It's not Obama's fault real median income has dropped since 2000. What happened in 2000 anyway?

Right wing's racket: Define poverty as anything north of $100 million a year, cut taxes to that group, and use dog whistles to convince reality-challenged NASCAR fans that all federal spending other than "defense" is secret slave reparations going to you-know-whats whose children need to get work ethics.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The US is an extremely rich nation, but it's also an exceedingly poor one. That's why our median income is so low.

But if you'd like to continue pretending that there's not a problem with wealth inequality in this country, that's fine. Just don't complain when you find yourself with your back against the wall.

Aww, you say all that like it is a bad thing. Redistribution, regulation, unions, social justice, socialism are all good things that make America great. The reason that the US is now languishing in horrible unemployment records, massive welfare, and a slow growing economy is because we led the Republitards convince us that these things are bad.

We need more Socialism, more redistribution, more unions, more regulation in order to insure growth and security for everyone.
 
2011-12-27 11:17:27 AM
So... the 2011 poverty line was set at $22,350 for a family of four. I would extend the challenge to anyone who works at American Stinker to live at that level for a single month. Difficulty: do it without any soul-sapping fascistic government socialism.

"Barack Obama's manifold failures over the last three years have left him in a political tough spot as we enter 2012. He will have a challenging time running on a record that has resulted in massive unemployment, stagnant income growth, a record number of people on food stamps, and a gargantuan level of debt that Americans will be paying off for decades after Obama has retired to the golf courses of Hawaii."

NO! NO! NO! See the Right wing's racket is to define the wealthy as anyone making more then 30K a year when talking about taxes and social redistribution, and define anyone not in the top tax bracket as poor when talking about economic growth and job opportunities.

That way you can bash your Democratic opponent for both being a tax and spend Socialist that wants to steal your money, and a do nothing Democrat who is clueless about the economy. Throw in something about Job Creators needing a tax break and you have the Republitard message.

$22,350 is a pretty sweet amount of money to get for just 1 month.
