Top 1% Captured 93% Of Income Gains In 2010
Just think of the gains the top 1% will get when these Ayn Rand libertarian "free market" types get what they want...

The richest 1% of Americans captured 93% of income gains in 2010. What about the bottom 90%? Should we blame President Bush or President Obama? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Well, according to Repuclicans the economy should be fine, because first we must help the 'job creators.' They seem to be doing just fine, now if only they'd create some fucking jobs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

The fuckers eliminate jobs to boost their stock options.

Just a little more of that 'invisible hand of the market shit' they like to talk about.
