I am not convinced the rich are not dispensible. They are living here, but hiring foreign workers overseas and bringing in immigrants to work here for less money.

We don't have to buy from them, if they leave. We could all have a shot at replacing what they do. To hell with patents and copyrights:-)

So exactly when are the LEFT WING LIBERALS who support you people going to actually start putting THEIR money where their mouth is. Kennedy has been whining for YEARS that he wants to help the poor--ever saw him spend any of HIS money? What about Soros? And what about the left wing millionair HOLLYWOOD TYPES? It has been said before and proven with statistics--Republicans support charity with THEIR money. Democrats support charity with YOUR money.

Just reawards for the folks not getting into the kingdom of heaven

"Income-Gap Crisis"

really, no shit?

welcome to the class system, America

and as their wealth goes up, their morals,empathy,class,and values hit rock bottom.

americans want capitalism now live with it middle class as you line up to vote these two parties into office while they screw you over and over again and smile all the way to the bank with their large donations from corporations. ask hillary about her donations from medical insurance corporations and pharm corporations.

if she wins they will rake in big profits and bankrupt this country. what am I saying we are already bankrupt. print more money please.

That explains how someone could spend $2M for Limbturd's letter on eBay.
Incestuous, isn't it!!!

The smart billionaires of old flew under the radar
Thier offspring and new age billionaires aren't that savy and are to many years and zero's away from the knowledge that flaunting your wealth and upper class privledge will eventually cause you to lose your head.
The only lame defense they can come up with is the old bs "now your playing the class card!)
Yea we understand now (I hope!) that there is a class system in the USA and always has been one.

Them thats got and thems that's not.
maybe it's time for a cultural revolution here,
I know I'd love to see the Donald, Paris H, and some others like Steve Forbes made to wear dunce caps and have to sweep the streets

The pauperization,impoverishment, and intense marginalization of the American middle class continues incessantly with the widening of the income gap.The poor gets poorer and the riuch gets richer.Horatio Alger is DEAD !!

That photo- Is that a still from "La Dolce Vita"? Wow!

We've had too many years of this administration's policy which takes from the poor and gives to the rich. Our corporations have moved their logo overseas to avoid paying taxes. The jobs have moved overseas, which means we Americans have no work and are taxed on the little we manage to get. Yet Bush continues to give tax breaks to those who have made the mess. We little people have no jobs, no healthcare and little hope. Yet the tax breaks go to the rich. We have some like Gates and Oprah who give back. Then we have people like Bush and Paris who just take, thinking they're so great the world owes them. They need to be put in their place, and the taxes need to be paid by those who can afford to pay them. Until the system is fixed, the little people will continue to disappear into the background.

Yeah. Thanks, Bush. You're tax cuts that benefit the top 10% have helped your "base" do v-e-r-y well for themselves.

And your war is funneling billions to your buddies at Haliburton and the Military Industrial Complex.

And despite your rhetoric that the tax cuts and the war are for "our" benefit, who is REALLY the beneficiary here?

Certainly NOT the American people. Or the Iraqi people for that matter.

America has always been a plutocracy.

The difference is that social mobility has pretty much ended. Brains and hard work will no longer allow you to move up in class.

The rich are taking further steps to end social mobility. Their cheerleader Greenspan has called for increasing the immigration of the college educated to cut the cost of the labor of those who get college degrees.

And with 75 percent of college freshmen coming from the upper quarter of wealth, and only 5 percent coming from the bottom quarter, only rich kids can go to college and try for an advanced degree.

The American Dream is pretty much over. If I had to guess, I would say fascism is the end result of a plutocratic corporatist system.
