"According to Reich, they are the elite who constitute about 20% of the U.S. population. In the last 15 years, they have seen their inflation-adjusted incomes increase 9%.

The other 80% of the work force includes people with more conventional jobs, along with lower-skilled workers who gravitate toward more modest or even minimum wages.

Reich reckons that that 80% has seen its inflation-adjusted income decrease 11% in the past 15 years.

Very telling - the Ghost of Elections Coming.

We are a political economy not an economic text book economy. People vote and they vote with their pocketbooks.

Voters need Republican and Corporate patriotism in the war on American jobs or we will become socialist at an even greater speed than Bush is driving.

God Bless Us, Everyone.
