you're absolutely right, he should've known better than to think right wingers could interpret graphs.

You?
I've never worked for a poor man either. I don't believe they have enough to trickle up.

They aren't the one that have implemented it the last 6 years.

Mother Jones is a horribly biased, often misleading site. You should fact check most things they write, just like with Breitbart, and Cato. These particular graphs though? They're accurate. I'd be careful reading the story associated with them, but the graphs are accurate.

They very very clearly show the failed conservative policies, and do a good job demonstrating that our current presidents fairly conservative policies are not helping, we need serious change.

So asking Conservative to explain them is not a unreasonable request when the conservatives keep saying "just a few more tax cuts and you will all be rich....."

buffett is a hypocrite to sell the useful idiots on liberal ideas while he becomes richer.

The right-wing has a blind adoration of the ultra-rich. I'm asking for a reasonable explanation.
What difference is it if it's a blind adoration or one with your eyes wide open? We know what the last 6 years has produced. Record setting Wall Street profits, stagnant wages and hiring.
