Get Rich or Die Tryin' - Inequality, Education and the American Dream
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer in America, and nowhere else. This reality is popular in the news these days, as it both provokes maximum interest and also opens itself to be manipulated by all sorts of political spinmasters, which in turn creates more news. The Left savors every glimpse of middle-class struggles during economic expansion, which they tout as the golden nugget of proof finally adjudicating the free market as inherently bad for workers.
