Still the Land of Opportunity?
"The American public has always cared more about equal opportunity than about equal results.
"The commitment to provide everyone with a fair chance to develop their own talents to the fullest is a central tenet of the American creed.
"This belief has deep roots in American culture and American history and is part of what distinguishes our public philosophy from that of Europe.
"Socialism has never taken root in American soil."
That "commitment to provide everyone with a fair chance..." has always applied mostly to White Americans. Chattel slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, for-profit prisons explain more about Chicago's blight than almost anything else.
I suspect georgephillip is a black failure who has to blame someone elseThis scam keeps going on beause people like George knows they gets paid. The route from point A to point B is quick this way. Massive lawsuits, payoffs and abuse of the social welfare programs has enriched many at the expense of the those who live by rules. Sadly the poverty has not wavered but the costs to keep people treading the same level of living is massive in psychotic ways. The "crib" could be worn down with stealing utilities while the clothing, jewelry, sneakers are expensive and nice cars are near standardized.
Over the past forty years we've seen any link between ethical values and economics, i.e., the idea that people would earn income by providing a productive service to society replaced by Finance Capitalism's unearned income of usury, rent extraction, capital gains, and asset-price inflation. The negative externalities of these forty years of neoliberal economics are becoming too extreme to ignore:We had a Fiat Currency enacted in 1913 but kept under mostly control until 1971. The game has changed in many ways. This is one of them. A big one. Personal wealth exploded over foundation.
Are you blind to the fact that government's monopoly of violence is what allowed you to acquire your income? Parasites like you want all the protections that government affords without paying for it.Are you fucking serious? The government has taken 50% of my income for my entire life. I could have retired 20 years ago if not for that.
Government Resources: Federal, State, and Local: Professional Writing ProgramGovernment doesn't have any "resources." I doesn't have anything that it hasn't taken from us firts. The it charge a huge handling charge for the transaction. Most of the money government spends is wasted, so it's obviously much larger than what government has "given" me.
How many US billionaires existed prior to Reagan's election?Ronald Reagan's son is a left-wing homosexual who never had anything good to say about any Republican.

America is filled with minority immigrants who are middle class and many are wealthy
where do you live George?

Are you denying the existence of class war in the US?rica. There are gaps and flaws that have been addressed. Redistribution of wealth and punishment of the wealthy is not a solution unless your real goal is class warfare and elimination of the Middle Class.
Income inequality is not necessarily derived from Class Warfare. Further, your graph shows income inequality as a catalyst in racial economic disparities over the last 5 decades. What also has transpired over the last five decades is more minorities are living the majority of their lives on government assistance. That will drive racial economic inequalities as well. Think about it.Are you denying the existence of class war in the US?
If so, how do you explain rising economic inequality in this country over the last five decades.

Fella...if you look at everything in one myopic way then the picture shown is validated. I like these things also. But then there are the many different ways in many different ways of how we have ways of living. So we choose two different parties with the party in control passing legislation in which a real small percentage of the population may approve of. In this case you are looking at this as a college graduate scientific sensible answer. But the reality of raising a child is much different. For example...They are comedically called...Crumb Snatchers! We have shitted on parents for decades while social justice with extreme feminism took over in our nation.Over the past forty years we've seen any link between ethical values and economics, i.e., the idea that people would earn income by providing a productive service to society replaced by Finance Capitalism's unearned income of usury, rent extraction, capital gains, and asset-price inflation.

You seem to have an unusually negative attitude about AmericaFinding a relative few minorities who have "succeeded" (by exploiting their workers) doesn't alter the fact that the engine driving US GDP has seen its income level fall relative to the richest Americans over the past five decades.
I hope there were more afterwards.How many US billionaires existed prior to Reagan's election?
What do you imagine that proves?
Like I said: worthless pile of shit.Only for a brainwashed troll.
"Expanding on a hypothesis of 'post-traumatic slavery syndrome' by psychiatrist Alvin Francis Poussaint and journalist Amy L. Alexander, DeGruy wrote in her 2001 doctoral thesis that African Americans 'sustained traumatic injury as a direct result of slavery and continue to be injured by traumas caused by the larger society's policies of inequality, racism, and oppression.'[2]: 91–92 This is summed up in Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome as:
