I think the actual source and my own understanding show the truth better than that article
I don't know who Alexander Eichler is, but his interpretations are just that. Guess work, without facts. I don't find any data from the CBO listing any income distribution beyond 2009. We know that all lands on Bush. Bush caused the disparity and his tax cut is the reason. Denying this is futile, there is no data at present to argue otherwise.
The only reasoning I accept is that which shows the data, gives the account of context and is reliable over time. The CBO qualifies. If by some chance, there is data from the CBO, which I couldn't find, please show it.

Then they would have to be genius level. From the level of your posting, an impossibility. 45476. concerned - 12/3/2012 6:09:53 AM A poster elsewhere did a good job of describing how uncritical you Lefties are of 0bama:
Obama could forcibly sodomize, cook and eat a blind puppy on national TV and his supporters would claim he was the first person ever who was smart enough to simultaneously promote alternative sex lifestyles, animal rights, paleo-diets and the plight of the seeing disabled.
You're hardly the sharpest tools in 0bama's drawers.

Talk about tools! If you are being coddled at sites where people post like THAT (45476) then I suggest you've found a new home and one to which your lofty intellect is much more suited.
Sheesh...no wonder your ego is so underservedly big. You must feel like a MENSA member at THAT site! 45480.

Please.
WASHINGTON -- Nearly two years after Wall Street waged a successful campaign to keep consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren from running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the incoming senator will be tapped to serve on the Banking Committee, according to four sources familiar with the situation. It's a victory for progressives who battled to win her a seat on the panel that oversees the implementation of Dodd-Frank and other banking regulations.

A United Nations treaty to ban discrimination against people with disabilities went down to defeat in the Senate on Tuesday in a 61-38 vote.
The treaty backed by President Obama and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kansas) fell 5 votes short of the two-thirds needed for confirmation as dozens of Senate Republicans objected that it would create new abortion rights and impede the ability of people to home-school disabled children.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) argued the treaty would infringe on U.S. sovereignty, an argument echoed by other opponents.
“This unelected bureaucratic body would pass recommendations that would be forced upon the United States if we were a signatory,” he said.

Longish obit. My Texan soul weeps reading it and thinking of some of the pathetic creatures we send to Washington nowadays.
Blue Texas in 2020. Pass it on!
45486. robertjayb - 12/5/2012 7:31:10 PM Well, I botched the link. Will try again.
While puzzling over this I learned of the death of another admirable man. "Take Five" to remember Dave Brubeck. 45487. judithathome - 12/5/2012 7:48:28 PM I'm with you on the Blue Texas....we dreamers need to stick together! 45488. robertjayb - 12/5/2012 7:52:49 PM Jack Brooks
Maybe??? 45489. Wombat - 12/5/2012 9:38:09 PM I think I'll miss Dave Brubeck more, not being a Texas politics afficianado. 45490. Wombat - 12/5/2012 9:43:47 PM 49% of Republicans reportedly believe that Acorn helped steal THIS election. The Tea Party effect continues to lower the national IQ. 45491. judithathome - 12/5/2012 11:26:07 PM It's absolutely insane that they believe this...ACORN isn't even ACTIVE any longer! 45492. bhelpuri - 12/6/2012 1:23:45 PM Ah Dave Brubeck. Since this is the Politics thread, let's remember he was sent by the USIS on a global "win over the natives tour" when he visited Bombay, India (my very young parents were in attendance as a secret couple) and learned the very same riff that powers Take Five.
See: Battleground Bombay: Hot Jazz and the Cold War http://www.tajmahalfoxtrot.com/?p=961 45493. bhelpuri - 12/6/2012 1:25:30 PM Glad to see Brubeck remembered. I will be playing his music (but not Take Five) very loud this evening on the Mandovi riverfront.
