Well, I voted for Romney and the rich got richer while the poor got poorer.

You want wealth redistribution?

Are the Poor Getting Poorer?

People who want more government income redistribution programs often sell their agenda with the lament, "The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer," but how about some evidence and you decide? I think the rich are getting richer, and so are the poor.

Are you “poor” when you get subsidized cell-communications?
Are you “poor” if you can get subsidized internet that inevitable includes TV signals?
Are you “poor” if you can get unlimited protien/dairy/dry goods to provide sustenance?

Let’s look at the “poor” in Rwanda as comparison.
