Egads, Madame Meme. Is that the sound of hair growing on your lovely, "White Shoulders", I hear and why do you reek with the odor of testosterone? <G>

Oh pee-shaw Meme. I'd get bundled up were I you since Hell is surely freezing over when I admit defeat. I was just trying to get the little WEAC turtle to peek out of his shell and open up a dialogue. But, alas, there he remains... upturned and slowly dying in the fullness of the afternoon sun.
Regarding your CNN puff piece. Here, from the copious mouth of Robert B. Reich himself:
Labor secretary Robert B. Reich said in a speech recently that the US economy has entered a period of healthy expansion but an expansion occurring “at the expense of the workers propelling it”.
Reich said that “ominous forces” have physically divided the country, leaving an “overclass” in the safety of the elite suburbs, an “underclass quarantined in surroundings that are unspeakably bleak, and often violent” and a new “anxious class” trapped “in the frenzy of effort it takes to preserve their standing” as more and more families try to patch together two and sometimes more pay cheques to meet their basic needs. Reich went on to describe widening gaps in income, health care and pensions, which he said are spurring the “disintegration” of the middle class.
