While I don't disagree that the economy overall is working well for the relative minority, where you and I may differ is where that minority is. I think it's working great for lobbyists and the "inside the beltway" crowd. Witness the per capita income growth of DC and surrounding states. That's the banana republic stuff IMHO.
