Is there Income Mobility in America?
Are the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer? Prof. Sean Mulholland uses several statistical measures and finds that this common perception may not be accurate. A surface-level examination of statistics may indicate that the poor are getting poorer, but a more thorough study shows that there is more income mobility in the United States than many might think. Prof. Mulholland highlights data showing household income by quintile adjusted for inflation and even uses data that follows specific households over time. For example, if we look at households in the bottom quintile in 1987 and follow those individual households until 1996, about 45 percent of them have moved up to a higher quintile.
In the next 10-year period, about 40 percent of households move up. Watch the video to see Prof. Mulholland's findings about income mobility for the top 20 percent of income earners over time and for U.S. households across generations, too. Prof. Mulholland says this data provides "evidence that the possibility of upward mobility in the United States is still very real."
Steve Horwitz explains that, contrary to popular belief, the poor are getting richer: Learnliberty.org

Lawrence Lessig - We the People the Republic we must reclaim
There is a corruption at the heart of American politics, caused by the dependence of Congressional candidates on funding from the tiniest percentage of citizens. That's the argument at the core of this blistering talk by legal scholar Lawrence Lessig. With rapid-fire visuals, he shows how the funding process weakens the Republic in the most fundamental way, and issues a rallying bipartisan cry that will resonate with many in the U.S. and beyond.

USA Inc. examines the U.S. government’s income statement and balance sheet, interprets the underlying data and facts, and illustrates patterns and trends in easily understandable terms. This timely and comprehensive report also analyzes what’s driving federal revenue and the history of expense growth, and it presents some practical scenarios for how revenue and expense growth might change to help the country move toward positive cash flow. Read the full report to see why Mary and her co-contributors say, “We believe it’s especially important to pay closer attention to one of our most important investments.”

Ron Paul Still Has Rockstar Following Despite Media Blackout
RT's Kristine Frazao reports on the true story of Ron Paul's support nationwide. The only thing she forgot to mention is that the only thing keeping Dr. Ron Paul from winning a majority of caucuses and delegates is a combination of American mainstream media spin/ignoring of Ron Paul and the very real possibility of voter fraud, as can be seen in this exposee article.

Ok, obviously this is the opinion of the filmmaker not mine but its interesting food for thought nonetheless so reposting. I've got some good friends who are Jewish so I know they are overall kind people who would never condone any kind of Zionist conspiracy, were it in fact reality. Those who are truly Jewish want peace and prosperity for the entire planet, including in Palestine, although that seems difficult but certainly not impossible.

Set against a backdrop of greed, corruption and political intrigue, lies a story of love, power and betrayal. Beginning with a revolution, and ending on the other side of the world, it is a story about money, oil , and a clandestine romance of a beautiful woman in love with a man from a foreign land. This is where cultures clash, friendships tested, bonds broken and lives lost, in an international conspiracy of lies, spies and secret agendas, hidden behind a Golden Veil.

Why Wikipedia and other sites are going down to protest SOPA
Wikipedia, one of the highest-traffic sites on the Internet, will shut down for 24 hours in protest of these laws, which the website says would make it very difficult -- maybe impossible -- for its nonprofit encyclopedia to continue to operate. The blackout starts at 12 a.m. ET on Wednesday. BCmoney will support the protest with a temporary overlay to raise awareness.

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America
This video was originally created to be part of an art exhibit for Exposed the Art Project , a multimedia collaboration raising awareness of social issues. The group decided that the message in the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America shouldn't be put on hold. So here it is. The other artists of Exposed the Art Project are: painters Barry Gross and Viktor Safonkin, and photographers Adela Holmes and Presscott McDonald. We picked four themes for our premier—Social Commentary, Spirituality, Metamorphosis and Time and Chance. To see/hear more of Neal's work go to TheRealNealFox.com
