The Federal Reserve and Quantitative Easing has had more negative impact on our economy than any other factor. By constantly increasing the money supply, the rich have gotten richer because most of that money goes to pumping up stock prices. Corporations have used it to buy back their stock instead of investing in new products and expanding their businesses. The average worker has suffered due to the increase in the prices of consumer goods caused by the increase in the money supply. Also, the second problem with our economy is money in politics. Ever wonder why so many politicians are millionaires? Political leadership was never meant to be a career. Corporations influence government by lobbying Congress and contributing to campaigns. This results in massive corruption. We need to take money out of politics. You shouldn't have to be wealthy to run for office.
