Quote of the day

“Right now, it turns out, is a great time to be rich — quite possibly the best time ever.” -- Felix Salmon.

"Historically low tax rates on investment income, few unions to deal with, high unemployment which keeps a lid on wages and benefits, weak enforcement of labor laws, multitudes of tax loopholes and offshore tax dodges, low inflation, free-trade agreements that permit the global exploitation of labor, access to all levels of government power, two wars and a plethora of countries that are considered security threats, and a nervous, scared, divided, and apathetic middle class that is caving in to propaganda and relinquishing their only power: strength in numbers." --David Repulski, friend, St. Joseph, Missouri
