A recent survey showed that middle-income neighborhoods have been disappearing (down 34% in three decades). We are talking aboutneighborhoods in cities and suburbs with working-class homes and incomes less than about $100,000. There are not many such homes remaining. The people have either moved to urban slums, or a few have been lucky enough to escape to walled communities. But the point is simply that economic chains have been tightened around average Americans, thus slowly but surely pushing them in a downward spiral rather than in an upwardly mobile direction. Meanwhile executives of corporations are given government approval, such as Freddy Mac's, as when sitting in front of congress saying they may have made millions in their jobs and deserve it. Astoundingly many of these executives could not remember precisely how much they made, when they made it, and so on.  Even congressmen--who, by the way, are morewealthy than ever--were rather disbelieving. One said, "I think I would  remember the year I became a millionaire." So what do we conclude from this? Is it that in order to become a highly-paid executive in the financial business you have to be stupid? Or is it that you have to be willing to avoid, obfuscate, and dodge any accountability to the public?

A  defiant Herman Cain  at campaign stop in Ohio reassure  hundreds supporters that he would not be getting out of the race for the Republican nomination, saying, “The American people are going to raise some Cain in 2012!”

Over a roar of approval from the crowd, he added: “They want you to believe that we can’t do this. They want you to believe that with enough character assassination on me, I will drop out!”

There were  loud shouts of “No!” from the audience.“Well, the American people have a different idea,the Herman Cain said.

“With this latest one, we have to do an assessment,as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth.”

Charles Darwin saw so clearly, unbridled competition doesn't always promote the common good. It's not how fast or how strong you are that matters, but whether you're faster or stronger than your closest rivals.   In recent years, large retail chains have been competing to be the first to open their doors on Black Friday. The race is driven by the theory that stores with the earliest start time capture the most buyers and make the most sales. For many years, stores opened at a reasonable hour. Then, some started opening at 5 a.m., prompting complaints from employees about having to go to sleep early on Thanksgiving and miss out on time with their families. But retailers ignored those complaints, because their earlier start time proved so successful in luring customers away from rival outlets. Those rivals, of course, didn't sit idly by. Their inevitable response was to open earlier themselves, restoring competitive balance.  Robert H. Frank "How to End the Black Friday Madness"

Target decision to open stores at midnight on Black Friday. Launched by Anthony Hardwick, a Target employee in Omaha, the online petition via Change.org attracted more than 190,000 signatures.

The latest WMUR/UNH poll among likely New Hampshire Primary voters shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney continuing to dominate the race, while former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich surges into second place.

Romney received 42 percent support, his highest number in the survey since February 2010. The real story might be Gingrich, who in a month’s time, went from being tied for sixth place to second place with 15 percent. That’s a gain of 9 points.
