The only other people that I hear talking about this are Thom Hartmann and Mike Pappintonio.
We need this to catch on fire, so everybody hears this, then maybe we can make some changes as a nation.

ANY information about radical income inequity should be promulgated far and wide, to help everyone understand how self destructive is our current economic behavior.

In addition to understanding the implications of Gladwell's observations, we must viscerally understand the portents of Haim Bodek's disclosures.

We are witness to our species' extinction event, and it's being driven by the hedonism writ large among our uber wealthy.
