World's Richest Now Richer Than Before Great Recession

This is great news. Turning the economy around starts at the top.

So you think things are headed in the right direction? Under Obama?


This is where you get to look like a hypocrite...and Go!
If Obama had his druthers, he'd find a way to tax the shit out of every person he views as having "too much". Oh wait....He's already said he'd do that.... To everyone who makes over $125k per year....The rich...

Pretty damn funny seeing the left trying to make points with the rich getting richer under Obama lead guess the left is all of the sudden proud that obama is heading in the right direction. Which of course leads one to ask whats with all the whining from left with the Rich getting richer?
 
You mean we're not all in this together?

Not if you're among the "high net worth individuals" (HNWIs) who've not only made back what they lost in the fall of '08, now they are richer than ever and there are more of them - nearly 11 more - than before the recession struck.

"According to the annual world wealth report by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini, the wealth of HNWIs around the world reached $42.7tn (£26.5tn) in 2010, rising nearly 10% in a year and surpassing the peak of $40.7tn reached in 2007, even as austerity budgets were implemented by many governments in the developed world..."

The rich get richer because the poor get austerity budgets.

Holy shit? Starting another class envy troll thread?
Quite frankly, we're tired of this bullshit.
The mods should close this idiotic thread.
Aw, c'mon, now.....don't get too upset.

You should be USED-to-it, by now.

You Teabaggers really thought the 1%ers were gonna reward you, for all your support???

So......how many times has that been, for you, over the course o' your Life....you know, kissin' the rich-kid's ass....hoping he'd let you hang-with-him???

"It's pretty clear that the Tea Party members are being set up for a big disappointment. There is little chance that the politicians they are supporting are going to do what the members think they're going to do once in office. The members might supply the votes, but the big corporations behind so many of the things that the Tea Party members hate are the ones supplying the money and organization. These politicians, once in office, will understand that the big money can go after them just as well is it went for them this time, if they don't do what they're told by their big corporate funders. But on the other hand, there will be lucrative lobbying jobs waiting for them if they play along. They are going to disappoint the Tea Party members, no question."

You forgot to post his quote....you know....where he said that.

I guess you could also be one more bullshittin' Teabagger.

Next time you are successful in your life be sure to beat yourself down for it. Idiot...

That's the whole point, these people are not successful in life... hence their bitterness and hatred.
 
Just more proof that in todays economy it is geared towards making the rich, richer while the middle class shrinks and struggle more and more every day. It's many of the people on this site that fall in to that last group but many of them have been convinced that by increasing the wealth of the wealthy will somehow help them too. It's an amazing thing to watch really. Theres a sucker born every minute is probably an understatement.
It's gotta be the hat.

Witnessing working class rightwingers defend the Rich is like watching poor people buy lottery tickets.
.....And, giving half, of them, to the Rich....you know, as Tribute to the Rich....a sign of their undying-devotion to the Rich.

This has gotta be some genetic-carryover, from the 1700s....when the Teabaggers ancestors were called Tories.​

Which economy is that?

It doesn't sound like the right prescription for the US economy where 70% of GDP is driven by consumption.

How does that happen without a US middle class that's paid enough to buy what it produces?
You're still on that government madated minimum salary kick?
Look genius, everything is relative. If employers are forced to significantly increase wages ( via government fiat) those businesses would be forced to significantly raise prices to pay the higher wages.
Yeah.....'cause they couldn't do that, AND pay mega-bonu$e$ to upper-management.....especially if they had a.....


Keep the excuses comin', Sucker.

Everybody would be right back where they started. So nothing changes.

Not necessarily, I don't have to purchase their products.

All it proves is that both parties have been bought by big business.
 
Did anyone read how the status was conferred, "high net worth individuals" ... defined as people who have more than $1m (£620,000) of free cash." Free cash? I'd like to know they figured that out, and considering some businesses deal in cash for obvious reasons, what did they do, ask how much money they had in the piggy bank?

Great another idiot who doesn't know what Tories were (or the tea partiers, I imagine).

Wasn't it gadawg who thought the Torries (his spelling) were some sort of Christian cult?

That's when I realized he wasn't dealing with a full deck..

LOL, now it's 125k a year? I love how the "facts" always seem to change. Care to back any of this up? Of course you won't. Because you just made that up. How Convenient.
$250k for married filing jointly. $125,000 for individuals.
Tax Countdown: Are You a Winner or a Loser?

A tax reform slam dunk - Yahoo! News
interesting how in this story, those earning $25ok plus make up just 2.5% of all taxpayers yet this income level and above pay HALF of the total federal burden.
By increasing the top marginal rate to 39.6% would mean this income bracket would then pay about 55% of the total burden. A drop in the bucket.
This is pure politics and pandering to the class envy crowd.
It's partisan garbage.

LOL, that's for a housing credit. Funny you failed to mention that. Wonder why that would be.....

According to an annual report by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini the wealth of "high net worth individuals" globally reached $42.7 trillion in 2010, two years after the onset of the Great Recession. Between 2009 and 2010 the HNWIs saw their incomes rise nearly 10%.

Does that sound like shared sacrifice to you?
Or are the rich getting richer by inflicting austerity budgets on everyone else?


I'm not seeing a lot of austerity out there from government, are you? I see where Obama pissed away $800 billion in borrowed money while telling us that if we gave him the money, unemployment wouldn't go above 8%. Of course, that big spending program for union members and other Obama acolytes has nothing to do with austerity. Maybe we'll see some sacrifice on the pat of government some time in the future. Maybe we should promote shared sacrifice by demanding that the bottom 47% of income earners begin paying federal taxes. The top 1% in this country pays nearly as much in federal taxes as the bottom 95%. And you want "shared" sacrifice. Uh, huh. Sure.

Stands to reason doesn't it? If you have more you can weather whatever happens better then the poor. Look at Pelosi. Her net worth increased by 65% in the last couple of years.
She figured out how to make that hopey changy thing work for her real well don't you think?

What the Fuck does Pelosi have ANYTHING to do with this? You are just interjecting bullshit because you know you are wrong. Pelosi is just another rich person who is in the House of representatives... just like about... oh.. 80-90% of the other people in there.

So... what does that have to do with the Rich getting richer, while us Middle Class and lower people get the rug pulled out from under us? Why is that fair and how is that in any way... EVERYONE MAKING A SACRIFICE?
