Good propaganda, but EVERYONE is now paying 20-30% in ALL taxes and fees, with basically ALL new wealth going to the 1%...Reagan was the King of Supply Side EconomicsMiddle class wages are stagnant because that is what Reagan wanted
Low tax rates on the wealthy and low wages
It's what Reagan wanted, huh?
Here we go again with the blame transference from the left: Don't blame our precious Obama, he can't do anything wrong. Blame the President that left the White House 27 years ago. Yeah, that's the ticket.
"The best part about being a Democrat is never having to say you were wrong."
Ray from Cleveland
Reduce taxes and regulation on the wealthy and it will trickle down in wages and jobs for working Americans
Who would have figured the wealthy would just keep the extra money?
What are you talking about? Reagan had tax increases just as he had tax reductions. But the President isn't in charge of taxes anyway--the Congress is which happened to be Democrat at the time.
We had some great economic years under Reagan just like we did under Clinton and even GW. If you are going to try and blame a guy that's been dead for 12 years for what's going on today, at least give him credit as well.
The Reagan revolution was built on government spending in Defense. Tripling the deficit covers up a lot economically. Stupid Carter ran on a balanced budget and got killed for the economy
Cutting taxes on the wealthy has been a disaster....time we return to a reasonable tax structure
The top 10% of wage earners in this country pay about 70% of all collected federal income taxes. If 70% is not enough, then tell me what percentage is.
Very interesting, and sounds fair to me. The only problem is that the nonrich are going to hell under Reaganist policy, and can't afford to keep up the demand we need.Typical incredibly shortsighted RWdupe idiocy. These kind of policies have worked in the past. Austerity and screwing the workers hasn't.
Nobody is screwing the workers. The only person that can screw a worker is himself.
If you wish to invest in the stock market, does government give you the money for that? What about if you invest in real estate, or a race horse, or the commodities market?
Of course not. It's not taxpayers job to invest in anything. That's an individual responsibility and action. So if you want to make an investment in yourself (or anything else for that matter) then you do it on your own time with your own dime.
Workers are getting screwed royally
$30 trillion in wealth created since 2009 and almost none trickled down to the workers.
Time for strong unions again to hold back all labor until wages and benefits return
What unions? The only remaining unions now are government unions and they are putting the taxpayers in a serious hole. Unions are a thing of the past. They are in their rightful place--history books.
Yeah, 30 trillion since 2009, and who was President during all that time? Oh, that's right, blame Reagan.
Exactly...and Government Unions are not allowed to strike
The drop in wages and benefits corresponds to the decrease in power for the unions
Imagine the workers getting a bigger piece of the pie again, it would be great for the country
The money is there......Workers need to start demanding it
What you don't understand is that your idea only works in your little world.
In reality, all costs to business get passed down to us--the little people.
For instance, everybody wants cleaner air. Oh how nice cleaner air is. So in the trucking industry, we got hit with all kinds of environmental costs. A new tractor today costs over 10K than they did seven years ago. Why? Because of all the pollution BS they have to manufacture those trucks with.
Then we have this stuff called Diesel Emission Fluid, or DEF for short. It's a separate container that squirts that goofy fluid into the exhaust pipe to make it cleaner. During the Bush regime, the EPA forced refineries to make diesel fuel cleaner by greatly lowering the sulfur content. Since that time, diesel fuel increased to around a dollar a gallon more than gasoline, and it's still that way today. Prior to that, diesel was cheaper than gasoline.
So my employer has to pay more for trucks, more for diesel fuel, has to buy DEF for the trucks, and 80% of the problems with the trucks we have have to do with some pollution gadget going haywire. So who do you think pays for all this, my employer?
Of course not. My employer has to increase our fees to our customers. Our customers who manufacture the products we buy at the store has to increase their prices to cover additional transportation costs. That's how it works in the real world.

