Democrats are now party of the rich

[Rambunctious]

Here is my proof that the Republican party is the party for the rich

Household wealth swelled at a record pace during the pandemic. From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

Which party do you think the people who made out from 2019 to 2022 vote for?

Who does Bernie Sanders say supports the top 1%?

The 1%:The wealthiest American earners now own more wealth than the entire middle class

Who cries when we talk about taxing those people? Republicans do.

50-somethings​

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

The rich drive the average way up. Who is voting GOP here? The people who fall into the average net worth are.

Think about rich Ben Carson and Herman Cain. Poor blacks vote Democratic. They vote for the labor party. The GOP is the party all my AVERAGE friends vote for. Bush, Trump, McCain, Romney, Nikki, Ron DeSantis, Rubio, Cruz, Mitch, Mike Johnson, George Santos, Majorie Taylor Green

Look you can't take covid shutdown era numbers and use them to compare or make a point about anything.... but... Peoples household income went up because no one was spending money.... vacations were cancelled flights were cancelled people stayed home and most kept working and earning...
Which by the way is the best way to run an economy... put people to work in high paying jobs with health benefits... not by price controls and higher taxes and government giving away money....

I think you get my point. Labor needs a seat at the table, unions are important to having a middle class and so is having Democratic presidents, house and Senate and Supreme Court.

Sorry facts matter. Next to the richest white towns in Alabama are poor black communities that serve them. You know, BLACK JOBS. LOL. YOU can't deny the rich white community votes Republican and the poor communities vote Democratic. RIGHT???

Stop calling us commies and socialists. The truth is we are capitalists but capitalism needs to be properly regulated. FDR and every liberal after him looked out for the middle class. Every Republican trickle down policy has hurt us. The only reason you dopes vote GOP is because of god, gays, guns and racism. Social wedge issues. They even have you convinced global warming isn't real, it's the FBI that's corrupt.

I find it interesting that Republicans woo religious people. Makes sense. These people believe things without evidence. They just accept based on faith. If they are already brainwashed about one thing, it's easy to brainwash them into believing covid is a hoax or that the election was rigged. Take it on faith.

From what I hear there was a steady parade of "swells" at the DNC and most were current and former dem politicians.

Even The Daily Show made fun of how many people said JOY. Driving the message home. We are the joy party, GOP is the negative party. The Angry party. Which party do you want to go to young people?

Angry....It's never too early to start hating Marxist dems.

Kamala has received endorsements from four Presidents, two Vice Presidents

Trump had to fake a Taylor Swift endorsement

Remember anyone who says Marxist isn't taken seriously. If you want to be taken seriously call me a socialist. The argument is really about more or less government intervention in our capitalist system. It's not communism anyone is after. If there are elements of communism in our ideas on how to regulate capitalism, sorry about that. Doesn't make us commies.

We want GE to be a capitalist company. We just want them to pay taxes. And we want our government regulating global polluters. You don't? We like labor laws and we like it that it's legal to form unions. We like that government intervention in the market place.

I loved Kamala's kids explaining how to remember how to say her name.

“First you say ‘comma,’ like a comma in a sentence,” said Amara Ajagu, a daughter of the vice president’s niece Meena Harris.
“Then you say ‘la,’ like, ‘la, la, la, la,’” added Leela Ajagu, another daughter of Meena Harris.

You know how you remember Trump's first name? Don as in Mafia Don and OLD as in he's too old to be president. LOL

Well I used to use leftist dem but your ilk has moved to full blown Marxist dem.

Do you take that as a promotion or demotion?

Thanks for those numbers, yes, the GOP is the party of making people rich. Who doesn't want their median net worth to jump 37%?

She's not suggesting "price controls". She's suggesting controlling profit margins to end price gouging. Big difference. Grocery stores have raised their profits over costs by 40%. since 2020. THAT'S a big chunk of your grocery inflation.

If giving money away does nothing for America STOP GIVING TAX CUTS TO THE WEALTHY. Republicans have no qualms about giving money to billionaires, but "free shit" to the working class - no fucking way.

