The Daily Kos has the story Why are people in America paid so poorly?.

The logic of the market is not to pay people what they deserve. It’s not to pay people what would make a better life for them. It’s to pay the absolute minimum that you can get away with.

Another good article that analyzes what is wrong and provides examples where it is better.  As expected, finding a viable solution is another matter entirely.

Thanks to Jane Switchenko for posting this on her Facebook page.

Talking Points Memo has the article Meet The Man At The Center Of The Unprecedented US-Israel Rift.

After having read the article, I still can’t decide whether or not it is worth reading.  It is a balanced article in the way that all “this side said, and that side said” articles are.  Not being able to predict the future, I’ll just have to be satisfied with seeing how this all plays out.
