Yes you do need money making money as it drives capitalism but the balance between earned and unearned has skewed badly. Share holder value has rocketed by moving manufacturing out of country eliminating earned income here but maximizing shareholder holder value. Look at what is going on with market now during worst natural disaster this country has ever seen. Salivating over a tax cut that will produce very few good paying jobs and deficiet spending but give a big boost to unearned income. We will be seeing a very hard landing, I believe sooner then later. IMHO.

It's more gratifying to kick around a scapegoat than address the real problem of which there is no solution. The powers that be will do what they do and force a deflection to race as the primary cause. Only a revolution on the magnitude of 1917 will force real change. But alas, the sheeple have their toys to pacify themselves and nothing will change for the better.