Republicans have bled working people white. The working class owned 5% of the wealth of the nation when Reagan took office. Today they're living on "earned income credits". The middle class is declining.

You have the highest rate of poverty in the First World, and Trump is proposing give another tax cut to the wealthy, and increasing taxes to the working class by putting tariffs on all imports.

80% of the wealth of the nation goes to the top 10%. THIS IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

In Norway, it's 50%. In Canada, it's 40%. The working class is revolting over this inequity. The entire Trump Cult is based on the idea that working people are getting screwed over, and it's true - you are. But it's TRUMP and the REPUBLICANS who have screwed you over, not the Democrats.

The Democrats are further to the right of the Reagan Republicans. Republicans have gone full blown fascist, and you're still claiming it's not far enough to the right.

You haven't the first idea of what you're talking about. Calling the Democrats "marxist" is proof positive you're a complete idiot.

dumbdragon, controling profit margins is price controls.

wow.

Why give the GOP credit? This is what I'm talking about. If Trump were president you'd say this makes him the greatest of all time. But when it happens on Biden's watch, you don't give him credit.

If you’re a 50-something and you’re not worth a cool $1 million, do not despair. Those numbers are averages, and the super-rich drive them waaaay up.

The “median” American household achieves a net worth of about $300,000 in the 50-to-59 age range, a far cry from $1 million.

Biden and Bernie want to help the Median's. Republicans always talk about the "average" knowing the rich drive those numbers up.

Who doesn't want? Everyone wants. Unfortunately only the rich get when Republican policies are implemented.

2019 it was trumps watch

 

[sealybobo]

2019 it was trumps watch

So? Let's see how Biden improved on Trump's numbers.

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37%

You want to give Trump credit?

Funny because Trump said Obama's unemployment number wasn't real. But as soon as Trump got in and it went from 4.8% to 4.7% suddenly it was real and Trump was the greatest.

So does Obama get credit for the good that happened in 2017 and 2018? Right before Trump started a trade war with China and in 2019 he only had 2.3% growth.

2019 - 2022 Don't you mean the 4 years that the Democrats controlled the House, and the nation's purse strings, and Nancy Pelosi refused to give another dollar to bail out publically traded, privately owned corporations, until the government gave a $1200 payment to every working American, to bail them out of economic consequences of the pandemmic.

Pelosi used the power of purse to ensure that Republicans gave bailout money to the American PEOPLE, not American Big Businenss. THAT's why Americans' net worth increased from 2019 to 2020 - BECAUSE NANCY PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS LEVERAGED THEIR HOUSE MAJORITY TO ENSURE THAT, UNLIKE 2008 WHEN ALL BAILOUT MONEY WENT TO CORPORATIONS, THIS TIME, THEY WOULD ENSURE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GOT A BAILOUT TOO.

Family wealth jumped 37% because the federal government funded programs to pay working and middle class families income supports during covid. The average family of 4 received $5600 from the American rescue plan, enabling them to reduce credit card debt and increase family savings.

And Trump wasn't President in 2021 or 2022.

She said price gouging would end... (actually she called it price gaging because she's a dumb fuck) so what the hell are you talking about?.... there is no price gouging being done by anyone except the federal government....
If her target are the stores and companies she will never fix inflation.... and it will go on and on...
Inflation started climbing the day after Biden and Harris shut down the pipelines and public land and off shore drilling... they continue to fight to stop new sites for oil... denying one application after another... and it only pushes prices for everything higher....
But I'm happy she doesn't know the cause because the people do and she will fail to gain the trust of the people....

Labor??? by labor do you mean working men and women or the fat cats that run the unions?.... its big labor just like big oil and big pharma... the workers are MAGA because they can see their leadership is selling them down the river... China will become the only car manufacturer in the world one day if our leaders have their way... they are building huge auto plants in Mexico... and our laborers will be on welfare....

we didn't get a bailout in 2019. what in the world are you talking about? You are right, though, she controled the purse strings, from 2020-2022 as well...sadly she also had harris and Xiden in office from 2021, 2022, which lead to record xidenflation.
