Does it really make a difference?

20. Inequality, by any other name, smells...

I don't get your point. Even if that the bottom 99% are not faring so well is a fallacious meme, and that it should be, more correctly, the bottom 80% — are you suggesting this is better?

First reaction: For all the number salad you toss out there that this is so, I can point to a plethora of data that refute the parsing. I find it helpful to visit http://inequality.org/ frequently to remind myself exactly how tilted the economic reality has become, in this country and globally.

As an example, I find this:

Joseph Stiglitz, The former head of President Bill Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers, says the growing gulf between the 1 percent and the rest of the U.S. population is hurting the economic recovery.

Second reaction:
I still don't get the point. Is it that things are not as bad as some are saying, or am I just blinded by the blizzard of numbers and am misreading? I'm proud you appear to be trying to be seeking elective office (if I likewise understood the intent of your site, Koch2congress). However, maybe because you appear to be seeking a position in the sphere of politics, I'm doubly troubled that you also appear to suggest things are not so bad.

With the Corporazi Right attempting Gerrymander the Electoral College, I believe things are very bad indeed. And with this ongoing war against our democratic republic being waged by the moneyed elite, this is no time to let up (that's a shout-out to the original post).
