Click through the maps in the link below. Why isn't this front page news material? I wonder if it is truly worse today than 10 years ago? It would be interesting to see those maps.
I think its crazy that almost half of the country is living "on the edge". The government needs to do something because markets are not going to help with this problem.
Wow, those maps were quite a sight, especially the last one that showed income inequality over time. The front page news has their own agenda for profits or political alliances, and this may not for the time being be their highest priority.
Wow, we talk about how sever poverty is within our nation, but when you see it like this I cant help but think what can be done to change this? We cannot continue down this road.
I had no idea about this distribution, the states I thought were doing better, turns out aren't really doing well at all. ND seems like the least hit of all

ReplyDeleteThe article reminds me of watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM It illustrates fiscal illusion quite powerfully.

ReplyDeleteThe gini coefficient map is an eye opener. Income inequality is just getting worse every year.
ReplyDeletethere needs to be more work from the entire society to bring back the balance in income distribution. this is just sad
