Record bonuses on Wall Street in 2021, at the same time a lot of Americans are struggling.

Trump ( the only Republican I ever voted for ) had the economy rolling until the planDemic came along.

Funny cause the economy was better under Obama.

The amazing Biden would have taxed those profits into submission.
Thank you Donald Trump.

Let's Go Brandon

The Amazing Biden has a Stock Market up over 23%

I guess you get that when you're sending government checks to people.

Giving people money is such good politics that Trump did it… twice.

Trump didn't?

Obamacare is the biggest Wall Street boondoggle ever, and the National Debt DOUBLED under Obama to $20 trillion......so for some, maybe it was 'better'.

Trump also had the trade deficit with China going down rapidly --now it's gone back up to where it was .

You mean the ones during the pandemic when the economy had to shut down?

How about now? If you have 4-5 kids, you wouldn't have to even work, would you?

Sounds like deflection, skippy, besides, wasn't it a democrat majority in the House that voted to approve?

Nope. Trump signed it. Took credit for it. Put his name on it. You conservatives have zero credibility.

Spending by Democrats = bad, socialism, inflation
Spending by Trump = look what Big Daddy Trump gave me!

A lot of Americans are always struggling, what does that have to do with Wall St. and bonuses?

I like how you just accept it as de facto that a lot of Americans have to economically struggle. Disgusting.

Those mask and vaccine manufacturers aren't the only ones enjoying the fruits of everyone else's struggling these days. The average Wall Street bonuses for traders and brokers is over $180,000, more than most family households bring in all year ....Big Pharma isn't hurting either...... Pfizer made $36 billion on vaccines alone this year,

An interesting phenomenon happened in mid-to-late 2020 and during 2021. A large number of people who were bored and stuck at home resorted to day trading. The stock-buying frenzy sent prices to all-time record highs.

While Most Americans Suffered Financially During The Pandemic, The Average Bonus On Wall Street Sharply Increased 10% To $184,000

According to New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, profits on Wall Street sharply increased in 2020 “because of an increase in trading and underwriting activity, along with lower interest rates.”

"Most" Americans aren't suffering financially. Some are, sure.

There are plenty of jobs and opportunity for those in need of cash.

Dishwashers are needed at a local greasy spoon, security guards, walmart associates, etc., are also in demand.

 

[john doe 101]

Wall St is not struggling
They had record profits in .2021

It's called stock buybacks. Let the employees struggle to eat while you make rich people richer. It's fucked up. But people like Meister thinks thats just how it should be in America.

A lot of Americans are always struggling, what does that have to do with Wall St. and bonuses?

Most things we consume are all traded on Wall St. We struggle because of the price of fossil fuels. Everything having to do with energy is traded. Even green energy is traded. We struggle while wall st profits. While wall st gets bonuses.

Certainly the democrats policies are manipulating the economy, while proving profitable for wall st.

It is a bit complicated? The rich certainly can afford inflation while inflation hurts the poor.

I guess people think if wall st did not profit things would be cheaper. That is doubtful given the democrats have too much influence.

I guess people struggling has nothing to do with wall st and everything to do with the current Democrat policies

With 330+ million people, yeah, it's a fact. Nothing is going to change that. Nothing.
Get a grip, Joe, I just don't get all emotional over it like you pretend to.

You cant live off those wages you dumb piece of shit. Rent around where I live has literally doubled in a few short years.

That's why I specifically said 'a lot' in the title.

And of course people are struggling ....even the NY Times admits it.

Actually it doesnt have to be like that because it didnt used to be like that. You think putting more money in the hands of the wealthy via passive means is more important than corps distributing at least part of the profits to it's employees in the form of higher wages. I disagree with that.
