Canada's middle class Is better than ours. This is despite...

[Hutch Starskey]

Just what corrupt Booshies did and allowed. Thanks for the depression and the resultant messes we have around the world. Almost as bad as the 30's. Thank god Dems got in fast this time. GD stupid greedy corrupt GOP.

Yup, Bush allowed the stupid push to give mortgages to bad risks.
Even helped it along.

Thank god Dems got in fast this time.

Yeah, Obama fixed things so fast, the recession ended in June 2009.
I know he's a magic negro, but even you can't credit the recession's end to anything he did.

Of course the weakest recovery ever is all his.

All GOP's, dummie. Or where is the infrastructure, immigration bills, min wage hike, free community college, training for 4 million tech jobs going begginf, tax reform or ANYTHING he wanted the last 6 years. Duh dupe.

Stimulus worked, ran out in 2010. Along with working congress.

All GOP's, dummie.

Reagan never had a GOP House. Only had a GOP Senate for 6 years.
Obama had House and Senate, with large majorities, for 2 years. Had the Senate for 6 years.
And you've been whining about how much Reagan got done and how little Obama got done.

Are Dems always gonna be such whiney pussies?

Dupe.

Stimulus worked,

Derp.

You know, it's so dumb to point out the Dem majority and assert that it's their fault that the world's problems weren't solved during that time and say nothing of the party who has the majority of the rest of the time.

The Repubs will have had both houses for the same time come Jan of 17. Should the world be fixed by then?

Is income inequality better or worse than when Obama became president?
It's worse. It isn't the world's problems. It's one problem. He couldn't solve one problem, even one he campaigned one.

Obama doesn't sign paychecks either dope.
Why you fools blame everyone but the guy who signs the checks is beyond me.

 

[OKTexas]

NAME CALLING, REALLY??????????????? You want a lesson in name calling just read your own post dumbass. And I have just as much proof that fags took over mental health doctrine as you do that fags are born that way. And honestly I don't have any problem with your ordinary fags, it's the faghadist that think they can command us to reorder society to suit them and the regressives that enable them I have a problem with.

lol my name calling is irrelevant. Your name calling applies to ANY gay man that you have never even necessarily interacted. Your insult is a childish generalization. Seriously, grow the fuck up. Being gay is not a reflection of one's character, intelligence, or mental well-being.

Well child, even the World Health Organization disagreed with you till 26 years ago, and many health professional still do. Hey I got an idea, how about we reorganize society to accommodate nudist, at least they can prove they WERE born that way.

Oh really? And what makes it a mental disorder by today's standards? Many things are no longer considered mental disorders because of prior prejudice. Today's standards are what matters. You calling them fags doesn't mean jack shit and only shows your bigotry.

Still got no balls I see. You pathetic hypocrite.

Wait I'm supposed to justify nudism to you? Nudism has never been considered a mental disorder you dumb shit.

A mental disorder can only be considered a mental disorder if it Causes distress to the individual and/or harms other people.

No, you want to completely reorder society for a minuscule minority who you claim aren't mentally ill, I just asked if your in favor of doing the same for another minority? I mean if faghadist don't have to accept societies definition of marriage, why should nudist have to accept societies definition of modesty and appropriate dress?

A plan to raise American incomes

Hillary will:

• Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.
  
  
• Create good-paying jobs and get pay rising by investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to strengthen our economy and growth.
  
  
• Close corporate tax loopholes and make the most fortunate pay their fair share.

Hillary believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans.

Too many families are working harder and harder, but still not getting ahead. Our country is standing again, but we’re not yet running the way we should be. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Hillary understands that in order to raise incomes, we need strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. And she has a plan to get us there.

Strong growth

Hillary will invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to create jobs and strengthen our economy. And she’ll provide tax relief to working families and small businesses. That’s how we’ll move toward a full employment economy that creates jobs, pushes businesses to compete over workers, and raises incomes.

Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profitswith their employees.

Unleash small business growth. Hillary’s father owned a small business—and she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. She’s put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.

Create a New College Compact. Hillary’s New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at today’s lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.

Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nation’s competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Lift up participation in the workforce—especially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growth—and to lifting incomes for working families.

Hillary has a strategy to "Make It in America"—and harness the strength of manufacturing nationwide.



Fair growth

Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our country’s basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.

Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highs—but workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.

Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.

Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.

Slick Willie promised a middle class tax cut and then he raised their taxes once he got in office.
I think she's lying, because that's what Clintons do best.

link to that bs, dupe? I'm guessing he signed a GOP bill at most. As always with this crap. We desperately need a Dem with congress REALLY controlled. Hopefully Trump can deliver.

link to that bs, dupe?

