1 manufacturing job is worth 3 fracking jobs.Well actually the economy is getting a little better and educated Americans are starting to get raises. Thanks Obama.If you want to live in a country wit low taxes and low regulations and no social services go to Pakistan.
One thing all nations have in common is they all have poor people and rich people. When all the money is in 1%s hands, that's a problem.
If all the money is truly in the hands of the 1%, why do I see all these new brick homes being sold, all these new cars, trucks, and boats being sold, and all these citizens running around with high-priced cell phones. What you are claiming just doesn't make much sense.
But uneducated Americans are still struggling. The top 1% mostly fucked them to get richer.
No thanks to DumBama. Our economy is the result of more money in the pockets of Americans thanks to Fracking which lowered all of our fuel bills. Fracking is just yet another enemy of the left which they've been trying to slow down. More money means more spending and that's what we have to be thankful for.
How is the 1% screwing the uneducated Americans still struggling?
I've seen a lot of manufacturing jobs go to pot. Don't get me wrong, those folks employed in manufacturing jobs are happy campers. Many of them make a fair wage. I know guys who work and drive new pickup trucks and have nice boats. They work a 40 hour work week and spend their Saturdays and Sundays drinking beer, making babies, and fishing. Maybe they work in a carpet factory or run a machine in a paper mill. When the mill folds and closes down, these folks are out of a job with no real skill to fall back on.
One of my sons doesn't even have a HS diploma, but made more money than barack obama last year.You have to have at least a trade certification or associates degree to be considered educated. People who only have a high school degree make less than people with associates. People who have bachelor "in general" make more than associates. People with masters make more than bachelors.Well actually the economy is getting a little better and educated Americans are starting to get raises. Thanks Obama.If you want to live in a country wit low taxes and low regulations and no social services go to Pakistan.

Then the uneducated should get off their collective butts and get an education. We have public schools everywhere.
If you're a plumber who's certified you are educated imo
Yeah, if you see Democrats taking over your community, i advise you to run like hell. Escape immediately. Cause it's gonna get ugly. The Democrats have destroyed many once great Cities and States in this country. It's their dismal track record. So if you see the takeover happening, just get out fast.
As always, dupe. Change the channel.They pay fine- just restore fed aid and voila. Do you know about Boooshies changing laws so their pals could start online scam colleges to fleece returning GIs? I didn't think so. Damn commies at 60 Minutes....I read it. Booosh screwed it all up, privatizing loans with his banker pals, and Pubs have blocked Dem reform like a 10% of income cap, lower rates, and cap on years paid. Also cut fed aid to public U's so their cost doubled just under him- we need cheap public U's to kep private costs down. . Duped again!Breitbart LOL.
...and mainly Pub mindless obstruction of reform duh...
Hey Duh, read the piece instead of just criticizing it. Maybe you'll learn how to use hyperlinks if you don't like the original.
So would you work for those cheap "U's" for a lot less money?
College is a business. Like any business, the more demand and less supply, the higher the price tag. If the government puts more people into college--especially those that can't repay the loans, then you have a lot more demand than supply.
No, I never heard of it, but I'm sure you have a link.
Sure. Has nothing to do with discrimination by the GOPers against blacks or white flight lol or manufacturing leaving the rust belt...or Pubs wrecking gov't entities like the PO to serve their greedy idiot masters...Thanks for 9/11, the stupidest wars ever, the corrupt world depression, and 7 years of mindless obstruction. Anything for the billionaire brainwashers, dingbat.Yeah, if you see Democrats taking over your community, i advise you to run like hell. Escape immediately. Cause it's gonna get ugly.

