The truth is that while middle class incomes are virtually the same these past ten years, the wealth of the 1% has grown off the charts.
If Romney were to reinstate the policies of cutting taxes while expanding the defense budget at the same time, not only would there be more debt, but also income equality would persist and grow even more so.

I want the middle class to thrive. And that only happens with a level playing field, education, investment in infra-structure, and research and development. That was Clinton's approach. And it worked.
