Democrats are now party of the rich

[rightwinger]

They always did. Your party is the one that sold them out with kooky economic promises and is crushing them.

Can you name any Conservative policies that help working Americans more than the wealthy?

Not doing the drastic inflationary spending Biden/Harris did?

Republicans still tell their Trickle Down lies

Give money to the wealthy and business and it will trickle down in more jobs, higher wages and lower prices.

The reality is that they just keep it

I became an adult under him. 2019 to be exact.

Obviously you're still a kid if you equate Trump with Biden.
There is no comparison. Trump's personal faults were not reflected in
his performance as president and will not in the future. As sorry as Biden, Harris and Walz' personal lives were, their politics were disastrous anywhere you look. Gas prices, inflation, letting Minneapolis burn, letting felons go free, letting in 10,000,000 illegals to rape, murder and bring drugs while sucking our welfare system.... Three stooges.

When I worked in the filthy corporate world I never went to work with the company's interests. They would have had to pay alot more for that. I did what I needed to do. Good enough. Pay is tied to effort.

I have always treated any company I work for like it's my business.

Truth on both sides. When my brother had so much money he didn't know what to do with it and the housing market crashed, he purchased 65 acres from some poor sap who lost it for real cheap. Then he built a home on it. Kept that company busy for 3 years. Then he had them build him a barn. Another year of work.

We couldn't get back to the river so he hired this company with two huge machines to come and make him a wood chip road all the way back to the river. It's like 300 yards back. Took them two days. Paid them thousands of dollars.

Whoever sold him the property cut all the trees down and sold them. They left all the stumps. So he hired a guy with a bulldozer to come tear out all the stumps.

Guy plows his driveway whenever it snows. And it snows A LOT up there.

Point is, he has spent at least $1 million dollars on this piece of property. Up north Michigan. Think about how many people he employed all these years while they were building this place. Plumbers, dry wallers, construction, electricians, carpenters, etc.

Covid-19 Deaths under Biden Surpass Deaths during Trump Administration​

Covid-19 Deaths under Biden Surpass Deaths during Trump Administration | National Review

It turns out that Joe Biden’s Secret Plan to End Covid worked about as well as when he promised to ‘cure cancer.’

Roger Williams
stated on December 2, 2021 in an email:
"The number of COVID-19 deaths recorded so far in 2021 has surpassed the total for 2020."

More COVID-19 deaths in 2021 than in 2020

2021 was the year COVID-19 vaccines became widely available to Americans after a grim 2020. While our resistance to the

People died, because Xiden and Harris played politics with people's lives.

No, people died because REPUBLICANS played politics with people's lives and told them the vaccines were "experimental" and people were dying from taking the vaccines. Neither of these things were true.

Democrats weren't in office in 2020, and by the time Biden was inaugurated, over 10 million Americans were sick with covid and the disease was mutating rapidly. At the then-current rate of death, approximately 200,000 of those sick on Inauguration Day, would die, taking Trump's death toll up to 700,000 and reducing Biden's numbers to 300,000. That's less than half of those who died in under the Trump Administration's handling of the crisis.

Dr. Faucci had warned early in the pandemic that if they did nothing to stop the spread, over a million Americans would die before you achieved Herd Immunity, and the vaccines would never end it. And THAT is what happened when Trump decided to go for "herd immunity" because it meant he did nothing.

There was no coming back from that much infection being allowed to run wild.

Some do, most don’t. But Here you are, a true leftist/Marxist.. demonizing the rich, smearing all who have a lot of money.

And most of the “rich” are just small business owners who have a lot of value on the books but not a lot of actual money.

Poor people don’t hire others to do work.

Your ideology is just jealousy and a lust for power. If we had it your way, you’d pretty much have none of the technological innovations you currently use and enjoy.

Republicans were in the Oval Office when we had record Covid deaths. That was xiden and harris.

A Republican gave us vaccines and had security measures in place. Harris and xiden wanted a surge at the border and opened it to untested and unvaccined people, which ushered in new variants and record deaths.

Harris and xiden should be charged with manslaughter for their reckless endangerment with human lives

Of course hiring someone isn’t a charity. It’s a business deal, you have to pay the employee, pay unemployment insurance, pay half their social security and Medicare and Medicaid taxes…it’s quite expensive to hire someone

Same here. Those who do "enough to get" by don't get the bonuses or the promotions. I remember overhearing one complaining that "If they want me to do more, they need to pay me more".

It is good when those people with money have an incredibly hard time finding people to hire. That helps the economy.

And going to work for someone shouldn't be a form of slavery either. Calling someone a "manager" to avoid paying a minimum wage worker overtime, while paying your CEO $20 million per year should be illegal.

It’s not, slavery is illegal in the United States. The GOP did that over a century ago. The dems have been mad ever since.

Now when you work for someone, you have to get paid.

Where you been?

But you need people who have lots of money or else our society collapses.

But hey, stay jealous.

Well that's not good. I also have a lot of respect for business owners. It's hard. I tried. I'm better off working for someone else, they pay me $100K, healthcare, 4% 401K match and if it doesn't work out, oh well. I just go find another job.

I work for a small business. I know that one employee can suck all the profits out of the business if they aren't pulling their weight. And that could mean me not getting a raise next year. When I worked for a big company, I cared more about my fellow workers. "It's not fair why did they fire them?" Clearly they weren't pulling their weight. But who cares when it's a HUGE company.

As of 2023, Thomson Reuters has 25,600 employees in hundreds of locations around the world.

So you think if the business is successful and big, it’s ok to keep deadbeats not pulling their weight on?
