surprise! rich get richer

while many of us suffered layoffs & outsourcing and have had to cut back on travel and food due to spiraling costs, you'll be reassured to hear that the top 1% in terms of income continued to rape & pillage at a record rate this year.

translation: the top 1% in income now own at least 35% of all available assets. meanwhile, kids in chicago are skipping school to protest the lack of funding compared to rich suburban schools, a record number of soldiers are committing suicide due to extended tours and insufficient funding of the va, and agriprocessors - the largest kosher meat packing plant in the u.s. - is using child labor - and illegal immigrants, at that!

if someone moved your cheese, it's a good bet that it's somewhere in the rich guy's house.
