No thank you. Major income tax reform is needed to really cut this inequality.
WALL STREET IS SOARING AS MAIN STREET IS POORING
Yes, but he’s concerned about the 99%. And that’s all that counts.
It doesn’t matter,
Americans want a talker not a producer and Obama talks.
They really think he cares.
The people at the top are doing a lot more of the work, too - a fellow I know from church built his own engineering firm but then sold it to a much larger firm; The contract with the larger firm requires him to stay on to manage the firm, and the new owners are asking him to take on a lot of managerial duties in different offices in the state. He is working a lot more now then when he had his own business.

No thank you. Major income tax reform is needed to really cut this inequality.
Wall Street is open to one and all. Read some books on personal finance, get an Etrade account and have at it. It’s sad to see a supposedly conservative paper whine about this.
Americans voted for the pied-piper and his talk of “hope and change.”
The reality is that all socialism is really just cronyism. Those with government connections get all the benefits.
That’s a feature of socialism, not a glitch. Wherever the middle-class is waning you will find increasing socialism.

Oh....how I wish Keith Olbermann was still on Current so I could go home tonight and watch his head explode.

Collectivism in America benefits only the rich and the poor which is represented by our collectivist political parties (Dems and Pubs).
The One Percenters are the biggest promoters of collectivism, Islam, global warming, gun control, ObamaCare, a world dictatorship, and everything else that conservatives are against.
The Occupy Wall Street crowd are the children of the One Percenters aka Red Diaper Doper Babies of current time.
WTF?! Either this is sarcasm or the author of this tripe is "seven kinds of stupid"...
It’s the paradox of “Trickle Up Economics”.
The higher you raise taxes on the rich to provide goods and services for the poor, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
It’s the rich that’s providing the goods and services so you raise their taxes they raise their prices.
The more people you put on the govt dole, the more the wealth flows to the top.
Poor people on the govt dole are obtaining goods and services with govt borrowed money.
It’s not “taxes’ that cover the cost of the leaches, it’s the borrowed money that covers the cost.
People that have to pay for the goods and services out of their own pocket are becoming poorer as they burn through their wealth to obtain the goods and services which others are getting for “free”.
The only ones prospering in this economy are the banksters and our government overlords. The only successful operation in progress is keeping the parasite class afloat and quiet - for now. When that scheme eventually collapses, the guillotines will emerge and the official reign of terror will begin.
We're rapidly morphing from the first American Republic to the First French Republic. The final question yet unsettled is do we finally end up with a Stalin or a Napoleon?
And why?
Because Obama has loosened things at the top while tightening things for the middle class. Obamacare will not impact the rich at all...it is the middle class who has to pay several hundred more a month. This at a time when they are already struggling.
