You're missing the point. The data shows that the people that are rich now are richer than the people that were rich in the past. What it also shows is that those people are not the same people.
Man! I had some great leaders to look up to as a teen....Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul II.
Who do our kids have? obama (yea right!)
Yeah some great heroes. A lying corporate puppet and a man who allowed thousands of pedophile Priests to "serve the Lord" under his watch and likely contributed to a massive cover up. Those are some people to envy.
Blame Obama for the problems he inherited? I have took a hard look around, shame.
It was not under Bush that 13 people i know of, lost jobs and homes. Under Obama. Two as recent as last month, and by the way the one middle aged man was a bus driver for over 25 years, how do you think he now feels. Depressed, not Bush Obama. Say what you may, Obama is too very responsible for this mess we are now in.
Actually mine increased under Bush until the dems took control of congress.
Wonder if you are in the mortgage business or banking? Can't be Wall Street since they are still cashing in. A lot of dishonest people made lots of money during the Bush regime.
Actually yes it is, because it's premise is wrong. The richer ARE getting richer and the rest of us, are getting poorer.
The poor are not getting poorer, the average person has a better standard of living than they did 20, 30 or 100 years ago. While the very wealthy may have prospered more the poor have prospered too. Get it?
I should note that in recent years I'm sure that is not the case but this is hopefully just blip and we'll return to good economic times.
Take your blinders off man. If you think it's only Republican policy that put us into this mess you're being naive.
Dems do some really stupid things from time to time.
They get off message and bow to the Repubs.
So, I agree, they are also partially to blame.
