That argument again. All it shows is how well the top 10% have done in recent years. I'd thought Bush jr. had nearly completed the job of the transfer of wealth upward as well as bankrupting the government making cuts inevitable, but it looks like there is more work for them to do. Maybe Mitt will complete the job and the rich can finally have their gated communities and private police.

Europe is slowly rejecting the "austerity" plans because they know they were stolen from by the banks and people can't find work because there is no investment. Things are not so clear here because the Republicans do what ever the top 10% (or 1%) wants as long as they say the right things about patriotism and gun ownership and anti abortion.
