U.S. Middle Class nearly gone

[BenSkywalker]

It's that way here.

Yes it is, not nearly as bad as the off the cliff lunatic right Canadian system, but it is more than would be believed by some.

The problem is, people don't truly have their mind around what 'rich' is. It isn't someone who makes $200k a year, that's for damn sure, they aren't close to sniffing rich. With poverty on one end of the scale, and Donald Trump on the other, his secretary is a whole hell of a lot closer to poverty than Donald, and she probably makes over $200k.

We have dumb as fuck progressives using the same tired as hell class warfare arguments that anyone that makes a dollar more then you is a dirty, greedy thief and the terribly uneducated masses lap it up. Meanwhile, a multi billion dollar corporation will shut down another major plant sending tens of thousands of jobs to China while the progtards have their pitchforks out for people making 1% of those that sent those jobs overseas are compensated.

Reducing the available disposable income for those most apt to spend it is just stupid in our current economy. The "progressives" have set up a system where people pay more in taxes then corporations sitting on, in at least one case, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of profits they have laying around. Companies that employ hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in what amounts to slave labor camps, while employing a couple thousand Americans. The "progressive" way of dealing with it? Tax the few employees they do have here through the roof. Because, you know, all of their salaries combined in totality don't touch a weeks profits for the company- but the "progressives" are nothing but little blow up dolls that multi billion dollar corporations use at will.

The Democrats and Republicans scream across the aisle at each others' extremism, while being less then 1% off in almost everything.
