Two-thirds Americans believe money & wealth is unfairly distributed

Area 14/8

CBS/New York Times poll shows two-thirds of Americans believe money and wealth is unfairly distributed and almost half support Occupy Wall Street.

Same poll shows ninety per cent of Americans have no faith in the political system to make the right decisions.

Herman Cain and Rick Perry propose giving the rich yet more tax cuts.

Wharton M.B.A. students chant “Get a job” to O.W.S. protesters.

Is this how the American class war begins?

Probably not, but Moises Naim surely has it right when he says: “The long, peaceful coexistence with income and wealth inequality is ending.”
