In reply to the discussion: President Obama has done more to help the poor and middle class than any President since LBJ [View all]phleshdef
(11,936 posts)If you take a serious, objective look at the policies this President has signed, it heavily favors the poor and the middle class over the wealthy. The problem, however, is that more needs to be done to tip the scales of wealth distribution back to where it needs to be. But Obama hasn't done anything that's pushed that scale along the other direction. He did raise taxes on the wealthy (with both the ACA and the ultimate tax deal that was recently reached). He has kept taxes lower on the poor and middle class. He has instituted programs targeted specifically at helping the poor and middle class.
Just because you post a bunch of well made graphs and charts doesn't mean you are making a valid point. If you weigh the information of what you just posted against the subject of your post, you almost seem to be saying that Obama has been President for 20-30 years, which is, of course, ridiculous.
