One In Five

 

We can't afford to stop talking about wealth inequality in our country.  The divide grows wider all the time, and suffering deepens.  A gift we might give ourselves and others is to keep the issue alive and work to change what we can.  I will advocate for reversing Citizens United and work for more restrictive campaign finance laws.  That would be a start at getting to the underbelly of the beast.  Meanwhile, we can speak up and call people out when we hear hateful terms like "welfare queens" or statements that translate to "Poor people are lazy people." What else can we do?  Please leave your thoughts and ideas in a comment.  Solving this shameful problem will take a village—at least.
