NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The super-rich got even wealthier this year, despite the stumbling economy.
Forbes magazine released its annual list of the 400 richest Americans on Wednesday, and their combined net worth climbed 8% this year, to $1.37 trillion. Wealth rose for 217 members of the list, while 85 saw a decline.

Dear Kitty. Some blog 
The richest 2% of Americans are demanding an extension of George Bush’s tax cuts for themselves, which would add over $700 billion to our national debt over ten years.
As President Obama said, “we can’t afford to borrow and spend another $700 billion on permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.”
Tell your Representatives:
No $700 Billion Tax Cut for the Rich
Our national debt is nearly $14 trillion and we need to reduce it. The Deficit Commission is even considering unacceptable cuts to essential middle-class programs like Social Security.
The first way to cut the debt is to eliminate tax cuts for people who don’t need them. And the rich don’t need a tax cut – they are rolling in dough while the rest of us struggle to survive.
Tell your Representatives:
No $700 Billion Tax Cut for the Rich
If tax cuts for the rich created jobs, Bush’s tax cuts would have created a booming economy. Instead they brought us to the brink of a Great Depression in 2008 and created our current Great Recession with nearly 10% unemployment.
Tell your Representatives:
No $700 Billion Tax Cut for the Rich
Thanks for all you do!