Our price of fuel today has nothing to do with the Dems. In fact, without them, fuel would be even lower today.
Our fuel break is due to fracking which most libs are against. Thanks to fracking ON PRIVATE LAND we've experienced an abundance of fuel. In fact, our lower fuel costs are what's driving the economy now and has for well over a year. What's more is that my employer has been able to lift our fuel surcharge which makes our service a little bit cheaper for our customers. On top of that, since we had a total Republican leadership, we no longer have two speed limits: one lower speed for trucks and another higher speed for cars. We all drive the same speed so we can get our deliveries done faster.
Quit trying to give credit to Democrats for Republican accomplishments. You don't know how desperate it makes you look.
Jeebus, dupe. Can you READ.EVERYONE is paying about the same in ALL taxes and fees, and that doesn't work and isn't fair.

Need proof, just ask. I have the statistics right here: The top 10% pay 70% of all collected federal income taxes. That cannot be disputed.

No! Unions are tax exempt corporations..

Silly far left drone!
Lol re-educate? Are you so naive to think republicans don't already know this is happening? Stop pretending republicans actually care about the middle class.I've been saying this for years. Unfortunately most of the Republican candidates have been talking about expanding this program. Hopefully they can be re-educated before one of them gets elected:
This Is a Real Reason Why Middle-Class Incomes Remain Stagnant
H-1B visas are used by large corporations to bring into the United States cheap foreign workers who typically have college degrees. Corporations like this because they can control these foreign workers, and keep wages low for Americans by hiring foreigners. H-1B visas are a big reason why real wages in our country have not increased for the average worker.
Each year, companies are allowed to import 65,000 new hires from foreign countries, plus another 20,000 who have received a degree from an American university. The result over the past decade has been to staff corporations with hundreds of thousands of foreigners in good jobs that should have gone to Americans. Many middle-aged Americans with families to support, particularly in hi-tech fields such as computers, are unable to find a good job today because of this terrible program. Now things are getting even worse. Some companies are misusing this program in order to lay off American workers and send their jobs overseas, after the foreigners are trained here in how to do the work. This results in an offshoring of thousands of jobs, which are then permanently lost to our country.
Despite this, misguided candidates for president support expanding H-1Bs, which would take even more jobs away from Americans. Marco Rubio, for example, introduced a bill earlier this year in the U.S. Senate that would triple the number of new H-1B visas allowed annually. Any economist will confirm that as unemployment decreases in our country, real wages should be increasing. But this is not happening and the H-1B visa program to bring cheap foreign labor into our country is the reason why. It is time to end H-1B visas, not expand them.
Businesses are not your personal piggy bank to be used for an unsustainable spending party.
If that were true there would be no such thing as socialism, pssss a little secret... No all people are good neither are they all bad.Keeps them alive in the typical corrupt GOP recession/depression/screwed up economy and keeps the economy going...NOBODY wants to be on welfare, hater dupe.

Giving people money for nothing accomplishes nothing
the problem with the people who are democrats. they believe we are here to make their lives for them. they don't care what it does to a business or us
back in the day you couldn't make enough to support yourselves or the kids you plop out. the fathers usually got a second job. now today the fathers are demanding a business raise all their prices on the good they are selling so they pay their sorry asses to work for them.
Something wrong with this Society. no honor or pride
Agreed. Years ago many of us had two or more jobs. Hell, I didn't have any kids and I had three jobs at one time just to support myself. If my full-time job didn't have me working on Saturday, I would make sure I had weekend work somewhere.
It was a different mindset back then though. If you needed more money, you just had to work more hours, that's it, not complain to your politicians that your employer was greedy.
I don't know any younger person today that has two jobs. If your job doesn't pay enough, don't learn a skill, don't keep trying to get into a company that pays well, just contact government and they will fill in the gaps.
These social programs took all the motivation out of people. Years ago the mood of the country was for everybody to get ahead. Today, the mindset is do enough just to get by.
EVERYONE is paying about the same in ALL taxes and fees, and that doesn't work and isn't fair. Your stat is disingenuous propaganda.