You don't remember 1993? How old are you?

I'm guessing he signed a GOP bill at most.

Not a single Republican signed his 1993 middle class tax hike. It was a big part of the 1994 Revolution. Dupe.

BS.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Frank is a dope, dork and dupe.

A median of 18k is pathetic. And I suppose it's all because of all Obama's policies and laws, which the dupes pontificate about, but can't identify- mainly because of total GOP obstruction all of his administration. The New BS GOP and its dupes are a disgrace.

Calculating a median in that way is pathetic.

Do you know what median means? I don't think you do.

me·di·an
ˈmēdēən/
adjective

1. 1.
   denoting or relating to a value or quantity lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of observed values or quantities, such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below it.
   "the median duration of this treatment was four months"
2. 2.
   ANATOMYtechnical
   situated in the middle, especially of the body.
   "the median part of the sternum"

noun

1. 1.
   the median value of a range of values.
   
   
2. 2.
   NORTH AMERICAN
   the strip of land between the lanes of opposing traffic on a divided highway.

A median might be a useful stat for a normal distribution.

View attachment 77527

Not as useful for a Pareto distribution.

View attachment 77528

Tell us some more about the 1% middle class. ..Do you even understand what you posted?

William - "Americans (median)" - just hopeless. Americans are not the median American in the income distribution.

All income and wealth distributions are power law or steep peak, long level tail distributed, and have been everywhere in the world for as long as statistics in the matter have existed. The median in such distributions only characterizes the right tail. 85% of income in the US occurs above the median. That means most of what everyone relies on to live was earned by someone well above the median. The reality is the *mean* accurately reflects what happens with the American middle class. The median only reflects the status of the working poor. This happens because the median - count by noses - includes plenty of people only marginally part of the income distribution to begin with - part time, summer workers, students, retirees filing for their investment income and so forth.

The mean is a good approximation to the middle class, because the segment of the population with incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 per year (by IRS filing) has half of all income and is about half of all filers. The mean is therefore not misleading for this set. The 5% above the upper line there have over 30% of all income and the 50% below the lower line there have less than 20% of all income. When journalist pretend the median is "normal" or is "everyone", they are therefore picking a line that is only at 40% of mean income and pretending everyone falls there. It is just statistical malpractice to characterized a power law distribution by its median.

Dude, where's my rate hike? Financials tumble post-jobs

This guy, Jason Cawley, does a much better job explaining it than I could.
I don't expect you to understand, you're not very bright.

Lol what is this "reorder" non sense you are talking about? We are talking about what constitutes mental illness. We are also talking about having respect and maturity for one's sexual preferences that do not cause harm to others. If you cared at all about libertarianism, you wouldn't be the douche bag bigot that you are.

• Close corporate tax loopholes and make the most fortunate pay their fair share.

Hillary believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans.

Too many families are working harder and harder, but still not getting ahead. Our country is standing again, but we’re not yet running the way we should be. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Hillary understands that in order to raise incomes, we need strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. And she has a plan to get us there.

Strong growth

Hillary will invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to create jobs and strengthen our economy. And she’ll provide tax relief to working families and small businesses. That’s how we’ll move toward a full employment economy that creates jobs, pushes businesses to compete over workers, and raises incomes.

Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profitswith their employees.

Unleash small business growth. Hillary’s father owned a small business—and she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. She’s put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.

Create a New College Compact. Hillary’s New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at today’s lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.

Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nation’s competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Lift up participation in the workforce—especially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growth—and to lifting incomes for working families.

Hillary has a strategy to "Make It in America"—and harness the strength of manufacturing nationwide.



Fair growth

Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our country’s basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.

Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highs—but workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.

Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.

Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.

Slick Willie promised a middle class tax cut and then he raised their taxes once he got in office.
I think she's lying, because that's what Clintons do best.

BS.

Mr. Clinton's statements on who would be entitled to the middle-class tax cut have changed somewhat recently, but the difference seems to be more apparent than real.

