Income Inequality Rose Most Under President Clinton
http://news.investors.com/Article/59...nton-Obama.htm
Hmmm.
But it turns out that the rich actually got poorer under President Bush, and the income gap has been climbing under Obama.
What's more, the biggest increase in income inequality over the past three decades took place when Democrat Bill Clinton was in the White House.

The house of cards ( people buying stuff they could not afford ) had just started with the magic $1 B of non tax payers money that Clinton pumped into HUD to get people into home ownership. It was a right not a responsibility by Clinton's actions.
With the house of cards just starting to get propped up, nobody could care less of what someone else had, they had it too.
Seems it is in vogue to blame companies that are in business to make money for their personal troubles.
I have seen member posts here that go as far to blame others ( individuals ) for themselves being miserable.
The idea of personal responsibility and accountability has gone away I guess. When did GE or Walmart become a charity ?

It always kills me how things like this aren't reported. It really makes one wonder how much of the total story isn't told to support the liberal MSM's agenda.
The sad part is the average American is more concerned with sports than what is happening to their country.

I seem to recall a couple years ago a major story being broke, not by the major media, but by forums and blogs. It started gaining a lot of traction as more and more people talked about it before the media finally started reporting the issue. Things like this could be handled in the same manner. Post the link anywhere you see people bitching about how the GOP are friends of the rich and the Dems are friends of the poor.

Clinton kicked started Carter's sub prime mortgage fiasco , signed NAFTA into law , and let Bin Laden go free twice after blowing up the USS Cole. Think about these three things alone , and just how much havoc on the economy that just these three decisions have made since.
