HROT economic question...

If you insist on using a century of data, the answer appears to be no. I might suggest that's a meaningless negative however.

I don't know about the Income gap, even though I was once an economist for...........

But, I am certain the America's standards, both educational and societal have been
DUMBED-down over say, the past 7 years.

The answer is yes actually. Doesn't matter how it got to the point it is at, it's higher than ever at this time.

We disagree How it got to that point seems to be a rather monumental concern. And pushing the timeline back doesn't help make your analysis appear more sound or less in need of support.
 
It's that dang ole colored president huh Jim Bob.

Yes...it's we're all dumber because he's black. That's EXACTLY it.

But isn't Obama 1/2 white? Thank GOD! Think how stupid we'd be today if he was 100% black!

That's what I remind myself every day as I head off to the Klan rallies or my go about my cross burnings.

Wealth gap, all time high, now. Prime wins again, just as be always does.
You likely wouldn't have such a hard time with this fact, if there was a Red Teamer in the Oval Office.

We have a red team running the economy. Who do you think sets tax and trade and spending policy. Link to the historic achievement?

Look who stood directly behind the Fed in support as they used QE to increase the wealth gap. Did he not sign in the Stimulus as well? Didn't he sell companies to Italy and China for us as well? Isn't the ACA directly affecting the economy negatively as well?

You can never beat me.

Apparently you've already given up on proving anything. Seems to be a common theme for folks on your team.
 
You realized I always addressed this, right?


LOL! You sound like a broken record. I used to think of you as someone above average in intelligence, that just likes to be a troll. Now I just realize that you're an idiot who trolls as a last defense.
More deflecting. If this is all you got you should run along home boy.
 
What am I deflecting? I don't even know what you're discussing. I just see trends. :D

It's why I'm going to be brilliant in the financial industry.
Your optimism is charming, like the boy who fancies himself Superman. Go get 'em tiger!

My optimism aside, I like being here because it increases my bulls*** detector, plus it allows me to learn how to manipulate people. Both are paramount to being successful. I figured you out a long time ago. You aren't very difficult. Maybe it's my years of dealing with forty people every day, six, and sometimes seven, days a week. You obviously learn a lot about human nature by engaging humans.

It's cute the way you pull on my pant leg. You're a good boy you are. Now do a trick.

I've read this entire thread twice and I can't for the life of me figure out what you guys are arguing about. Could somebody clear this up?

I think we're just having a pissing contest. We all think the income gap is growing. Some think FDR is to blame, others think Obama. I appreciate that they feel it's blame worthy while on a mission to get them to show their work and entertaining myself.
 
There's really no arguing. I ask Natural a question and he goes all crazy on me. It isn't like I make the questions difficult. They are, a lot of time, yes or no questions.
If by crazy you mean providing a researched direct answer. The world should be so crazy.

Ok...maybe I'm totally off the mark...but doesn't natural AGREE that the wealth gap is higher now? WTH am I missing here?
