Priceless...drmilled and the righties who have been crying about Socialism and "spreading the wealth around" are now upset the president has not succeeded in those efforts. Tell us, doc, do you want the wealth to be spread around or not? Right now the corners of your mouth are fighting with each other.
Some people recognize income inequality as a legitimate problem that needs to be solved. Some people dont. When the Pope spoke about income inequality recently every right wing pundit had a stroke...calling him some kind of leftist radical. That should tell you alot.
Our country has two different parties with fundamentally different answers to these questions...
- should we raise minimum wage to historic levels? Or just tell those lazy workers to get a better job?
- should investors continue to pay smaller tax rates than workers or not?
- should all people be able to see a doctor when they are sick or is that a privilege for only those who can pay for it?
- should we give tax incentives or penalties to companies that offshore jobs to sweatshops in third world countries?
- should we put workers at the mercy of their employer or should they be allowed to organize and have a collective voice?
- should we have big government programs to build ladders of opportunity for the underprivileged...or is that a waste of taxdollars?
I expect the president to talk about income inequality at great length in the upcoming state of the union address...and i expect all of his right wing opponents to cry bloody murder afterwards. Watch.
