Someday the Democrats will get a landslide and then we can catch back up 2 the rest of the developed world again.... This is pathetic.The 2018 equivalent of the 1968 minimum wage is about$12. Thanks GOP and silly dupes. I see that about 40% of the country has trouble paying bills--I'm sure it's their fault./---/ Improving job skills to get a higher wages is a concept lost on Liberals.

only the right wing is that cognitively dissonant.
Sorry we are not going back to 1968 no matter how much you wish for it.

[/QUOTE]What we need to do is strengthen the middle class. That means paying workers at Fortune 500s part of the profits. If a ceo makes more than 100 x the average worker, the company gets no tax breaks. This will make sure that instead of just the ceos getting raises the last 20 years, the workers would have gotten raises too
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjADegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw1GA-k2osWxBcZgFcYXFfATAll well-known.Obamacare is voluntary now no worries you can get totally screwed if there is an accident or serious illness and lose everything in bankruptcy. You know, 75% in the exchanges pay less than$100 a month.It works everywhere else, dupe. The greatest generation is dead and unions destroyed by the GOP, it's only the government that can do it, that's called socialism.
Nobody knows of well known bullshit that you make up. Either post proof or quit lying. Very few are getting any quality of coverage for less than $100.00 a month. I signed up for Commie Care. They told me they wanted over 20% of my net pay for a plan that had a $7,000 deductible, $7,000 out of pocket, no prescriptions, no dental, no eye care, a $50.00 doctor visit copay. In other words, $725.00 a month that I could never use unless I got hit by a bus or train.
Thanks for nothing.
$7,000 out of pocket cap? And you were not able to get any subsidy?
Well the stimulus ended work for food stamps requirement, mainly because there were so many new people there was no way they could find work for them all. Obama also made big cuts in food stamps in 2014....Gee I wonder what could have happened after 2008 LOL! Well it was a world depression again and wages have not gone up at all so working people can get food stamps. Great job GOP!Obama did nothing to add more food stamps, that's what happens when you have have an other corrupt GOP World depression... We were already paying for the poor Healthcare, just without preventive medicine. And with people dying left and right. Which I'm sure you enjoy...There is no such thing as "free" from the government you dunce. Everything free, somebody else has to pay for.
Under DumBama, he created over 20 million more new government dependents with Commie Care. This is on top of the 20 million more new government dependents he created with food stamps. In total, he created 40 million more new government dependents, and you celebrate that.
But Reagan and tax breaks are the problem.
You don't need a 60 vote majority for everything passed by the federal government. And the very idea that creating more government dependents are a good thing is the deterioration of our country. Well........it's good for Democrats since their objective is to create more voters by promoting dependency.
You people are as blind as a bat. Keep blaming Reagan for the next 20 years.
Food stamp president: Enrollment up 70 percent under Obama
Great job GOP and food stamps doubled under DumBama. You are a complete goof.
DumBama lowered qualifications to get food stamps and increased the amount one could receive. It was part of his Pork Bill which cost us close to a trillion dollars. It "was" a world depression? Then WTF didn't food stamp usage start to decline until after 6 years of his presidency? And the only reason it did decline is because Republican states like Maine instituted strict qualifications to receive food stamps.
/----/ To be specific, what leftists can't learn is how to flip everyone else to their way of thinking. But they keep trying.Forget the poor. Or, forget jobs that don’t pay a lot like working at a 7 11. Those jobs aren’t going to pay well.I’ve never understood what that phrase really means. There is never an explanation on how to do it.
Republicans of course automatically assume the extreme which is that the wealth would be radically distributed among the entire population which would eliminate the wealthy class of America and thus end capitalism as we know it. However, no prominent progressive has EVER suggested this. The issue on the left is the rising inequality between the middle class and wealthy class. We aren’t suggesting some naive, theoretical utopia where everyone lives off the same wealth regardless of their contribution to society and lives happily ever after. Republicans just assume that’s what lefties mean when we talk about wealth inequality because it makes for a convenient argument. It makes dismissing the leftwing ideology easy.
Of course, what lefties actually want to do is simply narrow the gap so that anyone working 40 hours a week doesn’t have to live in poverty. That’s it. That’s all lefties care about. In this current economy, that is impossible for 10s of millions of people. Why is that impossible? Because the top 3 richest people in the country own more wealth than the bottom 50% of workers.
Again, I’ll admit I don’t know how it should be done, but it needs to be done. Radical change is necessary. The last time someone could comfortably live off $10 per hour was in the 1960’s.

