The Richest 1% Have Captured America's Wealth -- What's It Going to Take to Get It Back?

The U.S. already had the highest inequality of wealth in the industrialized world prior to the financial crisis -- and it's gotten even worse.

This article from February 17, 2010 is very pertinent to our cause. It is 5 pages long and worth every letter.

Chock full of statistics and links to more info.

The millionaires and billionaires that form AIPAC have been contributing to Congressmen pockets to keep the wars rolling in the Middle East. We need to stop this madness and bring our troops home. Occupy AIPAC is coming in March.

Chucklehead liberals can't get off the wrong idea that rich people are causing all their problems in life.

perhaps... but chuckle headed liberals at least justify with their views with statistics rather than ad hominem name calling. Cheers!
