Wealth Inequality in America

[Halcyon]

I am afraid I have to close this thread guys. It is discussing current affairs and therefore breaks the forum rules;

Highly Controversial Topics
These conversations tend to lead to violent outbursts based on strong personal beliefs. Posts which contain political commentary, religious or other highly controversial topics will be removed and action will be taken depending on the severity. These topics may (but are not limited to) contain beliefs/opinions on religion, political subject matter (i.e., new governmental laws, candidates, etc.), abortion, se*ual orientation and/or highly controversial current events.

I'm going to move this to the Debates forum and reopen it for your debating pleasure.

Yes, because I'm talking about the price of DVDs and not the price of food, and basic goods like that.
