Social inequality is a large part of the world we live in today. Taking financial circumstances into account, it is easy to see the divide we have in society. Much this countries wealth resides in the hands of such a small percentage of the population. This has mostly occurred due to many generations of wealth being passed down to the next generation.
When wealth is passed own to a child of a wealthy person, that child has ahead start in achieving wealth. Another reason this may be caused is early saving practices. A wealthy family may be able to start a saving fund at the birth of a child, and therefore the child has accumulated a decent savings by the time they become independent. Without the need to spend every dollar earned the next generation is capable of obtaining more assets, such as a cars or homes. Each asset increases their personal worth.
Much of the lower class needs every dollar earned, what many of us know as “living paycheck to paycheck”. Many times there is only a small portion left for savings if any. In this manner there is typically not much wealth to be passed to the next generation. The children in these families usually have to work for everything much the way the parents did. On the bright side, many children in these circumstances may learn good saving practices with what little they obtain, which can sometimes offset the bad spending practices that become necessity in low income families.
This inequality could be easily offset if the government decided to offset the tax and return system in the country. if the wealthy were required to pay 10% more taxes while the poor were able to receive a 10% bonus to their returns this would begin to equalize over time, and would help offset the wealth passed among generations. Many believe a flat tax would benefit society as well. Having the entire country pay a flat rate percentage would mean that the same percentage would come from every dollar earned. In that scenario the wealthy would pay more only because they had more.

Now we know they went to far.. Despite assurances the the “cash for clunkers” program would rid the road of unruly gas guzzlers, the program flopped and ran out of money in about two months. Despite the lack of funds to carry out the program for intended time, the government program has been given a “bail-out” to keep it going. Senate approval of a House-passed measure would send a $2 billion extension of the program to the White House for the President’s signature. Does anyone doubt he will sign it?

The White House had warned that the program would likely have to be stopped early if the Senate didn’t quickly pass a bill transferring $2 billion to the program from an “economic stimulus account” that had been set aside for renewable energy programs. ( in preparation for “Cap and Trade” no doubt) The $2 billion addition would carry the program through September

Clyde is a blind border collie. What do you do when you need to get around? Get a good guide dog, and that’s what Clyde did.
After getting his own guide dog, a fellow collie named Bonnie, (No, I am not making this stuff up) Clyde is loving life. His new sidekick Bonnie will stay right next to him and guides him when they take a walk or helps him find his food or water,making Clyde as capable as any other dog.
Clyde even refuses to move unless Bonnie is nearby to guide him, so she will let him rest his head on her haunches whenever he becomes disorientated and guides him the right way. Who said its a dog eat dog world?

A Frenchmen was found dead in a cemetery…where he was apparently robbing from the headstones. Oh Yeah, Karma One, Lessons learned…er.. yeah well…not this time.
Doctors said the 54-year-old tombstone robber died from a heart attack in the summer heat as he chiseled religious symbols off a tombstone. Uh, you missed a spot .. I think we all can agree that was a bad idea to begin with..Police found a small ladder, hammer and chisel next to his body and other objects in his car.
Lets recap.. Robbing grave -1
Stealing religious symbols -1
Disturbing the Dead -1
Yeah well maybe we should just accept it for what it is..?

Think you could eat high quality Belgian chocolate everyday for a whole year? Yeah I thought so…
English Researchers at the University of East Anglia have teamed up with a hospital to test whether eating chocolate can actually reduce the risk of heart disease. They are conducting a study and are seeking 40 women under the age of 75 to participate.
The study will consist of eating two bars of specially made Belgian chocolates every day for a whole year, while the variables will eat regular chocolate to determine the outcome.
While this may sound like a dream study, let’s not forget its all being done in the name of science

Two self made Italian travelers found themselves in a boat load of trouble, well actually it was only a car load of trouble…after they turned their hot pink Maserati into a waterproof car boat to take out for a spin.
Marco Amoretti and Marcolino De Candia previously traveled from the Canary Islands across the Atlantic Ocean to Martinica in a converted Ford Taurus, but this time they didn’t get quite as far..The two left a port at Bocca di Magra and traveled about five miles before docking to take in some food. That’s when coastguard officials took over, fining the pair a couple hundred euros for not being properly liscenced or having the proper paperwork or safety equipment for a sailing boat. (even though it was a car, this still applies)
The fifty year old Amoretti was quoted as saying “We didn’t go very far and were just testing it to prepare for a trip around Italy. I was really surprised that the coastguard made such a big fuss.” That’s what the coast guard does man…

New York “showman” Robert Burck, more commonly known as “The Naked Cowboy” anounced plans tuesday to run for the Mayors office…and we mean the election type run. “No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly, and that’s the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me,” said Burck, and yes..he was underwear clad when he made the statement….
Now before you dismiss the idea, remember Ventura, Schwarzenegger, and even Mike Huckabee are all partial entertainers, and had the popular vote..? Nah.. this is nothing like those…The long time New York Entertainer said he would officially announce his bid for Mayor on his website…yeehaah!!

Yeah you could say some mistakes were made here…
Undercover police in Statesville arrested another undercover officer after they sold that officer drugs in an undercover operation..did you get all that? Thats right, one undercover county officer bought drugs from another undercover officer. The plice made a standard arrest after being told that the suspect was actually not an officer only to find out later that he actually was an officer.
The sheriff has since admitted there were many small operations going on at once and the intial denial was a complete mix up. The scenario has raised some issues with inter-department communication. Or at least it should…

Here’s another case of brilliance. A thief in North Dakota thought he would share a piece of his mind, leaving a note for the robbed car owner letting him know he had great taste in music. The thief made off with a drivers license and some other random items.
The owner of the car was relieved. Not only does he share musical interests with thief’s, but he he still has a car. Yeah,..Uhm Mr Thief..the keys were in the ignition. Nice job. The owners says he has learned a lesson though, so dont try to come back for it.

How do you ensure the safety of a very rare and endangered species? Do what Australia does, Hire snipers.
Marksmen from Sydney’s National Parks and Wildlife Service have gotten up in arms literally over recent attacks on endangered penguins. The attacks have been blamed on wild dogs or foxes, but officials say the flightless birds are too precious to risk, and are taking precautions to help ensure their safety.
Sydney’s North Head National Park is believed to be the only breeding grounds for these penguins, and snipers are being posted to patrol the area at night to reduce predator activity. They have also been cameras and traps set in a strong effort to stop the attacks.
