Kramer: After 35 years we will finally get trickled on in 2015

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/01/02/1355207/-The-stupidest-quote-to-start-2015

Today, for reasons best left unexplored, chose to have Cramer pop by on New Year's Day to give his predictions of life in the future ... future ... future. Among other zingers, Cramer slipped in this.

Companies did very well, the labor market tightened (our unemployment rate is still falling, and is technically what's defined as "full employment&quot , and wages rose. I know it kills a lot of DU narratives to say that the NAFTA-era economy was good, but it was in fact really good for workers, just about the only time in the last 40 years that was.

Now, we need to get back fully to the Clinton-era tax rates (we've gone back somewhat, but not all the way), but once we do that things will be even better.

Show him some trickle down. He is a complete and total asshole. In 2001, he made a rather shitty remark about Bon Jovi playing after the 9/11 attacks.
