As usual, the ever-expanding economic divideremains the most under-considered issue worldwide. Through the prism (pyramid) of its creation, the ways it maintains itself, and its long and short term ramifications, every other major issue of our time is better understood, if not directly tied. This includes war, immigration, education, crime, health care, even climate change and national security. At what point should we (they)be more afraid of our own economically terrorized 90+%than of bands of 'extremists' holed up in caves on the other side of the world, disenfranchised and radicalized by the exact same forces?
Perhaps there is hope.
It now appears that the free traders have lost the public opinion war (years after failing the smell and reality tests). Will the 51% of Americans whom these findings suggest are supporters of Fair Trade push this issue into the Presidential debate? How will the corporate media respond? What will it say about the Democratic Party if it fails to reconcile the will of the American people with the will of the wealth hoarders?
