INEQUALITY REAGAN + BUSH

1945--1% owned 30% Total Financial Wealth
1980--20%
1989-36%--gift from Reagan

2008
1%-43%
10%-70%
20%-93%
80%-7% (120,000,000 workers)

20 years of 3 Conservative Presidents got 99,00 Net New Jobs Per Month.
Wall Street Rich got richer Gambling not creating new biz and jobs as in past
Carter + Clinton got 222,000 over 12 years.

In Bush 8 years Wall Street Rich Gamblers sent 2,300,000 of our jobs to just China.

Wall Street-Trust Us-It is legitimate

How can any intelligent person vote to send a Republican to Washington with their record?

Is it possible just that all Repubs are dumb?
