Governmental indifference leads to economic inequality

Democratic government is 'motored' by democratic values. The economy is 'motored' by profits. The Top of government is an essential part of a democracy because it provides the 'form' of government. However, the Bottom of democratic government is the essence of democracy. An economy is essential to every political entity, even if its not a democracy. Of course, the reason for that is that each and every human being has to live in the world. That is the case, regardless the ideology, or the political system. However, in a democracy the Top of government sets the parameters of the democratic value system. I refer to political values. Political values are not dependent on economic values, although economic values are dependent on democratic values. Nevertheless, the economy of every Nation is important because it 'provides' sustenance, and a 'life-style', for the Bottom. The 'well-being' of the Peoples of a democracy is greatly determined by the government's attitude to its economy. As a general formulation, the term "the economy" is a general abstraction that refers to a 'level of efficiency, distribution, and accumulation' of 'economic value'. Every government should 'want' to establish a 'well-ordered' economic system. So, why does democratic government remain 'aloof' of the inequalities established by its economic system. Its insane to show that the top 1% 'holds' the majority of the money acquired by 'successful' entrepreneurs. Economies were never intended to be politically 'transformed' into 'Plutocracy' or any other form of government. Economies are not governments; they function within governments, but are not intended to change the nature of the government within which they flourished. That's greed at its worse. A big culprit in the economic imbalances that exist are caused by corporations. Democratic government should have more 'control' over its corporations.
