I think Obama helped get the economy rolling again. Just wondering why you don’t think Trump is continuing to make the economy to grow?

They want all the money....all the power...all the means of communication that any tyranny aims at acquiring.

All of us but the 1% will be mere servants and warriors to the ruling class of white, Christian aristocracy that still calls itself the Republican party.

Republicans were elected in 2016 because that’s what the voters wanted. Why is that wrong in Republic?

Wages is something companies pay, the government does not regulate wages, except the minimum

The market is up because the profits of companies is up and the outlook for the future is good. Less corporate taxes is a huge reason.

I didn’t , the only thing I disagreed. with was the Auto bailout. They could of filed bankruptcy and started over again. Instead the tax payers funded a huge bailout.

Nothing wrong with that as long as the profits line up with the gains in the market. If the gains go higher then their profits watch for a correction.

The worry is perpetuated by a media that is politically motivated. A healthy economy is worry for Democrats trying to get elected, so they claim the sky is falling, even when it’s not

I have seen this before, when people start believing that the economy will go up forever, it is the beginning of the end for that market. Beware and be careful, nothing goes up forever and when it goes down, it goes down hard.

Among those decadent "1% ers", which side of the political aisle do most of them fall? More vote Republican?? More vote Democrat?

Certainly warrants some serious research!!!

They vote corporate. Both parties have a wide selection.

Yes, but I measure prosperity by the expansion of the middle class. To that end, I would enact Bernie Sanders' proposals.

The decadent/greedy 1% ers vote Republican.
The decent/real-Americans who care about others and their country vote against Republicans.

The amount of money one has in the bank means little.
The amount of brain and heart cells is whet matters.
