6. Funny Thing

Before I even fired up the computer this morning, sitting outside and contemplating my first cigarette, I was thinking about the difference between the Great Depression and the apparently now named Great Recession. Question, if the economy is so bad, how come the rich got richer? That did not happen in the Great Depression. Why are the people who got richer attacking the President? And before I stubbed out that smoke, how in heaven's name did the Republicans create a feeling of victim hood in the rich by creating envy for the poor?
