This bumper sticker caught our eye and sent us fact-checking.
PolitiFact will fact-check any political claim -- not just from candidates and elected officials, but from bloggers, chain e-mails and even our all-time favorite, Spike the Romney Attack Dog.
So when we saw a bumper sticker on a Volkswagen VR6 that made a claim about the economic disparity, we put it to the Truth-O-Meter.
