Look left, look right.

If you're not a traitor, thief, and Nazi, then (statistically) one of the two people you just looked at is.

Though I prefer McCartney’s 🎶 vision, it is pretty evident that what rules this nation’s current hate driven corporate motivation is “...he who dies with the most money wins.”

Small victory...they will still die.

Is that wages aren’t moving because decades of slowly eroding unions have left the worker essentially powerless to demand their “fair share” of the pie.

Republicans continue to successfully sell Supply Side Economics, (trickle down).

The evidence shows the exact opposite happens.

All of their selling points are lies.

They have zero evidence to back up their claims.

All of the evidence is against their claims.

This is intentional.

They won't stop until they have every penny from Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

Republicans are EVIL, CORRUPT, LIARS !!!!!!!!!

Did anyone really expect anything else? Our company's stock is the highest I have seen it in years. Only the people at the very top get bonuses. The rest of us get profit sharing in the form of company stock. My salary has stayed flat.

It will change and become more balanced again, one way or another; peacefully or by revolution. These levels can't be sustained.

These levels are similar to the late 1920s. Fortunately, the USA got socialism-lite instead of communism.

Vote Democrat in 2018 and 2020.

The poorer you make people, the more malleable they are to demagoguery. Kill the unions, then blame the unions for killing the business
