Happy days are here again...if you're wealthy.
We are number one--the champs, numero uno, the winners--in income inequality. In fact, it isn't even close--our nearest competitor, the U.K., had the share of income among the top 1% increase by 6%, while we increased by 10%. Seems it's a confluence of cutting taxes for the wealthy and regulations for corporate America...and having the both of them use their extra money to cut their taxes and their regulations even more.
And who got screwed? You and me--they got richer and the trickle down that republicans would have us believe was a foregone conclusion never came close to fruition. (Truth be told, any time you hear about how wealth is going to trickle down you'd better hold onto your wallet or purse--they're bound to be quite a bit lighter monetarily shortly).
And the American dream? Why it ended up in the pockets of the moneyed elite.
And they don't give a good goddamn what kind of future you or your kids have.
Peace,
