UN Leader Says World Becoming Increasingly Unequal

Amen to that, Kofi Annan. But I also suspect that's been the express mission of people like George Bush and those who move him, by a large continent of the G8 countries, of the IMF and the World Bank.

These folks don't seek equality of people. They want the rich to become richer, the powerful even moreso, and the poor even less able to affect change.

My evidence? Bush cutting out funds around the world except for "anti-terrorism" (read actions against the poor who rise up) and "oil research" while diminishing the public school system, remaking America into a system of jobs that barely - if at all - pay living wages and permit health care. And that's just the start of a heapload of evidence.
