Some Stats

2. Between 2004 and 2005 in the U.S. violent crimes rose by 2.5 % and the murder rate increased by 5%.

3. Only 3% of students at America's top colleges came from the bottom 25% (By S.E.S.) of the population.

4. Since 1980, income disparity has steadily decreased (oops I meant increased, as in the rich got richer, poor poorer). Oddly, during that same time the belief that you can start poor and become rich has risen by 20%.
