The Great Divide

The data is clear, America is experiencing a dangerous income and wealth disparity in this country. Check out this link for more information on the historical disparities between the rich and the poor in this country. I think you will see that we do not have as much of a spending problem as we do a revenue problem facilitated by a decrease in taxes paid by the wealthy, decreases in taxes collected as a percentage of GDP and stagnant wages for the middle class, job insecurity and unemployment while .... while ... wait for it ... while Congress considers yet more tax cuts for the wealthy and the elimination of Social Security, Medicare, food programs for poor children, Head Start and more. This is not right my friends. http://www.slate.com/id/2266174/
