The profits increased, and the real incomes decreased according to the chart, what's there to get, they're gouging us left, and right.
Even with a massive increase in American productivity, that wealth created was never seen by the American workers, and probably never meant for the American workers.
Actually, those corporate profits probably only climbed so high because of foreign markets, because we're sure not seeing it come back into our economy with this inflation.
It's not Patriotism that Americans settle for less pay, it's anything but Patriotism.
It's hilarious that so many Republican barbarians think Americans should settle for less.
Republicans, and also Democrats both have no place in a civilized society, they are what you create to destroy a civilization.
I'm sorry but you simply do not know what you are talking about. But hey, you are not the only lefty who doesn't understand even basic economics. Probably that's the biggest reason most leftys are leftys. Do have a pleasant evening.
Americans have NOT ONE CLUE about politics.
I'm no Leftist.
The first Leftists were Capitalists.
I'm a Fascist a true Right-Winger
Capitalism IS LIberalism in a nutshell. Selling drugs, selling abortion, selling porn, hiring illegal immigrants, outsourcing jobs, etc. etc. ALL FOR PROFITS.
Either you're a Conservative, and Nationalist, or a Capitalist, YOU CANNOT BE BOTH. (But, most Americans don't grasp it, like they don't grasp much of anything)
As for the economy, NO, just NO, you Hicks know NOTHING.
FDR achieved the #1 growth with government intervention out of the USA in the 20th Century.
Franco achieved the #1 growth with government intervention out fo Europe in the 20th Century.
It's NOT the hybrid system which is failing, it's the Capitalist system, and the Communist system BOTH which are FAILURES.
Fascism is NOT right wing as the term is understood in America. It is the antithesis of unalienable rights and individual liberty. It is among the kinds of brutal governments the U.S. Constitution was designed to free the people from.
Bull twice.
1.) The American Founding Fathers only allowed about 6% of the USA to vote in the first election, being White land owning males.
That's NOT Individual rights, and Liberty, not even close.
2.) Individualism is LIBERAL, not only does Liberal come from the same root as Liberty meaning freedom, it is in fact Liberalism to believe in Individualism, if you believe Gays, or Blacks, or Jews should be treated as "Individuals" you're a Liberal.
Individualism dictates individual rights for EVERYBODY "Special" and "Different". That's Liberalism in a nutshell.
When you have a better grasp of American history and what our Founders were all about get back to me. Until then, again do have a pleasant evening.

Several months ago I did some research on it, and it turns out that private colleges are making over 20% profit.
How are they able to do that?
Stalin's USSR.The U.S.A is JUST LIKE Orwell's 1984 when it comes to "Politics"
In Orwell's 1984, they say 2 + 2 = 5.
They drilled it into their heads enough, and that became the truth.
That is the reality of America on politics.
You are told that Capitalism built America, or we were always a Capitalist nation, that's not true.
The U.S.A was hardly Capitalist between 1886 - 1945, and NOT Capitalist before 1886, and VERY Capitalist just after WW2.
You are told that Democrats are Liberal Leftists, and Republicans are Right-Wingers.
Not true either.
The terms Left-Right come from the French Revolution.
The Leftists were Capitalists for more Liberalism, and rights, and the Right-Wingers were the Monarchist Authoritarian Right for the traditional Authoritarian controls over society.
Furthermore, Right-Wingers supporting Capitalism, and Freedom, while complaining about "Social Liberalism" makes no sense.
Truth is, the real Right-Wing IS AUTHORITARIAN, they micro-manage social Conservative values.
Then there's a ton of Republicans who think high Taxes = Socialism to pay for programs.
North Korea is Socialism in it's pure form, and they actually have low taxes, in fact nearly no taxes.
Whether or not you have an intent of paying it back, even with a degree you probably won't be able to afford to pay it back.
Then you are saying that the education provided is a scam. a rip off that cannot deliver on the promise of a viable career?
In most cases this is true, sadly. Too many schools focus on social movements and provide little in the way of viable skills. An "ethnic studies" degree qualifies one to start riots or to fleece others by teaching the same worthless bullshit.
In most endeavors, if a person cheats me I can sue them for damages. Why should one not be allowed to sue Harvard or Stanford for failing to provide an education that delivers on the promise of a better life? Is not Yale cheating the vast majority of students by indoctrinating them in radical leftism rather than providing them the knowledge needed to succeed?
They own our Banking industry, Congress, Media, Military ,w/ Foriegn and Domestic policies following suit
They also have zero allegiance to anything past their own coffers
and that's just a start Dark one

