8. This is true but I think we are starting to see a change.

The media are starting to pick up the buzz about income inequality just like this article.

Obama mentioned it.

The fact that taxes for the rich have dropped off so much and the effect on the deficit is starting to get mentioned.

The only thing I see that needs changed is when they talk about the deficit on the news 90% of the time then they go on to mention "cuts needed" but don't mention raising taxes on the rich as an option.

Worldwide people are getting pissed off. There is enough money being made even now to give them healthcare, retirement security and a decent wage but the unequal distribution is preventing it.

Both 2010 and 2012 the voters will reject the status quo. That will get their attention more.

2 years ago you did not hear the president or congress talk about income inequality.
