So much for being for the middle class and poor.....

Quote: A new Pew Research Center survey shows most Americans believe President Barack Obama’s two terms in office have favored the rich, and have not benefited the middle class or the poor.

Those negative attitudes are justified by much negative economic data, and could help GOP candidates in 2015 and 2016 who offer a populist criticism of “crony capitalism.”

The data may also nudge the Democrats’ 2016 candidate to run a populist anti-government campaign, despite Obama’s eight-year tenure.

Sixty-six percent of Pew’s 1,504 respondents say “government economic policies since the recession have helped” wealthy people a “great deal” or a “fair amount.” Only 29 percent said the wealthy were helped “not too much/not at all.”

In contrast, only 26 percent of respondents said middle-class people were helped a great deal or a fair amount.

King Zero is a champion of the 1%-ers, and NOT the middle-class (aka the 99-ers)? No freaking way is that true. I suppose you're now going to tell me that water is wet?

Raising taxes on the rich helps the rich and hurts the middle class. It really does.

His policies dont really favor anybody. The short term benefits to the rich are from an artificially inflated stock market. The rest of his policies have only succeeded in shrinking the middle class and putting more people on govt assistance.

Its gonna be an absolute disaster for the next president, dem or rep.

The bigger government gets, the smaller the private sector gets.

The smaller the private sector gets, the smaller the middle class gets.

This is not hard.
