Today’s Thought “Indigenously Awkward” G. Ward

“I sent a plague among you after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men by the sword along with your captured horses, And I made the stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the Lord. “I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,

The top 1% of wealthy Americans have amassed so much wealth nationally that it spurs great inequality, stagnating  income growth potential for many like you and me.
