Oh really? You are showing your ignorance with every word you post. QE and Obama's policies have accelerated the rich poor divide. More people than ever are unemployed and underemployed and more people than ever are on food stamps and disability. The rich are richer than ever and now enjoy immunity from prosecution for financial fraud. Is this Obama's prosperity? Sounds like crony capitalism funded on the backs of the working class. Obama doubled down on Bush's insane policies and here we are. When I voted for Obama, I thought I was getting someone different from Bush Jr. My mistake. We'd have been better off with Hillary. Much better off. Or maybe Mitt? You know.........the guy you voted for last election. You don't have much credibility these days, MM. I wouldn't double down............

Do your math. How does a policy that increases taxes on the rich and not the poor increase the economic divide. Besides, the formation of a divide does not happen overnight. Rather it takes decades and we know well what happened in the last decade. We sent kids of poor families off to a war so that rich folks could benefit from the war and with that we gave tax breaks to the rich. Never before did we see tax breaks during a war. On the contrary, we have historically seen tax increases to fund a war. So when we do things ass backward we can expect to see ass backward results such as deficits, economic divide increase etc. and these take almost a decade to form. So get your head out of your ass, put on your thinking cap and you will soon sound like a thoughtful dude.
