Earnings growth for the S&P are predicted to be negligible but w/ interest rates staying low the only place to get a decent return is equities. We may have seen peak employment so that won't be much help. So...........the admin is floating the idea of a tax cut for the middle class (they said that was what the first one was for).A majority of Americans say the economy is only benefitting the wealthy, despite record-low unemployment and rising wages.
A poll by Pew Research Center found that 69% of Americans say the economy is helping the wealthy, while hurting the poor, those without college degrees and the middle class.
Americans say strong economy only helping the rich
I wonder if those people are voting next year?
BTW, if you think it's a coincidence Trump is about to be impeached by the House and a basically worthless Phase I trade deal has been agreed to in principle so he can point to a success (that really isn't one) you are naive.
It's not the government's responsibility to pay people. It's government's responsibility to make sure business pays people a living wage.
The federal minimum wage has not been increased since the bush boy years.
Business is raking in billions but refuse to pay their employees a living wage. The only way they are going to do that is if they are forced to by law.
Raise the minimum wage to a living wage, less people will qualify for public assistance and more people will have money to spend to drive our economy.
It's so very irresponsible to cut taxes when we have such a huge deficit and debt.
Raising the minimum wage will not harm business and will help our nation and economy.
It's government's responsibility to make sure business pays people a living wage.
Can you post where that is spelled out in the Constitution?
Raise the minimum wage to a living wage, less people will qualify for public assistance
What percentage of minimum wage workers are even eligible for public assistance?
more people will have money to spend to drive our economy.
Money in the hands of the business owner doesn't "drive our economy"?
How many minimum wage workers generate enough added value to earn your "living wage"?
Raising the minimum wage will not harm business
Except for the ones it puts under. And the ones it stops from being created.
