I came across this a few days ago and am just now getting around to posting it. I thought I had a reasonably good understanding of the wealth inequality in America. I was wrong.

If I had to classify myself in political terms, I'd have to say I'm more of a Libertarian than anything else. I am most definitely NOT a Socialist. But I think the reality depicted in this video might actually be worse than Socialism!
That’s the reality. I don’t even know why so many people don’t know this.
Excellent point!
Excellent find!
It certainly is. I hope you dropped by Pied Type to thank her!
I shall do so post-haste!
Thanks man. I feel less like a thief when my sources get some love too!
Thanks for the reblog, Mak. First time I know of that it actually got me a new subscriber.
I saw, I’m glad, and you are so very welcome my friend!
Wow. I mean wow. Wake up call.
I was thinking about this while reading your Happy Women’s Day post, and imagining how much worse the data must be for women!
Oh yes, dearie. I faced that pay her less because she’s female thing several times in my career, and I fought it loudly.
I hope you won!

Two months have passes since the original posting. It made me fell ill and hopeless. When the original posting was made I stashed it away as I was at a loss for words. Now I realize that I can’t write those words, but I still want to puke.
I couldn’t agree with you more Phillip!
I am sending this to my Dad…….(he is republican)…and just don’t get it.. We have had some big discussions…maybe this will help him…..LOL My father is one of the smartist people I have ever know (seriously) and I love him dearly……..
but he just don’t get it.
Well, it’s certainly a conversation starter alright.
Funny, I’ve heard my kids say the same thing about me…
