Poverty Is Through the Roof, Yet Billionaires Are Complaining

Shhhhhh.....!!!! you're not allowed to talk about that. It's the socialist communist Obama who wants to spread the wealth, didn't you get the memo from Glenn Beck? you can't talk about the truth. Shhhhhhh....!

Stupid teabaggers don't know who's hands are in their wallets.

it has been said that you are likely to find a democrat's hand in your pants (especially if you are female), but you are most likely to find a republican's hand in your pocket where you keep your cash

oh well
 
I think some of these billionaire dudes are pissed about having to go back to paying the tax rates of the prosperous 1990s.

Well, that and unions haven't been completely destroyed yet. I think they get tweaked about those horrifically high union wages and benefits.
 
Yeah...if is wasn't for the far-left wing blogs, we would never know that the billionaires are complaining would we....
guess they're the only ones breaking this big news flash...not even Chris Matthews got this bombshell yet...(sic).....

If a Repub. was in the white house, he or she would be getting the blame for increasing poverty, but no mention of the incompetent residing there now...

Thats because, unlike you, we stay well informed on what all sides of the political spectrum is saying about issues....it might just help you to watch Beck and O'Reilly to round out your education a little...you could certainly use it.

No, I prefer to read such enlightening periodicals like Newsmax, Free Republic, Townhall and The Daily Beast, sometimes I will look to see what Matt Drudge is doing! Hot Air and Little Green Footballs are very amusing sites for Republican info!

Beck, O'Rant and all the Fox boys are bought and sold by the Kock brothers, I like to read thinking Republicans! not lap dogs!

Bad on you for assuming I don't follow both sides!

Like this statement from Ryan: http://sistertoldjah.com/

Healthy debate should take place within the Republican Party on specific policies, but it is a false choice to ask which natural right we should discard: ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ is not a menu of options. All planks – economic liberty and limited government; keeping our nation secure; championing America’s founding truths and the dignity of every human person – are rooted in same timeless principles, enshrined in our Founding and the cause of our exceptionalism. American families are under assault from many quarters, with mounting economic hardships and a crushing burden of government debt foremost on the minds of many. The American family must remain at the core of our free society, and I will remain ever-vigilant in its defense.”

Now this makes sense, doesn't it!

It certainly does make sense....yet, there are times when you don't....

economic liberty
limited government
keeping our nation secure
championing America’s founding truths
and
The American family must remain at the core of our free society


I absolutely cannot disagree with any of those goals and issues....
and ironically,
it sounds just like the script of a Glenn Beck program...

Well, I can't be perfect all the time, but my record is better than yours!

Glenn Beck has never sounded this rational, and if he did, he was repeating someone else!

haha...a negative rep because I criticized you ? And THEN you admit to not being perfect.....now should I neg. rep. you because you say your record is better than mine...Thats the kind of crap that confuses me...I don't understand you morons....you get pwned, you get pissed...
A rational conversation suddenly gets me a negative rep....????

Not a big deal....I'll get 50 good reps to your 1 bad one....
=========================================
The fact that you don't think it sounds like Beck is proof you don't listen to him....or to Conservatives in general.....because that is the Conservatives Creed....
economic liberty....as in less regulation, taxes, and law
limited government...the number one issue of the right, less government
keeping our nation secure...the number one DUTY of government
America’s founding truths...as in no more legislation from the courts
and
The American family must remain at the core of our free society...the American family of the liberals is the insanity of 2 mommies or 2 daddies

Your neg. rep. says more about you than is does me......pinhead
You could learn a lot from Mr. Beck:fu:

How often can I negative rep you? Every twelve hours, it cracks me up how it effects your life enough to comment on it! I would laugh, it was meant to be funny, but I forgot the little emotoconie thing! I forget that some of take the rep thing like the popularity thing in high school. I will just give you happy faces all the time and help you inferiority complex, I am so sorry that it hurt you. Please forgive me. I will try harder.

But on Beck's program the evil liberal socialist communist Obama union conspiracy is at the heart of all of our problems and has caused all of our problems. When actually Beck is on the Koch brothers payroll and will sell any snake oil they give him. Beck's classroom revisionist history lessons are laughable laced with half-truths and innuendo. He's conditioning his flock to accept corporatism. But hey, you are free to be his slave if you want to.

Hardly...the socialist conspiracy is in its infancy....our problems because of it have barely even started yet......and the repetitious mention of the Koch boys, ad nauseam is of no more importance than if I brought up Soros the socialist, every second post....

Instead of showing their outrage about the spread of poverty in the richest nation on Earth, the super-rich want us to pity them?

Everybody's struggling while the rich got richer. Any wonder they're whining about losing their tax cuts.

The 400 people on Forbes magazine's list of the richest Americans saw their combined net worth climb 8 percent this year. The good news for the wealthy comes as the poverty rate has reached a 15-year high and unemployment remains stuck near 10 percent.

The Forbes 400 list makes clear that a huge amount of wealth in this country is controlled by a very small number of people. Timothy Noah, who reported a 10-part Slate magazine series on the growth of income disparity in the U.S., says the last time the country experienced a similar kind of distortion was in the 1920s.

"It ended of course in 1929 with the crash, and after that we had a very long period in the United States where incomes grew more and more equal. That reversed itself at the end of the 1970s, and ever since then incomes have been growing more and more unequal," Noah tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer.

For his series, Noah defines the wealthy in three categories: the sort-of rich are those who make more than $100,000; the rich — those in the top 1 percent — earn more than $360,000; and stinking rich — those in the .01 percent — make more than $1 million.

"It's really that top 1 percent and .01 percent — the rich and the stinking rich — who at least since the early '90s have really been driving this inequality trend," Noah says.

And despite these economically rough times, the rich got 8 percent richer.

"Wall Street caused this recession and yet Wall Street recovered from it while the rest of the country is suffering from unemployment that's close to 10 percent," Noah says.

So why, as the rich have gotten richer, does everyone else seem to be sinking?

"Obviously there are inequalities related to gender and race, but the increase since 1979 has nothing to do with gender or race," he says.

Education appears to have played a very big role, as did the decline of labor.

But the notion of the American dream persists even though, he says, dreams of making it rich aren't fulfilled as often as they used to be.

"A lot of people say, 'So what if we have unequal incomes? We have a great deal of mobility in the United States. Anybody can grow up to be president.' But in truth, social mobility has actually decreased over the last 40 years," Noah says. "There's still a fervent belief that that is what defines the United States, but it is less true now than it used to be."

Just last week I was reading that Charles Johnson from Little Green Footballs is backing off his former Islamophobe rants, and his acolytes are P.O.'d.
