although they've 'suffered' a bit in recent times, the GOP saw to it
that the rich had a greater percentage of assets than at any time
since the 20's:

"The rich have been getting richer for so long that the trend has come
to seem almost permanent.

They began to pull away from everyone else in the 1970s. By 2006,
income was more concentrated at the top than it had been since the
late 1920s. The recent news about resurgent Wall Street pay has seemed
to suggest that not even the Great Recession could reverse the rise in
income inequality "

but they've screwed people for so long that even they can't maintain
the greed:

"But economists say — and data is beginning to show — that a
significant change may in fact be under way. The rich, as a group, are
no longer getting richer. Over the last two years, they have become
poorer. And many may not return to their old levels of wealth and
income anytime soon."

no wonder we have so many pro-rich sock puppets in this group. the
rich are reaping what they've sown and they want us to pay for it...
