Asset inflation through low interest rates has distorted the market and rapidly increased the wealth gap.  

Reversing this would not be tolerated by the wealthy and the corporations nor would substantial tax increases on this group.  This  would also impact the assets of the less wealthy and lowering taxes and increasing social supports to offset the losses for this group would be vehemently opposed.

The wealthy and the corporations would be in favour of increasing government spending on infrastructure on which they would profit unless their tax rates are substantially increased to finance this.
