And still the influence of 'government is the problem' is alive and well in my home country, the Netherlands. We are in no way in a state like the US, and still the largest political party wants to cut taxes and decrease government influence. Despite all the evidence contrary. For me, someone interested in politics, this is pretty obvious. Every european reporter that covers US politics talks about this divide: rich vs poor. I do agree with other posters here that the article doesn't back up any claims with evidence, but I guess that's in the book. The author seems credible, to say the least.
