He/she believes that Elon Musk should be FORCED to buy bottom feeders up to middle class status. He/she believes that EVERYBODY standing on U.S. soil is entitled to live ‘middle class’. Meanwhile he/she continues to beg Mexico’s most desperate, most illiterate, most immoral to invade our nation.Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so you prefer socialism, where everyone is at the bottom?
For us running a company gave us more freedom with our time & choices, And there are many more tax breaks available. You may or may not ever get rich, Its a choice not a burden. many people want to quit thinking about work after the day is done & go home to there real life, neither choice is wrong,Running a company is a huge risk; a risk a lot of people won't take. Why would you take on these risks, these responsibilities, work endless hours to make nearly as much as you pay your labor? That would make no sense at all. Nobody would want to open up a business in a system like that. They would sooner just look for a job.

Money should be legislated out of politics. Citizens United was a disaster for our country.
The goal of companies is to make a profit at your expense. Low wages low costs high prices. It’s the game. There is value in their production but we have to be steadfast about using our collective labor power and collective consumer power to keep a balance. It’s not their today. The market works best when all they’re are strong and on equal footing.
This one sided thinking supported by name calling & insults is what disturbs me,. That anyone could actually believe that one political party has all the right answers & any wrong answers belong to the opposing political party. THAT DEFYS COMMON SENSE. There is plenty of blame to share.Whatever you stupid Moon bats think the middle class is it has been substantially eroded by Joe Potatohead's massive inflation and high cost of energy.
Just like during the Worthless Negro's administration poverty increased and family income decreased.
Leftest policies have always been a disaster for this country.
It is not a party thing.This one sided thinking supported by name calling & insults is what disturbs me,.

Those are just labels, The problem is in the distortions that are used to make one label fit all situations
There are many things like Social Security that have the label Socialism. How many people over age 55 on this board think Social Security is bad. Like all things in life there are pluses & negatives in all forms of human endeavor.

I am over 55 and I think Social is a terrible and stupid government program.Those are just labels, The problem is in the distortions that are used to make one label fit all situations

Politicians who sell their power should be legislated out of politics.Money should be legislated out of politics. Citizens United was a disaster for our country.
I worked construction my whole life and rarely made over 100k a year. I've invested my whole life and now have 3 beach rentals bringing in over $10k a month. I've saved my whole life and invested in a capitalist society. It worked for me. I didn't go to college and painted houses. I worked hard and I saved and read every get rich book I could. Start investing, work hard and learn from people that have done it and give it time.We are in a current situation where the workers at the bottom cannot get a raise of share in the economy without those in power taking it back from them.
***Mod Comment - Need to provide links to back up statements made as facts. That's in the forum rules.***
- The rising wages at the bottom are seen as an evil trend destabilizing the economy
- Company profit margins being higher than ever (basically rising wages at the top) is seen as economically healthy and good
- Companies have raised prices to protect profit margins to historical highs during supply issues taking advantage of shortages in the marketplace is seen as good
- The Uber wealthy continue to accumulate wealth in tough pandemic times and good times (pre and post pandemic) and no one cares
- The answer from those in power will be to raise interest rates, slow the economy to create unemployment hurting the bottom, again
- Tax rates on workers and capital continue to favor capital owners
- Unrealized wealth is only accumulated by the top - hell wealth is only accumulated at the top where top 10% own 89% of the wealth
- CEOs are making a historical multiplier over their workers salary, north of 270X’s
I owe my livelihood to capitalism and make top 1% money but it is the systemic exploitation of the bottom through very powerful controls of capital at the top. There needs to be a more balanced playing field.
How can people who work with their way through life get the same breaks as those who own their way through life? No one wants to take shit away… they want a fair shake.

The power they're selling should legislated out of government.Politicians who sell their power should be legislated out of politics.
Didn’t say that. What’s your solution for the cracks in our system?Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so you prefer socialism, where everyone is at the bottom?
um. No. Not even close.Government spends something like $10 trillion a year.
Get that money out of politics first.
Link to where I said that? If you want to be disingenuous go to the other threads where every just calls names. I was specific in calling out the issues and if you ask me we can’t tax labor at a higher rate than capital. That right there compounded over time is a big disadvantage.He/she believes that Elon Musk should be FORCED to buy bottom feeders up to middle class status.
