The last 4 years!

I was listening to Glenn Beck yesterday and I wasn’t to suprised on what he said about the last four years. You would think after the long Presidential election and Barack Obama winning that he was right about how bad of shape America is. Well read the following below.

GLENN: You know, Noel Sheppard is an author from Newsbusters and he looked at the exit polls. And remember, you know, are you better off. The failed policies of the past. Here are the exit polls. The percentage of poor voters showed a huge decrease in 2004 while the percentage of folks making over 200,000 doubled, doubled. Here are the particulars. In 2004 8% of the electorate earned 15% or less. That dropped to 6% in 2008. That’s a 25% decline. In 2004 15% made between 10 and $30,000. That dropped to 12%. That’s a 20% decline. In 2004 23% made $30,000 or less. That dropped to 18% in 2008, a 22% decline. In 2004 11% made $100 to $150,000. That rose to 14%, a 27% increase. In 2004 4% made $150,000 to $200,000. That rose 6%, a 50% increase. In 2004 3% made over $200,000. That rose 6% this year, a 100% increase. In 2004 18% of people who went out to vote made $100,000 or more. That rose 26% in 2008, in 44% increase. Add it up. When you look at it from an income perspective, voters did pretty well over the last four years. You wouldn’t think that, would you?
