Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
I'm not a socialist - don't believe in free college for all like Bernie. So I'm not sure why I should hate your graph.
Don't know of anyone who denies its general truth.
However the really poor are poorer and the really rich are swimming in it.

The great majority of liberals are no more socialists than the average conservative is. In fact, I don't know that I've ever personally known anyone who advocated socialism. Accusing most liberals of being socialists, based on what they advocate or the causes they support, makes no logical sense. Racial, religious and gender equality? Reproductive freedom? Drug legalization? Assisted suicide? What do those things have to do, in any way, with being anti-capitalistic?

Why is it liberals always seem to jump in with distractions when comparisons between socialism and capitalism are made. Why be defensive if, as you claim, you're not socialists?

Horrible - that you think things are going great is telling.
Around 3 trillion in additional deficit spending, trashing of the environment, unleashing big banks and their predatory and high risk practices, messing with states rights, protectionist withdrawal from everything policies that have isolated us from our allies and from the world, ceding alt energy development (our future) to China ..
Would you like me to continue?
