To the Editor:
Local politicians have been given their talking points in the presidential contest, but none more risible than Vice President Biden’s former economic advisor who parrots the liberal line about Democrats’ economic policies helping the poor and middle class. Maybe they did so under FDR or LBJ, but not lately. Income inequality has risen to an unprecedented level under the Obama presidency as the “Occupy” movement attests. The White House and Senate were in Democrat hands when the Obama Administration forcibly removed the Occupiers. How quickly did Hillary Clinton reject Bernie Sanders’ call to reinstitute the Glass-Steagall Act while asset values and stocks climb under Obama, yet wages stagnate? Today’s $100,000-plus annual income voter is more likely a Democrat. Who are these folks trying to fool?
