Class Warfare? Rich 275% more wealthy with Voodoo, others 30% up. Pfffffft!!
That Pffffft!! is the sound a fuse makes when it blows.... I can smell the smoke... Sorry to tell you Captn Crunch, but that CBO study is bastardized Govt propaganda.. I explained why yesterday in several places..
What SHOULD HAVE tipped you off is why the CBO is releasing a brand new report with data that ends in 2007... But then again, unless it's light, water, and fertilizer, most leftists won't respond to stuff like that..
There IS a wealth gap. I (we) don't care because attacking wealth is NOT gonna put America on a competitive course in the world. And from the looks of it -- encouraging Americans to educate themselves better would be a far bigger step towards "social justice" than mere distribution...
Workers’ share of national income plummets to record low
Workers
With a capitalistic economy that is driven 70% by consumer spending and the fact that the Middle Class is the core of the Consumer Class, how does one think our consumer driven economy can continue with trends like this?
Someone is holding down workers wages to drive higher profits and the few elites are reaping the rewards as they are the investor class that make their living off of their investments. This small but wealthy group is clealry becoming wealthy at the expense of flat wages for 80% of working Americans. And we are to let this greed driven class warfare continue at the expense of the US economy?
Really? So when you go buy a BIG SCREEN TV -- some US workers get jobs?? NO!! A big ship pulls into Long Beach from China and DELIVERS your TV to you..
BTW: How come those Chinese workers standard of living is GOING THRU THE ROOF while THEIR income inequities are also soaring.. Do THEY care about a wealth gap? Where did the investment in CHINA come from that enabled this astronomical growth of per capita income? Did it TRICKLE UP?
We need to get off of the mindless notion that "eating the rich" is gonna fix stagnant economies or keep our standard of living. There are real problems to fix. LEFTIST politics and Obama don't have a clue how all that works..
Go talk to the NBA Players who are drawing $23MIll salaries and STILL REFUSE to serve the public. THOSE are the 1%ers on strike for GREED ALONE.. Hell -- MANY of them make MORE than the CEO of Caterpillar and THEIR incomes have tripled from 1979 as well...
