Restaurants are adding labor surcharges to help offset minimum wage increases

We've said for years fox lies. Trump tweets that he heard on fox Obama wiretapped him. Fox lies. Who's spreading the fake news papa?

and it was true Obama wire tapped Merkel Flynn and all communication going into and out of USA. Thats how transcripts were always made available the next day. Now do you understand?

Every president spies on other countries. Don't be stupid. Trumps doing it right now. So what? You're not supposed to get caught.

Are you saying trump won't spy or he will make his spying public?

And does this prove Obama spied on trump?


Reminds me of how you were sure bill and lunch talked Hillary but you don't think trumps team plotted with Russia, even though sessions got busted being a liar

You hurt blue collar because they were cutting into your profits.

our companies had to be competitive or go bankrupt. Is that really over your head? When unions had no competition they could rip off Americans big time. Now Americans are happy to shop all over the world and not be force fed union junk at rip off prices. No more welfare- $70k a year plus benefits for screwing on a bolt on an assembly line. Do you understand?

See sig last line.

If you can't stand "dupes" anymore, why are you here?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Every president spies on other countries.

And thus on those in other countries who talk to Americans like Trump. Where do you think the transcripts came from?? So Fox was right!!

From 2007:

Wake up, this is a DECADE LATER, after the destruction wrought on our country by petulant former Presiden Barack Hussein Obama. Of this you are proud?

 

[francoHFW]

the top 10% of earners pay just over 70% of all income taxes leaving 30% to be paid by the bottom 90% of earners

why the hell would anyone complain about that?

Do you mean other than the 10% carrying who are carrying the load?

Jeebus what an idiot dupe...Reaganism has been cutting taxes on the rich and shifting to state and local for 35 years. A flat tax is a boon to the rich- your brainwashers. You bozos can only talk about BS fed income tax...

The one tax graph you really need to know

Raygunism- and here we go again.

Raygun was a term to mock Reagan's star wars defense idea. Now that we are about to go to war with North Korea we would give anything to have funded it 10 times more than Reagan wanted in order to shoot down nuke missiles that can kill 10's of millions!!

When it really matters, the right wing love socialism.

Just Reaganism rolling on stupid. Obama was TOTALLY OBSTRUCTED except ACA, which had no effect DUH. You did hear of the 2008 DEPRESSION?

READ THIS AND TRY TO THINK!!! Can you spot the gd problem?

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 35 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the 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% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 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% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

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% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 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 Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

[12icer]

Dead stupid thread we moved on from your liberal NON FACTS to a REAL FACT that Trump is kicking your ass, and oshitma is a treasonous piece of lying shit as we all knew.

 

[francoHFW]

yes its very unfair that the top 1% pay 44% of all federal income tax when they should pay 1%. LIberals steal money from those who know how to invest it best, and, create class warfare teaching the lower class that they deserve a free ride and don't have to contribute.

The 1% make more than 90% of the country and should pay 1%? Terminally insane.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

so the top1% should pay more for govt and more in a supermarket too???
