Democrats are now party of the rich

[struth]

So? Let's see how Biden improved on Trump's numbers.

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37%

You want to give Trump credit?

Funny because Trump said Obama's unemployment number wasn't real. But as soon as Trump got in and it went from 4.8% to 4.7% suddenly it was real and Trump was the greatest.

So does Obama get credit for the good that happened in 2017 and 2018? Right before Trump started a trade war with China and in 2019 he only had 2.3% growth.

Xiden didn't improve, he gave us record covid deaths, record inflation, and skyrocketing interest rates....getting bigger numbers there isn't an improvement

The Biden fund raiser in New York raised 25 million dollars for Joe Biden's campaign. Ther is no doubt that Biden has turned his back on middle class Americans.

Democrats being party of the rich could cost them 2024 election

A growing body of research shows wealthier Americans flocking to the Democratic Party. The working class, meanwhile, has been forgotten.

She's not suggesting "price controls". She's suggesting controlling profit margins to end price gouging. Big difference. Grocery stores have raised their profits over costs by 40%. since 2020. THAT'S a big chunk of your grocery inflation.

If giving money away does nothing for America STOP GIVING TAX CUTS TO THE WEALTHY. Republicans have no qualms about giving money to billionaires, but "free shit" to the working class - no fucking way.

Republicans have bled working people white. The working class owned 5% of the wealth of the nation when Reagan took office. Today they're living on "earned income credits". The middle class is declining.

You have the highest rate of poverty in the First World, and Trump is proposing give another tax cut to the wealthy, and increasing taxes to the working class by putting tariffs on all imports.

80% of the wealth of the nation goes to the top 10%. THIS IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

In Norway, it's 50%. In Canada, it's 40%. The working class is revolting over this inequity. The entire Trump Cult is based on the idea that working people are getting screwed over, and it's true - you are. But it's TRUMP and the REPUBLICANS who have screwed you over, not the Democrats.

Wages are down prices are up... good jobs are getting harder to find and with all of Kamala's words she never told us how she will fix any of it... she never even said what she will do about abortion... and how she would return it to the federal level... she is all talk and no answers....

 

[sealybobo]

Labor??? by labor do you mean working men and women or the fat cats that run the unions?.... its big labor just like big oil and big pharma... the workers are MAGA because they can see their leadership is selling them down the river... China will become the only car manufacturer in the world one day if our leaders have their way... they are building huge auto plants in Mexico... and our laborers will be on welfare....

I don't think it's union workers who are MAGA. It's former union workers.

2023 was a year defined by big wins for labor unions in strikes against GM, Ford and Hollywood studios, and across sectors from health care to casinos.

I'll agree with you on one thing. Those lazy piece of shit union workers were lazy and overpaid. Don't blame the leadership for the workers bad behavior. I believe the argument against unions is they protected bad employees. RIGHT?

Trump gave us record covid deaths. It's why Biden beat him. Did you forget? If it wasn't for Trump's mishandling of covid, he would have won in a landslide.

Trump lied to us about covid. Didn't tell us how serious it was and to social distance and wear masks. Because he didn't tell us it was coming and to social distance, MILLIONS died needlessly.

Here's another bullshit claim from Cons. The media is liberal. OVERWHELMINGLY they say. Well, can you name 5 liberal media personalities that died of covid? Why not? I can name 5 conserative radio hosts who said covid was a hoax and then later died of covid because they weren't vaccinated.

In the last three months, five conservative talk show hosts have died from COVID​

I never accused these shop rats of being smart. They bite the hand that feeds them. Or they don't believe Republicans will ever fuck them over. So being white, they vote based on racism, religion, guns and gays.

Perfect example. Lots of union members voted for Reagan. My dad was one of them. Because Reagan bailed them out in the early 80's. Something Romney/Trump wouldn't do today. They would let Ford go bankrupt to break the unions.

It's why I laugh at these uneducated blue collar workers. Ever since they lost their jobs, how has that worked out for them? Most of them will NEVER make that kind of money again

Opinion | Capitalism is failing the white working class. And the results are deadly.

The astronomical costs of health care are draining jobs, hope and opportunity from working-class Americans.

Why did people die in 2021? Who died in 2021? Unvaccinated people. REPUBLICANS. It was a great year of I told you so's.

The same guy who tried to blame Biden for 2021 deaths has voted against a mask mandate in the U.S. House and criticized Biden's vaccine mandate for employers

Scientists call vaccination the single biggest protection against falling ill and dying from COVID-19.

people who were not fully vaccinated had a 10-times-higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.

the vaccines prevented up to 140,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. during the first five months they were available.

Despite the vaccine, why are there more deaths this year?

Did you even read your own link?

when it comes to looking at 2020 and 2021 pandemic statistics is that 2020 is a ten-month period while 2021 is a full pandemic year. Much of the COVID-19 deaths happened March 2020 and onward

So take off 2 months of deaths under Biden.

Additionally, the U.S. experienced a surge in cases starting winter 2020 near the end of that year, Fox said. Many people died from those 2020 infections in early 2021, and that was well before vaccines were widely available. So while many of the infections in that wave happened in 2020, they were part of the 2021 mortality statistics.

Read your own article man!

"But I think even though vaccines were widely available, I think a lot of the mortality that happened over the summer – during that major delta surge – was happening on unvaccinated individuals," Fox said.

dumbdragon, controling profit margins is price controls.

wow.

"Price controls" establish the prices for specific products. Establishing reasonable levels of profits leaves it up to the company which prices to lower. They could simply revert to their previous profit margins which enabled them to be highly profitable both before and during the pandemic. They just won't have "record profits" anymore.

Unfortunately our digital age makes it easier for retailers and landlords to fix prices, and to collude on those increases, to force consumers to accept the fact they're being screwed over.

prices make profits. Profit controls are the same as price controls.

You think telling people how much money they can make is somehow any better then telling people how much they can charge for their goods or services?

hahahahah

 

[sealybobo]

People died, because Xiden and Harris played politics with people's lives.

Nonsense. You mean the small number of people who died from getting vaccinated?

If you are 10 times likely to die from not being vaccinated if you get covid and you have less than 1% chance of dying from the vaccinate, I find it funny you didn't want to take the chance and get vaccinated. Are you guys stupid? Instead you risked dying from not being vaccinated.

That's like saying you were smarter than us because you played russian roulette with 2 bullets and we only had 1 in the chamber. You know what I'm saying

Did anyone die because they wore a mask and social distanced?

How about this law or rule? A company CEO can't make more than X amount more than their lowest paid workers? What would be wrong with that?

In 2023, the median CEO of an S&P 500 company made 196 times more than the median employee,
This is up from a ratio of 185 in 2022
and a ratio of 3
1 times more in 1978

What did I tell you guys? The rich waged a war on the middle class staring in 1978. In that time 35% of workers were in unions. No more. And when unions disappeared, look at what CEO's did.

VERGOGNA Republicans.

The gap between CEO and employee pay has been widening because CEO pay is rising faster than employee pay, and is closely tied to share prices. In 2023, median CEO compensation was $16.3 million, a 12.6% increase from 2022, while the median S&P 500 employee earned $81,467, which was only 5.2% higher than the previous year. Stock rewards made up about 70% of CEO comp.

Republicans are the party these CEO's vote for. So stop saying Democrats are the party for the rich.

One thing is true. College educated people tend to vote Democratic and we make $1 million more over 30 years than Trumps deplorable base. So you're right in that respect.

Trump is conning these Rednecks, White trash Blue collar workers.
