by RichJuly 4, 2011I hate to break up all that wonderful 4th of July patriotism with this one, but this is something your bank account has been telling you for decades… The gap between America’s rich and poor is so extreme levels of inequality are worse in the land of the free than they are in many developing [...]

63 by RichJune 21, 2010The answer to the above question? Yes, and from the way BP has been bumbling this whole thing, I’m sure a few executives wouldn’t mind joining them right now. For all you animal lovers out there, I’ll preface this post by saying that I, too, love animals (a lot more than humans sometimes, but not [...]
