re: article on rising income inequality
A lot of the rising income inequality can be blamed on the failure of the Obama Administration and the Democrats to enforce affirmative action in public works projects... especially those projects which received stimulus funding.
The Native American Indian Labor Union #12 in Bemidji Minnesota is presently suing in court to try to get affirmative action enforced on a massive construction project, the Bemidji Regional Event Center because federal, stale and local officials refused to implement and devise an affirmative action program thus denying over a hundred jobs to Native American Indian workers who are suffering 55% and more unemploymeny rates on three nearby reservations with the city of Bemidji, Minnesota having a 25% Native American Indian population suffering an 85% rate of unemployment and poverty.
The rising income inequality has a most pernicious racist age to it given institutionalized racism that is going largely unmentioned by almost everyone.
Yours in the struggle,
