Thanks for the Moyers bit. I will listen to it and get teh book. My daughter made me aware of just how destructive income inequality is to a society. And we are like 65th in the world? Some horrendous number, above Rawanda and below Uganda!

We really must do something about it. As usual, it will end up being the chore of the liberals.

Here is a link for the first piece of Moyers' new series:

The Winner Take All Economy
vimeo.com

Even if you don't look at the entire video, watch for a minute or so from about 10:30. There is a graph that illustrates how inequality has grown since 1979. It is the "have-it-alls" (the wealthiest .01%) vs. the rest of America.
