That's why Obama wants to change the tax rates.

1. Nah, just another example of some people wanting to blame Obama for everything.

Look around DU, you'll find plenty of them.

9. Poor Obama.

So helpless.

What a shame that he was forced against his will to appoint so many neo-liberals and adopt right wing economic policies.

12. What a shame people didn't see that happening a mile away.

13. You make my point when you refuse to engage in reality-based dialog.

Out-of-context numbers, mockery, and strawmen are not debate.

15. on a related note, my mother forwarded me a story about the decommissioning of the shuttles

and, of course, in the comments, they were blaming Obama for the end of the program.

Had he continued it, the same people would be blaming him for sending, almost literally, billions of dollars into space for "nothing" ...

2. Pretty much

It's been heading that way for a while. There are still some good reads, but the headline writing is excrutiating in its right wingedness. ok, I made up that word.

3. They really have been going after President Obama over there.

4. That was quite a content-free "article"

For instance: in made no attempt to actually explain the numbers it presented. It certainly didn't bother to say WHY inequality is so bad right now.

5. Let's not forget all the Hollywood sensationalism.n/t

7. Is this a rhetorical question?

Not your post. I mean mine. Is it? Don't answer that.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

8. Right wing?

Since when do they cover politics. I thought it was TMZ lite.

10. The US economy is broken and trending bad

and so the income inequality gap is getting ever wider and more disparate. This has been happening for years now. The fault all can't be laid at the feet of Obama, but something radical needs to change soon to stop this trend. Like a radical shift to the left and progressive policies, raise the tax rates on the rich substantially, make the corporations pay their fair share of taxes, etc.

Continuing business as usual with minor adjustments to the status quo simply won't cut it anymore.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. I don't think so.

I think it is really balanced, actually.

14. He could have gotten rid of Chimpy's tax cuts 2 years ago.

[Odin2005]

16. It's a tabloid rag full of BS and snake oil salesment like Deepak Chopra.
