more on Wealth in America

Wealth in America: Income per year
U.S. income per year by group

click "Wealth in America" above to read statistics. If you want the statistics broken down further into groupings click "U.S. income per year by group". Both of these quotes are from wikipedia under the heading "Social Class in the United States" and subheading "Income".

I had a lot of difficulty getting the above blogs of mine to load. I don't think this is an accident somehow. To demonstrate that only 5% of the people of America make over about $150,000 per year we see what is really behind the killing of the unions in places like Wisconsin. The fight between the rich and the poor in America, definitely the rich are winning this fight right now. But just like Qaddafi in Libya, the very rich must know that in the end unless everyone has the right to an education and a right to an opportunity to succeed, there can only be revolution eventually in any country including the United States. So, networks like Fox News that ONLY cater to the needs of the upper 5% and many times even not even the richest needs are met.  To be aware that what Fox News is doing will eventually create a bloody revolution from all the lies and double speak here in the United States might be the most common sense thing for people to realize. How can people hide their heads under the sand while so many suffer in America?  How can any realistic person want to kill all the unions? Doing so will only kill the middle class. Without the middle class we are only a banana republic! Look at what is happening to Mexico! Do you want those kinds of problems here as well? If the unions are killed by taking away collective bargaining get used to what is happening to Mexico happening here in the U.S. as well.

To understand why I am upset at what is happening in Wisconsin please read:

Away from Wisconsin's Capitol, less shouting and more opinions
