• Tea Party was not victimized: On the IRS list for scrutiny, ‘Progressive’ & anything that ‘appears anti-Republican’ | FreakOutNation

In a capitalist system, rising inequality creates a death spiral of falling demand that ultimately takes everyone down.
  Low-wage jobs are fast replacing middle-class ones in the U.S. economy. Sixty percent of the jobs lost in the last recession were middle-income, while 59 percent of the new positions during the past two years of recovery were in low-wage industries that continue to expand such as retail, food services, cleaning and health-care support. By 2020, 48 percent of jobs will be in those service sectors.
