WILSON: What U.S. could do to improve conditions for average guy

By George Wilson | Globalization and technological changes have worked to eliminate good paying manufacturing jobs in America. Among ordinary men and women this has had a profound change in their lives. Many have tried to adjust by taking the time to get more education and to be retrained; even going into debt with student loans. Many others have taken multiple low paying jobs. What we see is profits at record levels and the rich getting richer. American families face financial hardships at a time “when the average CEO makes about 300 times what the average worker makes.”

ANOTHER VIEW: Continued GOP manipulation threatens Southern men

By George Wilson | W.J. Cash’s The Mind of the South, first published in 1941, is a brilliant examination of how the Southern elite, even with slavery no longer possible, managed to extend the same economic and political philosophy and system to their own benefit for 100 years, using Jim Crow.

When I see the Confederate flags waved today, I always think about the social unfairness that existed in the South during the Civil War. Here are a few examples.
