Cracks in the Establishment

The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep getting poorer. And the middle class is getting poorer too.

I feel that the gap between the rich and the poor is becoming so large it's reaching a breaking point. After the recent bailout, more people are becoming aware of the division between the ruling/elite class in power (probably 1-2%) and the vast majority of people (probably 98-99%). We see ourselves at the mercy of government officials and corporate executives who, for the most part, show no regard for us.

The feeling of injustice is brewing in this country. The old institutions, structures, and bureaucracies are starting not to work; they will soon be obsolete. What emerges to replace them is up to us.
