Well, it is true that the top 1% have captured 95% of income gains since 2009.

Yes, good numbers are cooked, and bad numbers are factual.

No one is saying we are worse off than 2009. That is your absurd twisted agenda.
The lost jobs are being replaced by jobs paying 28 percent less and that somehow equates to things are looking up? I'm only up to my neck in quicksand instead of my eyeballs gee things are looking up!
