It's like you're creating reasons to be offended.

For CEO's the inequality is magnified, but they are not a lot of people who are CEO's.

A lot of good things happened to workers since 2009, the year Obama took office, if I recall.

I am not trying to create offence, I am trying to create perspective.

...... and since Obama had just taken office, that would place the burden more on the Bush administration, n'est-ce pas?
