Who the hell is Don Winslow? Another angry TDS leftie? Ho hum.
I like his advice though. Just don’t tell people you’re voting for biden. I told some republicans at the dog park I don’t like trump and now they call me a libtard.
The one guy was black, the other gay and the one doesn’t make a lot of money. Anazing how these Three don’t care about the racism, homophobia or the fact That republicans only care about the rich.
So thats all you took away from your encounter?
Sad....
Yea, I've given up on America and Americans. They/you get what you deserve. I'm doing fine but are they/you? And who's going to maga for you? Trump? LOL
I MAGA'd myself.
And you're right...I did get what I deserve through hard work and perseverance.
I was forced to join a union back in 1998 under the Maryland forced labor laws. I was the only electronic/pneumatic technician in a union full of steam fitters and HVAC mechs. Local 99. During my 1 year working there, i had a few union workers upset that i was paid more than them, because i was the new guy and havent paid my time and dues yet. While they could work on steam and Hvac stuff, i asked them if they could fix circuit cards and other electric stuff, they said no, and i said that was why i was paid more than them....Make yourself valuable, you get paid for that value. If you are a dime a dozen, be paid that dime....
I’m just like you. I tripled sales so I now make more than everyone else at my work. I’m not talking about us the top 10% I’m talking about everybody else. They don’t make shit. I don’t know how they survive.
Back when my father was 20 you could go work for a company and raise a family and get a pension and have great medical. My dad didn’t even graduate high school. And my mom worked at a hospital. She made great money too. She had a high school degree.
Today college grads don’t have it as good as my parents had it. If you’re telling blue collar that America is great again, you’re lying to them. But hey, if they’re dumb enough to vote for trump or not show up and vote, I guess the masses get what they deserve.
Im debt free. Even if I lost my 6 figure job I could work a minimum wage job and still pay my bills And survive till I retire in 12 years. I just hope trump doesn’t win because a second term trump will cut our social security 20% in order to save the program and you cons will bend over and take that too.
I quite HS in the tenth grade...and retired at 46.
I did however have Trumps magic wand....it's filled with white privilege.
When I argue if the economy is good overall I don’t take into account I make 6 figures or that my brother makes over $500,000 a year as an executive at a Fortune 500.
What does the fact we make so much have to do with the fact the middle class today isn’t what it once was and is disappearing?
How can you deny it? Isn’t that what trumps bring8ng jobs back home and throwing illegals out all about? Raising wages for struggling blue collar?
Are you suggesting trump has solved the problems blue collar America has?
Why would you bring up your brother? And "we" make so much?
Still live with your brother and rely on his income...how embarrassing.
Yes Trump has helped Blue Collar workers immensely.
Try and deny it.
I’m in the upper class. I believe a single person household making over $85k is upper class. I’m upper class.
Trump hasn’t helped the middle class and blue collar immensely. That’s a joke. Are you new here or something?
If thats upper class I'm filthy rich.
Wages are up for everyone as are jobs.
Go blow smoke up someone else's ass.
If you’re rich why tell us to vote republican. We know they work for you
You are inferring that Democrats working to keep people poor is a good thing.
That’s what you inferred from that? I thought I was suggesting that republicans are all about trickle down which doesn’t work. Never has.
The last time America was great was 1999. Ford had record profits that year and ford employees got record profit sharing. Then bush stole 2000 and sent all those union jobs overseas to kill unions.
Who don’t forget, got ford record profits in 1999. but you republicans waged war on American workers in the 2000s. Sent all those jobs bye bye. Now you’ll bring them back for $15 hr.
The difference between us is that you actually think the Democrats care about anybody.
And you believe trump. just like a lot of Russians like Putin. Who’s better than Putin right?
I am results oriented.
Just like at work, all I look at is the effort and achievement.
I don't know one salesperson who hates Trump or thinks Trump has ruined the economy.
Well I saw manufacturing flee under Bush’s watch and trumps trade war with China cost me money last year and his leadership has mad3 the pandemic worse and last month I sold $85k when before I was selling $150k a month.
I don’t want to hear excuses. Republicans are no good for middle class Americans.
Trump is not a Republican and he has been great for middle class Americans and you're full of shit.
If they’re policies end up leading to you living 20 years past retirement and getting a 20% cut to your social security and medicare, how much did they really do for you?
Lets say that’s $300 less every month for 20 years. That’s $72,000 the took from you. That’s $3600 a year.
You say republicans have benefitted you $3600 a year?
Don’t misquote me...
I voted for Trump’s MAGA platform.
The Rs and Ds can rot in hell.
And yes, the tax cuts created a record number of jobs and resurrected careers.
Ha! You’ve drinken the cool aide. Obamas final 35 months he created 7.5 million jobs. That wasn’t good enough you and trump said. In trumps first 35 he created 6.7.
Im going to start a thread about republican hypocrisy. Under 3% growth Obama was a failure. 2019 growth was 2.3%. Wake up.
Once again, racist, minorities earning $9.00/hour without benefits is something you wouldn't want to do and don't hand me any bullshit that you would be happy with that scenario.
When was it wages went up? 2018? 2019? That’s because some states in 2016 passed minimum wage increases you republicans said would put small businesses out of business and you said you needed time before those increases took affect so they set them to kick in sometime in 2018 or 2019. You’re giving trump credit for that.
And the fact is for some reason even though unemployment was really low early 2017, wages weren’t rising as fast as they should have been.
Anyways, we’ll be fine without trump. He did some good but overall he’s not worth it
The minimum wage is a retarded program and should be eliminated completely. No one pays an employee less than they are worth. If someone works for you, it's their best offer. Think about it. People don't turn down $15 an hour jobs for a $6 job.
If you knew ANYTHING about business you'd realize the minimum wage is just a hurdle. Not worth that? You don't work.
People worth less than $7.25 an hour need work the most to increase their skills and earn more. Your response is fire them unless they are worth $15.
You're so arrogant. Why should you have the power to deny people work? Then you pat yourself on your back for doing it
You make all the arguments employers and rich people make and employees hate. Bottom line is you don’t value workers.
Us liberals created the greatest middle class the world had never seen before. The rich didn’t like that and they faught back and today labor is not what it once was. But the rich have never been richer.
So you ruined the middle class. Today less people are securely in the middle class. Blue collar rocked it in the 90s. Today?
I’m single and make $100k. No mortgage kids or student loans. I’m saving a lot. But even still I’m going to need my social security and Medicare to retire.
I notice republicans gladly took the stimulus check trump sent them in fact they needed it after 9nly being out of work 2 weeks. I didn’t need it. So all the idiots who needed it and vote republican, I suppose they deserve what you would do to them.
Hell my nephews won’t need my money I just hate the idea of giving all my savings to the insurance companies before I die. I wanted to leave it to fam.
Minimum wage needs to be increased because wages don’t increase naturally like they should. Hell, you republicans would rather pay illegal workers before you pay more. So we have to force you to do the right thing.
capitalism is only good if it’s properly regulated. If not it’s just another ism.
