Because of the recent (last 20 years) disparity between the rich and poor it appears to me that we need to move that number down a few notches. Don't worry, you'll still be able to hate people who don't look like you and you can still watch your fox news and listen to them tell you how the world will end if a democrat is elected. The difference would be that we have more programs designed to level the playing field so children who had the misfortune of being born to poor parents can have a greater chance of achieving the American Dream.

And yes, you are a bigot. But you knew that didn't you?
