That doesn’t change the fact that there has been a huge redistribution of wealth starting in the early ‘80s in which huge money interests have bought political power and syphoned much of America’s wealth from lower and middle class people up to the loan sharks, war profiteering international corporations and billionaire tax cheats. The numbers do not lie.
Have you ever heard of Chicago or New Jersey? New York's Cuomo is about as corrupt as they come and Maxine Waters wins the most corrupt politician award year after year.
If a goon platoon of 100 Antifa idiots go on a violent binge and terrorist a neighborhood, it that one violent leftist incident or 100?
I have too and she stumbles over her own words when she doesn't have to smarts to explain her own positions. "As reported by The Daily Caller, during a Friday interview on the “Call Your Girlfriend” podcast, Harris was given the kind of softball question politicians dream of. Harris was asked to name her “biggest win” as a senator. “I’ll tell you, one of the things that I think for me is most important is the role that I serve on the various committees that I’m on, which are oversight committees, like — let’s be clear those committees exist to — to watch and question what is going on with our government, with the United States government … So I’m on Senate Intelligence. I’m on Homeland Security. I’m on Judiciary.” It only got worse. “And the accomplishment then for me is a function of what I think my role should be, and often, especially in the last 18 months it has been to try and get at the truth.” “And so the accomplishment is — and the goal is to always make sure that we are being and the system as being as transparent as possible, and that — you know, frankly that the American public has the answers, and that we’re being told the truth. And when that happens I feel a sense of accomplishment, and when it doesn’t happen I feel a sense of frustration,” she said. https://truepundit.com/stumped-kamala-harris-cant-name-1-accomplishment-as-senator/ HUH??????? She didn't get to where she is on her intelligence.
As an independent businessman I making between $100k and $200k a year I have paid through the nose for taxes while billionaires and corporations have used loopholes to avoid paying their fair share. I have managed to do pretty well however those with billions have thrived over the last 40 years while the middle class has shrunken. CEO salaries have ballooned while workers wages have remained stagnant since 1980.
"Right wing terror attacks quadruple between 2016 and 2017" I am very curious to know if Al Qaida, Hizbollah, ISIS, et al consider their goals to be "right-wing" or "left". does anyone here know?
The zero sum myth strikes again. Amazing how the concept of wealth creation is so poorly understood by the left.
Creation of wealth is great if there is a level playing field. However at this point, it seems that billionaires and wealthy corporations have hired lobbyists that write legislation which is passed by whores in both houses of Congress allowing them to reap the lions share of the wealth while avoiding paying their share of the cost of running the country and leaving the burden on middle class workers. Why did Trump and the GOP Congress give a 20% corporate tax cut and only a small cut to middle class instead of the other way around? What is poorly understood is the way that huge international corporations buy our representatives with their wealth and continually screw the middle class. Some of those running for President right now understand this very well and hopefully they will be elected along with non whore Congressmen and Senators who will take steps to reverse these trends and build the middle class. I would love to see a President who will hire a Secretary Of Treasury who is not a Goldman Sachs Stooge like the last 3 Presidents have, a Secretary Of Labor who is pro Union instead of a corporate lackey like we have now and maybe even a Secretary Of the interior who is not working for Monsanto. Trump ran on draining the swamp and whines about the Deep State but he has hired the same swamp rats and bank swindlers to key positions. His rhetoric is all a bunch of bullshit.
If its true thst the rich have influence in washington so do the poor who the politicians pander to Its the middle class that both extremes ignore and take advantage of
Are you looking at wages only or standard of living? Wages are meaningless if one has a good standard of living. I remember gas shortages and other shortages in the 70s. That all ended when Reagan was elected. While wages have remained stagnant it seems the standard of living has improved. One of the biggest problems poor people have today is obesity so not many folks are going hungry.
The reason for middleclass stagnation in my opinion is globalization And the rich are better able to thrive than the midfle class because of globslization
We just had 2 left wing attacks in a row. One thwarted by the FBI and the other was carried out in Poway.
Our representatives have sold us out to international corporations and bank swindlers. Trump is no different than the past 5-6 Presidents in that category. I knew that as soon as he appointed another Goldman Sachs swindler as Secretary Of Treasury. Same with Obama, Bush and Clinton. I would like to see a President appoint someone like Ron or Rand Paul or Elizabeth Warren for Sec Of Treasury who will represent the citizens and protect against the international bank swindlers. For 40 years now the Fox is watching the chicken coop.
