Couple this graph with Bob's clip on the revolving door of lobbyist and public servants, it does not take one long to understand exactly how America's wealth has been stolen, and by whom.
This has to be the central issue facing the 2014 election. Campaign finance reform, return to 1970 tax rates, and an end of divisive and manipulative propaganda which has Americans being fooled to vote against their economic interest. Good things await Americans when we engage our common sense and question the propaganda. It is simple. Those in the 1% have stolen this country's wealth and they have no patriotism, and will leave this country in a New York second, rather than pay their fair share.......well see ya.

I am sorry Chrissy, my Chrissy google translator is not working......so I seldom understand your points or your logic. When it is working, I always give you a golden star for imagination and effort. We fought a revolution over economic exploitation, and it had nothing to do with a fella in Virgina tilling his acre, and everything to do with trade policy which rigged the game and created Americans who were simple indentured servants as manufacturing was exported, and our natural resources were stolen.

The one percent has had their tax burden reduced from the 1970s when the economic theory of trickle down still asked for an equitable contribution from the same. The biggest theft and decimation of the American middle class happened when trickle down did not happen and the 1% monetized the export of 50k factories and created the largest wealth gap in American history......as PK argues....bad ideas fail. So those who have stolen the wealth with a bought and paid for congress now have to pay more taxes.....boo hoo boo hoo.
2seaoat wrote:The transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top 1% could only happen by law. The law written by a Congress bought and paid for with special interest loopholes and subsidy. You argue that the poor and middle class should pay more tax but you have not even attempted to comprehend Dream's chart.
A small community outside Birmingham starting in the 1880s making cast iron widgets. The workers, managers, and community contributed innovative methods to improve the products and increase productivity. The community educated the workforce, and the workers for a hundred years made improvements and all prospered. The owner facing progressive tax rates took his profit and reinvested the same in the factory. The workers median income progressed as productivity progressed. Then in the early 1980s America decided to let the very rich not pay their fare share. With the Patco strike war on labor began. Manufacturing began to leave the communities which built the business. First, they simply moved within the country, but as Congress was bought and paid for, these factories lock, stock, and barrel were moved out of the country. The obscene profits from this move were not taxed at historical rates. The workers saw median income drop and communities were left in crisis. The owners of the company no longer reinvested in America and their community but their wealth was fungible and had not patriotism or country. America had been stolen, and the shills continued to work in congress to divide the country and blame poverty and the great racial divide where bumpkins without grasp of math or history opened their pockets to be picked rather than view with reality the dire state of American Politics.

About 10 trillion loss in income revenue since 1982, and a 17 trillion dollar debt which was largely created by the movement of our factories to third world countries and the wealth generated from the same lost as production of goods was replaced by fungible monetization of our collective assets. A military industrial complex which took 5 trillion to bring profit to the few, and continued corporate subsidy which bleeds America dry. If they had a mask and gun it would be less offensive than the turning of once honorable men into corporate whores who sold America for a piece of gold. Watch Bob's video clip and tell me I am wrong. Please tell me anything in his clip is incorrect or not documented. Watch the entire interview.....not 30 seconds.

Please, I asked you to be specific instead of whining.
How did we have a $500 billion a year loss in revenue when revenues increased each year after President Ronald Reagan took office.
What President has increased our Debt more than President Barack Hussein Obama? And, it has three years to run up more being pushed by ObamaCare.
What corporate subsidy? We have the highest corporate taxes in the world driving corporations off shore. How is that good for America?
