You concede the gap between rich and poor is widening and the middle class is losing ground, and your solution is to cut taxes on the rich and assistance and benefits to everyone else.
I suppose you'd like to see all taxes eliminated except a flat tax on wages, so those whose wealth comes from investments (or can be disguised to look that way) pay no taxes at all.
As for data, TB's map was about the geographical distibution of wealth, not its increasing (and deliberately engineered) demographic unfairness. Obama had nothing to do with either. Its a trend that's been unfolding for decades; a trend smart Conservatives have profited from and have much to do with promoting, and stupid Conservatives are too dense to realize is also happening to them.
