Overwhelming Evidence that Half of America is In or Near Poverty

29. "Inequality for All"

I watched Bob Reich's movie "Inequality for All" twice this weekend (once by myself, then made the family watch).

Sad to say that Pres. Obama and much of the Democratic Party are doing very little to change the structural nature of our economy that creates this kind of poverty and stresses for poor, working and middle class Americans. Of course, the Repuglicans are much worse.

While a very upbeat movie, I am pleased to say that Reich does not sugar-coat the problems and doesn't end with one of those 'everything will get better if you just vote or send money or do so and so'.

Indeed, with the reports of the millions and million of dollars the Koch's are already spending on election 2014, I am rather convinced that things are going to get worse before they get better.

Maybe that is what has to happen, the next leg down of the 2008 crash (we are still in a slow moving recession no matter what the politicians say) might be what it takes to bring about the revolutionize of this economy for the average people.
