Economic Inequality is the result of the transfer of wealth. Unfortunately, the ONLY way US media presents transfer of wealth is exclusively one direction, from higher economic classes to lower economic classes. Is that THE fact? NO: Economic Inequality was institutionalized in our Constitution from day one and wealth today is the result of that fact. 1619 to 1787 = 168 YEARS before our Constitution FAILED to recognize African American Human and Civil Rights. 1619 to 1863 = 244 years total from the time that African Americans were brought to this continent as slaves, and used to produce profits that they did not share in, profits that POLITICALLY went into keeping them slaves, until the Emancipation Proclamation. 1787 to 1920 = 133 years before women took the right to vote in matters that directly affected their economic fate. 1787 to TODAY = 227 years and an individual persons RIGHT TO ORGANIZE with other individual persons for their economic equality is still DISCRIMINATED against by Corporate Personhood guaranteed by our Constitution.
