The Translucent View

As a writer, I love to talk about myself. It is not just because it is my favorite topic and I am very narcissistic (which are definitely contributing factors), but it is also because whenever we talk about ourselves, or give our own lives as an example, we are standing on fairly firm ground.  When […]

This just in: a report published last week by UC Berkley analyzes IRS statistics for 2012 and shows that the gap between the rich and the poor in America keeps widening.
