    That has to be about the dumbest economic article I've read in a while, but considering it's from a Clinton aide its to be assumed.

    Saying everything is great when grouping 99% together misses the entire point. Add to that saying the average income for said 99% went up 3% in a year the stock market went up 12% and who knows how much housing went up almost guarantees the folks on the lower rungs aren't seeing much if any. But hey, if you have to bend over backwards that much in an attempt to make things look great for a few lapdogs more power to them. Look at median income and such...it actually went up in 2013 (after steadily decreasing the previous few years) to get yourself in a lather.

    And I know you are complete unaware of this but your article is propaganda straight from John Podesta (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/06/podesta-starting-a-think-tank-on-inequality/). Maybe you should take it as a compliment...you gurgle on it without even knowing...


    I like to blast someone for incorrect information, then I like to include stock market gains and housing market gains as income. Cause that's what I like to do.

    Income inequality is a classic low information voter issue that the democrats run on every time and do nothing about because there is nothing they can do.

    The best you can do is have a robust economy with lots of good jobs. Not exactly an Obama strength as we have seen.

    When was the last time we had a robust economy with good jobs?

    So if you sell stock or your house and make money on it then its not considered income?

    You're a bright one...

    Aren't you guys tired of this?

    One side takes something Obama has done a middling to poor job at and acts like it's 9/11 the remix. Then the other side takes something Obama has done a middling to ok job at and acts like he just gave Hitler an RKO out of nowhere.

    Obama isn't either extreme you idiots want him to be. He's been adequate. Now stop boring me with this shit.

    Reagan's second term through W's first. Pretty good 20 year run. Did the gap widen? Yes it did. Imagine that. Must be a phony issue. Oh wait - it is.

    Bill Gates accumulating billions of dollars did not effect my income at all.

    You want to ask some more stupid questions or are we through here?

    Are you retarded? I realize Honda is a dunce and you don't need your A game for him but that is horrifically stupid.

    If you insist on engaging in these slap fights the least you can do is try.