Millennials earn 20% less than Babyboomers did at the same age, Millennials have a net-worth 50% less than Babyboomers did at the same age.
(Of course adjusting for inflation AKA Real Wages)
This is startling, and shows the system that we have isn't working.
In a free country we don't allow government to run our businesses. If you think that's a great idea, maybe Cuba is more suited for your liking.
Over here, businesses compete by producing and selling at the cheapest cost. It's been that way for decades now. CEO's are not in charge of that, the American consumer is. And until we can adjust our way of thinking when it comes to purchases, it will stay that way.
You can't blame a CEO because a CEO is answering the demands of his or her customers. HTF can you make that a crime or illegal?
Actually, the USA long had strong business regulation through state regulations.
The Rise of Corporations — Global Issues
RACHEL #488: FIXING CORPORATIONS--PART 1: LEGACY OF THE FOUNDING PARENTS
To say that the USA customer is responsible for outsourcing beyond the CEO, is flat out ridiculous.
The CEO's started the outsourcing, and eventually it has got to the point where everybody has to outsource to compete, we don't even have much of a choice anymore.
Because of falling real wages, we are getting also to the point where we also are forced to buy cheaper, and those real wages are falling because of outsourced jobs in large part.
What's best for the people is what's best for the people.
That's not necessarily freedom, if our society is falling apart because of free will, then freedom therefor has very little, in fact perhaps a negative value.
CEO's didn't start outsourcing just for the hell of it. Consumers demanded cheaper products, and now it's to the point of cheapest products.
We have three goals when it comes to production in the US:
* low cost products.
* high paying jobs.
* reasonable to good returns on investment.
The problem is you can't have all three. So we as a country chose good investments and lower priced products.
Lower priced products sell the most. Good investment returns attract more investors. A CEO is in charge of trying to provide both. If a CEO doesn't provide both or either, then that CEO is going to be looking for another job, likely with less pay. That's how it works.
Total bull-shit.
The products never truly became cheaper, if they had real incomes would've not fallen behind so much, because Americans would have not had an inflation epidemic since 1970.
The problem is CEO's are greedy parasites at this point, they're not the same CEO's prior to the 1960's who took care of workers, and took pride in products.
Now it's all about money, and cutting corners to maximize profits at all costs, to outsource as much as possible to muster more profits, at all costs, even if tanks the economy.
Very short-sighted, and greedy, and I quite frankly don't respect such vermin.
You just agreed with me and not even realize it. Yes, the job of a CEO is to maximize profits. That's what they get paid to do.
Companies rely on investors to operate their business. The more investors, the better the company. How do they make profit? By selling the most of the item they manufacture than their competitors. That requires them to produce products at the cheapest price in order to sell them at the cheapest price.
CEO's no longer hold any kind of value for America, they cause only harm for this country.
I'd tell you to get out if you don't agree with America FIRST.
But, Poland doesn't want you, either.
Poland's actually is not so stupid as America's hicks.

I have no desire to go to Poland. A CEO is not there to have value to America, a CEO is there to have value for the company they work for. A company isn't created to provide good jobs and benefits, a company is created to produce products or services for a profit.
I think you have a distorted view of corporations and businesses. They don't have any social obligation to anybody. That's like saying your lawnmower should be able to cut down trees.

I don't know if you've ever been to America. But ask an American over 50 what the first car they had was, and how much it took to get it.
Hint: It was not a brand new Honda with air and a 10 speaker sound system.

If someone is a problem you fix them, if they sell drugs to your kids you put them in jail, if they try to rape your kids you put them in jail, if they sell out your kids future by sending jobs to a semi hostile China, well they should also be put in jail too.
I see no value of a CEO, if they DO NOT produce for the country they are apart of.
If they can't do that, they should be put behind bars, plain & simple.

This is according to the data, Real Wages which adjust for cost of living tell the whole story, since 1970 incomes haven't kept up with prices.
Therefor doing more of the same, will fix, what????????????????
If it's broken you don't keep breaking it down, you therefor fix it.
Of course Americans keep coming up with more of the same as a solution.
If you're part of the problem, you are the problem.
It can't be seen in any simpler terms than that.
I'm a Fascist, not a Communist, or a Capitalist.
Communism, and Capitalism BOTH belong in the trash heap for being two sides of the same coin, causing the EXACT same kind of society, one with a wealthy elite ruling over the masses, one where competition is hindered, one by Government being business, the other from Monopolies, both stamp out competition, leading to junky products, lack of innovation, stagnant wages, and high prices as a result of the lack of competition.
No you are economically illiterate like most of the Southern, and Rural Brutish British savages in this country.
If Competition creates innovation, wage increases, and better products, then Communism, and Capitalist Monopolies BOTH get rid of competition in the market place, leading to inferiority of the system.
That's why Capitalism needs to be regulated, plain, and simple.
CEO's no longer hold any kind of value for America, they cause only harm for this country.
I'd tell you to get out if you don't agree with America FIRST.
But, Poland doesn't want you, either.
Poland's actually is not so stupid as America's hicks.
Venezuela started off a lot poorer.
Why don't you compare Venezuela to the rest of Latin America?????????
Venezuela is actually rich by Latino standards, as is Cuba.
So, how do you figure that even works as a "Great dig on Communism"????????
Not that I'm a Communist, I'm a Fascist, I also hate Commies.
Nope, you are economically illiterate, like most Americans.
Capitalism is stagnant in wages for decade after decade, JUST LIKE the COMMUNISTS.
You tell me why that is?
Because Capitalism is ALSO a GREAT FAILURE.
Your last statement proves once AGAIN you are economically illiterate, Socialism is regulation of the economy NOT really Social Programs, a typical Conservative IDIOCY As ALWAYS.
Of course I want the economy regulated, against outsourcing, against illegals, against monopolies which drive down competition allowing for lay offs, and jacked up prices.

