American dream dying under Obama? - Tea Party
Scorecard of 10 indicators shows Americans worse off since 2009
(Dr. Jerome Corsi) Are you better off today economically than you were when President Obama took office in January 2009?
That question remains the litmus test for electoral politics as the U.S. prepares to move into the 2014 mid-term election cycle.
You mean what Republicans turned over to Obama? It was a "dream" all right. A "nightmare".
So them Pubs timed it just right that when Bush left office, Dufus wad screwed things up

That question remains the litmus test for electoral politics as the U.S. prepares to move into the 2014 mid-term election cycle.- incomes of the top 1% of Americans grew by an average of 275%According to the Congressional Budget Office, between 1979 and 2007 incomes of the top 1% of Americans grew by an average of 275% ..... Since 1979 the average pre-tax income for the bottom 90% of households has decreased by $900, while that of the top 1% increased by over $700,000, as federal taxation became less progressive.
From 1992-2007 the top 400 income earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392% and their average tax rate reduced by 37%. In 2009, the average income of the top 1% was $960,000 with a minimum income of $343,927.

- that of the top 1% increased by over $700,000
- the top 400 income earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392% and their average tax rate reduced by 37%
Based on the data from the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1% are doing just fine and living the American Dream - but for the rest of us it died with the election of Ronald Reagan and the introduction by the GOP of a regressive tax system.
I wouldn't condemn them all just yet. Some seem to have good morals and ethics. However, nobody in Congress appears to have the balls to initiate impeachment proceedings against the wretched excuse for a President that we have.It is not Obama. He is certainly not helping matters, but the core of the problem is not one man.
It is 535 men and women in the two houses. Nearly every single one is corrupt, inept and weighs their decisions to benefit the few, not the many.
And Americans are so trained by their party affiliations that we continue to vote in the same people.
Nay, the American dream is suffering because of us.

It is nothing more than tenacious party affiliation that keeps true progress from being made. "Progressive" is a misnomer applied to the liberal movement that is championed by Obama and his party members. "Communism" would be closer to the truth.
Being an enemy of communism and socialism, the Republican party should be expected to oppose just about anything favored by our present President.
I think this is why NOTHING GETS DONE. We are paying large salaries to entrenched do-nothings that get re-elected based on continuous lies and promises that they will do something...next time.
Term limits might solve some of this mess. At least we should insist that their salaries are decreased and that they lose the ability to exempt themselves from the laws they pass for the rest of us.
Congress has gone from "serving the people" to being "served by the people".
