Warren Buffett: 'If There Was A Class War, My Class Won'

Thus quotes the incomparable Bill Moyers in "We are Living in the United States of Inequality," a gut-wrenching summary of the extremes of economic inequality now permitted... no, encouraged... in America.

Today's gap between rich and poor is arguably the worst ever in America. Goodness knows it's bad enough... and the number of people experiencing that gap is vast. Let Moyers tell you about it in under 15 minutes.

(Link points to a transcript and a Vimeo video of the summary. Moyers packs a powerful message in a very short segment. Found by several indirections beginning at Avedon's Sideshow.)
