1. Where the jobs went.
Outsourcing (or offshoring) is a bigger contributor to unemployment in the U.S. than laziness.
Since 2000, U.S. multinationals have cut 2.9 million jobs here while
increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million. This is likely just the
tip of the iceberg as multinational corporations account for only about
20 percent of the labor force.
2. Upward wealth redistribution and/or inequality.
In 2010, 20 percent of the people held approximately 88 percent of
the net worth in the U.S. The top one percent alone held 35 percent of
all net worth.
The bottom 80 percent of people held only 12 percent of net worth in
2010. In 1983, the bottom 80 percent held 18 percent of net worth.
These statistics are not Democrat or Republican. They are widely available to reporters. Why aren't they discussed in the "liberal" media?
