"with the recent Obama increases clawing back only a fraction of the previous cuts:"

I would say that since the Obama "increases" actually made the "previous cuts" PERMANENT. That a better way to say it would be

"With even Obama, most Democrats, and Paul Krugman supporting the recent permanent tax cuts which were passed for the rich."

And inequality, in spite of Krugman's OWS rhetoric, is not all about the 1% and the 99%

The 5% will be doing fine regardless as well.

And the 20% generally does better than the lower 80%.