Agreed, they are like locusts. They destroy where they are, then move to another location. They aren't smart enough to figure out it was they who destroyed where they were, so the cycle starts again, and they destroy the new are/region/state they move too.
Until these lefties become intelligent enough to admit, that 4/5ths of everything the government touches turns to poop, and they are almost always in charge of the government creating the poop, we are all in trouble.
And let us also be fair here...........it is NOT just because it is them, it is because just like when you go to your sates DMV, or the Social Security board, nobody is there trying to make things faster so someone can make more money. They get paid if they take care of 1 person a day, or 100 people a day. If their payroll goes over budget, either the state, local, or Feds will pick up the tab, and raise taxes on us.....the plebes, to cover the cost.
That is what lefties do not want to understand, or even try to comprehend. We are ALL paying through the nose because they do NOT have to be efficient at all. And when they get in competition with a private organization, the government entity gets hosed each and every time. (think Post Office, Fed-EX) Do lefties understand that if they got their stuff efficient, they could fund way more things they want with the same amount of money? But no, they would rather spend their time telling all of us how evil and uncivil we are, because we demand bang for our, and their......BUCKS!!!!
Stimulus worked-ran out in 2010.
Just all the greedy idiot mega-rich a-hole Pubs who bankroll the GOP, it's propaganda machine, and caused the world depression and the ruin of our middle class and country, duh dumbass.What about Countrywide etc- Pals of Booshies...not pressure anyone...funny stuff!!They WERE NOT created by F+F or HUD. F+F's share of the market went from 75% to 25% in 2002-3, and didn't get on board (pressured by GOP) until later.Thank you, DEMS. OTOH, discrimination is alive and well. And Bush crony/thief regulators and private lenders wrecked the world with A+ rated private toxic loans 2002-8....
So tell us Wall Street genius, what were the banks supposed to do with all those bad securities created by HUD and F&F? And speaking of race, what do you suppose happened to all those blacks when they got foreclosed on since they couldn't afford the payments?
The GOP didn't pressure anybody. You're so FOS.
F&F make the regulations banks have to go by in order to make loans. If a bank doesn't comply with those regulations, they can't sell those loans off. They have to keep them.
Pals of Bush? Lol, prove it. You libs with your Bush buddies. Everybody is a buddy of Bush apparently.
And then pull up the Dem aid ladder behind you that made that possible...see Carson, Cruz, Rubio etc etc..great job!Most of you got a loan from daddyWe have a wealth distribution problem. CEO making too much and employees not making enough. Rich getting richer on cheap housing and stock market, the masses making 1% on their savings. Corporations pay lower taxes, Republican gov Rick Snyder raises our taxes.If you want to live in a country wit low taxes and low regulations and no social services go to Pakistan.
One thing all nations have in common is they all have poor people and rich people. When all the money is in 1%s hands, that's a problem.
No, that's not the problem. The problem is liberal thinking.
Liberals think we live in a bubble. Within our bubble, there is only so much money. Therefore if one has too much money, that means others have less.
There is no truth to that flawed liberal logic. If that were the case, when I approach my employer for a wage increase, and he tells me he would love to give me a raise, but he can't because the rich have too much money, then it would be a different issue.
But that's never happened in this country. That's because money is endless for everybody willing to go out and get money. If you want to be poor, then don't work and have no money. If you want to be middle-class, get a good paying job, learn a trade or career, or otherwise open up your own business. If you want to be wealthy, get an advanced education, make a lot of sacrifices like cell phones, satellite television, video games and so on, and take huge investment risks. It's all up to you.
But no matter what you do, you can't blame it on who has more money than you. If we had two wealthy people in this country or 22 million, it doesn't change my life one bit and nobody else's either.
The GOP made things easier for the rich and harder for us. You clearly don't get that.
What we have is a lack of ambition problem. Most of us who own our own businesses and are successful had our roots in poverty or below poverty. We simply were not satisfied with our lot in life and worked hard to change it ourselves instead of sitting on our butts lusting after someone else's money or waiting on the government to assist us.
This one didn't. My parents were uneducated and below the poverty level. Their lot in life is what made me determined I was not going to live my life the way they did.

From 2007:
The USA is the only modern country in the world where full time workers live in poverty and have no health care (750k bankruptcies a year, most HAVE insurance - crap insurance!)After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?
Pubs have blocked EVERYTHING since 2/4/2010- don't be duped...again.
Total Pub Propaganda BS: ACORN, Kenyan Muslim Marxist,Tides, Mosque, Death Panel, lose your doctor, huge costs, DEBT CRISIS, Obama Recession, stimulus failed, Barney Frank, Nazi Soros, Nazi socialists, Volt suqs, Iran making bomb etc etc.
I'm sorry- dupes are lovely people- but I can't take their lazy, ignorant, careless, stupid politics a minute longer. Sorry

Then tell me why all the new subdivisions in my locale are selling out new homes as fast as they can build them and how the new car and truck dealers are adding on and building on and selling so many new vehicles? Why are there so many at all the eating places that you have to stand in line? Why all the shoppers in the mall you can't find a parking place? Where do you live? In the Black Hills?
How has right to work raised wages?What percent of the population do you think can do what you did? 5%? Or could a monkey do what you did?Most of you got a loan from daddyWe have a wealth distribution problem. CEO making too much and employees not making enough.

I'm not worrying about you or me. I'm talking about the masses?
I notice either you blame Obama for their wooes but now you're suggesting its only the uneducated masses for the fact the rich got the government to screw the masses and the rich got richer.
Oh I forgot, you don't think government should regulate this kind of thing.
The problem with Republicans is that they're wrong on so many levels it's hard to explain
Oh really, did you also say that about republicans when Michigan went Right to Work?
More Jobs, Higher Pay Since Right-to-Work Passed in Michigan
Since its right-to-work law took effect, Michigan has experienced the nation's sixth-largest growth in the number of people working, adding 141,990 jobs from March 2013 through December 2014, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics
James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, said not only has there been an increase in employment since right-to-work was passed in Michigan, but incomes in the state have grown
Sure. Has nothing to do with discrimination by the GOPers against blacks or white flight lol or manufacturing leaving the rust belt...
You didn't become successful by yourself.

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.
Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:
1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.
Over the past 30 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.
But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):
1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%
A 13% drop since 1980
2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.
Share of National Income going to Top 10%:
1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%
An increase of 16% since Reagan.
3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.
The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.
1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)
A 12.3% drop after Reagan.
4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.
Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
A 45% increase after 1980.
5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.
Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:
1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%
A 5.6 times increase.
6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.
The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:
1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%
A 10% Decrease.

Correction: Democrats own nearly every major US city, and every major US city owns a couple ghettos. Just a fact of urban life. Cities have ghettos. As long as we have capitalism, where some people have to lose where others gain, that won't change. Has nothing to do with Democratic policies per se.
