Obama "trickle down" doesn't trickle. Helps the rich

Further bolstering the economic gap of the 1% (Obama is determined to make it the 2%) soaring wealth has not affected the economy in general. Retailer have been forced to cut hours for employees in order to avoid the crippling costs for Obamacare, just so they can continue to provde any jobs at all.

Obama has boosted the wealth of America's wealthiest people, at the same time expanding the percentage of the nation's poor. Millions of people have been added to the welfare and food stamp programs since Obama took office. Even Republicans lately had to join Dems in keeping the expanded food stamp program in place. They simply could not be responsible for the starvation of children and elderly people

We could coin a new phrase for this...

"The rich get richer, the poor get poorer"

Nearly 1/3 of Americans now receive some form of government aid to their families in order to avoid having their children or elderly parents starve to death in Obama's America. 47% of Americans do not make enough money to be obligated to pay income tax.

Americans trying to expose the oppression of the Obama regime are now finding refuge in the Former Soviet Union.

It is a brave new world!

I thought the rich were the job creators and trickle down was a Republican economic platform?

You mean that it doesn't work...for heavens sake.

Funny that this was Romney's plan for the next four years and now it totally sucks?

I totally agree...lol

Interesting, isn't it? Guess what economic platform they'll run on in 2014 and 2016.

It will be the "whatever they ain't doin, we'll be doin that" platform.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

It will be the "whatever they ain't doin, we'll be doin that" platform.

They'll run on the same "make the rich richer and it'll trickle down to you" platform that they've been running on for decades. It's clear to anyone with a brain that this plan ain't working but they're obviously not after voters with a brain.

Yay! Another left wing circle jerk.

I know. It's not your fault. Public schools did it to you.

Hard to believe, but Republicans can be wrong. Someone should tell Obama.

I would say that Obama has disappointed me on a number of levels, but the economy isn't one of them. No president has the power to transform an economy from the spiral we were in to pure economic bliss. Especially in only 4 years?

On drone attacks, the continuation of domestic spying, immigration and leaning so far right, yes I do have some issues.

Yet some think he's a communist or socialist? He's the worst millionaire loving communist in history. If anything he's been too fair.

Sure. Republicans need to convince Dems to vote for them so they can win.

When they do...they will be able to use the IRS to defund their enemies because we did nothing to change the system to stop it. They wil be able to cut your health care benefits because we put them in charge of healthcare, they will be able to spy on you and read your emails because we allowed Obama to get away with continuing what Republicans started.

Hahaha...they can do ALL that already.

Face it, there are a number of CIA black sites in about 15 other Countries they could rendition you to without a warrant and nobody would know you were even there.

It's all in the Patriot Act. It's been done, and it's perfectly legal.

Health insurance and the IRS are the least of your worries.

Agreed. It's especially hilarious to see how surprised or even outraged some appear to be that the president is a politician.

Since all the manufactured "scandals" didn't seem to stick they've fallen back to "the ACA will destroy America, the rich got richer, spying on America is bad and Obama's trip costs how much?"

The Republican's couldn't have had a better friend in the Whitehouse. Just imagine all the stupid ####### they'd do if Romney was elected? They'd never recover from that brain trust in charge 4 years. Him and the Ayn Rand wonder boy would have truly made us a "safe" nation I have no doubt.

They should be glad someone restrained their idiotic ideas.

There's a big difference between "defunding" people and rejecting them for tax exempt status. Personally, while I definitely believe the rules should be applied equally and fairly, I can't figure out why these obviously-political groups (of ANY political stripe) are getting tax exempt status in the first place. If I go on GoFundMe to try to raise money to pay for medical treatment, for example, I have to pay taxes on the money I'm given. Why do they get a break?

Regarding health care: Though I'm no fan of the ACA, I'd rather have the government in charge of healthcare because at least we have some sort of accountability (I'd like to see much more not-for-profit involvement though... at the very least, like Germany has). Right now my employer or my insurance company could "cut my health care benefits" and what exactly could I do about that? Quit my job and ask to see a detailed breakdown of insurance policy options in the middle of the interview with potential employers? Complain to the insurance company? If anything, the problem as I see it isn't that we "put government in charge of healthcare", it's that we're looking at our current system and admitting it doesn't work, but instead of trying something new we're just making everyone buy into the broken one.
