Since the shameful Bush tax breaks give-away to the rich 11 years ago — that were falsely claimed would create “trickle down” jobs…
-
Unemployment has risen since Bush’s tax breaks were put in place, from 4.7 percent at the start of Bushy’s reign to a high of 9.6 percent, but unemployment has dropped to 8.2 percent since Obama displaced empoorer Boosh.
-
There were 110 million private sector jobs in America in 2001. There are 110 million private sector jobs in America today.
-
Despite a population increase of more than 25 million, there are no more private sector jobs today than when the Bush tax breaks for the rich were rubber-ducky-stamped.
-
The number of Americans living in poverty has increased from 33 million to 44 million.
-
The number of Americans receiving food stamps has risen from 18 million to 46 million.
-
The top 1% in America saw their share of national income increase by more than 13% from 2001 to 2010.
-
The top 0.1% saw their share of income increase by 20%.
-
The top 0.01% saw their share of income skyrocket by more than 37%, from 2.4% of all of the income in America to 3.3%.
The Bush tax breaks for the rich have yielded the most unequal distribution of wealth in American history, even more unequal than that of the late 1920s, which was responsible for triggering the Great Depression.
But the current disparate financial inequality did not start with the Bush tax breaks for the rich. Since the advent of the Reagan trickle down supply side economics lies…
-
Income for the top 1% has increased by $700,000 a year per person,
-
while income for the bottom 90% has declined by $900 a year per person.
-
Between 1992 and 2007, income for the richest 400 Americans increased by 392%, as their taxes dropped by 37%, all while the deficit balloons and the national debt continues to soar, and Republicans now are clamoring to make the tax cuts for the rich permanent.
The shameless Republican goal of the Bush tax breaks for the rich is the social Darwinist eradication of the middle class in America, leaving only the wealthy 1% and the impoverished 99%.
No jobs, no healthcare, no pensions, no homes, no higher education.
Nothing but Republican tea party nutjob anti-evolution, anti-global-warming, pro-creationism, drill-baby-drill, burn-carbon-baby-burn, abstinence-only, bald-faced-racism, women-are-baby-factories social Darwinism. Hispanics, the elderly, the less fortunate, women, and brown-skinned people be damned…
Disclaimer. Yes, we left out of lot of nutjob anti-social misbehavior, but we can’t write a book here…but below is a link to a book on evil Republican fascist social Darwinism…
Link to Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest of the 99%.
If you or someone you know want to “do something” about the deplorable situation, here is a direct link to our new “Do Something” page and here is a direct link to our page on how to create a free website or blog, and here is a link to our “Activism” page; there are similarly named clickable “buttons” at the top of each page to link to these pages. Also, there is a ‘Do Something’ section in the right sidebar that has some different tips on how to fix America and the planet.
