I am talking about the disparity of income in this country. If we didn't have such a huge gap, everyone could live more comfortably. The gap was not always this huge. Couples in the middle class used to be able to afford living on one income even while buying a house. The middle class is what made this country strong. The middle class is disappearing because the people at the top keep demanding ever higher incomes. We need things to swing in the other direction for a while to bring us back into balance. And NO, I do not mean that everyone should have the same things and earn the same amount. We DO have the ability to end poverty in this country. Maybe we need to snatch some of the power away from the people at the top in order to acheive this. Greed has brought us to the brink of destruction. It's time to do something about that.
And don't think those at the bottom will continue to just take it from the rich. One day people will rise up and we will have a bloody revolution on our hands if these things are not addressed.
