You suck Obama
The increase likely reflects robust hiring last year when employers added 3.1 million jobs — the most since 1999.
Incomes for the bottom 99 percent of American families rose 3.3 percent last year to $47,213, the biggest annual gain in the past 15 years, according to data compiled by economist Emmanuel Saez and released Monday by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.

I gave you an awesome.
I only read the headlines. -
Still, income inequality worsened in 2014. The richest 1 percent of Americans posted a much bigger increase in pay: their incomes soared an average of 10.8 percent to $1.3 million. The wealthiest 1 percent also captured 21.2 percent of all income in 2014, up from 20.1 percent the previous year.

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...

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. -
I like to blast someone for incorrect information, then I like to include stock market gains and housing market gains as income.

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.2001400ex said:

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

I still didn't vote for Obama.
Again, ask someone that did. If you think I'm bothered by a president not living up to expectations, when I couldn't even be bothered to vote for him, then you're dumber than I thought. And I thought you were pretty fucking dumb. -
