Re: Inequality & Growth
No matter how badly you exploit your workers, hiring somebody is fundamentally different from owning him.
I'd add, owning him and his wife, and all of his descendants is fundamentally different economically from bad pay.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King
If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Scott Adams

Re: balanced budgets
N. Carolina's Pat McCrory are all dealing with budget deficits that republican policies made happen.
Not sure how to assign the blame here in N. Carolina. One of the reasons the governor and state legislature is now dominated by Republicans is because the democrats made a mess of things when they had the hammer. McCrory inherited quite a financial mess from the previous democratic governor.
I am not fan of McCrory or the republican legislature's expressed policy of interfering in the affairs of the more progressive cities in the state, and I am appalled by his economic policy and the rampant cronyism. But we cannot blame much of NC's current financial woes on the current administration.
