A little more imagination

Imagine you live a city of one hundred people.  A hundred years ago, some thirty percent of the workforce was involved in manufacturing while an equal number was involved in agricultural production.  Now, only 20% is in manufacturing and less than 5% are in agriculture.  In the meantime, the number in service industries has gone doubled to 75%.  The problem is that those who control industries involved in production of goods, in your town only one or two people, are collecting larger shares of the income while paying proportionately less salaries, can only buy so many haircuts and get so many car washes.  The only way to have a viable economy in your town is to redistribute wealth among all the citizens.
