There's a video going around, Wealth Inequality in America.
It reminds me of a sermon I heard at the UU church in Lafayette, Indiana, when I was an undergrad. The co-speakers were talking about poverty. There's this persistent myth, that people are poor because they're lazy. The women pointed out that the poor are working their hineys off just trying to get by.
That fit, with what I saw in my senior year of high school, when my parents were working three jobs each. Dad had a full-time day job, a part-time afternoon job, and then a part-time evening job. Mom's schedule was very similar.
