One theme President Obama's State of the Union Address will cover tonight is income inequality. That widening chasm between the wealthy and middle-class: a divide that has been a boon to nation's top earners, and bust for everyone else.
Since 2007, the 1 percent captured 95 percent of the income gains. They earn a median salary of $1.2 million per year, and have an average net worth of $16.4 million. The middle class saw only a 20 percent growth in their incomes. Their 2013 median income was $53,000, but their net worth dropped from a high of $75,000 in 1983 to $55,000 today."

De Blasio flexes progressive muscle in stop-and-frisk case | MSNBC We finally have civilized man as NYC Mayor! "New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, sticking to a campaign promise to chip away at New York City’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy, announced on Thursday that the city has filed paperwork to drop the city’s appeal to a federal judge’s ruling that the city had violated the constitutional rights of innocent minorities.
The announcement could be the first steps in reforming the much maligned tactic.
“This is a defining moment in our history. It’s a defining moment for millions of our families, especially those with young men of color,” Mayor de Blasio said during a news conference in Brownsville, Brooklyn, the epicenter of the tactic. “And it will lay the foundation for not only keeping us the safest big city in America, but making us safer still. This will be one city, where everyone’s rights are respected, and where police and community stand together to confront violence.”
A Lesson For Georgia Government on How a Snowstorm Should be handled. This storm occurred January 3, 2014.
This is how a competent city handles 4 - 6 inches of snow. This occurred January 3, 2014. This is two owners after the snow stopped. I as able to travel by car from the Bronx over the White Stone suspension bridge through on the highway at 60mph, fully plowed and salted and reach LA Guardia airport in 30 minutes.
This is how it is done. Two hours after the storm ended my son and I crossed the Whitestone bridge and traveled by highway, at the speed limit to LA Guardia Airport. Travel was no different than any other day.

The pace of expansion in October, November and December slowed a bit from the third quarter, when the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent."

Atlanta Officials Gamble on Storm and Lose, and Others Pay the Price - NYTimes.com, Atlanta area getting deserved national attention for it's incompetent handling of three inches of light snow.
Republicans hate government so much that they cannot run them.
The Republican run State of Georgia Government is so incompetent that it cannot handle three inches of predicted light snow stranding many people like myself on the roads over 17 hours and counting.
Three inches is considered by meteorologists to be light snow. There is no excuse for not sanding or putting salt on major highways and thoroughfares. This is incompetence and the blame must start at the top with Governor Deal. This is a disgrace.
