Republican voters will never admit us liberals are right but aren't they admitting it when none of their superstars can even beat fiorino carson or trump?
If Paul Ryan Ted Cruz Chris Christy santorum Walker kascich huckabee Perry or bush were ever good wouldn't they be beating 3 non politicians?
Don't bother arguing it Republicans. You guys won't even admit Gw bush sucked. You don't have to. Your telling me all I need to know in your primaries. If he was good jeb would be your front runner.
I'm not certain that your conclusion is a given, but your argument is plausible.
In hindsight, which of the 12 dwarfs would Republicans run now?
I say pence, kasich or Paul Ryan might have beaten hillary.
One things for sure. The GOP is a horrible group of deplorable.
You vote for corruption, the people you vote for are destroying the country. I say that makes ewe the MOST deplorable.
I'm sure if I told a rich guy like the Koch brothers, "you ruined this country", they would laugh at me. Because for themselves they made the country so much greater than it's ever been.
So
while for the last 2 decades you attacked labor and unions, wages have gone down. Remember, you said we made too much? We were lazy, overpaid, UNION WORKERS! That was the ******* attack on the middle class *****! That was class warfare stupid! And they ******* won! So now you want to make America great again?
Does that mean paying blue collar workers enough that they can raise a family and retire in 30 years? Bullshit my friend. You republicans are just so full of shit and everyone can smell it.
Who are you? What do you do for a living? Why are you struggling so hard? Maybe you suck? Maybe the country is doing just find but you blow.
Are you intentionally parroting the themes of the Trumpkins? I thought you mentioned being a liberal, yet you sound like them, or they like you. It's the same rallying cry, no matter whom one declares as its owner.
Red:
I'm sure wages for certain jobs or types of jobs have gone down. The wages for the jobs that align with the U.S.' current
comparative advantages have most certainly not gone down. On the contrary, those types of jobs' wages have done just fine. Case in point,
I began my career in 1980 at $25K/year. The college grads we hired this year for the exact same entry level position started at ~$75K/year. That's so for my firm and our competitors; we all pay comparable salaries expressly to remove money from the consideration of whether a recruit chooses our firm or another and place the relationship and firm culture at the forefront of their decision making process. No, they are not "blue collar" workers, but neither are they entry level investment bankers and stock brokers.
The "writing was on the wall" in 1980 just as it now. It was no secret that technology was going to automate millions out of work. That was obvious and foreseeable the instant we all had calculators and
Simons. It was from that moment on a matter of "when," not "whether." Yes, millions of folks ignored the clues. That they did isn't Democrats' or Republican's fault. It is the fault of the individuals who didn't pay attention to the world in which they lived, how it was changing and what they needed to do to keep pace with the changes.
Blue:
Union workers weren't "back in the day" overpaid. Then their labors were in demand and not replaceable by capital. That's no longer so; thus to pay an inflation adjusted comparable wage today for the same labor union workers performed some 40 years ago would be overpaying for that type of labor.
Pink:
It was neither. It was nothing but a recognition that the cost of labor was greater than the cost of capital, equipment that could instead be used to accomplish the same outcome as the labor. Assailing the middle class was not the intention of the deans and doyennes of industry and politics.
Green:
Almost certainly not. What it should mean, at least in my mind, is transforming millions of people into workers who can perform the work that is now in demand and well compensated. That work is rarely these days "blue collar" work in the classic sense of the term.
Brown:
I'm not sure what to make of those questions. Do you truly want answers to them? If not, and I suspect not, what is the point you're getting at by presenting them?
