20. "New study finds"? Huh?

I find no new news here. The real question is why do the people let them get the Hell away with that inequality. Maybe we need to go back and "study" the tale of Robin Hood economics and reprint it's findings. How's about Aesop's fables? Look it, all we ever needed was what we learned in kindergarten, right? Somehow, somewhere, along life's highway, we've ended up with
the "Haves" and the "Have Nots." It just doesn't work on the teeter-totter of life. Too damn much dishonesty, inequality, and morality have brought our Lincoln logs tumbling to the ground. It's allot to attend to. But I sincerely hope we can start with at least honesty and equality as we rebuild this broken society.
