It once occurred to me that a guy could ask rhetorical questions like this, review the answers, and post the best of the lot on his own blog as if he had written them. But, to my answer: it has happened.
We had the largest DECREASE in the gap between rich and poor under Bush since the great depression. The rich own most of the assets. Asset prices plummeted. That's when the left decides to change the guage and begin measuring the gap as an income gap instead of a wealth gap. But, rest assured, when we have another bubble of one kind or another in assets, the left will be right back to talking about assets as the measurement between the gap of rich and poor. Funny how it works like that, isn't it.
Oh, so W's tax cuts, which disproportionately favored the rich, had no bearing, eh? It didn't contribute to the disparity? In fact, it was supposed to reap rewards, what with all the new employment that the tax cuts would have generated, right? All that new employment and business investment...which is why, together with the Right's characteristic disdain for regulation, W left such a golden legacy.
A huge portion of the population looks at the current situation and realizes that Romney was in fact most equipped to handle the challenges of the current situation. He just wasn't likeable at the time.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/page?id=13248168 It shows that "Donald John Trump" was born June 14, 1946 in Jamaica Hospital in Queens.It lists his father as Fred C. Trump and his mother as Mary Mac Leod. The date of the report is listed as June 14, 1946. The image came with an accompanying memo from a member of Trump's staff. "A 'birth certificate' and a 'certificate of live birth' are in no way the same thing, even though in some cases they use some of the same words," wrote Trump staffer Thuy Colayco in a message to ABC News. "One officially confirms and records a newborn childâs identity and details of his or her birth, while the other only confirms that someone reported the birth of a child. Also, a 'certificate of live birth' is very easy to get because the standards are much lower, while a 'birth certificate' is only gotten through a long and detailed process wherein identity must be proved beyond any doubt. If you had only a certificate of live birth, you would not be able to get a proper passport from the Post Office or a driverâs license from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore, there is very significant difference between a 'certificate of live birth' and a 'birth certificate' and one should never be confused with the other." http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MhNKsBHjc...ACsE/5AcMlBUY8P8/s1600/%21ATrumpLong-Form.jpg
I think the GreenPeace types are well aware that the GOP is launching a Normandy type assault on the White House in 2012. The Tea Party will hit Omaha beach. I am quite sure this will scare them into going to the polls.* *I am not suggesting that the dems a Nazis, I am just trying to highlight that this election cycle will be epic.
Are you f*cking crazy? That's not rhetorical. Are you f*cking crazy? Dude, rich people don't get 1040's or W-2's. They own assets. They don't pay any taxes on those assets until they sell them. You can cut taxes to zero for the rich and it's not going to benefit them a single penny. that's rhetoric used by the idiot left to get them all excited and angry. You have a lot to learn Gabby. Go back to school.
