posting from Windsor Maine;
Steve Hoad


Good points in this article cover a real fact,
Currently in America the gap between rich and poor is continually widening.
The top ten percent of our country's incomes are averaging about $900,000
(nine hundred thousand) and the bottom 20 percent are at about $8600 (eight
thousand six hundred.

That's the rub,
when this wheel of import/export/export/import continues around the richest
come out on top and the poorest get rolled over.

This definitely requires a public policy shift! at the Federal level so our
real "working class" can still exist.  Not everybody can invent something,
not everybody wants to do a "think" job, and many don't have the capacity to
do so.

Steve, (off the soapbox now) Hoad
from a state where the poverty is apparent,
Maine
