Yes sir!! The Democrats are really delivering on the change we voted for last year!! The change we want and the change we need!! They gave $900 billion to AIG, BOA and assorted other criminal organizations BUT what have they given the working people??? Well, apparently LESS than we had under Bush!
The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans — those making more than $138,000 each year — earned 11.4 times the roughly $12,000 made by those living near or below the poverty line in 2008, according to newly released census figures. That ratio was an increase from 11.2 in 2007 and the previous high of 11.22 in 2003.
Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997.
