Re: Inequality is making Americans poorer (4.00 / 4)

Thus, the conservative economics columnist of Europe's foremost business newspaper expects a "soak the rich" campaign, and indeed seems to think that it would be pretty justified. What are you guys waiting for??

You are already poorer than the French, with no free healthcare, no permanent holidays, and no pains au chocolat. What more do you need to act?!

Isn't this what I've been saying all along? I've been banging on that drum so long I'm wondering if anyone can hear anymore!

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

LOL Izzy, you're not the only one banging this drum you know... And no, no-one has been listening so far, so the drum must go on...
