UN: Financial Inequality Rapidly Grows in US A new United Nations report has revealed major US cities, including New York, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans, have levels of economic inequality that rival cities in Africa. The report found that the United States had the highest inequality and poverty after Mexico and Turkey, and the gap has increased rapidly since 2000. The life expectancy of African Americans in the United States is about the same as that of people living in China and some states of India.

Since the mid 1980s France, Greece and Spain were some of the few countries where income gaps shrank, the Paris-based organization said. Over the past five years, income inequality and poverty increased the most in the US, Canada, Germany and Norway, while the gap shrank in Greece, Mexico and the UK. Unemployment among the low skilled and poorly educated is one of the main drivers of the growing income gap, the report said. Government redistribution through taxation and distribution of benefits offset this by reducing income inequality by about one- third on average. The largest part of the increase in inequality comes from changes in the labor markets. This is where governments must act,'' OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria said. Increasing employment is the best way of reducing poverty.'' About 1 in 10 people in OECD countries had an income below half of the national median in 2005, the report said. Poverty rates are the furthest above the OECD average in Mexico, where the rate is one in 20, and furthest below average in Denmark, where the rate is one in five. The OECD is an organization of thirty countries dedicated to democratic and free market principles. ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:54:39 -0400 Income Inequality Growing 11991523 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/presidential-politics-lecture-3/11991523/

Normally I prefer to NOT talk about the US elections. I m not very impressed or excited by the actions and promises of either candidate of the 2 parties that share control of the country.  Sure Obama says things I like better than the things that McCain says. But that doesn t automatically mean I m satisfied or impressed. One of the big issues for me is poverty.  Gone is the one candidate who at least spoke the words the poor in his speeches and proposed policies (John Edwards), the remaining 2 candidates call everyone working families or hard working Americans, little buzz phrases that are just vague enough to make everyone think this candidate is speaking for them.   Meanwhile poverty in the US is on the increase, and also alarming, the wealthy class is more wealthy than ever in history and that gap between the two is wider then ever.  A fact that opens the door to many social, financial, and political problems.. yet there is little action or demand to put a stop to it.  (yes yes, both candidates mention their concern for CEO s making so much money, I m aware of that) All this to bring me to my big recommendation of the day; the latest edition of Radio Open Source, where Chris interviews Chuck Collins.  While I ve never heard of Chuck Collins, who is a specialist in the areas of US incomes, property, and economics, I found myself rewinding various segments to listen again. You ve heard it said before, though rarely do leaders or corporate media investigate it, the inequality boom in the United States is dangerous.  I highly recommend listening to this interview and soaking it in, it is the kind of critical thinking that we should be pummeling these candidates with.. obligating them to not just make the occasional lament, but to lay out a serious point by point plan for turning the tide and making it politically and hopefully cuturally a priority to preserve opportunity and keep the playing field of life and work from becoming an out of control thunderdome. ]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:30:39 -0400 The Super Rich vs The Super Poor in the US 11537391 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/mccain-feels-the-heat-from-anti-immigration-movement/11537391/
