In the meantime, corporate profits continue to soar, executive pay and bonuses rise, stock buy backs grow, all of which continues to enrich the wealthy 10% as wages of the working class continue to stagnate and the bottom 50% is just told they should be optimistic and wait for the crumbs to trickle down, right?

I don't see much difference in the plight of the working class whether the left arm (dems) or the right arm (repubs) are in "power" while the middle class continues to shrink and the ranks of the poor continue to swell.

Really, Dave? They been waiting for 40 years. Trickle down is a bad joke played by the wealthy.

Freedom isn't supposed to be perfect. But it is the best.

Corporations are support to make profits. Profits are actually good.

The nonsensical "gap" between rich and poor expsnded huge under Obama. It's a stupid thing to worry about, but if you care, you should be upset at Obama.

America's poor are richer than the vast majority of non-Americans. That's because Americans are still more free than everyone else.

Every Socialist Utopia has much more poverty and much more elitism than America.

I have repeatedly said I never voted for obamy and was never a fan of his.

"Every Socialist Utopia has much more poverty and much more elitism than America." That is the direction we have been headed for the last 40 years. Elitism is a flaw of both the left and right ideologs of the corporate party. And corporations share MOST of the blame.

What ticks me off is that the elder and poor that depend on the cost of living increase were LIED to for eight years as the cost of things were minipalated to make it look like the cost of living was not really all that bad.

EXAMPLE:
The CORE (cost of living increase) were basic items the elder required such as food shelter, doctor bills, medicine, electricity, gas, basic necessary things.

When doctor bill increased, medicine, electricity, gas these items were illegally removed from the CORE and replaced by things that did not increase or hardly increased. What use has the elderly with iron, coal, soybesns, pot salt. The Obummer's administration called it creative bookkeeping. (My rear end)

At first when food prices went up say for example a can of soup cost $1.00 for a 16 oz can went up to say $1.35. People didn't buy as much. So the spup companie made 14 oz. Cans that sold for $1.10. People didn't notice they were playing more for less soup. Then they went to a 10.5 oz can and the prices stayed the same. It's called creative bookkeeping by the Obummer's administration.

In eight years the cost of living almost doubled yet social security got less than 10% increase in those eight years. I recall one year in the morning it was announced that there would be no cost of living increase because there was no money to pay for it (the Social Security trust fund was raided again and the money replaced by worthless IOU bonds).

BUT THAT. SAME AFTERNOON IT. WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY FOUND ENOUGH MONEY IN AN ACCOUNT. TO GIVE THEIRSELVS A 30% PAY RAISE.

It would have taken an old age retired person FIVE YEARS to draw as much as a first year Congress or representatives got.
So much for taking care of the older people that paid in the money.

That's what is wrong with America today. Now the Socialists want to give the old folks social security funds to the illegal criminal aliens.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. GO HOME WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF NOW.

Democrats need a highly unemployed underclass to survive. That's pretty obvious. They always run on unemployment, never on employment.

Can Democrats undo the progress and increase unemployment before the election? How?


They will keep bashing the President and practice the art of Fake News. Fake News is nothing but damn lies designed to degrade the President and other entities.

Anyone that could not understand what I posted was too stupid to be in my target audience.

If you can’t write a coherent sentence or spell words correctly, I would be very careful who I would call stupid. If you can’t get your message across in a meaningful way, you lose your audience, because they can’t understand what you are trying to convey to them. I was just trying to be helpful.

I always find it funny just how many poor people drive Mercedes or the latest sportsters, wear designer threads, and tool around with the latest
Iphone. Poverty doesn't look as impoverished as it does ignorant. But oh, they can get educated, if they have
a hundred grand laying around to pay socialist professors. Where's the Democrats to fix that cost? Naw, they
just want to give the colleges more and more money to throw away.

My posts are coherent and I do get my messages across in a meaningful way, and all without your help

But, I'm so grateful that you're helping me, I'll help you in return... Tell me the parts of my posts that you didn't understand, and I'll explain them to you in terms you can deal with.

To do that you would have to post in third grade language.

Their excuse is arguing for fully Socialized education.

They've managed to destroy K-12, so why not give them complete control of higher education?

Then why aren't wages rising for the average worker?

From May 2017 to May 2018, real average hourly earnings decreased 0.1 percent, seasonally adjusted.
The decrease in real average hourly earnings combined with a 0.6-percent increase in the average
workweek resulted in a 0.5-percent increase in real average weekly earnings over this period.

A few maybe EARNING more due to longer hours but WAGES are not increasing.

People are still dropping out of the labor market which makes the numbers look better.
