Even as the economy creates jobs, too many Americans find themselves on the sidelines watching as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class are getting squeezed and squeezed, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Thursday.
There is no greater challenge this country has than income inequality. And we must do something about it, he told a news conference on Capitol Hill.
His solution is to keep giving taxpayer money to people who are out of work: There are lots of things that should be done, but the first thing is to make sure that those people who are waiting and waiting to find a job still get the important check that they deserve. Unemployment compensation is something that is good for the economy.

And I scorn all who take the opposite view.
“Isnt Harry a millionaire?”
Yes, and you have to wonder how did a guy holding high office for decades make so much money?
Hmmm. Could corruption have something to do with it?
So, what are you going to do about it, Comrade Harry? MOLON LABE!
Hey Harry: ya FU#$%N CROOK, how about you redistribute some of the millions you’v stolen over the years with your underhanded and illegal abuse of your office for personal gain. I could use a few million.
“It is the greatest inequality to try to make unequal things equal” -Aristotle
Gimme your money, Reid. Otherwise STFU.
Studies show that when it comes to charitable giving libs are tight wads!!
If it wasn’t for buzz words these people couldn’t
speak at all.
..... I dunno ...... how about the total and complete collapse and insolvency of the economy of America? Bet that would be a much greater challenge.
I suggest that some Republican write in jest the “Harry Reid Income Equality Act” that requires all politicians to give all of their wealth to the Federal government and that their incomes be reduced to the minimum wage.
And the Dems have owned the WH and Senate since 2008. If its sooooo bad and all this talk of inequality then D’Rat policies are a failure. Harry is truly.a Grinch.
Even as the economy creates jobs, too many Americans find themselves on the sidelines watching as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class are getting squeezed and squeezedBesides the fact that the economy remains in the steady downward spiral that is the Obama Recession, this is just the same old drumbeat of the Lying Limo Lib Left. Thanks Olog-hai.
Equality is the mantra of the leftists unholy grail.They want to dictate the details of what ‘equality’ means until they deem to change it again and again being the unstable manipulators of their power grabs. Its America that is unwell Harry —no thanks to you and your ilk creating its sickness.
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. Aristotle
It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals Felix Frankfurter
Inequalities of outcome exist because of inequalities of effort.
Orwell encapsulated the whole leftist version of “equality” on Animal Farm, when the “seven commandments” (which included the statement “All animals are equal”) were gradually cut down to a single commandment, which read “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.
I think it was LTC West who said there where 80 devoted communists in congress, if he was wrong it would be that there are many more than 80...
Communists claim the only thing wrong with the history of communism was that it was not done right, so what the Omerika communists have done is take what they consider the best of communism, socialism, fascism, marxism, Stalinist, and put it together.
To this point it seems to be working, even with the disaster of obamacare, they keep pushing...time will tell.
What is Harry’s solution? Re-distribute HIS wealth?
No, he wants to redistribute your wealth, silly.
If we can't get God back in the schools, at least we could bring back Aristotle.
