I'm not saying they're not related, but to assume they are is pretty presumptuous

The increase in the share of income going to the top 10% follows the same path as the increase in global temperatures. Everything is related!

[Munson]

They're definitely related, and it was exacerbated by the sharp tax cuts for the rich during the Reagan Admin...you can pretty much see where Reagan's presidency started in any chart on income or wealth inequality.

Hey man, the money won't trickle down very fast if you don't have a lot of it at the top.

Voting against your own financial interest is a way of life in this stupid country.

I was born in 1974 causing an uptick in the disparity. When I started getting laid in 1990, the climb becomes even more aggressive. I must be a rich making union busting motherfarger

Obama talking about making two years of community college free to everyone "willing to work for it". Between that and the "results based cost" approach that Oregon is implementing there might yet be hope for changing our ridiculous higher education debt trap.

Convicted 'eco-terrorist' freed amid claims FBI hid evidence

Until this week, the federal government officially considered Eric Taylor McDavid a threat to the nation, a radical eco-terrorist who plotted to bomb or torch the Nimbus Dam, a U.S. Forest Service lab and cellphone towers in the Sacramento region.

The former college student and house-framer from Foresthill was so dangerous that, after a 10-day trial in Sacramento in 2007, he was sentenced to nearly 20 years in federal prison in a case touted by the FBI as a shining example of its success in fighting domestic terrorism.

Then, the government changed its mind, conceding that thousands of pages of evidence that should have been given to McDavid's defense attorney years ago – including love notes to a young woman who turned out to be an FBI plant – had instead been secretly held in an FBI file in Sacramento until recently. The best course of action, the government ultimately decided, was to set McDavid free.

If you're not breaking the law you have nothing to worry about.

Also - Congress.
