DUers I just created a JPG for Facebook on income inequality. Let's go VIRAL!

This is a wonky subject but it goes to the core of why Trickle Down tax cuts are the wrong medicine. With Facebook we become the media. Right click on the image below, choose save as, and then upload this image as a status update on Facebook. On your own wall and the wall of libeal pages you like

you are missing out on due to cpaital screwing over labor.

The article, because there is a paywall yu have to google it to read it for free or signup for 7 free articles a month

"“We are the 99%”, the slogan of Occupy Wall Street, is a reference to the rising wealth of the top 1 per cent of US income distribution. But an equally valid slogan might be: “We get 58%”. That figure is the share of US national income that goes to workers as wages rather than to investors as profits and interest."

The only way the super rich get the money is by getting it from everyone else. It doesn't come out out of the blue.

"Viral content holds the Internet together -- that much is clear. But exactly how that content spreads isn't so cut and dry. Facebook teamed up with design firm Stamen and actor-turned-social-media-star George Takei to see, share by share, just how photos go viral. Here's how it worked: Takei shared a few photos on his Facebook page. Stamen took the shared data from his photos and converted it into a series of interactive graphics, which Facebook published this morning.

The graphics are two colors, one for each gender. Each streak, then, represents someone re-sharing an image. As each generation of shares ages, it fades to white to show the passage of time.

Here are the mapping images, they will blow your mind