Stupid leftists never learn.
Until you have an accident or it does happen. Oh well I did not have insurance until I was 52... Really great driver LOL...It is when you could get a bill for 250,000 without it...https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjADegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw1GA-k2osWxBcZgFcYXFfATNobody knows of well known bullshit that you make up.

$7,000 out of pocket is not health insurance...
Let me repeat that 7 fucking grand out of pocket is NOT HEALTH INSURANCE..

And that just happens to old geezers your age, not young healthy bucks like me.

I have a better idea: if this country is not "developed" enough for you, move to one of those other fantastic places you so frequently speak of. All this talk of how great other places are, but you stay here and complain we are not like them.

It worked just fine? Democratic policies that forced banks to give mortgages to people with rock bottom FICO scores and minimum wage jobs? And then your boy Barney Frank vehemently defending the collapsing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac government mortgage programs? Democrats poisoned the well and you blame Republicans for the bad water.I know what you are referring to, and it worked just fine until Bushies got a hold of Regulation of their Pals in the mortgage business and banking...Fail. The collapse was at least 20 years in the making. "Nothing went wrong until Republicans blah blah blah....". I think you know what I'm referring to with Carter Clinton and Frank, you are just blowing smoke like Liberals always do when they want to point fingers at the GOP and hold the Democrats blameless.Funny how nothing went wrong until it was Republicans as regulators of their Pals in the private mortgage industry and Fanny and Freddy's share of the Market went from 70% to 30%, dupe.You really need to study up. Let me help. Research Carter, Clinton and Barney Frank's role in laying the foundation for the real estate and banking collapse of 2007-2009. Then report back what you find.Gee I wonder what could have happened after 2008 LOL! Well it was a world depression again and wages have not gone up at all so working people can get food stamps. Great job GOP!

Nope. Our founders said if any mans wealth becomes so great that it’s harmful to democracy, it should be cut in half upon his death. The beginning of the death tax.Forget the poor. Or, forget jobs that don’t pay a lot like working at a 7 11. Those jobs aren’t going to pay well.I’ve never understood what that phrase really means. There is never an explanation on how to do it.
Republicans of course automatically assume the extreme which is that the wealth would be radically distributed among the entire population which would eliminate the wealthy class of America and thus end capitalism as we know it. However, no prominent progressive has EVER suggested this. The issue on the left is the rising inequality between the middle class and wealthy class. We aren’t suggesting some naive, theoretical utopia where everyone lives off the same wealth regardless of their contribution to society and lives happily ever after. Republicans just assume that’s what lefties mean when we talk about wealth inequality because it makes for a convenient argument. It makes dismissing the leftwing ideology easy.
Of course, what lefties actually want to do is simply narrow the gap so that anyone working 40 hours a week doesn’t have to live in poverty. That’s it. That’s all lefties care about. In this current economy, that is impossible for 10s of millions of people. Why is that impossible? Because the top 3 richest people in the country own more wealth than the bottom 50% of workers.

So they give them stock options instead. Would that make you happy?
If our founders could come back today, they would be so disappointed with Democrats who feel that taxation should be used as a tool to force people into submission.
Our economy is definitely strong when we have a better distribution of wealth. Too much inequality slows he economy.I’ve never understood what that phrase really means. There is never an explanation on how to do it.

Republicans don’t realize that as soon as the USA was founded corporations immediately tried to take it over. Our founders didn’t let them. But slowly but surely they’ve been taking it over ever since. They made great gains starting with Reagan.
All you republicans who complain America is fucked up. No it isn’t. Look at your masters. They’re doing great. Only labor has not benefitted. So don’t blame liberals. You republicans are to blame voting for trickle down and deregulation
No, you give me examples why you think I’m wrong.Republicans don’t realize that as soon as the USA was founded corporations immediately tried to take it over. Our founders didn’t let them. But slowly but surely they’ve been taking it over ever since. They made great gains starting with Reagan.

/---/ No, and stop playing stupid.Isn't trump trying to redistribute wealth with all this make America great again business and bringing back good jobs? You Repubs do realize we had much less inequality when we've had stronger economies?
