I sure can't find it anywhere that I brought something like that up ... 20% of what exactly?? I wrote that 20 years of accumulated middle class wealth was wiped out (by the housing bubble bursting & Bush recession lasting into the 1st Obama term before the current stabilization & ongoing weak recovery, repressed in every way possible by GOP obstruction).

Here's what Clinton actually said:

In the end he says he's DEFINITELY not for extending the Bush cuts for the wealthy (a clear cause of deficits). Otherwise he's talking about the current extensions in the very near term & the deficit-ballooning PERMANENT extension the GOP would extort for what he says should DEFINITELY be temporary measures to help out the economy for WTP. Clearly the top income earners DON'T NEED THE HELP as they're doing quite fabulous already (especially comparatively). Job creators are going to create jobs unless there's a bump in demand.

The economic food chain needs to be nurtured from the bottom up & ALL will benefit! Injecting cellulite directly into the already corpulently fat asses at the top will just lead to more fatter a$$es.

& which wars did Obama get us into?
