Not There Yet on Equal Opportunity
Keywords:
Galston cites a Federal Reserve Board of Chicago 2014 study showing setbacks for black people in achieving improvement in income status. Even for children born into middle income black families about 55% are expected to fall below middle income status compared to 36% for children of white middle income families. The problem is not just the gap as Galston points out but what it says for the declining income mobility for the white middle class when 36% are likely to see declining status and prospect for the future, and 23% will see no improvement. Overall it shows a lack of income and social mobility for whites and minorities alike compared to the past improvements since the 1960's, not a bright prospect and less hope for the future the way things are, and why so many of the establishment candidates and existing policies are being questioned by voters.

Black people and the Obama presidency
11/05/2008
A sense that incomes fell, job losses increased and foreclosures on homes increased for black people under the Obama presidency. The same is true for the white middle class and for other minorities. Suggesting that policies that improve the economy and conditions for all middle class and working class Americans is the best hope for all minorities.

Unemployment for minorities and young people in 2014- 11.7 for Black people, 7.8% for Hispanics and 11.3% for ages 18-24
07/09/2014
The huge disconnect between the official unemployment number of 6.1% from the Labor Department -which does not count people too discouraged and stopped looking for work- and the situation for minorities and young people. Combined with only small wage gains for the average worker this accounts for the lack of confidence in the economy of the average American in 2014 as reflected in the Gallup Economic Confidence Index.

Wealth gap in the U.S. between whites and minorities- devastating impact of the recession of 2008
01/05/2009
Hispanics and blacks counted housing equity as a much bigger part of their assets than whites. The recession and financial crisis of 2008 wiped out fully two thirds of the median net worth of Hispanic families and one half for Black families, with both groups having close to $6000 in total median net worth in 2010, according to data from Pew surveys.The recession has proved to be severe in its impact on minorities, and the election of a black president has done little to improve things- especially considering the dismal record of the Obama administration in helping prevent foreclosures.

03/24/2015
Workers who were once in the middle class are now lower class as conditions have changed in the automobile and other U.S. manufacturing plants. As more jobs are created in manufacturing than in IT related industries, this is a significant factor in improving U.S. employment and wages. There is an 86% increase in imports of parts from Mexico since 2008, over double for China.

The other roots of increasing inequality in the U.S.- global competition and sourcing, the case of the U.S. auto industry and manufacturing workers
03/24/2015
Auto parts imports into the U.S. from Mexico have increased by 86% since 2008, more than doubled for China. As wages rise in China, India is the next source country for low cost automobile parts from auto industry hubs in Gujarat and Tamilnadu, placing continuous downward pressure on manufacturing wages for the next decade, and the next. Parts imports were $32 billion in 1990, $138 billion in 2014. Workers in manufacturing make as low as $10 an hour today, similar to workers at Wal-Mart. An entire generation of manufacturing workers are now shifted from middle class to lower class from their parents generation to their own, reducing educational mobility in the American system and fewer opportunities for improvement. As more jobs are created in manufacturing than in IT related industries this is a significant hurdle for improving wages and employment in the U.S.

Tax Policy Center research that shows $157 billion generated from increasing taxes on the over 1 million income earners in the top 1% in the U.S.
10/16/2015
The top 1% earn about $2.1 million on average and are considered to be the largest beneficiaries of tax and economic policy of recent decades, just as global competition severely hurt wages of factory workers. A Tax Policy Center (Brookings Institution and Urban Institute backed) study shows that increasing taxes on the 1.13 million households in the top 1% from a federal rate of 33.4% currently to 40% would generate $157 billion, enough to provide for tution free educaton in colleges and universities in the U.S., finance spending on infrastructure, and provide assistance to the middle class for high health premiums. Public opinion in the U.S. favors higher taxes for the top 1% to pay for programs that increase opportunity for the middle class and workers with low incomes. Education is a great leveler of income disparities over time, one of the reasons the U.S. offered tution free education to returning veterans after World War II. Incomes for people in this income group of the top 1% would still be about $1 million a year after the tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center.

In Britain Corbyn's election to the leadership of the Labor Party with all other candidates doing poorly, is also creating a focus on economic issues and better access to education and jobs.

A sense that the earlier dedication to helping Roseland and places like it that need a special kind of help is missing from the President. Obama's advisers speak of inclusiveness and helping all minorities and the working class, yet while the stimulus helped the economy after the financial crisis, the lack of help to millions of homeowners facing foreclosure worsened the situation for minorities and the struggling middle class.

U.S. racial riots in Baltimore, Maryland, in April 2015
04/28/2015
A city with many black officials in government, and with Democratic party Governor O'Malley in Maryland, sees widespread racial rioting in 2015. The decline in good manufacturing jobs, drug use and abandoned homes, all play a part in the sense of hopelessness in the city. Compared to Ferguson, Missouri, the problems in Baltimore come less in poor white-black relationships, and more from economic decline, a failing school system and crime.

And what does that mean for consumption? Does it prolong the downturn with demand slow to pick up? What does it mean for exports from China?

The Great Stagnation in American Education
New York Times 09/07/2013
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