On Oct. 11, in his first debate with Mr. Bush and Ross Perot, Mr. Clinton said the tax relief would go to "middle class people with families with incomes of under $60,000." Now, he is saying the figure is $80,000.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Taxes; Clinton Promises to Protect Middle Class on Taxes

As A Part Of The 1993 Budget, Bill Clinton Signed Into Law A $241 Billion Tax Hike. "Mr. Clinton and his supporters in Congress stressed that 80 percent of the new taxes would be paid by taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 and that 90 percent would be paid by those with incomes above $100,000. The legislation would lower the annual budget deficit by a total of $496 billion over the next five years, with $241 billion coming from tax increases and $255 billion from spending cuts." (David Rosenbaum, "The Budget Struggle," The New York Times, 8/6/93)

• The Budget Would Raises Income Taxes By 5% Percent For Middle-Income Earners. "The bill would raise the top tax rate, now 31 percent, to 36 percent for single taxpayers on taxable incomes ranging from $115,000 to $250,000 and for couples with taxable incomes from $140,000 to $250,000. The rate on taxable incomes above $250,000 would be 39.6 percent." (David Rosenbaum, "The Budget Struggle," The New York Times, 8/6/93)
• The Budget Also Raised Taxes On Retired Americans With Incomes "As Low As $34,000" Due To Increased Scrutiny Of Social Security Benefits. "But retired people with incomes as low as $34,000 could face an income tax increase because of the proposed treatment of taxes on Social Security benefits." (David Rosenbaum, "The Budget Struggle," The New York Times, 8/6/93)

Hillary Clinton Supported The 1993 Tax Hikes And Helped Persuade Democrat Members Who Were "Wavering" On Their Support Of 1993 Budget Bill. "The great budget battle ended in August, with the passage of Bill's economic plan. Before the vote, I had spoken with wavering Democrats who worried not only about the tough budget vote, but also about how they would explain equally difficult votes that might follow on health care, guns and trade." (Hillary Clinton, Living History, 2003, p. 179)

Clinton = Middle Class Tax Increases

Ultimately every Republican in Congress voted against the bill, as did a number of Democrats. Vice President Al Gore broke a tie in the Senate on both the Senate bill and the conference report. The House bill passed 219-213 on Thursday, May 27, 1993.[1] The House passed the conference report on Thursday, August 5, 1993, by a vote of 218 to 216 (217 Democrats and 1 independent (Sanders (I-VT)) voting in favor; 41 Democrats and 175 Republicans voting against).[2] The Senate passed the conference report on the last day before their month's vacation, on Friday, August 6, 1993, by a vote of 51 to 50 (50 Democrats plus Vice President Gore voting in favor, 6 Democrats (Lautenberg (D-NJ), Bryan (D-NV), Nunn (D-GA), Johnston (D-LA), Boren (D-OK), and Shelby (D-AL) now (R-AL)) and 44 Republicans voting against). President Clinton signed the bill on August 10, 1993.

A plan to raise American incomes

Hillary will:

• Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.
  
  
• Create good-paying jobs and get pay rising by investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to strengthen our economy and growth.
  
  
• Close corporate tax loopholes and make the most fortunate pay their fair share.

Hillary believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans.

Too many families are working harder and harder, but still not getting ahead. Our country is standing again, but we’re not yet running the way we should be. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Hillary understands that in order to raise incomes, we need strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. And she has a plan to get us there.

Strong growth

Hillary will invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to create jobs and strengthen our economy. And she’ll provide tax relief to working families and small businesses. That’s how we’ll move toward a full employment economy that creates jobs, pushes businesses to compete over workers, and raises incomes.

Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profitswith their employees.

Unleash small business growth. Hillary’s father owned a small business—and she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. She’s put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.

Create a New College Compact. Hillary’s New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at today’s lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.

Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nation’s competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Lift up participation in the workforce—especially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growth—and to lifting incomes for working families.

Hillary has a strategy to "Make It in America"—and harness the strength of manufacturing nationwide.



Fair growth

Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our country’s basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.

Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highs—but workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.

Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.

Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.

Slick Willie promised a middle class tax cut and then he raised their taxes once he got in office.

To the far left the middle class are union jobs only..

That is why this is another failed far left thread..

Huh?

The premise behind the far left in saying "the middle class" is they refer to union jobs only. To them the unions jobs are the middle class..

Is that right?

Yes for the far left..

"The middle class" unions are the bread and butter for the DNC coffers..

Top Organization Contributors | OpenSecrets

Well how about you give us your definition of the middle class as a baseline to show the discrepancies you claim.

And you just proved my point that the far left sees "the middle class" as union jobs only!

No 1993 tax hike on MC, but on the rich. Damn computer.

