Your opinion is not supported by the facts. The 99% has seen their wages stagnate and go down, even as inflation continues to go up. Adjust by inflation, the 99% earns less than they did when Obama took office. Full time, high paying jobs have been replaced by part time, low paying jobs, and this is what Obama calls improvement. The economy has been kept alive on monetary policy largesse, not by productivity growth and capital investment by businesses, and this is what you call economic improvement...debt rising to $20 trillion? The only beneficiaries of Obama's economy are the 1%. I've done very well and am happy to thank the Democrats for it. But if I'm honest with myself, that's not really fair to the 99%. We should be building a country that lifts all boats, not just the 1%. The greatest lie the Democrats have ever sold was in convincing the 99% that their policies are good for them. Monetary policy heroin and fiscal deficits are only ever good for the 1%. They are absolutely ruinous for the 99%, who don't own the assets that rise as a result of those policies.

And here are the facts...hard to argue with them there factoids.... ritholtz.com Oxfam has calculated that: •In 2015, just 62 individuals had the same wealth as 3.6 billion people – the bottom half of humanity. This figure is down from 388 individuals as recently as 2010. •The wealth of the richest 62 people has risen by 44% in the five years since2010 – that's an increase of more than half a trillion dollars ($542bn), to $1.76trillion. •Meanwhile, the wealth of the bottom half fell by just over a trillion dollars in thesame period –a drop of 41%. •Since the turn of the century, the poorest half of the world’s population has received just 1% of the total increase in global wealth, while half of thatincrease has gone to the top 1%. •The average annual income of the poorest 10% of people in the world has risen by less than $3 each year in almost a quarter of a century. Their daily income has risen by less than a single cent every year.
