Actually I am doing quite well financially, thanks for asking.
And, I can read quite well also. What I am trying to point out is that the wealth of everybody is, in fact, not increasing. During the recent recession and jobless recovery, most hard-working families with low incomes actually lost financial assets. It is the conditions of those you quote and scream that are not met during the recent past. And, I, at least, would prefer to keep this discussion to the substance instead of personal psychologizing or attributing bad motives to ideas you personally happen not to agree with.

I've heard that the "wealthy" suffered the largest income drop during the Clinton Recession and that everyone else stayed about even or inched ahead ... incomes have been up across the board since the recovery kicked in ... big leaps in productivity tend to have that effect.

Maybe you're right (about what to talk about).
