The American worker's share of the national income has sunk to a record low. My Paliative for the day, that is an alleviator, a remedy that alleviates pain without curing : Just register as many New Voters as possible to reelect President Obama

.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released data indicating that the American worker's share of the national income has sunk to a record low. The workers' share has "plummeted" -- You can look at the charts on the subject, prepared by the St. Louis Fed, in case that you like "Horror Movies".

I understand this as a big concentration of Wealth and Power in few hands, while most people will be forced to work more hours with fewer and fewer earnings and benefits.

Democracy flourishes where Wealth is evenly distributed and where humans can enjoy the benefits of the planet including these : Having Employment, Education and Health for their Children and Family, and some spare time.

But the trends that I see in the Fed's chart indicate exactly the contrary development. Most Americans are less powerful than their parents were once.

I see the Republican Plans for the Economy as Recipes for a horrible disaster .... Is there any solution to this predicament ??


My Palliative for the day, that is an alleviator, a remedy that alleviates pain without curing.

All Democrats should help and try to register friends, acquaintances, etc ... as New Voters ... or give money for that purpose.

There are 8 ( eight ) million Latinos that are eligible as New Voters for Registration. If you just register only a good share of that number then the reelection of President Obama is assured.

There are of course many other Minorities, White Youngsters and other Whites than can be registered as New Voters.

It is usually the Poor or Disadvantaged that are unregistered and Republicans are doing their best effort to avoid registration of new voters. How ??? ... they are using their power in State Legislatures to hamper all efforts at registration of New Voters.

So that is my Palliative or Alleviator, to moderate pain, but a big work will be necessary to remedy this malady of concentration of wealth in few hands.

Someone has called this sickness "The Reagan Legacy" ... The total failure of "Trickle Down Economics" ...
