Rise Of The Robots-How Trump And Republicans Betrayed Their Base Voters

[skews13]

If for nothing else, last month’s elections were remarkable for the fact that virtually no Republicans highlighted their singular legislative achievement, a massive tax giveaway to corporate America. One obvious reason for that is that few Americans making less than mid-six figure incomes saw any benefit to themselves from this tax cut. But the other reason was even more damning, if less noticeable: buried in this gargantuan payoff to reward the CEO donors in boardrooms who supported their campaigns, Republicans deliberately provided a huge incentive for corporations to eliminate the very jobs that their rural base needed to survive.

The OP didn't say why Ford is moving factories to Mexico if the bots can build the cars here? At least Trump is working hard to keep jobs here in the US instead of saying like Obama "those manufacturing jobs aren't coming back"

Two whole years of Trump performing miracles and all you heard was something about a "massive tax giveaway to corporate America"?

Do you not have a single clue about everything Trump has done throughout the last two years?

2. "...take-home pay for many American workers has effectively fallen since the economic recovery began in 2009, according to a new study by an advocacy group that is to be released on Thursday.

The declines were greatest for the lowest-paid workers in sectors where hiring has been strong — home health care, food preparation and retailing — even though wages were already below average to begin with in those service industries.
