Income inequality/unemployment

[thesamwise4]

Some recent statistics (and some not so recent) about income inequality, unemployment, and corporate profits.

Anyone who wants to paint the Occupy Movement as directionless and message-less privileged white kids who are protesting just for the fun of it, they should take a look at these graphs.

These graphs tell the story, don't they?

I'm amused by the fact that the moneyed people are accusing the media of encouraging "class warfare" when the inequities are pointed out. As the article shows, the classes have been at war for the past thirty-some years. And the rich are winning.

I showed this to a co-worker that was bashing the Occupy Atlanta protesters. He has a open mind though, he read it and seemed to understand better, perhaps. Why can't we show those that staunchly support the opinion that the Occupy protesters are unemployed Communist sympathizers who want to overthrow the US, that there is more to this than what the media is blasting us all?
