They are $700 billion dollars richer courtesy of the US tax payers. You will not hear the teabaggers talk about this, as they feel that that middle class is robbing the rich, they claim redistribution of the wealth, from rich to middle class. More tea bagging lies.

Yes. Smart people keep investing in the stock market when it's low, because that is when you can snap up good quality stocks that will eventually skyrocket back up to near where they were or better. It's like buying on sale. Duh.

The US already IS at the level of Mexico inequality!!!#@#@

Also, from what I remember reading from the Economist's "Special Report: Brazil" somewhat recently, Brazil's inequality levels were trending downward towards US levels, while US inequality level were trending upwards towards Brazilian levels . In the not-too-distant we will be no different from your average Latin American or African country!!!

uhm. they own businesses that provide goods and services we want and need. do you want them to shut down and not make anymore money?

that would cost americans jobs. is there any reason you want those people to be out of work?

your attempt to spin the story fails terribly.
