TYT: Rich Got Richer Under Obama & The GOP Won't Let You Forget It

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"As the Washington political mill began churning in January, one potential presidential candidate issued a missive that took on the issue of income inequality with particular eloquence. “Millions of our fellow citizens across the broad middle class feel as if the American Dream is now out of their reach,” it said, “that our politics are petty and broken; that opportunities are elusive; and that the playing field is no longer fair or level.”

It wasn't an excerpt from progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren's book or a pitch from Vice President Joe Biden for a middle-class tax break. It was part of a manifesto on the website of Right to Rise, the political-action committee formed by Republican Jeb Bush.

With wages stagnant, concern about wealth distribution increasing, and the president embarking on an aggressive push for the middle class, Republicans aren't just talking about lower taxes and a rising tide lifting all boats. They are making their pitch explicit, with a little help from Democratic rhetoric. They're the right ones to tackle income inequality, they argue, and they won't be afraid to say it."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. The two biggest clowns in the world today....

If they weren't so powerful at destroying this country for the middle class and those striving to make the middle class, they would be funny as hell. "Delusional" doesn't express it enough. These jack asses say this shit with a straight face, and they aren't trying to be funny. They are simply trying to persuade the naive and ignorant American "voter" to swallow their shit and support their nonsense that actually poisons the progress that this country should be enjoying.

It is absolutely INSULTING that these two stooges can sit in front of national television and spew this absolute NONSENSE with a straight face, as though they really give a rat's ass about the 99%...and it's further insulting that so many dumb ass people can absorb this mythical crap and think these fart-brains and their gop-ers really care about them OR their country. Insulting! ...not one bit funny.

2. Excellent skewering of the GOP by Cenk

Those clowns write their own jokes; yet they don't get the joke, let alone see the irony.

3. cant agree with Cenk a 100% here

Prez Obama could have proposed stronger measures to assist underwater homeowners and an even higher higher minimum wage etc. BUT would they have become the law of the land with Boner and the Turtle on duty? Any answer other than NO is incorrect I'm sad to say.

Progressive rhetoric absolutely has to be trumpeted loud and clear but oftentimes political reality is the sad truth of what happens in 'Merica...
