thank god! more gazillionaires!

According to Forbes, "The combined net worth of the nation's wealthiest climbed to $1 trillion, up $45 billion in 12 months." The sheer number of billionaires has increased to its highest-ever levels.

And of course, from reading this journal you already know that CEO salaries have increased 279% in the past decade and that workers' income has increased 46%. And you also of course know that the number of Americans living in poverty increased by 1.3 million last year. People. We can't afford to elect more fucking Republicans, come on. We can't afford to elect more rank and file Dems, either. Are the true liberals in the house?? Time to get some equality up in here. Time to get some holistic evaluation in this joint and stop worrying so much about what we might lose. Because we're losing, big time.
