I read recently in the book "A Generation of Sociopaths" an interesting perspective I hadn't before considered. The book's claim was that as the Baby Boomer generation aged into a capital owning class, they used their democratic voting influence to impact companies they increasingly owned via stocks.

I don't know if I buy it, but it was an interesting take on the political and tax changes that began in the late 70s and early 80s.
