Market Failure.

When your fiscal picture gets out of whack, people tend to get resentful about the people who are doing well despite the chaos. Good economies can tend to hide the affluent crooks of its society, but in bad economies they become more conspicuous. You saw the Republicans try to pick up the class warfare theme for their own benefit in 2008, which was pretty goddamn stupid. As I already mentioned in a pervious post, bad times in less stable countries tend to produce Marxist dictators. In politically stable countries like ours, you tend to get really good music. The current batch unlistenable shit being the exception to the rule is just yet another failure of the Bush administration.
