I italicized the part that addresses the 1% and probably upper 10% - "Stagnant wages have occurred in almost all segments, it's far from exclusive to minimum wage workers." Indeed, poverty has existed since day one, virtually everywhere. I'd really love to see trustable stats on it since LBJ's War On Poverty. Do you have any sources for even reasonably reliable US or world poverty stats? And is it your sense that there's more or less poverty in Asia for example since 2000? Nowhere have I ever said or implied that I approve of disappearing small businesses. Do you believe that WalMart benefits the poor in any way, or are they completely evil? Same question on Target... Add in the favored tax treatment on hedge fund "profits" to tax havens etc. But while we're on taxes, what should the average total tax rate be for both average/median Americans total income and the 1%ers? Should there be any "loopholes" to encourage investments in "whatever"?
