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

Produced by the Center for a New American Dream.
Psychologist Tim Kasser discusses how America's culture of consumerism undermines our well-being. When people buy into the ever-present marketing messages that "the good life" is "the goods life," they not only use up Earth's limited resources, but they are less happy and less inclined toward helping others. The animation both lays out the problems of excess materialism and points toward solutions that promise a healthier, more just, and more sustainable life.

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

Occupy Protests Spread Across Canada
According to an article by MetroNews Halifax, Vancouver-based author and marxist sympathizer Min Reyes believes that the protests sweeping North America and much of the developed world is a "global awakening where we need to figure out how to save our world from destruction".
Love it, hate it or feel indifferent about it, the protests in the spirit of "Occupy Wall Street" have clearly arrived in Atlantic Canada, with the biggest turnout so far over this past weekend on October 15th, 2011.

GENOCIDE and slavery may be in our future if we don't learn from the past. This is a disturbing and prophetic lecture from 1994. Ever ask yourself why you are capable of balancing your check book and the best and brightest minds plucked by the government have done everything to ruin it for us and our children when they are paid by us to protect us? Well, the private Federal Reserve (the goons who print your money) actually pay them, you just pay interest to it's shareholders. The more debt the more interest. Just look at the top profitable banks in the world and you'll know who they are. Quotes from Dr John Coleman, Gerald Celente, Tom Hartman, Katherine Austin Fitts are used in this video. For more context, I'd highly suggest you check out the Dr John Coleman's full 2 hour lecture.
