It's true, all the money is flowing to the rich. The middle class are slowly becoming extinct.

Re: Rich getting richer, while poor getting poorer, report says
To get to the top 10% you only need to make $120k, that's a husband and wife filing jointly with modest middle class jobs.

See how they slide that shit down? It used to be let's kill the 1%, now it's the 10%.

Poor people won't make more money until we start building things in America again, that's how dumb people get a good income.

The people in the bottom 25% of income are never going to be doctors and lawyers, for them it's either work on an assembly line for good money or work at Dunkin Donuts serving coffee to people with jobs that actually accomplish something.

Regulations are making those people poor, make us competitive to manufacture shit and the money will come.

You don't even need to roll back environmental regulations, just get rid of the red tape. People aren't building factories here because it takes 5 years to make sure there aren't any tree frogs in the area before they can get a permit... fuck the tree frogs I'm on team people.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


They can get rid of regulations and lower pay but will never be able to compete with Communist Labor.

You can pick any year in our countries history, and the workers under Capitalism always make more than labor under Communism where workers have no rights and unions are banned.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78327367


Well, we are surviving at the moment... so maybe we don't have to compete on an even par, but maybe if we just compete better... things will be better.

thats socialism for ya.

all these rules and regulations only benefit the fortune 100 companies and the rich. it eliminates their competition.

like the bullshit minimum wage for exams.

then the slaves beg for more rules and regulations as if it's going to fix anything.

Nothing to do with that you stupid. Printing money i.c.m. with neo-liberal economics is causing the gap between rich and poor.

When has that ever not been the case on this planet?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43943619


hesright

1/4 of Americans make less than 10$ per hour, bellow federal poverty

in 2012 the top 10% earners took home more than 50% of all income

that's the highest % in last 100 years

By 2015, America’s top 10% already averaged more than nine times as much income as the bottom 90%. And Americans in the top 1% averaged over 40 times more income than the bottom 90%. The chart below shows a breakdown of average household incomes ranging from the bottom 90% to the top .1%.

we can't all be equal simple as that pigchef
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20038442



1/4 of Americans make less than $10 per hour...

Does this also take in account all the retirees that have gone back to work part time. They collect Social Security and work just for spending money and to be around other people...

Why would anyone want to stay in a $10 per hour job, unless you are a newbie...

People need to get motivated and work up the company ladder. Don't get jobs that are dead ends...

Thanks to Obamacare, many companies only offer part time employment. Where management level is usually full time with benefits...

Some people just don't want to get ahead and apply themselves. They just want to flip burgers, wash dishes, and do the bare minimum at work and expect to get paid like a full time employee that has been working for the company for years...

If you live in a Blue State, then get out and move to a Red State. Don't bring your Blue State mentality and expect to get ahead in a Red State. Live outside city limits and rents will be cheaper...

I moved to Oklahoma because it's a Red State and gas, lodging and food is cheap. Quality of life is much better...

Re: Rich getting richer, while poor getting poorer, report says
Well, duh, when you print money and assets are the only thing climbing in prices, the wealth creation goes to the rich.

The street isn't getting that money.

Corporations are insulated and the poor isn't when rates begin to normalize.


Why Trump attaches himself to the stock market and the federal reserve is beyond understanding. He is likely ignorant of their goals.

They gave been kicking the can down the road until the market finally says enough or the world dependent on the dollar has had enough.

You know, for literally three DECADES, I've been hearing this same horse shit about "the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer."

When will the poor actually run out? I hope it's soon so we can be rid of them and stop hearing this bullshit.

People are POOR because of the lives they lead or their skill levels. Being drunk and/or high on drugs all the time, or not having basic education are the causes of being poor.

It's not noble to be poor. It's nothing to be proud of or to wear like a badge of honor.

In places where the majority of people feel the opposite of the way you do, such as California/San Francisco, Mexico, France, Venezuela, South Africa, etc, the misery and poverty rates (along with corruption) still appear to be quite high.

If liberals believe a lot of left-leaning ideas, policies and public figures will somehow make reality nicey-comfy-huggy-snuggly, they need to point to a place where that's clearly evident.

Serves the POOR AND DOWNTRODDEN people right.

They got rid of the Kings/Monarchs.

Who at least protected them from invaders and immigrants in the past, like Charles Martel, John Sobieski, Vlad Tepes.

Now they can watch as democracy, arts-entertainment and big-business, welcome in hordes of immigrants as cheap labor and asylum seekers.

Actually, greatest numbers of billionaire big-businnessmen and globalists, are found in the largest "demcracy"....America.

We the people.... f*kked up badly.

Do you know that the greatest sh*tholes and crime-ridden countries are all democracies?

And stop whining about "leftism"

Democracy, socialism and leftism are about the same thing.

And communism is just a later derivative of them.

Nowadays, you have the entire gamut of extreme leftism to extreme rightism, existing under the democratic umbrella.

Because Trump is forcing some of the greedy American globalist big-buinessmen, to relocate their factories to America (though he himself still has a lot overseas opertaions and hotels as well). Also cutting taxes for them, which....benefits him as well.

Anyway, its still soubtful if that is going to help Trump to win 2020.

Since the 3rd worlders are now 35% of the US population.

And 80% of them always vote Democratic party, and around 40% of the White population as well.

Note the Virginia election results.

And if the Democrats can throw in a person with good artistic and entertainment skills like Obama Obongo (Hillary was very bad!), then Trump is out.

Good economy or not.
