As I've stated elsewhere, the US economy is so gigantically complicated that to expect a President to fix it is ludicrous. However, I do expect a President to refrain from strategies that pit one segment of American society against another.

It's a way of mobilizing the anti white male voters. "The top 1%". When you hear about them you think of a white male who lives on Park and 67th or waterfront property in Palm Beach County or wherever. Athletes and movie actors are exempt. People are outraged that Romney pays 15% cap gains but NY is broke and no one complains about all the Yankees who are tax refugees living in Tampa, like Jeter.
