DEMOCRATS WHOMP REPUBS
1945 to 1980
Great Middle Class years
Each percentile gained almost evenly in Income-Wealth

1980 Cometh Conservatives
1980=1% owned 20% Total Finanical Wealth
1989=36%-- big 80% increase by stock market Reagan 60% tax Cut for 1%

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

3 conservative presidents over 20 years
created 99,000 net new jobs per month
Carter + Clinton got 222,000 per month over 12 years
Three in a Recession in 9 of 20
Most officials convicted of crimes in history

Three took 1000B of Debt and added on 9000B in 20.
Carter left Reagan 600B Budget and increased by 80% in 8 years.
National Budget apent 6066B from 1930 to 1980 and Reagan prersented 8 budgets total over 7000B in 8.
More in 8 than in prior 50 is a disgrace. Why will D niot tell the people??

Bush increased Spending and Debt by 100% each.
Created two major wars.
Increased Food Stamps to 40% of population families.

1980-2000---Rape Of Middle Class-- Democrats will not tell the people. ??????


Six Years of Total Control left Erupting Volcano but Democrats let them get by with blaming Obama???
How dumb can they get?
