I miss the days when the Irish and Italians ruled the working class. You crap on those guys and they'd bust a chair across your teeth. Now all the pitbulls are mainly in the capitalist class and crap on the workers constantly, and then have the brass to complain all day about the stench.
I don't see a single thing noted here that would make the income inequality gap attributable in any way to the President.
A question: if companies are not hiring, how exactly does an employee leverage his/herself in such a way to get that increase in pay?
If the job you have is the only job you can get, you're pretty much out of luck, huh?
Funny how you can attribute homelessness to the president, but not equate jobs, or a lack of jobs to one. Tell me, is it only Republican ones you can attribute problems to?
did it ever occur to anyone that when you create a dependent class of people, IE the poor on welfare and food stamps, that the income gap is going to increase?
Don't forget bout the "dreamers" who were just thrust upon the already suffering economy.
Minimum wage level workers earning minimum wage but support the "immigration reform" are just what the dummycrats depend on to keep control over people.
Just some musings for those interested about policy
So we are told that democrats are for the little guy. They say we need to increase taxes on the "rich" they call the rich, those who are making some 200K per year? Something like that?
Well any "income tax" isn’t going to impact the rich because the rich don’t get their money from "income".
The only people who get money from "income" as defined by the IRS are people who are emerging into the wealthy classes.
What this policy does is limit access to real wealth. It prevents middle class people from moving up. Real wealth is all about assets. It is NOT about income.
Limiting access to higher wealth strata is really about limiting access to POWER.
Liberal political ideology is all about amassing power into the hands of the political elite and shrinking the size of the power holders to a smaller group of people.
Now this is not what they SAY but that is the actual outcome of the policy. People need to start ignoring what they SAY and start looking at what the policy does.
What unions? We are busy doing away with all those in our 'right to work' states. That's another thing that has hurt the middle class - like it or not.
The middle class hasn't had a voice since Bush I, II, and now III.
Our country will implode if this continues but I really see no relief in sight.
I juyst live how you leave Clinton out of the mix when he was responsible for more damage to the middle class of this country and the upper making more money than any other President in a long long time. Who do you think the Free Trade agreements helped and hurt? How about the repeal of Glass Steagall? The upper class benefits and the middle and lower classes suffer do to that.

The tax rate on capital gains should be increased.
We need to drastically cut government spending, but there are way to many people, making way more money then is beneficial for the economy on capital gains alone.
