It’s the Inequality, Stupid: If this does not make you want to fight our system nothing will

February 26, 2011 By Egberto Willies

This is one of the most complete compilation of data that illustrate what has been occurring in the United States for the last 30 years. It should give every American citizen pause. If this data does not break the indoctrination that the Right has had on many citizens then nothing will.

I am of the belief that the lack of dissemination of this data by the main stream media while being available from academia and the government is a direct result of a corporate controlled media. While we have thousands in Wisconsin and around the entire United States rallying against Republican governors intent to destroy unions and with that middle class wages, ABC News decided instead to give much more coverage on teachers unions and the difficulty of firing a few bad teachers. In effect ABC News would mostly disregard the severity of the middle class rally for a union’s right for collective bargaining to universally malign unions in general.

Who would have thought that it would be a rant by FoxNews’ Sheppard Smith coming to the defense of the Unions and the middle class. Who would have thought that after the blunder of Governor Walker maligning unions and the middle class in a prank call to "billionaire Koch” that it would be ignored by main stream media so soon.

Americans are being played and lest we wake up our march to indentured servitude is guaranteed.
