"Barack Obama and Ben Bernanke keep touting an "economic recovery", but the truth is that the only ones that seem to be benefiting from this recovery are those at the very top of the economic food chain."

---------

During the "Great Depression" during the 1930's, the uber-wealthy did not even know there was a depression until they read about it in the papers. Not everyone is affected by govt meddling. Some of us will survive regardless who is sitting in Washington.

From the article:

Quote:
Not Funny - During this most recent economic downturn, employee compensation in the United States has been the lowest that it has been relative to gross domestic product in over 50 years.
But according to the Reps that's not the real problem. Oh no. Companies that grant large bonuses to the top while handing out pay cuts for everyone else are never the problem. The real problem is the local second grade teacher and her 60k salary.

Yeah.

As long as the second grade teacher keeps churning out students that can't earn more than minimum wage, she IS parrt of the problem.

Here's another one: Everyone, including the President, tells you to go to college to get a good job. Fact: unemployment among college graduates is the highest in 40 years.
