Unfortunately that is no long the case. Media concentration and the need for people who would be willing to stand for election to raise enormous amounts of money have broken the system. The money raised from engaged voters just gets directed immediately to the media political apparatchiks for advertising.<br /><br />There is a small but mighty tier now that sucks all the capital out of small and medium sized businesses.

Further, the time frame given, '99 to '11 is pretty darn small and smacks of being cherry picked. What are numbers over the last decade or two, or the last fifty years?<br /><br />Every other point listed says NOTHING about the income of the 'poor' decreasing, only about the rich getting richer. Rich people making money does not make poor people poorer, it just makes socialists jealous.<br /><br />American 'poor' have better housing, health care, education and diets than many 'middle class' in many other countries, not to mention cars, cell phones, video games, etc, etc. <br /><br />This is one of the sorriest posts I have ever seen fro a person purporting to be conservative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
