You can thank obama for that with his wallstreet bailouts.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/price-tag-for-wall-street-bailout-goes-up/2012/02/13/gIQAUdB3BR_story.html

The Obama administration has repeatedly boasted how the historic rescue of Wall Street will cost taxpayers far less than originally expected. But the budget proposal released Monday came with some unwelcome news: The price tag of the bailout is suddenly going up

obama bailed out wallstreet and kicked us out to main street where we will soon be waiting in lines for food stamps.

This is proof positive the direction our nation is going . . . . . back to the gilded age? The numbers substantiate that and as posted in another thread it is wealth redistribution in reverse. The wealth of our nation is slowly being consolidated among the wealthiest and no end in sight. Romney stands for who? We all know the reason don't we?

you cant hide the fact that obama created this situation. You dont know what romney would do. to think he is for the wealthy only is nothing but regurgitated left wing memos. try not to deflect the topic.

fact is, you do know what obama will do and you know the outcome. This is the outcome, obama created it.

JUST SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT...I will say it one more time. The bailout of Wall Street happened in October 2008, THREE MONTHS before Obama took office. You are so uninformed it's laughable.

Ain't that the truth? I'm no economics scholar but you'd have to be blind not to see where this is going.

Take a deep breath. President Obama will get a second term. The problem of the median income index is not President Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, or Nixon's individual problem. They could not have in any of their presidencies stopped the trend.....they however, could have slowed the decline. Much of the lost wealth of this nation is structural, but when you have special interests working over congress for 40 years you have the formula for our decline.....so when you suggest that Obama created this situation, you simply are not being intellectually honest, or you are so blinded by your fears of Obama, your cognitive skills decline when ever you reference him.

"Forbes attributed the growth in net worth in part to the performance of the stock market and a recovering real estate market."

Of course, we all know the stimulus didn't work,eh?

We of the sinking middle class may sink without
further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably
when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after
all, we have nothing to lose.

Who did they redistribute their wealth from? Did the government take money from "the poor" and give it to Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or any of the others on this list. What happened to the America where we celebrated success business people?

I don't have a problem w/ successful business people. I have a problem w/ them not paying their fair share.

Well if they use the IRS laws that exist and pay what it demands then what's the problem ?

Actually the wealth came from the middle class in the form of stagnant wages over several decades, trade policies that sent good jobs overseas to reduce overhead and a myriad of tax loopholes especially designed to benefit the top earners.

It is a trickle up system that is paying off big time for the top few percent. Don't make it sound so innocent, like the poor have no money so how could this possibly happen. Take a look at the wealth distribution figures over the past 50 or so years and you can see the shift.

The problem is the big dogs wrote the tax laws. They lobbied for special treatment, special specific loopholes that would benefit their particular lines of work.

It is easy to win a game when you get to write the rules.

I don't see how criminality comes into the equation if they wrote the laws in their favor and against a sector.Remember the famous words of Leona Helmsley "only the little people pay taxes".

if you think obama is against wallstreet, you would be wrong. btw. obama as a senator voted for the wallstreet bailout.

and he has since continued to bail them out.

How can you be so sure of yourself and so completely uninformed at the same time? You are utterly ridiculous blaming the financial crisis on Obama. He hadn't taken office when it happened...not til FOUR MONTHS LATER. At least get your facts straight before you go running off at the mouth...again. It was BUSH that almost took our country to the brink, and if you're too stupid to see that Romney is no different than Bush, probably worse, if that's possible, I feel sorry for you because something is wrong with your head. OK, we already knew that.
