America's greatness is its working classes not "wealth" creators

[JakeStarkey]

Dems to Pubs, Libertarians to our one anarcho-commie: the daily American is our success and guarantee, not our politicians and wealth abusers.

Notice the anti-American fascist business owner working with Communist China.

Telling the truth about ourselves is our second greatest strength.

Have a great day.

typical the nation is great because all Americans not just one group. You are NOT a Republican.

Coming clean my ass.

 

[Old Rocks]

Eisenhower was a Republican, and talked much like Starkey. When the GOP turned in it's conservative credentials for the southern religious racist vote, they turned their backs on the working American. The new GOP seems to operate only for the benefit of the wealthy 1%. And the Teabaggers are so ideologically driven, that they will damage the nation before they compromise on anything.

 

[Shrimpbox]

What a crock. The facts state otherwise. The highest corporate tax rate in the world. Medical devices insanely taxed under obamacare. The middle class in steep decline. Middle class net worth in steep decline. Black youth unemployment higher than when he came to office. The rich one per centers seeing all the income gains in the last few years. Failure to approve pipeline which even unions want. Getting rid of good middle class coal jobs. The yoke of obamacare around the neck of all large and small businesses stifling progress and good jobs, and a president who is disengaged and ignorant about economic matters.

So the facts say that the working man has suffered mightily under the Obama administration and the rich have gotten richer but many still feed us the bull about how much democrats care, they have to be thanking their lucky stars for all the low information voters their educational system has created.

T
The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Tax the richest and giant corps their fair share, and invest in Americans. Under Voodoo, the richest pay less than anyone in all taxes and fees...hater dupes believe a giant pile of bs from the greedy idiot megarich.

 

[turtledude]

The American left is no longer liberal but rather Reactionary, parasitic statists. rich leftwing elitists only care for the working class in terms of the votes

 

[francoHFW]

The Pub/corporate a-hole obsession with screwing their workers is actually ruining their businesses...terrible service, morale, absenteeism, family life etc etc...STUPID.

You are brainwashed to within a inch of your life, hater dupe. Read something.

The problem with American politics is that the Democrats suck but the Republicans are worse.

You can say lots of bad things about either party - and you'd be 100% correct.

But the dynamics of American politics are that when Republicans win elections, it means that Americans are fat happy and stupid, so the ruling elite feels free to screw the American people a bit more. When Democrats are elected, it means that the American people are mad, so the ruling elite has to loosen the screws enough to let off a little steam.

The only way we have to peacefully make the ruling elite come to heal is by repeatedly electing Democrats and radicals over and over again.

Economically things were pretty good back in the sixties - that's because the ruling elite was scared to death by the liberalism and general sarcastic attitude of working Americans.

 

[Richard-H]

If you act like sheep, expect the ruling elite to treat you like sheep.

 

[francoHFW]

Start with #5, and see if you can figure out what Reaganist tax rates and policies have done...

This has been going on for 32 years under Voodoo, which is defended to the death by the GOP. Our EFFECTIVE corporate tax rate is 12%, because their are so many GOP loopholes on giant corps. The tax on medical devices is very low. Why doesn't the GOP cut it- nobody gives a damn except hater dupes....

There is a problem with the term "working American"....That is the term no longer applies.
The original term came from the vision of the blue collar worker, and more accurately the unionized blue collar worker. No others were considered "working Americans"....
Today with just 7% of the total workforce being members of labor collectives, add the vastly increased numbers of college graduates as compared to 50 plus years ago and the increase in white collar jobs held by ordinary people, it is time to reevaluate the term "working American"..
So....Your turn. Define "working American".

 

[occupied]

To the average conservative the American worker is an overpaid, lazy, piece of trash that barely deserves the air that they breath. To the republican leadership an American worker is a resource that must the kept as inexpensive as possible by whatever means. To the democratic leadership an American worker is a vote. The sad truth is that no one in a position to do anything positive really gives a fuck about the working poor, no one, because we just take theft after theft of income and job security without complaint.

Hye genius. Our economy has ALWAYS been top down. Or trickle down.
Thos with the means open the businesses and offer the jobs. That's the way it is ....
Now if you want change, find me a penniless guy with some ideas to start his own business with no capital.
For that matter, why don't YOU give it a whirl?

Look who's talking...
Do you really want to suffer the embarrassment of having a bunch of your posts which are replete with insults?
Or do you think you should delete your post?
