Hey Libtards
Wal-Mart raising their minimum wage is due to Trump.
Sam's Club closing 63 stores was not.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Trump/Nugent 2020!
In the past whenever you've been painted into a corner you move on without responding.
Such as I asked you how the new tax plan will affect you since you think it is a fantastic deal for all Americans.
If you believe otherwise,, reply to my post asking for support for your OPINION that the 2018 elections will not put a Democratic majority in the House. I have given 2 independent sources stating that Democrats currently have the advantage. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

That benefits me greatly. I have a very generous and very nice ex husband.The major point to be made on taxes is that for the average family in this country, whose income is about $53,000, will gain an additional $70 per month. Your ex-husband and I will do much better. After I retired I worked at a home improvement store for a year -- yearly salary about $20,000. Additional income from the new tax plan -- a whopping $0. These are the people who need financial help, not me. As I keep saying, the rich made out like bandits with the new tax plan, the people barely scraping by got nothing.
On the second item - there was something on one of the news stations that the gap was closing. I can't remember which one - I'll see if I can find it.
And just for the record, I don't think I get backed into a corner. I have a very short attention span so I might of forgot the questions. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

Yes, there was one report that stated that the gap was closing, but that was after the first major accomplishment of the Trump administration -- tax relief. And there isn't much left that Trump can do in 9 1/2 months that will have a major impact on people's lives. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Recently it was announced by the Bureau of Census that the "median family income has reached a ten year high" of almost 58k.
That however is not true.
The truth is that wages are still way down from before 2009. So how do we "square" the new high "median" family income with the continuing low wages? Median family income is created by averaging all incomes, basically combining the total of all families' incomes and dividing by the number of families.
So what really happened is that the upper one tenth of one percent of all families in the last two years have had an amazing gain. But that's all. The tiny fraction at the top skyrocketed, and when averaged with all the other families raised the "median." It's an average, and it's skewed because of including the richest families.
Thanks to Trump Walmart and some others are increasing wages a bit, giving bonuses and the like, but that's just cosmetics. It's PR because it implies that their wages were lower due to high taxes and that's bullshit. They pay what they have to according to the market for labor, and taxes have nothing to do with it.
Last year worldwide 80 percent of all wealth created worldwide went to a fraction of one percent. If you think America is bad on this score just think what it's like in Russia, India and China. Two billion people live in China and India and except for a few thousand billionaires 90% of people there still live like dogs. Originally Posted by pussycat

Let's see: Trump wouldn't have had the Clinton emails to keep talking about. He wouldn't have had a person that people didn't like or trust as much or more than him to deflect to. He couldn't talk about the elites and not understanding white working class voters against Biden. He wouldn't have had the Clinton Foundation to deflect to. And maybe key of all, he wouldn't have won Pennsylvania which means he doesn't win the electoral college.
As for 2020:
Biden would still hold all those advantages over Trump he would have had in 2016 and he could have even more with the way Trump's presidency is going.
Cory Booker would appeal to young voters who are leaning Democratic. He would energize the African American voters even more than they are now. He would be able to unite the progressives like Bernie and the more moderate Democrats. Oh and what will Trump be able to say about him?? You are an elitist who only looks out for those people? This is the guy who as mayor actually implemented policies that reduced crime. He actually went out and shoveled the driveway for an elderly man. He actually saved a woman from a burning building, suffered second degree burns and smoke inhalation. He invited people who lost homes during Sandy to stay at his home. He saved dogs, he literally saved dogs. He has served in the the Senate and holds positions that the progressives will like. And when Trump tries to talk about his "friends" or "donors" being elitist or whatever, Booker can just say oh are you talking about Jared and Ivanka?
Jerry Brown is too progressive to win the nomination. He would be a good running mate for someone if they weren't seen as progressive enough.
All that is to say, whoever runs for the Democrats will have a lot going for them in the form of so many people hating the current president. And the fact that he keeps doing things that pushing independents and moderates further from him and his base. Also, I don't think we will see the large number of voters sitting out this time like we saw in 2016. Trump's ineptitude in running the country has woke them. Originally Posted by Austin Dude
Let's see- If Biden ran that would be going back to Obamaville. And half the country hated living in Obama land so there's that.
And good ole Cory - yeah, he wasn't looking too bad until he looked like an abusive ex husband and acted like one when she was trying to answer a question. Nope - all women won't like that at all. All the Republican party has to do is play that scene over and over - And please, Donald Trump has done more good deeds that anyone gives him credit for - don't worry I won't list them.
And Jerry Brown - yeah, but I wouldn't count him out just yet. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen
