    From the Economic Policy Institute: The New Gilded Age - excerpt:

    If Income Disparity does not disturb you, then you are living on the wrong planet.

    The US is back to where it was before the Revolution, when the King of England and his henchmen were profiting from the notable riches of the "colonies". How do you think Pennsylvania got it's name? It means "Penn's Woods", which was a gift to William Penn from King Charles II of England for "services rendered". (See here.)

    And from that glorious revolution against the British monarchy that we had in 1776, here we are 242 years later with the same disposition of income going unfairly to a highly select and very small percentage of the population.

    Which economists at the UofCal researched and depicted as such:

    Just how long as a nation will we continue to deny the truth of Gross Income Disparity as shown above? Just how long will it take for us to do-something-about-it? How long before it all explodes in our face - just like it did in 1776!

    And more recently in the Watts Riots of 1965. Can't happen again? Oh, yes it can.

    "I have a dream" has turned into a nightmare and not just for the blacks ...
