rich getting richer?
 
you bet:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32505284...ew_york_times/

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...

You don't think the GM bailout was for free enterprise or jobs do you?

It was for corruption, supported by the senate, congress, the president and
the Canadian parliament. People in North America no longer work for boats
and the extras, they work for the corporations and banks as tax slaves.

Well, isn't that part of the GOP master plan?

Trouble isn't GOP, its the dim-witts who are doing the corruption spending.
In fact, like a debt-junkie with a new credit card backed by the hard
working middle class taxpayer. Corruption is a different beast altogether.
The real problem is people don't think before they vote and need to look at
the latest soap box candidate in a more critial way before giving them a
vote.

Like I said, it isn't just GOP, Dim-witts are trying to outdo them. FOr
debt-spend over time, Obama is debt-spending at least ten times the rate the
Bush.

Are you penny wise and pound foolish?

Whatever happened to the Pentagon audit that found billions of dollars
missing in Iraq?

http://www.alternet.org/world/86569/

For scale, even using the Lewin Group's worst case figures, not even
the Obama Health Care Plan reaches the amount spent on "Operation
Iraqi Freedom!"

One gets a pass, the other one will surely be an end to life as we
know it. Consistency?


Exactly. I'm getting sick and tired of the mantra from the right that
everything conservatives is good and nothing a conservative ever did was
wrong, and liberals are evil killers of elderly.
