All Democrats are welfare leeches. I read it here on this forum thousands of times so it must be true.
Actually what has happened is the liberals you voted into office created the greatest wealth gap in history. So, to break that down for you. The entitlement crowd of liberals are voting slaves to their, now filthy rich, masters.
Your homework, research the cause and impact of the current wealth gap and increase in entitlement and disability programs. Formulate strategies to reverse these trends in 2016. Assess how these strategies will help lift Americans out of continuing slide into poverty.
Thank you for taking this class. Do your homework and see you tomorrow.

Know whats ironic? You think that its the evil "liberals" that do this. you ignore that it occurred while conservatives were in charge too. And you tell people to do their homework. LOL.
Instead you make the same idiotic mistake. You carry their water, and make their argument. Where does the middle class die? Where they exist. Weird how thats blue states......
Are you always that dishonest? Why did you only quote Why is it a good thing when corporations get more revenue via tax cuts
Because that's the part of your post to which I was responding with the actual truth.That's generally how forum posts are done. You don't copy and paste the whole previous post to point out a flaw in part of it.
And Harry Reid is one of the best Crony Capitalists in DC. They like to talk about being advocates for the poor, but actions speak louder than words.
----------------------------------------------
Corporate donors to a green energy nonprofit operated by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D., Nev.) former staffers and a current campaign operative have received billions of dollars in federal loan guarantees and grant money as a result of Reid’s advocacy.
Fulcrum Bioenergy began contributing to the Clean Energy Project (CEP) in 2013. One year later, the Nevada Democrat steered tens of millions of dollars in federal grant money to the California biofuel company.
Fulcrum is one of at least nine corporate donors to the Clean Energy Project (CEP) that have secured federal financing for themselves or a client due in part to Reid’s behind-the-scenes advocacy—activity that watchdogs warn could be construed as unethical.
That could be unethical.
While the Bush White House said 935 false statements about Iraq, invaded Iraq for nothing, and then Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney gave Haliburton billions of dollars of no-bid government contracts in Iraq.
(Thats positively unethical.)
(Rep) GW Bush did $2.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts. Bush gave the richest 1% of Americans 52% of the tax cuts. And Bush gave the 20% of Americans making $36,000-$59,000 a year 10% of the tax cuts. Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis
We must realize that billionaires are very special people so much better than the rest of us them must be given special treatment including all manner of tax breaks so they can maintain their exclusivity. The rest of us middle, working and poor people are not special enough to get any brakes and to pay ever more to protect the billionaires and their interests all over the world.
Then that has, gets and uses the rest of us to make certain that never ends. Welcome to the New Feudalism.

It happened because Obama went with Bernanke. The guy that had failed the country. Yep, Bush picked him first but the wealth gap does not grow to a record level if Obama picks someone that doesn't concentrate every action of the Fed to seeing that the top percentages succeeded at the expense of everyone else.
It doesn't matter what others did before when speaking about what Obama did.
You can't call it corporate welfare when it was payment for contracted goods and services:
Quote:
"Most of the payments Open the Books uncovered were contracts between government agencies and private firms. The largest of these are military-procurement deals with such firms as Lockheed Martin ($392 billion), General Dynamics ($170 billion), and United Technologies ($73 billion). At least taxpayers get services in exchange for these tax dollars."
That's like saying paying your mortgage or utility bills is corporate welfare.
The real number for 2000-2012, that's 12 years, is just $21.3 billion. That's only $1.775 billion per year, FAR less than we spend on social welfare programs, AND it includes the end of Clinton's presidency and the first 3 years of Obama's presidency.:
Quote:
"$21.3 billion that was doled out in the form of outright income-transfer subsidies to corporate America."

Liberal billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who support democrats are good people.
And Buffet has so much pull in the democrat party they tried to follow his wishes, they even named the law after Buffet. But republicans stopped the law from passing. Buffett Rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But conservative billionaires like the Koch brothers want low CEO tax rates, corporate tax cuts, to abolish every government agency that regulates/fines large corporations, and to abolish all government agencies who's funding can be transferred to corporate America.
But unfortunately the Koch brothers have more power in politics than Warren Buffet.
