class workers incomes have been going down. we have got a systemic problem, a generational problem and we got to fix it or this country is not going to look like itself and this world is not going to look like itself 15 years from now. the problem you re talking about it s multifaceted and on several different levels. the dissolution of the labor movement in this country certainly has played a huge part in it. also something and your teddy roosevelt reference is not out of place here. when you think about it, when you look at the structure of our economy and when you look at the disparity and nwages and certainly the 1% versus the 99% or whatever, everybody says a lot of people say class war fare. i don t think so. one of the big points going forward that this president and the next president, i think, is going to have to focus on is lack of a better phrase, the development of a corporate
