Escalating Inequality

Here are 10 economic facts that must be addressed to save the U.S. economy:

1. The rich are getting richer, the rest of us are not;

2. Wall Street/CEOs greed;

3. The “too big to fail banks” are getting bigger;

4. Students are crippled with debt;

5. We lead the developed world in child poverty;

6. You can’t live on the minimum wage;

7. The tax system favors the rich;

8. The rich buy the political system;

9. The “American Dream” is fading away;

10. The U.S. has the largest number of prisoners of any country in the world.

I urge you to think about these facts when deciding the candidate you select to vote for as president.
