Anyone who thinks that Obama, or any other politician from either party, gives a shit about the middle class is simply not paying attention. The middle class has been systematically dismantled over the last few decades. Now, the lord rulers are throwing crumbs to the subjects in order to quell their cries.

1. That's a ridiculous statement. The USA middle class is about the same size and has about the same wealth that it always had.
The family wealth numbers are a bit skewed momentarily due to housing crash and people not recovering their lost equity yet. It will recover and all will be fine.

I equate this crazy “wealth inequality” “global warming” liberals screeching numbers they've extrapolated to make their arguments valid.
Silly creatures.

If your income in under 100k you'really ducked because it has not had a break out year in some time. Not one politician focuses in on incomes from 60 to 200k. Either the wealthy or the 47 million on food stamps.

This is the first administration since before Regan to address this issue. Probably too late.

Hep C.

Did you mean Reagan?

I agree with Cap'n Poppy. Your rock beckons. Enjoy your dark and lonely place, devoid of light and knowledge. It's home.

The problem with Hepatitis and the other SA trolls is that they do not understand that the government is not the “do all and be all” for society. They can only make a path and it is up to the people to take that path. These idiotic, socialist commies want to government not only make that path, but to carry them along that path and then tuck them in bed at the end of the path.

Trolls...what opportunities are your South American leaders making for the SA poor?
