Agelbert NOTE: This comment corrects the 'free' market fundamentalist bias of the article it references with FACTS.

Extremely oversimplified.  90's were "right" and 2000s were "left?"  As I recall, we got an extremely right-wing administration in 2000 through what amounted to a coup wherein the right-wing governor of a state basically put his right-wing brother and his very right-wing handlers in the White House through election shenanigans.  Oh, and that state had been decided for the other guy until the right-wing cousin on the right-wing network announced, "No, wait a minute! Something is up in my right-wing cousin's state!"

That was the moment when we officially became a right-wing banana republic  after several decades of swinging  right.

Medicare Part D was a cash grab by private insurers.  No Child Left a Dime was robbery.  WeDontSayHisName-Feingold was a joke, a way to give PACs all the power.

Oh, and those two trillion-dollar wars.

But hey, I guess it was the leftists sticking up for the working man that stole all the working man's money, right?  Like forcing people to buy private health insurance.  That was sooo leftist. 

We've been a right-wing warmongering banana republic with nukes for 40+ years, man.  That's why all the money's gone even after Social Security was pillaged.  Al Gore was pointing out a real problem with all his talk of a "lock box."  They raided all that money we workers put in all our lives and used it to pay for boondoggle **** planes like the F-22 and F-35 and wars we didn't need to be in.
 
 The last marginally left wing administration was JFK and before that FDR.

The one thing you're right about is that this wealth gap has become so insane that there will be genuine upheaval when the music stops. You won't want to be living in a rich neighborhood when hunger sets in, but how do you think the wealth gap grew so much in the past 40 years? Duh. It damn sure wasn't leftists redistributing wealth and standing up for the common working man. You think Obama was a leftist?  ****, you are an NPC and the one whose program makes him retarded at that.
