When will the GOP ever get around to debunking this misleading and foolish charge?
The ONLY time the gap between the rich and the poor is NOT growing is when the economy is in decline. Period. Easy example:
You're rich (congrats!), and I'm poor. You have $100 million. I have $100.
By ObamaLaw2015, we MUST invest in exactly the same way. For easy numbers, lets use a 10% rate of return.
After one year, you have $110 million. I have $110.
The "gap" between us grew by just under $10 million... even though we did EXACTLY the same thing!
The ONLY ways for this gap to shrink would be if vast amounts were taken from you evil rich guys, so much so that you gain nothing, or even start losing overall... or if we were both losing at the same rates (total economic decline).
Again, let the Right be VERY clear: The ONLY way the gap can shrink is for the "rich" to never gain a dollar, or for everyone to start losing money together... and in nether system can America's economy stand for very long... and this is what the Left is openly advocating for!!!!
That gap has actually been growing since the start of the industrial revolution. And you are correct...the only way to stop the gap is to stop growing the economy. What the gap-agenda people really are arguing for is a complete communist system.
