More on income inequality

Fierce Planet Posted on September 15, 2010 by jnfrSeptember 28, 2010

Annie Lowrey at the Washington Independent points us to a report on income inequality from the Senate’s Joint Economic Committee. She highlights several graphs and conclusions that show the remarkable way that the wealthy have become even more so over the past decade, while middle class and working incomes have stagnated or declined.

Fierce Planet Posted on February 9, 2008 by jnfrFebruary 9, 2008

To the writers. This was sent early this morning to membership. The delay in publishing the deal points, we’ve learned, was because the companies dragged their feet enshrining some of the final details in an attempt to renege on some of what they had promised. The last-minute fight to keep that from happening took until late last night. Letter From The Presidents With Deal Summary To Our Fellow Members, We have a tentative deal.
