While reading the news this morning I came across this piece from the ragin' cajun. It is a little disorganized, but a good read nonetheless. I wish more liberals had the guts to say this.
The main point of the article is this:
The story said that the recent economic crisis left the average American family in 2010 with no more wealth than in the early 1990s, erasing almost two decades of accumulated prosperity, reducing their net worth by almost 40%.
And the response of the national elite, the people Paul Krugman refers to as "very smart people" or I like to call the "chin-scratchers," was a barely audible whimper.
I hope more and more people realize that the middle class is getting screwed and it's not by the government. The gap between rich and poor is growing swiftly and anyone who does not realize this is delusional. Carville also pulls some punches at industry and institutions such as the Catholic Church. I agree with what he is saying and I hope you do as well. We need to start the momentum to bridge this gap for the future of our "democracy"
