The best point here is the way the GOP and Wall Street defenders turn any questioning of income inequality into anti-capitalist criticism of success. There is no in between, no room for discussion. In their mind, any discussion of income inequality is off the table. kind of the way, the House republicans have signed tax pledges refusing to raise taxes one cent. No room for negotiation, no analysis involved.

Ofcourse, anyone who so desperately wants to quiet discussion on a particular topic knows they can't defend their position. For them, even discussing income inequality is high stakes, it threatens their VERY luxurious lifestyle. They are not going to take threats to that lightly, and not only are they not going to entertain decreasing income inequality, even the prospect of discussing this issue will be met with their full force.

It seems we are in the middle of a major class struggle in which one side, the poor, is almost unaware. The rich are so afraid of them being awakened, they cannot afford certain discussions. Any criticism from the President threatens to awaken the beast and they know it.

Cory Booker's point was so damaging because it evidences his deep, deep corruption about which he is in denial. Discussing the mertis of venture capitalists is a very healthy discussion to be having, but Booker is so corrupted he finds such discussion "nauseating." He equates it to the birther's attacks on Obama. How discussing the merits of a financial system that leaves workers destroyed and accrues massive wealth to a few is equally nauseating to racist, unfounded personal attacks is only puzzling if you don't understand how Wall Street uses their money, donating to Booker, to silence any dissent.
