Filthy Rich & the Scraps
As I was reading my latest “mystery” , it struck me, that so many in the Art’s are talking about our State of Inequality and corruption. We don’t have to search out “obscure” web publications, the folks in Media, get it. They understand the plight of the Middle Class and the decent folks who make up our World. Read, watch and enjoy their latest offerings. Under an entertaining facade, there’s a message. Money corrupts. Getting out of our “State of Inequality” and corruption is our moral obligation.
I’ve listed the most entertaining Films and books I’ve read recently, along with proven websites tackling Finance Reform, Voting Rights issues, etc. Have a great day!

The obvious is now obvious to everyone, except those still dancing to the old music. . When the music stops this time, they’ll be surprised! This time is different, no bail out of the Banks and Bank like entities, by the public. Amen, Ah woman!
