“Homelessness has soared since Obama became President, this is the hidden message Bennett is sending.”
You may be right. I interpret it another way: this is proof positive that trickle-down economics doesn’t work. Rewarding the investors and “job-creators” hasn’t done a ding-dang thing to creat jobs, unless you count China.
Anyone man enough to stand up and admit that Republican economic policies of borrow-and-spend/reward the rich and all the boats will float higher just turned out to be an expensive, failed experiment? Don’t all try at once, there’s plenty of time…..
It’s about income inequality in America, one of the worst industrialized nations at present, and we can thank Republicans, deregulation, tax tables that now castrate the middle class to feed the rich " mountain oysters" and champaign.
The economy IS picking up, home building and sales are now picking up in much of the country, and yet we still need to do more to “even the odds” and reduce the differential in incomes and opportunities, even if it does mean folks like the Bushes and Romneys have to pull the platinum spoons from their mouths and feed the pot that IS the national coffers.
$240,000 per year divided by 12 months = $20,000 per month. Take-home at $8,000 per month means $12,000 in taxes or a rate of 60%. Do I have that right? Is there a point to your post?Oh, I think I get it. You’re being facetious.
Bingo! You’ve got it!Or, maybe not. Income mobility in the U.S has been falling for decades & is below most every other developed economy. The moat certain way to become wealthy in the U.S. is to have wealthy parent.PS- Homeless rates went up during 2007-2009, but have not gone up since. Obama isn’t curing the problem, but at least he’s not making it Hoover, err… I mean worse.