Stalin was actually to the Right of modern Republicans.
Stalin criminalized Gays, outlawed Abortion, and kicked minorities out of Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish living space.
Everything the Republicans can't do, and many wish they could do, but NEVER will achieve with Capitalists, and Jews gouging the system, and profiting off of "Gays" profiting off of "Abortion" and profiting off of "Minorities"
It's all about profits, either you're a Nationalist Conservative first, or a Capitalist first, you can't be both.
This is according to the data, Real Wages which adjust for cost of living tell the whole story, since 1970 incomes haven't kept up with prices.

Its pretty much the same over here. I will also add in zero hours contracts. A large section of society does not earn enough to save for a pension and this will have a huge impact in 20 years or so.These statistics are claimed to be true:
1. 50% of American wage earners earn less than $30k.
2. 63% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency.
3. 80% of American workers live pay check to pay check.
4. Since 1973 American productivity has increased by 77%, yet hourly pay has grown by 12%. If the minimum wage was tracked to productivity, it would be over $20 an hour today.
5. 41% of American workers earn less than $12 per hour, with most without employer provided HC.
6. Since 2008 the federal government and the Fed created $26 trillion out of nothing. Was any of this enormous sum spent on infrastructure, public education, universal HC, bail out 5.1 million people who lost their homes?
Not a pretty picture for the poor and middle class. Hopefully things are improving or we are headed for big trouble.
Inequality is the big problem. Capital exploits the differences to drive down wages. Strike for better pay or conditions and we will move your job to India where they will work for half your pay. How to break the cycle is a big conundrum.
It's not a big conundrum.
All that needs to happen is to take away all the tax benefits of moving jobs out of America and impose huge penalties to move our jobs to low wage nations.
Impose huge penalties in the form of huge taxes on all companies that move our jobs to other nations. Make it very expensive to move our jobs out of our nation. The republicans enacted tax laws that reward companies for moving out of our nation in the reagan years when reagan was sending our jobs to Japan. When the House was in democratic hands in 2007 they passed a bill that removed tax benefits for moving our jobs to other nations. The republicans filibustered it when it got to the senate. republicans won't do one thing to penalize any company that moves our jobs to other nations.
When greedy CEOs and business owners see that it's more expensive to move our jobs out of the nation they will stop doing it.
Tariffs won't stop it. Giving corporations and business huge tax cuts won't stop it.
Imposing huge penalties will.
However, I thought trump and republicans have been declaring us at full employment with 3.7% unemployment. Why would anyone worry about jobs being sent off shore if we have such low unemployment?
By the way, the unemployment rate was 4.7% when Obama left office. trump has lowered the unemployment rate by 1% in nearly 2 years, yet republicans and conservatives believe he's responsible for such a low unemployment rate.
When any republican lowers the unemployment rate from 10% down to 4.7% I'll give them credit for it. Yet I've not seem any republican president do that in the last over 20 years.
I like my criminalizing of outsourcing better as it should be a even better deterrent than taxes.
Furthermore if you tax them like that they might start up in China their companies with no one to stop them.
However in jail they can't do anything about it & that is the beauty.
Not exactly. You can take the share necessary to pay the rent and maintain the equipment if you like. You shouldn't be making a profit off of the labor of others. That is akin to slave owning.They simply takes less profit.It is the minority group that is oppressing the masses. It is the minority group that is leaching off the labor of others. That is what you promote.In a nutshell, the plan is to abolish the ability of some to acquire vast amounts of wealth off of the labor of others.
But you don't mind if the masses leach sustenance off of the intellect and ambition of others. Face it, you promote the oppression of the most able at the hands of the least willing.
Pay the worker the full value of what he creates.
If you pay the worker full value of what he creates, how does a company stay open?
DERP
So if I rent a building and buy machines to make chairs, then hire a man to run a lathe, you imagine that I should give him the entire selling price of the chair?
Progressive Communism is founded in stupidity.
Then stop whining how expensive it is.You pay 600 a month for cable and a cell phone?
Get HULU and a Trac phone
I have six lines on my phone and no, I like my cable but thanks. I know there are alternatives. I also have Amazon Prime and Netflix.
Whining? I am stating facts. And these are just some of the expenses. You picked out two...seriously?
And no one is forcing you to spend so much on things like cell phones and cable.
And yes everything is more expensive than it was 40 years ago tell me at what point in time was that never true?
Seems to me the middle class is getting squeezed because most of them live well in excess of their means. If your parents were middle class I'll bet you that they didn't spend extravagantly on things like phones and TV but you do and you're saying it's because you're getting squeezed?
Cell phones were not readily available and cable was cheaper. Mostly housing was much cheaper that was the delta. Additionally school sports were free and I pay $500 per kid per sport excluding unis and special events. Taxes and gas are much higher. Tuition was 75% cheaper at colleges. You may attack me all you like but life is waaaay more expensive now. Few companies still offer pensions. My ex employer paid for my MBA. That is rarely available now. Oh and you can go f@ck your sanctimonious self.
