Early Bird Special: The most catchy remix of the denouement scene from Mel Stuart’s 1971 musical film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory you’ll see today, guaranteed.

Robert Reich: The Limping Middle Class

The economy won’t really bounce back until America’s surge toward inequality is reversed. Even if by some miracle President Obama gets support for a second big stimulus while Ben S. Bernanke’s Fed keeps interest rates near zero, neither will do the trick without a middle class capable of spending. Pump-priming works only when a well contains enough water.

Look back over the last hundred years and you’ll see the pattern. During periods when the very rich took home a much smaller proportion of total income — as in the Great Prosperity between 1947 and 1977 — the nation as a whole grew faster and median wages surged. We created a virtuous cycle in which an ever growing middle class had the ability to consume more goods and services, which created more and better jobs, thereby stoking demand. The rising tide did in fact lift all boats.

During periods when the very rich took home a larger proportion — as between 1918 and 1933, and in the Great Regression from 1981 to the present day — growth slowed, median wages stagnated and we suffered giant downturns. It’s no mere coincidence that over the last century the top earners’ share of the nation’s total income peaked in 1928 and 2007 — the two years just preceding the biggest downturns.

Read on.

Worth the read.

I echo the fact that this is a worthwhile read.

theuntucked:

“[If] you’ve got talent, you don’t have to rub it in my face by taking your clothes off. Now, of course, I tease, too, because everybody says I’ve got beautiful legs. I tease my men with that, and I think it’s fun, but I wouldn’t go any further than that, like ripping off my clothes or showing much more than the audience would feel comfortable with. Now I’m not dealing with the right or wrong of it, but I don’t think it’s necessary.You know, you don’t have to be flaunting in order to be haunting.”

beautiful :-)

riverlust:

A river is only the surrendered heart of a million tiny beads of rain. A river yearns and is yearned for. A river reaches out and is reached out for. A river desires, and is desired in its turn.
