Is there a supply chain problem?

What about the poor people you guys said you were going to look out for? The ones who couldn't afford rent or groceries. Remember them? They are going to pay $2400 more? And you claim a shit ton of high paying manufacturing jobs are coming home in 2 years? They just need to wait till 2027? Then they just need to go get hired at these new factories. Are they close to their homes? Oh so they have to relocate too?

Your solution to the problem with our economy seems like a bs plan. The only problem we have is today, the CEO's make all the money and they don't share with workers like they did back when 35% of our workforce was unionized. Union workers did great under Biden. But they had to go on strike. They did and they won.

Maybe if the CEO's stopped giving themselves all the raises. Did you know from 1978 to now CEO pay has gone up 1322% and our wages only 18%?

Many many ways they have cut into how much we make and made themselves richer. Broke unions, sent jobs overseas, hired illegals, no raises for you but raises for the CEO. This makes the companies more profitable so the shareholders/stakeholders get richer on labors back.

All 350 of them? Wow!

How many people work for those 350 fortune 500 companies? They only got 18% raises.

Do you think you did better? A guy who works for a company that isn't in the fortune 500? I bet you did worse than them. The only difference is your CEO's pay didn't go up 1322%. But it went up more than yours did.

Punishing rich people is not a good way to run an economy. Socialism has never worked.

It's not socialism. It's called a progressive tax system. Where the rich are properly taxed. Can't pay off the debt without raising taxes. Come on pussies. You rich people can endure it for a few years. You've asked us to for 40 years.

You can't show that's the case.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yes, my pay went up more than 18% since 1978.
A lot more.

I can't but the Economic Policy Institute can and did.

CEO pay has risen by 1,322% compared to the pay of a typical worker, which has only increased by 18%, according to the Economic Policy Institute. This disparity highlights a growing trend of income inequality between top executives and other employees.

Rich people in the United States usually do good things with their money. It helps to have rich people in the country, makes us all wealthier.

Food prices really don't make much difference to us other than I like to play the game of getting things as cheap as possible for the sport of it. Some elderly people I know on fixed incomes are struggling with groceries these days though. I keep inventing odd jobs for my across the road retired neighbors to do to pay them a few hundred a month just so they don't feel beholding but don't go short either. I am running out of things to ask them to do though where it doesn't seem obvious they are not really helping us out.

There is no end to the charity you can perform.

I wonder how Trump supporters see what he is doing with the economy. Recently on the news they showed somebody from what I think was the UAW saying that he thought the Trump tariffs were a good thing. Or at least lead to good ends. What an asshole. What is the rest of the country supposed to do as shelves go empty? Or prices skyrocket? Auto workers make a pretty good salary. They also have jobs that are pretty safe. Who is such a person to be telling the rest of the U.S. what is good or not in that regard.

Also, Trump has an ex-con economic advisor named Peter Navarro who admitted that Trump's tariffs were essentially a trade embargo. A trade embargo can't be good for the economy. And Trump is putting the cart before the horse. If you want things made here, start making them here. THEN cut those products from other countries. Like it or not, Biden did better at the economy than Trump. Here is a meme with graphs to help prove it.

Oh my...this string didn't age well! LOL

The EPI and the USSR agree with you.

I don't really think of it is charity I suppose. I think of it as being neighborly. I guess I see "charity" as a more helping strangers thing.

Well thanks for helping them.

Yes, I agree. That's why Democrats aren't anti rich. They just aren't owned as much as Republicans are. FDR was rich and when he passed the New Deal, something that helped poor and middle class Americans, the rich called him a traitor to his class.

I'm not anti rich. I would just have NEVER passed the Trump, Bush or Reagan tax breaks. It's one of the 4 or 5 ways the rich got richer as we got poorer. But I'm not going to waste my fingers explaining it to you.

The rich bribe, I mean donate a lot to politicians. It ain't charity. It's to rig the system in their favor. Don't cry about the swamp then suck the swamps cock okay buddy?

You are so biased. You don't know that the Democrats have become the party of the rich, that George Soros funds violent protests and subversive socialist Marxist ideals. Your rich depend on empty shells like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom to turn the United States into something that we don't want (communism). You know know there's no excuse for such ignorance in today's age.

Also you are totally wrong about the tax cuts. They were good and they are going to be good again. Trump will go down in history as one of the greatest.

IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most

Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups.
