Wealth Inequality in America & A TED Talk on Income Inequality by Nick Hanauer & Bill Maher on The Wealth Gap in America and the World (VIDEOS) 17MAI&20NOV12 & 3DEZ11

FEEL like you can't get ahead? It is not just a feeling, and it is not just you. Check out these videos. Why post them now? Just consider what the US Senate did last night into the early hours of today (22-23MAR13). A few bones have been tossed to the masses but by in large the rich are going to get richer, the 1% are going to get more of the nations wealth, and the rest of us will foolishly continue to fight among ourselves for the scraps. AND you gotta watch the Bill Maher video, he tells it like it is!!!!!

Infographics on the distribution of wealth in America, highlighting both the inequality and the difference between our perception of inequality and the actual numbers. The reality is often not what we think it is.

  HERE is a Ted Talk by Nick Hanauer in income inequality. The talk was "banned" (not released for broadcast and posting by TED censors until public outcry forced them to change their decision), since it directly challenged the status quo of the economic / political system protected by most republicans and democrats in an election year.
