The issue has much more to do with the fact that the people at the top take more than ever before, they were always rich, but the numbers now vs. the middle class are staggering. But I can't see how anything changes.

I don't believe that Randy, people aren't poor because they are inferior, there are a million reasons behind every person's outcome. I do agree about the gap and again...only a change in ideology will change anything!
