Notes on Power

What happened to fairness and the middle class

* Why aren't unions a "thing" anymore?
     * unions are bad and only protect the worst workers
     * actual corruption of some union structures
     * labor laws changed - (check "The Rich Dont always Win)
     * right to work states
* The Matthew Effect
* Neo-liberal view of economics
* Offshoring
* Income tax rates structure and changes over the last 60 years
* de-regulation - or more to the point - writing the laws for business and against consumers
* socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor
