Despite claims about socialism, the richer are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.

Seems like the only income redistribution that's happening is upwards. How interesting

The income gap is getting a lot bigger as Obama's economic agenda strangles the middle class.

Taking from the working middle class and giving to the illegals is killing the tax base. Taking from the middle class through Obamacare and giving to the takers is making the middleclass poor. There will be NO BUYING POWER and NO TAX BASE.. Obama's words are useless when his policies are destroying the economy.

Well wealth sharing since the mid 60's has discouraged work so why would we not expect more to be at the bottom. There is no middle class on welfare; its the bottom no matter now much to raise it.Others will have to be paid more for working. that can contribute which is what pays for welfare programs.

The reason why the poor are poorer is because they are getting more wealth????????

What do you think happens when government gives more people less money who are on welfare? Do you expect more people to make more money by some magical multiplication that people become richer?

The stimulus bill included tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars to perpetuate poverty for the poor.. Yes, more money going to more people, spread out, equates to more people being poor because in order for them to collect the support they have to remain poor.
