Adam Turl examines the lives of the 10 richest people in the U.S.—and uncovers a rogue’s gallery of serial polluters, budget-slashers, CIA contractors, union-busters and right-wing nuts, concluding that we live in a society of obscene inequality! Could this account for the alleged swing to the left by the majority of American people - according to a recent report?

Newsweek wanted to reassure the rich—and convince working people—that the masses weren’t getting ready to dust off their pitchforks and head to the town square. "Americans might get angry sometimes," they wrote, "but we don’t hate the rich. We prefer to laugh at them."

Newsweek couldn’t be more wrong. The 10 percent of Americans who rely on food stamps, the 25 percent of Ohioans who are waiting in lines at food banks, the 500,000 people who lost their jobs last month and the millions more who can’t find work—these people aren’t laughing.
