Moron, you don't recover from steep recessions like the one Bush43 and the greedy bankers put the USA into in 6 months to a year. Companies are making as much money now as they ever have, thanks to the recovery. If employees at the bottom of the organization chart are not getting promotions and raises, that is not the fault of Obama.

The Bush43 tax cuts were suppose to expire in December 2008 for all tax brackets. The Bush43 tax cuts for the lowest tax brackets are still in effect today. In Jan. 2013 the tax bracket for one percent was increased to 39.6% (the same percentage that it was under Clinton).

Republicans have not done anything to help the 47%.

Republicans in congress have refused to extend unemployment benefits.

Republicans in congress refuse to increase the minimum wage.

Republicans in congress want to rewrite the Dodd/Frank bill to make it easier for Wall Street to participate in risky transactions that caused the Wall Street meltdown in 2008.

Question for you Iffy, does this mean that Whirly and IBH are failures because they blame Obama for the wealth gap between the 47% and the 1%? Originally Posted by flghtr65

the Obama recovery started in June 2009, the average income of the top 1% grew 11.2% in real terms through 2011.

The bottom 99%, in contrast, saw their incomes shrink by 0.4%.

You do not have to have a 6 figure income to open up a Roth IRA, you just need to be in the middle class.

Unanimous agreement? Or maybe you really think you're making a serious attack and then I wonder about your judgement.

The point is Mitt and Jeb are less popular than they were a year ago and not a lock to get the republican nomination. Bush43 ran the USA into a steep recession. Obama and Tim Geitner got the USA out of the recession. The DJIA has gained 10,000 points since Bush43 left office. If your 401k, Roth IRA or favorite mutual fund is not making any money, then fire the fund manager or get a new fund. FYI, institutional traders buy stocks of companies when profits go up now when they go down. Now that Wall Street has been saved companies are making money. Originally Posted by flghtr65

The collapse of the housing market along with bad banking practices caused the recession of 2008. That was caused by the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and fired up by Clinton practices of the mid 1990s, followed up by the democrats refusing to allow Fannie and Freddie to be auditied in 2005. That recession was 90% democrat inspired. Tell me, when exactly did we get out of the recession. Date and year please. The stock market has gained by transferring the wealth of the middle class to the wealthy by spending $85 billion a month (QE II). If you feel richer than you must be one of the rich SOBs. Yes, my 401K has gone up but I know that it is like a sugar high. At some point it will fall off and I hope to have enough of a lead to break even. Of course, I'm hiding money in my mattress just in case.

You know what the top tax rate was 60 years ago? Between 85-90% depending on the year. 39 sounds pretty good doesn't it? Originally Posted by UnderConstruction

The fact remains: the wealth gap between the 1%ers and the 47ers% grew wider, and that happened on Odumbo's watch, flighty; not Bush43's.

At one time the federal tax rate was 1% and that was for people who made their money from investments, stocks, bonds, and the like. The average person who worked for an hourly wage wasn't touched. Why can't we go back to those days? That is your history lesson for the day.

I'm just glad to see folks talking about the widening wealth gap...Some of us have been talking about this for a decade or two. I can't wait to see what the GOP plans doing about it.

All were instances of government creating wealth, especially with the FHA, etc., where they essentially created the white middle class in this country. At one time the black man couldn't vote. Women either. You want to go back to those days? As for your history lesson, you're full of shit, per usual. When the personal tax rate was 1%, like it was from 1913-15, the 1% rate was for people making between $0-$20K. You can check it out in the link provided below. Unlike most of you, I provide factual evidence to back up shit.

Why can't we go back to those days? Because we don't have a time machine, dumbass.

So after all that you're admitting that I was right about the federal income tax in 1913-1915 but you still want to complain. As for going to back to the good old days that was a facetious response to an earlier post. I'll try to remember that you need a sarcasm sign from now on.
