America's rich are trapped

The author said that the Americans their rich and classified into two groups: the first group eligible, such as those who have made outstanding technical achievements and other institutions ran successful or proficient in certain functions, such as the judiciary and the entertainment and sports, some states, for example the success of Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey. The second group is eligible, and they are the rich who have succeeded thanks to the work do not have great social value.
He explained that what is happening now is that most of the rich are classified in the category of non-eligible and receive a reprimand by the financial crisis, and during the financial boom in the nineties of the last century, a survey conducted by Harris that Americans look to the community of Wall Street that they are honest and Okhalagiwn more than others, but today did not left only 26% hold this view, while two-thirds of respondents say that the more successful on Wall Street are paid very high.
And confirmed by the existence of three varieties of varying financial in America, the former represents the phase of the staggering increase from 1945 to late 1970, where as much as economists Emmanuel Saez and PICTI Thomas that the richest 10% of Americans GRIP between 33 and 35% of the total income, including gains capital (most of the dividends). By 2007, the share increased to 50%, and most of the gains went to 1% of the rich only, where the share of this group of about 10% in 1980 to 24% in 2007.
The second class says writer, it's about the phenomenon of global, as according to a study conducted in 2008 found the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development that inequality increased in 17 out of 22 countries over two decades, despite the fact that conditions vary greatly from one country to another.
In the third class by talking about taxes, he says, most of the rich in America does not survive the tax, in 2007 the richest 10% pay of the rich 55% of federal taxes, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office. And pay the richest 1% of the rich is the lion's share of 28.1% of these taxes. The average tax rate on the richest 1% of the rich is 29.5%.

The author said there are many theories about the cause of increasing inequality, he said that although there is no consensus in the new techniques reward the highly skilled,and globalization reduce the salaries of factory workers, and the erosion of union powerleads to the same result.

He said that whatever the cause, the inequality is a new political rift. Just last week,suggested that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the imposition of additional tax value of 5.6% for those who are making over a million dollars to pay for the program of President Barack Obama's positions, estimated at $ 447 billion, and this is easy,Fddhm few is about 534 thousand people according to the Center tax policy, and theyare unpopular and increasingly unable to pay this tax.

And concluded by the end of his article that the backlash against the rich is the beginning, not the end, he wondered: Do I have to punish the rich on their success orask them to pay a fair contribution? If the tax hike, will be maintained on the hardapproach to the best investment incentives, work and risk? Does criticism of Obama for the rich just talk or is it a political program? And answered, "What is certain is that the rich are trapped and intensified attacks on them certainly."

Legend of forgery of the U.S. elections

New York Times wrote in an editorial that this year was a record year for new legislation aims to make it more difficult for the Democrats. According to a new study of the Brennan Center for Justice, 19 are two things legally and executives in 14 states dominated by Republicans. As a result, there are more than five million voters will find more difficult to participate in the U.S. elections in 2012.
The newspaper commented that the Republicans who pass these laws do not recognize the real never their goal is not to alienate the people from the polls is likely to vote for the Democrats, particularly the young and the poor, the elderly and minorities. And insist that laws that require government ID cards to vote is only to protect the sanctity of the polling of voters unscrupulous. The reduction of early voting, which was popular among workers who often can not afford to miss work on election day, will save money as they claim.
The newspaper said that none of these explanations is true, then there is hardly a vote fraud in America. Not one of the deputies claimed that he was able ever to document any of the isolated cases. The only reason that makes the Republicans pass these laws is to give themselves a political edge to the suppression of Democratic votes.
The most common obstacle was asked to achieve an identity in the polls, which is a departure from the practice adopted long ago to use a signature achievement of the identity of voters or household bill such as a service. Has passed the seven states this year, laws requiring identification cards to vote, and there are similar measures have been applied in 27 other states. There are more than 21 million people -11% of the population - have no government identification cards, and many of them poor, elderly or black or Hispanic, and can they encounter great difficulty in passing the bureaucracy to get the card.
The newspaper considered that some of the desperate attempts of Republicans to prevent university students from voting are almost laughable in its support partisan transparent, there is no identity card university in the state of Wisconsin to meet the stringent requirements of the new state, then the Election Commission has proposed to add the college stickers to the cards with expiration dates and signatures. House Republicans protested that the Almsalqat will lead to electoral fraud is yes.
The newspaper concluded that other states began to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote or to find other means to increase the difficulty of it in the registry. And cutting back some programs that allow early voting or impose new restrictions on the retarded for the audience to vote, warning that early voting was common among black voters who support Barack Obama in 2008. In all cases they are abusing the trust placed in them twisting mechanism to achieve the goals of the Democratic party.

The researchers used were made by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the American Cancer Society to examine recent trends for the incidence of liver cancer in 32 cancer registries in different parts of the world, during the period between 1993 and 2002.

According to the results, only the high incidence of liver cancer, largely on the economically developed countries, one of the least dangerous to the spread of the disease, such as Western Europe and North America and Oceania.
The researchers attributed this rise - in part - to the increase in cases of hepatitis "C" due to chronic lack of screening donated blood and the use of contaminated needles for medical purposes, and the widespread injecting drug use in the past decades.
On the other hand the study showed that the incidence of liver cancer in both sexes declined in five of the records of the cancer - three of them in Asia - although these rates remain high for the equivalent of about three to four times what is being observed in areas that have low risk factors.
