The Christian Science Monitor reports that entering an election year, the Democratic Party will seek to change the political conversation away from Obamacare and other issues that don\u2019t seem to be working for them right now. Instead, they will try to shift it to a discussion about growing income inequality<\/a>. There is growing concern across the country that the gap between the wealthy and everyone else is growing, and that we are in danger of losing our middle class.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s <\/span>the Democrats\u2019 other big issue for 2014<\/a> \u2013 enactment of an illegal alien amnesty and massive increases in new immigration. The problem the Democratic Party will have to address (or should be forced to address) is that immigration is a primary cause of income inequality in the U.S., and the \u201creforms\u201d they are pushing would only make the problem worse.<\/span><\/p>\n
