could this be the nations biggest problem







Joe Mac


something to think about: the top 1% has taken 95% of the additional income in the economic recovery since 2009; the top 10% has taken 45% of the remaining 5% of recovery ;the majority of offshore accounts are held by these people! the tax loop holes they use have shifted the tax burden to those making less than $114,000 a year!

is it any wonder with these flaws in the system places like Philly, Chicago and Detroit are closing schools laying off fireman and letting their superstructure decay while the top 10% siphon off the wealth of the country. studies have found that the us has the worst income inequality of all developed nations
