Systematically Impoverished: How Wall St. and Washington Hurts the Middle Class

Gradually rising corporate prices the last 20 years together with shareholders and Washington DC's compliance have systematically impoverished the Middle Class who are the ones now 'left behind'. We live in a society where the Top 20% own over 80% of all wealth. Gas prices, rents, cars, food,cell phones, cable tv, go up every year while American wages have been literally flat since 1970. People forget that our government is a business too.
