Liberals ignore middleclass anxiety at their peril

[Wyatt earp]

Being as the GOP in the last few months, have voted for against all legislation that would help the middle class but has passed legislation that only helps the top 0.02%, this OP has to be a fucking joke.

Need a link for that one and Da dear leader not vetoing it.

 

[amrchaos]

Who needs a middle class, vote Democrat and you too can be unemployed and on food stamps! Sweet!!

or better yet lets all vote Democrat until the highest corporate taxes in the world drive every single middle class job to China!!

We would become ardent protectionists long before that happens.

"Liberals ignore Middle American anxiety at their peril"

This fails as a straw man fallacy.

Short on form AND SUBSTANCE

The Middle Class was sold on the notion that they could keep their doctor, their healtchcare plan, and the average cost of ObamaCare would save them $2,500 per year, why do you think the Middle Class is going to believe your claim that the GOP is screwing them??

 

[Arianrhod]

Yup as the liberal loonies on here like to point out, any job that don't pay a livable wage (what ever that is) should close and the employees should go on welfare.

Link?

I've had multiple conversations with far left nut jobs on this site advocating exactly that

Here is one.

More Corporate Screwing of Employees | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

There have been more, but I will not search through thousands of comments to find them for you.

Given that 9 out of 10 small businesses fail for a variety of reasons and their owners don't end up on welfare, I'd say you've done a bit of embroidery.

Besides, the initial premise is still flawed.

dear you definitely lack the IQ to be here. Liberals have destroyed the middle class by off shoring 40 million of jobs with their unions, taxes and deficits. This is to say nothing of the liberal war on the family and schools that renders millions unfit for a middle class life!

Can I use your glasses.

Liberals ignore Middle American anxiety at their peril

We can still lose this thing.

A lot of my fellow progressives are ditsy with over-confidence after watching the buffoons and know-nothings frothing and fumbling at theGOP presidential "debates

It's time to sober up.

Because while The Donald has been trumpeting his ego and Dr. Ben Carsonhas been re-imagining his childhood, progressives have been busy infuriating the Great American Middle with a series of gaffes — both cultural and economic — that are making the other side look reasonable

Some highlights and lowlights

°
The Obama administration's Department of Education has censured Palatine Township High School District 211 for not providing full access to a girls' locker room for a physically male student who is intent on being a transgendered female.

°
The appalling slaughter of young black children and teenagers by other young black children and teenagers — now a full-blown epidemic here in Chicago — is being blamed by several high-profile African-American thought leaders on … the legacy of white racism. Black intellectuals like journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates are talking not about a need for black America to re-examine its values … but the need for government reparations. Reparations.

°
On the economic front, the Obama administration just delivered a one-two punch to America's beleaguered working stiffs. The White House agreed to yet another lopsided "free trade" pact with a handful of low-wage countries … then killed off theKeystone XL pipeline that would have created thousands of good-paying jobs

Snip

Only Sanders seems to get the terrible implication of these two newly released statistics: The average working white guy is earning no more today than he did in 1973; and there's been an unprecedented decline in life expectancy among middle-aged whites as the un- and under-employed succumb to suicide or cirrhosis.

Ths is what infuriates the Great American Middle and has them casting about for saviors like Donald Trump. It's not a lack of transgender bathrooms or the perceived slights endured by women and minorities. Liberals had better wake up, or we'll be waking up to a terrible surprise next Nov. 9.

The dems aren't ignoring Middle Class Anxiety. They have the prefect answer. IMport Third World voters.


Thus they can still win elections without winning the Middle Class.

Yes, it's the unions' fault for fighting for decent wages and safe working conditions. Right...just like it's a woman's fault if her husband needs to beat on her.

Mmm, nothing about that in the post I responded to.

My point about the dems plan for dealing with their losing the Middle Class stands.

Do you have something that addresses it, or do you want to go respond to some other point someone else made?

Republicans ruined the economy. Finally, with the GOP fighting every step of the way, in spite of their hate for this country, in spite of their meanness, it's bouncing back.
