Sometimes I just feel like remembering why I blog at DWT. And in the end, it always comes down to economic inequality and how it’s one of the most pressing and divisive issues facing our country. Imagine a nation, our nation, where the top 1% possess more wealth than the bottom 90% combined— a nation, our nation, where the gap between the haves and the have-nots widens with each passing year.
