The rich getting richer in one chart

[kpete]

Think about that for a minute: 64 percent of all income growth since 1979 has gone to the top 10 percent.

1. The bottom 90% have been outsourced and defunded...

That's why we have the economy of a banana republic.

4. What is really sad is...

The republicans have been able to convince those gullible enough to buy into the their BS that this kind of insane thinking "WORKS", even after 8 yeas of George W. Bush, many on the right, and the tea party nuts, still think the "trickle down economics" they have been practicing since Reagan really work and that they are "better off" now than before it all started, even though many of them are out of work and losing everything they have!

7. ...and dems have missed the prime opportunity to ask the People,

"How has trickle down economics worked out for you? Have those tax cuts for the rich provided you & yours with a job? How well off are you today, compared to 30 years ago?"

Instead, crickets.

:banghead:

5. The a lot of the RICH got more greedy and more greedy and more greedy

so there is no longer a middle class. The actions of the rich and greedy is what has caused our country to be in the shape that it is in now. Don't misunderstand me, I don't think all rich people are greedy because I know some wealthy people that believe in sharing the wealth.

3. Let the republicans in again this will look like a beginner's chart. n/t

6. Bottom 60% get 11% and the bottom 40% less than 3.5%

and we have those among us saying there is no class warfare.
