It's kind of ironic that the same people who hate the UN for violating national sovereignty in the next breath promote garbage like this: Treaty gives CIA powers over Irish citizens By Dan Buckley US INVESTIGATORS, including CIA agents, will be allowed interrogate Irish citizens on Irish soil in total secrecy, under an agreement signed between Ireland and the US last week.

Yes. It is. I have posted two articles that describe the phenomenon very clearly. You have posted two articles that say the rich are getting richer faster then other groups, and that some other income groups aren't getting richer at all. That ignores the fact that none of these groups are actually the same people over time. More importantly it doesn't demonstrate or even suggest that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the other groups. If you get a big raise and I get a paycut, or if your investment pan out while mine go in the toilet, its unlikely that you are getting richer at my expense. If it walks like duck, quacks like a duck....etc. I haven't been quacking or duck walking. Arguing against attacks on the rich (either directly verbal attacks or more often proposals to take some of their wealth away) doesn't remotely resemble cheerleading for them. Tim
