because they've cut everyones wages who are paid by the hour to the bone. Otherwise that 37% would be closer to 20%

I've said this on my show many times. One of the differences between now and pre 1968 that has caused the wealth differential between the 1% and everyone else is that the owner class is pocketing the difference between the increase in productivity from the pre 1970's US and today since wages have not increased.

of this nation is doomed to fail.

It is that simple.

Turning citizens into net tax payers from net tax users should be the goal of government and every business in this nation, as it also gives those that need it the most disposable income to stimulate economic growth by spending on higher-value purchases, and pay higher net taxes which will enable this nation to finally re-invest in itself without borrowing to subsidize businesses.


It's a long-term win/win strategy for workers and employers.

But the 1% only sees four quarters out and demands instant gratification and massive returns on their gambles .

Now they earn a lot less.

What would it be if the increases were tied to pay for Congress? Social security? Federal workers? Just curious.

much as the idiotic ideology of Trickle Down Econocomics. Maybe enough people will start to realize their suspicions, that they have been somehow screwed, are supported by the facts.

People should also criticize and mock the GOP toadieville of M$M for repeating Trickle-Down horseshit as if it was generally accepted superstition while being ever so careful to not mention the empirical evidence proves Trickle-Down Supply-Side Econocomics is nonsense, demonstrated by the facts to be total bullshit.
