This is no strawman. I want these graphs justified.
The right-wing has a blind adoration of the ultra-rich. I'm asking for a reasonable explanation.
If you look up the income gap over the last 6 years you will find Obama made them ultra rich. Liberals create their own despair and blame everyone else for their suffering
Quite frankly, I've done well since he's been in office. Sadly the very people who voted for him and believe he's their savior are the ones who suffer the most.

Classic argument.
Which Obama policy made the 1% ultra rich?
Plus, the data provided was all prior to Obama. This is a 30+ year problem, not a 6 year problem.

If your going to grab mother jones graphs cut and paste your not going to do any serious research. Do you realize he has pumped 85 billion a month into the corporations your trying to vilify? He's done this since he's been in office. . Not only has he pumped billions into American corporations but made multinationals ultra rich as well.

1) President Obama doesn't control what Ben Bernanke / Janet Yellen does.
2) President Obama doesn't construct Federal Budgets
3) Quantitative Easing bailouts prevented a double-dip recession
Because the federal govt has had to increasingly prop up the economy with welfare, govt spending, and wars due to the private sector setting up shop overseas and using automation.
Here's a non motherjones graph:
Wages as % of GDP vs private sector profts
That wealth ain't trickling down, the rich are getting richer through globalization and technology. America needs a real infrastructure package instead of more welfare and more wars.

He didn't pump into corporations, that's not how it works.
Have you considered your notion of capitalism is broken?
1) President Obama doesn't control what Ben Bernanke / Janet Yellen does.
2) President Obama doesn't construct Federal Budgets
3) Quantitative Easing bailouts prevented a double-dip recession
Indeed, crony capitalism has gotten even worse under Obama.
The war between liberals and conservatives is a false divide-and-conquer dog-and-pony show created by the powers that be to keep the American people divided and distracted.
Greatest myth/lie of politics in the last 100 years imho.
and before the "but David Stockman, Reagan's budget director, said 'trickle down' in an interview" rebuttal, Dr. Sowell was kind enough to crush that as well - trickle down ignorance
We now return you to your straw man fallacy circle jerk.....
Oh really? You expect us to believe that bulll****? My God it's astounding the crap cons will outright lie about and expect us to swallow it. Trickle down economics is NOT a strawman. I remember Reagan pushing it in 1980. He called it supply side economics and argued that "a rising tide lifts all boats"
