Sorry cinderella you can't come to the ball we burned your dress.

The sad part about it countries with greater enfranchisement Canada, Denmark, Germany, New Zeland also have higher standards of living and healther economies than the US and Britain that seem to me married to this economic inequality = stronger economy bollocks that has never been proven but is the central dogma (and possibly purpose) of the cult of neo-classical economics.

There is a movement going on associated with ad-watch and yes men types (the folks behind occupy) to not let untested pseudo-scientific neo-classical economic rationales go unquestioned.

(I think occupy was actually a provo to show police brutality to mainstream (read white) America. It succeed swimmingly.)
