  9. The US inequality soaring to unprecedented heights as mr Chomsky says is true . but the far right is only one part of the problem , and a small part at that. .
    the reason for the soar in inequality is the status qou of the dem-repub bulk of power and real politik that must be stopped dead !
    the only way to do that is to once and for all stop voting the 2 party system , and let them sink . then we can start from scratch with candidates that will know that the public means business.
