You made this claim, but then refuse to explain how it is "overly simplistic." Inode claim: When the wealthy get wealthier, the poor are better off, too, since the wealthy invest money and create jobs. Ok...so this what I said is the overly simplistic part...I should have said that it's simply not true. The evidence shows that the rich have never been richer, their wealth has increased dramatically over the last 40 years, yet the middle class has stagnated. I showed you the chart...i don't see how you can continue to stand by your position. During eight economically difficult years, when he walked in the door facing recession, then 9/11 which any thinking person expected to cause significant economic trouble for the ensuing years, two wars, Katrina, and ending with the economic collapse caused by Clinton policies. I will let your statement stand on the strength of its absurdity content...you seem to live in an alter world...one in which up is down and black is white...very hard to have a meaningful exchange in this world of yours.
