The issue of wealth inequality across the United States is well known, but this video shows you the extent of that imbalance in dramatic and graphic fashion.
The video, which started going viral on Friday and whose traffic continues to climb on YouTube — reflects the facts as seen from many different sources. We present it without comment, letting you, our readers, be the judge.
We have a secret ballot, how would you know who I voted for? Good job at deflecting.
So Obama's policies are making the rich richer???
Yes, the truly wealthy, the billionaires and those who only earn profits from investments are getting wealthier. The working people are paying more taxes, or losing their jobs, or spending $80 to fill their gas tank so they can drive to work. These are the people who see their wealth increase as the stock market goes up.
The top truly wealthy don't have mortgages either, they own their homes. So why does 0bama call for increased income taxes, and taking away mortgage interest deductions?
If you watch what 0bama does and says, he is not going after the multinational corporate conglomerates, he goes after the small corporations, he wants to eliminate tax deductions that are only available to the independent oil and gas companies, and he is taxing the high income earners, while the truly wealthy are left alone because they are not income earners.
Obama is the friend of the truly wealthy individuals and the older, already established multinational corporations. Warren Buffett and GE love 0bama.
Exactly! NOTHING Obama has articulated as belief or policy does any material correction to problems Progressives focus on.
Mr. Obama is NOT interested in redistrabution of the 1% wealth to the poor. He is interested in taking from the second 50% to the 99th% and giving that to government to keep the middle class and the upper middle class in line, while buying votes( read power) from those he keeps in poverty.
the truely RICH are left alone.
While it is certainly true that the republicans do nothing to curb the wealth of the super rich, it is also true that republicans do nothing to block those who are not rich, from becoming rich. In fact, they do exactly the opposite.
cross-posting, as this explains a lot; the author mentions there are 7 full-time lobbyists for every member of Congress in just the health care industry.
Because when you take a view that government will redistribute wealth from rich to poor as the emans of survival that emans as you do so more people are at the bottom. Grow the botto and you have more so called poor ;no matter the actaul standard of living. Middle class is really a standard of living based o thikig of epopel meeting their basic needs ;beyond that is varies around the world.Governamnt never creates wealth really it depends on peopole creating excess welth. When it does you have china in apst deacdes ebfore they converted to more free market system.China has taken Millions off of guaranteed income for years now.
Which is why the rich are always taking money from the middle class to give it to the poor. Ones its there its in route to them. Who buys the corn and soy slurry?

If wealth is being redistributed from the rich to the poor, why are the poor poorer and the rich getting richer??
