The rich can still be rich. Under Clinton's tax structure, we still had rich people.

Hey, as long as our welfare class can keep the spigot open, they'd vote for my cocker spaniel.

Yup, and we had increase in revenues because of the tech bubble. Clinton's economic success was due largely to a bubble.

i agree with that. Clinton was in the right place at the right time.

the question is, why don't folks grasp that Obama is on the losing end of the same dynamic? I'm not saying anybody should agree with his policies, just acknowledge that his "performance" has less to do with his policies, and more to do with taking over during the onset of the biggest economic sh*tstorm since the 1930s.

What if we work to eliminate fraudulent actions of everyone, not just one income level? You know, try for equality for once?

Hey, that sounds like a great idea? I wonder if any of the self proclaimed geniuses in DC ever thought about this???
