Do you like those overpaid moguls and do you feel sympathy for the poor?
Who cares about income gap? CNN
The gap between rich and poor is widening, but who cares?
CNN's Jim Boulden reports about one surprising study.
Income Gap - click here - you may need to wait for the second run, but this one was OK.
What is your opinion on these things?

Good video.
I've traveled to the Philippines before, and have had the privilege of experiencing both the poorer and wealthier sides of the country. The difference is tremendous.
And "being rich" can also be dependent on perspective. I consider myself quite poor in comparison to upper class Australia, but to those in the Philippines who live on train tracks, I'm incredibly wealthy. The fact that I can use the Internet, let alone a computer makes me incredibly fortunate. So I guess, not only is there a national income gap, but a global gap.
Yes, I very much care about this gap.

The wealthier just get greedier and greedier, and, as you suggest, the poor in Australia are relatively wealthy compared with many overseas. So much for the level playing field we are supposed to be creating, it just seems to support more greed.
Yours was a thoughtful and caring comment and your points about computers were well made.
I was delighted to have your visit.

I am really concerned about the widening income gap. I worked with the poor for many years and it is a very troubling trend.

It's a wonder you didn't meet me there [just kidding].
It's an indictment against humanity, isn't it.

This was a great comment. It is certainly good to have first hand knowledge of what is going on overseas.
They blame the poor for being poor, that is just so unjust.
katyzzz....thanks for your visit.
