"Amazingly, incomes have dropped even more during the “recovery” than they did during the recession. In fact, they’ve dropped more than twice as much as they did during the recession."

Is it too much to ask for you to take personal responsibility of your life as opposed to looking for someone to blame for your own failures?

Just saying......

Wait.... If Obamacare stays around.. in 2014 more money will be taken out of everyones pocket who has to buy health insurance through the mandate tax Obama pushed through.. thousands more dollars taken each year to each one who has to buy health insurance. Obama picking the pockets of the middle class again.

Tell Obama that! He is the one who wants votes so he gives away more and more and charges the tax payer for it.

That video, and many more like this person where it came from, is the epitomy of the Obama supporter and what they adamently expect from a President.
People need to get off their A-- and work, like most of us responsible people.

She says a lot about his supporters, because so many of them do feel this way.

It figures people who have been responsible and worked their whole life, under Obama, now unemployed for the very first time in their lifes, and half of these people also lost a home. And you have these lazy pieces of sh-- demanding free stuff, go work for it.

We have more people on welfare and food stamps then any other time. Under Obama do not tell me no, i happen to know have many bank accounts with money, and sorry but 5 yrs ago, i had a hell of a lot more then i now do. Just not the same under Obama, everything has come down.

No respect what so ever for people like this women, and sorry but in the democratic clan, there are many more like her!

I work for a small business and have gotten a raise every year since 2009. Our company is earning record revenue this year (as it did in 2010) and has increased its workforce by 20%.

If anyone is failing to prosper in today's economy, it's their own damn fault. Isn't that right, all you free-market fundamentalists?

I wonder.... has executive and CEO compensation fallen during the same time period?

If not.... guess what..... you're attacking the wrong people!




Edit: I can answer my own question:

The heads of the nation’s top companies got the biggest raises in recent memory last year after taking a hiatus during the recession.

At a time most employees can barely remember their last substantial raise, median CEO pay jumped 27% in 2010 as the executives’ compensation started working its way back to prerecession levels, a USA TODAY analysis of data from GovernanceMetrics International found. Workers in private industry, meanwhile, saw their compensation grow just 2.1% in the 12 months ended December 2010, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Two years of scaling back amid tough economic times proved temporary as three-quarters of CEOs got raises in 2010 — and, in many cases, the increases were substantial.

What has happened now is that our society in general has realized that voting has power, and they can basically vote themselves welfare by who they put into office. We've become a country of entitlement. And we're doomed for it.

These people should be drug tested and put out to work like everyone else. A better idea is for the government to stop the printing presses and not send them checks. Then take that money and give it to the veterans and elderly that put in their time and paid their dues to America.

Everyone is sick of people like this. They are bringing everyone down.

Are all of your raises higher than the rate of inflation? Are you able to put money in a savings account that actually earns interest at a rate greater than inflation?

These are the real questions.
