They know how to make money? I thought that was a good thing? I thought all Democrats were welfare check cashing bums?

The article's premise is totally false, POTUS has little to do with income distribution, Congress sure does though. Yet under Clinton the maximum tax rate was about double what it is today. We had a surplus and a middle class, those were the days.

...and we had a Republican congress during the period that Clinton had the surplus. So I guess Congress does matter.

But no tea party, and the people in Congress back then actually governed. But then Clinton is white.

Clinton did not have a bunch of anti-Americans in the Republican Party like they do today.
