Deregulation allowing small businesses to operate with less costs, less regulation to help the working class to stay working.
The people who voted for Trump looked out for their interests, wanting to make sure they had jobs and less regulation so the could do their jobs. The working class voiced out that they were not being heard. They don't care about gay marriage, gender equality, it doesn't matter, they are concerned about jobs, working and making ends meet.
The deregulation that Trump has pushed is in consumer protection and environmental. How can that deregulation benefit the 'people' when the store legally screws you? Go to a different store who is also going to screw you? How about a chemical plant who can legally dump methyl-ethyl nasty shit up stream from where you drink or fish? How is that a benefit for the 'people?'
The only benefit that Trump is giving are to business. How many well paying jobs has Trump created? None?
We had a record number of the usual June jobs jump, but wages remained stagnant. How is this good for the 'people?'
Wages remained stagnant during most of DumBama's two terms and we heard nothing from you leftists. Trump has been President for six months and he had to battle multiple activist judges rulings, plus this phony Russia thing.
Wages will remain stagnant until employers are forced to raise it. It's not going to happen until then.
Obama tried to raise minimum wage and was squashed by Republicans.

Beyond the incessant "we won with Trump" mantra often voiced by right wingers, there should be the sanity of reality which occurs a bit later, sobering up the silly chanting.
Truth be told, red states that voted overwhelmingly for Trump just haven’t been pulling their weight.
Red states are nearly twice as dependent on the federal government as blue states. Of the twelve states that received the least federal aid in return for each tax dollar they contribute to the U.S. Treasury,TEN of them voted for Hillary Clinton—and the other two were Michigan and Wisconsin, barely won by Trump in a temporary loss of sanity.
By the same count, 20 of the 26 states most dependent on federal aid went to Trump.
For example, Mississippi [in]famous for being 49th or 50th in just about everything that matters. When it comes to sucking at the federal teat, the Magnolia State is the undisputed champ. More than 40 percent of Mississippi’s state revenue comes from federal funding; one-third of its GDP comes from federal spending; for every dollar it pays out in federal taxes, Good ol' Mississippi takes in $4.70 in federal aid, and one in five residents of that state is on food stamps.
So, what do these red states do when it comes to electing a president?.....They succumb to demagoguery and lies....and vote in the very worst person whose economic (and health) plans are aimed at royally screwing them......Wolf-like Populism in orange sheep clothing.
Bottom line: The generosity of blue states' contribution to the federal coffers, is slapped down by the stupidity of those who were the beneficiary of that generosity.

Increasing minimum wage is a farce. It won't do anything except kill jobs and perhaps cause inflation. Since the problem is supply and demand (too much supply) the real solution is to close down our borders to illegal and legal immigrants alike. Reducing the availability of workers will force employers to increase wages to attract workers. A huge reduction in social programs will help as well. You can't buy much living on the dole. Forcing people to go back to work where they can make money will stimulate the economy through spending. That creates even more jobs (demand) and will also increase wages.

What's you point?
Ask yourself what issues they are voting for. What do the voters think are their interests? Or you could get out of the way and let the Republicans actually cut those subsidies. But instead you hope to win elections by along the voters stupid.
Wages are the number one problem for the middle class. Republicans and corporate America aren't interested in fixing that problem.
It's not up to government to fix that problem, it's up to the individual.
By individual you mean the employee or the employer?
Employee of course. If whatever you do is not paying enough money, you need to do something else that is.
Nobody pays a plumber $150.00 to fix their $75.00 toilet. Nobody pays a lawn care company $200.00 per cut of their lawn unless it's multiple acres.
In the US, it's not just business that looks to pay the least, it's American consumers as well. You do it, I do it, and most everybody does it.
An employees worth is what an employer can pay another person to do the same quality and same work, that's it.
If you sweep floors for a living, anybody can sweep floors, so the job pays very little. Same with making french fries, stocking shelves, washing windows, wiping cars off at a car wash.
If you learn a trade, you make more money because there are less people who can perform the jobs of those trades.
If you learn to be a plumber, an electrician, a carpenter, a bricklayer, that requires more education and experience, and the pay will reflect your efforts.
If you attend college in a field of demand, you can make nearly or six figures because even less Americans can do that job.

Stop giving politicians power over our lives
What's the matter libs, the wrong people got addicted to your government handouts?
Too fucking bad!!

I love how you people constantly bitch about "red state welfare" while continuing to elect politicians who redistribute your money to them.
Old Faithful...................and the Red State Rant.....................
The Rant always ignores the Military Bases in the states and uses this money as part of it's equation.
The Rant always ignores the construction of military equipment or places like NASA.......
They add all that in and goooooooooooooo see........see all the money they are getting even though the data is skewed.
