Democrats - the party of complainers with no solutions......
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar..._inequality_no_interest_in_growth_128457.html
You may not have noticed, but Lincoln Chafee, the erstwhile Republican U.S. senator and independent-turned-Democratic governor, had one penetrating comment at the Democrats' debate Tuesday night. "But let me just say this about income inequality," he said toward the end. "We've had a lot of talk over the last few minutes, hours or tens of minutes, but no one is saying how we're going to fix it."
Chafee offered no solution himself and showed his confusion about the issue by saying that inequality "all started with the Bush tax cuts that favored the wealthy." Actually, as my Washington Examiner colleague Timothy Carney has demonstrated, Bush's cuts actually made the tax system more progressive, with the highest 10 percent of earners paying a larger share of federal income taxes than before.
But every once in a while a pig sniffs out a truffle and Chafee, after standing silently for tens of minutes, found one. For the policies proffered by the others on the stage would do little or nothing to reduce income inequality — just like the increase in high earner rates Obama got in 2013 (which no one mentioned).
