A Facebook friend credits this powerful graphic to Mike Treder, Managing Director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, at Trinity College in Hartford CT.

Hat tip to TBogg for his quick takedown of Stanford / Hoover Institution's preeminent oligarchical butt licker, Richard Epstein. TBogg linked to this hair-raising article from The Guardian: Young jobseekers told to work without pay or lose unemployment benefits.
