and what has happened to the middle class, what has happened to wages?

Are you saying that an average CEO making over 300 times more than his average salaried employee is a good thing? Why?

its good for the CEO,,,and good for the employee since without the CEO he wouldnt be making anything,,,

No, the CEO isn't the reason they make anything -- I know you love to worship CEO's and the wealthy as being your savior...

But CEO's didn't make it happen -- consumers did

I've been self employed for 25 yrs

Legendary hedge fund manager, Ray Dalio said the same thing...is he an anti-capitalist America hating socialist too?

"The current polarization—both politically and socially—is most analogous to the 1930s, he argued. “It has to be dealt with,” Dalio said, saying if he were running things, he’d declare the wealth gap and opportunity gap a “national emergency.”

So you are saying everyone should just become business owners if they want to be able to have a decent life?

You do understand that is not how capitalist economies work right? Which is why our economy is a mixed economy, not a capitalist one...

 

[healthmyths]

Some people.

When they fail at business, they blame capitalism and not themselves. From the get-go their whole argument falls apart.

Most people who participate in our economy are not capitalists.....they do not own capital....not many people do...which is sorta of the flaw in our current system

the only flaw is the ones that are to lazy to work hard for it,,,

Most Americans who very hard -- which is why productivity is at all time highs -- but wages have remain stagnant.....Wasn't productivity supposed to be linked to wages?

Salaries: US wage growth in June was 2018's strongest so far
Median base pay for workers in the United States climbed by 1.6 percent in June to $52,052, according to the latest edition of Glassdoor's Local Pay Report. That was the strongest growth in the wage statistic so far in 2018.

And for these folks who have circle jerks over unfettered capitalism -- why the **** do you folks complain so much?? If you are a CEO -- why do you contine to ***** and complain about capital gains taxes not being cut by 2 more percent like your life depends on it?

The rest of the 90% of the country shouldn't have to suffer due to your greed...

And the cost of living is what? did it go down or up?

Did the wage gap decrease or increase?

and if everything is so great -- why do you idiots complain so much about losing your country?

That is a simpleton way to dismiss not having to deal with structural problems....

Its the narcissistic "Well I got mines, **** everyone else" mentality...and that mentality hasn't solved a single problem in our economy....


Again...if its just a case of people not working hard enough - why do you folks freak out over illegals?? I've never been prevented from making a decent living because of illegals....seems like you haven't either -- so why all this panic about illegals destroying America?

the cost of living is dependent on how you want to live,,,,,my cost is very low in fact I could live on less than 20K a year if needed,,,even less if I dropped my standards,,,

Please provide links to show CEOs complaining about capital gain taxes.
I think you are woefully uninformed as to how much money was offshore due to the 3rd highest taxes American firms paid.
To prove that:
Repatriated profits total $465 billion after Trump tax cuts - leaving $2.5 trillion overseas
Repatriated profits total $465 billion after Trump tax cuts - leaving $2.5 trillion overseas

What do you think happened to that $465 billion? Did the companies bury in the back yard or hide under mattresses? What happened to those billions?

thats two different subjects,,,pick one and stick to it,,,

As a matter of fact...if the economy just suddenly became a great economy when Trump was elected...why all of this complaining from Trumpers?

Aren't things ideal now? and the fact that majority of Americans disagree with this assessment just means they are lazy freeloaders

Why would anyone be talking about income gaps and such -- wages are perfect, in fact, since the economy is so idea -- wages are probably higher than they should be...

Wonder why these politicians are always talking about increasing wages...no need for that...everything is fine

They mainly did stock buy-backs to artificially inflate their stock value in order to boost their CEO pay...

We know now that they didn't use it to hire more people and raise wages

Well that's true Mayor Pete.....take a bow!

But here's the thing. Socialism leads more to plunder! Duh. Socialism let's waaaaaaaay more people down.

You want a world where the state decides.....and has power of attorney over you on....

• WHERE YOU WORK?
• WHEN YOU WORK?
• HOW MANY HOURS YOU WORK?
• HOW MUCH MEDICAL CARE YOU GET OR DONT GET?
• WHERE YOU LIVE?
• WHAT YOU DRIVE?
• WHERE YOU DRIVE?

Well hey.....perhaps Mayor Pete is your guy!
