There is an economic class war going on, but only one side is fighting. The extreme wealthy are fighting and the people aren’t.We got off the gold standard and clearly both sides know debt doesn't matter. But I believe there will be a crash to right the ship. Like the 2007 Great Recession. And since Reagan, we've given the rich and corporations tax breaks and making cuts to social programs. Breaking unions meant ceo pay could go up 1322% when ours only went up 18%. From 1978 to now. And in those same years, union membership went from 35% of our workforce to 5%. So who's gonna stop companies from hiring illegals for sub American wages? I could go on and on about how the rich waged class warfare on us starting with getting Reagan elected. And Bush 2, he really fucked us good huh?
Last year unions just made out great. They are finally making what they are "worth" because they have a seat at the table. Perhaps it's time for a comeback for unions. We will see. Once uneducated blue collar Trump supporters realize the jobs coming back only pay $15. And the globalists like Bush, McCain and Romney will say they are doing jobs Americans won't do. They'll do em but you got to py em. And if they can make more somewhere else??"
If there are 10 million unfilled jobs how come wages aren't continuing to rise? Because the feds raised interest rates to cool down this red hot economy.
Income inequality has skyrocketed over the past few decades and both political gangs and our corrupt federal government have sided with the wealthy.
Way past time to eliminate the duopoly.
