Charles Barkley gets it. On Larry King Live tonight he said that the problems we face in America aren't about conservative versus liberal, or Republican versus Democrat. The problem is the rich versus the poor. Barkley also said that he was tired of just hearing about the rich and the middle class, while little or nothing is being said about the poor.
