A new study shows that wealth disparity has been accelerating in the two years since the recession ended. The study by the Pew Research Center underscored other data showing that the economic growth that has followed the Great Recession has benefited mainly those at the top.

Quite the eye opening chart.

Turns out he's the capitalist's best friend.

The rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Anyone seeing the new claims for assistance, numbers of people on food stamps etc. knows this. No problem, says the left, people on unemployment and more going on food stamps is a great stimulus to the economy.

Supporters of Obama herin, have been arguing that he's "the capitalist's best friend", for years now. It's been the Fox/GOPian loons that've been shouting otherwise.

For what it's worth by the way, objectives assign the recent growth in the richer people's net worths of late, to the fact of their being more invested in the market. And as we know, the market's done well.

Obama callled for a minimum wage increase to help the working poor, but you Wingers cried like little girls whose candy has been stolen.

If Mr. Obama were to take the dramatic steps that would be required to narrow the yawning wealth/income gap in this country, by transferring wealth from the rich to the poor and the middle class, one can only imagine what people like you and Dino would be saying.

The only people who think Obama is a Socialist are the dupes who have guzzle down Faux Noise swill and Beckian nonsense. From the very beginning it has been clear that Obama isn't even a liberal and that's by the weak standards of what passes for liberal these days. In many aspects his administration has been much more conservative than that or Ronald Reagan. He only seems to be a socialist in comparison to the radical right wingers of today. Who it could be said are the most reactionary group to have ever gained power in this country since the rise of the Confederacy.
