Read the post eliciting that comment.

This board bears witness to some awful economic premises. So do mainstream publications. Most (though certainly not all) of that is forwarded in an attempt to prop up obamanomics and/or class warfare.

It seems your OP was intended sarcastically. I accept that. The problem is it floats in a sea polluted with imbecility on the topic. So the sarcasm was more difficult to read than perhaps you suppose.

E.g., As I post this, neocon George Will is actually proclaiming to a CNBC anchor that Wilbur Ross "knows nothing of commerce." I'd like to assume Will was being sarcastic, but he wasn't. The arrogance, the pervasive stupidity of a journalist issuing such a statement about Ross is breathtaking.
