Republicans, the Working Americans Party

[RandomVariable]

My understanding is that to "fix the economy" the Republicans would unregulate business and "fix" the tax code. They would also end most of the benefits for low income/unemployed individuals/families. (Probably drop the minimum wage a couple of dollars too.) What would the country do from there. Sky rocket to 2008 level?

Voodoo wrecked and IS WRECKING the nonrich to the point where demand for products and services has dried up, along with their savings...before the corruption and cronyism housing and credit meltdown of 2008- while the rich have quadrupled their wealth...

Memorize the facts, hater dupes:
1. WORKERS past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):1950 = 101%1960 = 105%1970 = 105%1980 = 105% – Reagan1990 = 100%2000 = 96%2007 = 92%A 13% drop since 1980A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.Share of National Income going to Top 10%:1950 = 35%1960 = 34%1970 = 34%1980 = 34% – Reagan1990 = 40%2000 = 47%2007 = 50% TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.Household Debt as percentage of GDP:1965 = 46%1970 = 45%1980 = 50% – Reagan1990 = 61%2000 = 69%2007 = 95% An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.1950 = 6.0%1960 = 7.0%1970 = 8.5%1980 = 10.0% – Reagan1982 = 11.2% – Peak1990 = 7.0%2000 = 2.0%2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

4. Household Debt as percentage of GDP:1965 = 46%1970 = 45%1980 = 50% – Reagan1990 = 61%2000 = 69%2007 = 95%A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%and the bottom 80%:1980 = 10%2003 = 56%A 5.6 times increase.6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.The Probabilityy of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:1945 = 12%1958 = 6%1990 = 3%2000 = 2%A 10% Decrease.

GOP- Party of the greedy idiot chickenhawk rich and brainwashed ignorami...see sig.

I'm glad you're a Democrat Franco..

 

[rightwinger]

What's happened to the middle-class in the past 7 years..

Democrats have had a minimum of 66.6 % of the federal elected political power over the past 7 years and you believe the results are....?

excuses & bullshit and gracious sharing of the blame, to follow.

Seven years?

The middle class has been under attack for 30 years. Unions have been diminished, minimum wage is a joke, the standard of living has declined, healthcare is unobtainable, education is unaffordable

You think this happened in seven years?

Well the past 7 years certainly didn't help now did it..

and..Yes the impending collapse of the liberal great society bubble has been building up for years also.. You save an economy by hard work and jobs, not more Democrat gimme gimme programs for votes.

The collapse is a direct result of Republican trickle down policies which resulted in no trickle

 

[RandomVariable]

The reason the recovery is taking so long is that there was nothing left in the well. Even if the Republicans did control the government there is nothing left to create a bubble out of. They have bled us dry.

..and Democrats point to the Stock Market (the playground of the wealthy) as a rare Obama success...That would make Democrats traitors to the working man/women

..thanks for helping me prove my point, Franco ..

Still posting this far left propaganda and not citing the far left site you ripped it off from?

..and to think, he couldn't have done it without full Democrat support in Congress..(the Donkey's in the room)..

 

[007]

Republicans don't give a flying fuck about working people.

Sure they do. They respect working class Americans immensely.

Just look at how they stand behind them when the unemployment rate is high. Man....those who lost their jobs in the recession can count on the GOP to tell the world how valuable and important they are.

Oh for sure... and democrats believe people should live on unemployment as a career.

Democrats: Tax and spend.

Republicans: Borrow and spend.

Just sayin'.

deficit increased over 7 trillion in 5 years. that's a hell of a lot of borrowing on top of all the taxing they did
