5. What Clinton did only worked for the top 20% or so |
|
We saw more wealth concentration under Clinton than under Reagan/Bush.
I'm afraid DLC inspired procorporate and antilabor business as usual is simply not going to fix Bush's bungling. The only thing that will is recirculating wealth that has stagnated at the top into the hands of the people who will spend it. That is what creats most jobs, not rich people doling them out to useless eaters out of the goodness of their hearts.
Stupid supply side fiscal bungling has now just about choked off the market economy. Had Clinton remained in office for another term, the same thing would likely be happening, albeit at a slower pace.
I think the Democrats may dimly realize what needs to be done. It reamains to be seen whether or not they have the guts to do it.
If not, we're headed for a full blown depression.

Under Clinton we saw increased average real wages across all segments. The rising tide did lift all boats. Not so under Reagan/Bush/Bush*.
Yes, the rich got much richer, but that was based on the soaring stock market, not on tax giveaways and favoritism. Since the rich own most of the stocks, they got most of the boost from the market. Duh!

He needs to be disgraced, cashiered, and convicted for the looting of America and Iraq.

When encountering obstacles, there are only three options: cut its taxes, blow it up or convert it to Christianity.

8. cut taxes for wealthy... |

Hell, he should just take the taax money from poor and funnel the proceeds to the wealthy. Oh, wait, he's already doing that through corporate tax breaks.

the best thing he could do would be to eat a bag of pretzels and let nature take its course.
