Inequality in America

If you can't watch Al Jazeera English, demand your cable or satellite company carry it - public demand working to get Al Jazeera carried by TimeWarner cable in New York City.

Al Jazeera English posted this documentary (Wednesday) about wealth inequality in America. The highlight of the clip above is Congressman Paul Ryan being asked if his budget plan isn't undemocratic because the majority of Americans don't like it. He bolts from the reporter and tells her, her question is "rude."

Al Jazeera English does some good work. The piece also features economist Jeffrey Sachs stating flatly, "The rich not only became richer they became politically more powerful."
