Economic Equality Rich Democrats and Republicans Dont Care

Economic Equality Rich Democrats and Republicans Don't Care The Democratic party might be know for promoting income equality, but according to a new study, its rich elites don’t care about it any more than Republicans. Professors from U.C. Berkeley, Boston University, Yale Law School, and University of Maryland-College Park recently set up an experiment to test how groups with varying levels of “elite” status in society would distribute wealth. There were three different groups involved in the studyâ€"one representing average Americans (roughly 50/50 Republicans and Democrats), a group of “intermediate elite” University of California-Berkeley undergrads, and a group of Yale Law students, assumed to be in particularly high positions of wealth and influence in the future. The results of the study were summed up by two of its authors in a Slate post, when they wrote: Regardless of party, the elite donors whose money dominates politics, and the elite officeholders whose decisions set policy, don’t value economic equality. The researchers came to this conclusion after a series of experiments in which participants were asked to divide money between themselves and an anonymous person in order to gauge selfishness. A second element to the study was added due to the fact that it wasn’t always free to give money. In some cases, giving was cheap â€" for every $1 sacrificed, $10 went to the anonymous beneficiary. In other cases, it was expensive to give. Giving away $1 only meant that the other person received a measly 10 cents. To make the experiments more realistic, the wealth redistribution was real, and participants were paid out at the end of the study based on their decisions. The findings were very clear: The two pools representing the elite groups â€" who identified 10 to 1 as Democrats â€" strongly stood together as twice as likely to be selfish in comparison to the pool representing the bipartisan majority of the American public. Additionally, they favored efficiency over equality significantly, meaning that they gave significantly more when doing so benefited the anonymous other person more greatly, and their generosity shrunk when giving meant little benefit for the other person. “The American elite overwhelmingly dominates both campaign finance and political lobbying, and American policymakers themselves come overwhelmingly from elite circles,” two of the professors involved in the study wrote in Slate. And what do these findings mean for politics and the likelihood of legislation to tackle income inequality in America? “[The results] suggest that the policy response to rising economic inequality lags so far behind the preferences of ordinary Americans for the simple reason that the elites who make policyâ€"regardless of political partyâ€"just don’t care much about equality.” Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time  0:00/Duration  0:00Loaded: 0%Stream Type  LIVESeek to live, currently playing liveLIVERemaining Time  -0:00  Playback Rate1xChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions and subtitles off, selectedAudio TrackFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

Career In Progress I Wont Give Up My Dream! - Work It Daily

Career In Progress I Wont Give Up My Dream! - Work It Daily By Amanda Ernst I moved to New York after college for one reason: to work as a magazine writer. But three years and three jobs later, I found myself working at a dying magazine in a dying industry. In November, that magazine folded, and I’ve been collecting unemployment ever since. Truthfully, I had been worrying about my job for months before the ax dropped. It was no secret that the media industry was faltering, and I was reading news stories every day about people just like me getting laid off at other magazines. On the day that I was laid off, I mourned the loss of the magazine more than the loss of my own job. Then the reality of unemployment set in and I started to feel like a failure. I questioned my career choices. I had worked my way up from an editorial assistant to a reporter and finally landed as a market editor at a men’s fashion magazine â€" a dream job. When I lost that job it felt like I would have to start at the bottom again. I wondered, was it worth it? Eventually, I decided that I hadn’t gone to journalism school and worked my butt off since then to give up now. I resolved to find a new dream job, no matter how long it took. Finding three different jobs in three years has made me pretty good at navigating online job boards like mediabistro.com, a Web site that features jobs in media, advertising and public relations. But ever since scoring my first job out of college, I had always been on the hunt while already employed and relying on job postings was good enough to get me a gig. Now that I was unemployed I learned that my old method was less effective because magazines and their jobs were disappearing. This job search would have to be different, but I worried that if I ever stopped searching I would never find another job in magazines again. Although I had never had to do it before, I knew that networking was my best option for finding a new job. At first, I was reluctant to broadcast my unemployed status. But when I started telling close friends and family and updating my profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn, I was surprised by how many people were going through the same thing. I started to build a group of fellow unemployed workers, starting with my former co-workers and adding friends from college and high school as well as friends of friends. One of my father’s cousins, who found me on LinkedIn, suggested that I speak with his wife about networking with her connections. A few weeks later, she was also let go. I added her to my growing list of unemployed contacts. What has also surprised me during my unemployment has been the willingness of people like my father’s cousin who have offered to help me. Friends who I haven’t spoken to in years will send me notes on Facebook, suggesting that I send my resume to this person or apply for this job. They offer to give my resume to possible employers, give me recommendations and pass along tips about freelance or part time work. I try to return the favor, by relaying information to my network of unemployed friends. I hope the good karma will help me down the line. It certainly can’t hurt. I have also started to build a network of currently employed friends, former colleagues and bosses, focusing on those in the media industry. I have reconnected with various human resources contacts at old companies, even the company that had just let me go. That relationship led to a job interview, and when I didn’t get that job I went back to HR for an informational interview. I think if I maintain that relationship I have a good chance of returning to work at one of their surviving publications â€" if a job ever opens up. I know they will keep me in mind for future openings, and if I see or hear of a job posting I can go directly to them and ask to be considered. I’m also applying to the few jobs I find on online job boards and through word of mouth. And while I wait to see if any of those pan out, I’ve been trying to make myself more marketable by working on freelance projects. I have started by pitching stories to people who I have worked with before. Once I build up my clips and expertise I plan to pitch other editors outside of my network. Recently, all of my networking and self-promotion has started to pay off. I’m still not sure if I will ever find another dream job, and I will always feel like there is more I could be doing to get there, but I’m on the right track. I know the best thing I can do right now is believe in myself and my abilities. Every day is a challenge, but giving up is not an option.