The Budget Would Raises Income Taxes By 5% Percent For Middle-Income Earners. "The bill would raise the top tax rate, now 31 percent, to 36 percent for single taxpayers on taxable incomes ranging from $115,000 to $250,000 and for couples with taxable incomes from $140,000 to $250,000. The rate on taxable incomes above $250,000 would be 39.6 percent." (David Rosenbaum, "The Budget Struggle," The New York Times, 8/6/93)

• The Budget Also Raised Taxes On Retired Americans With Incomes "As Low As $34,000" Due To Increased Scrutiny Of Social Security Benefits. "But retired people with incomes as low as $34,000 could face an income tax increase because of the proposed treatment of taxes on Social Security benefits." (David Rosenbaum, "The Budget Struggle," The New York Times, 8/6/93)

NYT says you're a liar.

Another reason why this thread is a failure is because Candai is mostly white:

So it just goes to show that a socialist system will work when white people are the over whelming majority!

So proves once again that the far left are the true racists!

Ok, so it's the non-whites fault, again?

And once again the far left drones do not how to make real comparisons, other than through the far left religious scriptures.

How America's middle class fell behind its Canadian neighbours

If you’re a proud member of America’s middle class, you may have been startled to learn last week that your after-tax income now makes you worse off than your Canadian neighbors to the north. They can now claim the title of the richest middle class on the planet.

Let’s take a look at the bombshell that the New York Times dropped in our midstlast week. It’s based on data from the Luxembourg Income Study Database, and focuses squarely on median income.

That means that instead of being distorted by the impact of millionaires and billionaires becoming still richer and the wealth gap becoming still wider, using this data gives analysts a sense of the experience of the average household in any given country. It also means an economist can compare overall economic growth of a country to the experience of individual households in that country – and by those standards, the United States just doesn’t come off that well.

Because while our economy has been growing more rapidly than those of other nations, a smaller percentage of those households is sharing in that prosperity, the data suggests. (Income inequality is at its highest level since 1928.)

Income, take home pay, better for the middle class Canandian than for the middle class American. looks like Billy was right on this.

If you’re a proud member of America’s middle class, you may have been startled to learn last week that your after-tax income now makes you worse off than your Canadian neighbors to the north.


Median per capita income in the U.S. has barely budged since 2000, while Canadians have seen their median income jump 20 percent.

Holy crap! There may be a less useful stat than "median per capita income", but I'll be damned if I can think of it.

Median means you line up all the numbers from lowest to highest and the number in the middle is the median.
How you turn that into a per capita number is some kind of liberal head-up-assery for sure.
Did they take the median household income and divide it by the average household size?

Wow, moronic for sure.
.

Little things like facts, reality and statistics are irrelevant for Billy Major Fail, worst poster on USMB. He gets a factoid to show whatever and runs with it.
And somehow the idea that Obama, who has been president for nearly 8years is actually responsible for the shitty economy never enters his mind.

Little things like facts, reality and statistics are irrelevant for Billy Major Fail, worst poster on USMB.

What does that say about you when you feel compelled to point that out in three to five posts a page?

Obviously Billy is on to something as you all feel the need to jump on him with extreme vitriol.

Good job Billy. Make their heads spin and spit nonsense at you. That's when you know you've nailed it.

So the fact that everyone jumped in to show how wrong he was, how fallacious his post, how stupid his assertions, how they lacked any suppport or evidence indicates that he was correct?

The overwhelming lip service without corroboration tipped your hand.

The irony impaired far left drones and their comments!

Too many families are working harder and harder, but still not getting ahead. Our country is standing again, but we’re not yet running the way we should be. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Hillary understands that in order to raise incomes, we need strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. And she has a plan to get us there.
Strong growth
Hillary will invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to create jobs and strengthen our economy. And she’ll provide tax relief to working families and small businesses. That’s how we’ll move toward a full employment economy that creates jobs, pushes businesses to compete over workers, and raises incomes.
Strong growth
Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profits with their employees.
Unleash small business growth. Hillary’s father owned a small business—and she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. She’s put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.

Create a New College Compact. Hillary’s New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at today’s lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.

Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nation’s competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Lift up participation in the workforce—especially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growth—and to lifting incomes for working families.
Hillary has a strategy to "Make It in America"—and harness the strength of manufacturing nationwide.

Fair growth
Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our country’s basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.

Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highs—but workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.
Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Long-term growth
Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.
Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Yes, another Clinton lying about taxes. Durr.

If you had a clue, you'd be be a liar. The 1993 tax hike was on the rich.

As A Part Of The 1993 Budget, Bill Clinton Signed Into Law A $241 Billion Tax Hike. "Mr. Clinton and his supporters in Congress stressed that 80 percent of the new taxes would be paid by taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 and that 90 percent would be paid by those with incomes above $100,000.

Instead of a middle class tax cut, he raised taxes, even on those making less than $100,000 and also taxed poor old retired people on Social Security.

That was our first clue what lying scumbags the Clintons were.
