In 1929, America was prosperous. There were jobs for all who wanted them.

Then, a Republican president presided over a Wall Street 'bubble'. Regulation was lax. The rich did what they wanted.

Then, the bubble burst, and the market collapsed.

The result was widespread poverty, huge monetary losses, and mass unemployment.

It took a Democrat president to fix the mess the Republicans made. It took a long time. The Republicans called the president a Socialist and fought to keep America weak.

Anyone who wants to understand the enduring nature of Occupy Wall Street and similar protests across the country need only look at the first official data on 2010 paychecks.


There were fewer jobs and they paid less last year, except at the very top where, the number of people making more than $1 million increased by 20 percent over 2009.


The median paycheck — half made more, half less — fell again in 2010, down 1.2 percent to $26,364.


That works out to $507 a week, the lowest level, after adjusting for inflation, since 1999.


The number of Americans with any work fell again last year, down by more than a half million from 2009 to less than 150.4 million.


More significantly, the number of people with any work has fallen by 5.2 million since 2007, when the worst recession since the Great Depression began, with a massive taxpayer bailout of Wall Street following in late 2008.
