| Monday's TestingTesting was only possible because our new mixing board thanks to the contributions of our TT listeners. We had Shiver, a 3 piece rock band from the north end of the Island, who showed up with an extra keyboard player. No problem with this mixing board. The sound is much better now and it's so much easier to mix than using the mic mixers we had.
Rich America, Unfair America
by Robert Jensen
From the late 1980s to the late 1990s, the average income of the lowest-income families grew by less than 1 percent, while that of middle-income families grew by less than 2 percent. But for high-income families, the growth was 15 percent, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute.
One of the economists who helped write that report calls the unequal distribution of wealth from the recent prosperity "our nation's most serious economic problem," pointing to evidence that societies with higher levels of inequality grow more slowly. Our government's only response has been to push massive tax cuts that mostly benefit the rich.
The economy that produces the grotesque level of inequality is dominated by huge corporations that internally are structured like tyrannies-power concentrated at the top, hierarchal management systems, and no freedom for employees at the bottom, except the "freedom" to leave to find a job in some equally tyrannical competitor.
Too many people equate Capatilism with Democracy. They are not the same. Capitalism, creating large corporations, is destroying democracy.
