Believe it or not, the United States now ranks the highest among the highly developed countries in each of the seven measures of inequality tracked by the index. While we enjoy the second highest GDP in the world (excluding tiny Luxembourg), we rank dead last among the 20 most developed countries in fighting poverty and we're off the chart in terms of the number of Americans living on half the median income or less.
And the outlook is for more of the same. On the eve of George W. Bush's second inauguration The Economist - not exactly a Marxist rag - produced a sobering analysis of what is happening to the old notion that any American can get to the top. With income inequality not seen since the first Gilded Age (and this is The Economist editors speaking, not me) - with "an education system increasingly stratified with fewer resources than those of their richer contemporaries" and great universities "increasingly reinforcing rather than reducing these educational inequalities" - with corporate employees finding it "harder…to start at the bottom and rise up the company hierarchy by dint of hard work and self-improvement" - "with the yawning gap between incomes at the top and bottom" - the editors of The Economist - all friends of business and advocates of capitalism and free markets -- concluded that "The United States risks calcifying into a European-style class-based society." |

Remember VEYA? Martell Miller and Patrick Thompson. The courageous men who filmed the documentary about policing in Champaign county, that resulted in them being charged with eavesdropping!! Patrick is still facing the allegations of home invasion and sexual assault that have been pending ever since the eavesdropping case first began. These are serious charges that can result in a prison sentence of more than thirty years!!! What's amazing about the whole thing is that, THERE'S NO, that's right, NO EVIDENCE!!(No fingerprints, clothes fibers, blood, semen, footprints, bruises, or witnesses..

It is not the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments that form the bedrock of American values. It is the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution. If anything should be chiseled in stone on our public buildings, it's the Bill of Rights. |
