Middle class and lower class wages grew at the fastest rate since 1960's. His stance on China alone helped move 1000's of high paying jobs back to America and kept 10,000's of jobs from moving. Do you remember when they were screaming about him threatening to tariff cars built out of the country if they moved from America?

The Taco Bell in my town had to close for a few days because they couldn't hire anyone. Another restaurant has 2 employees that do what they want and if you go in and they dont want to wait on you they tell you to leave they don't have time.... Great freaking economy comrade.

Okay. Hey, did you know that if you confiscated ALL the wealth of the 400 richest people in America it wouldn't pay for the infrastructure bill. And if you confiscated ALL the wealth of all 600 and change billionaires it would barely cover it.

53% of Americans don't pay taxes. The top earners in this country tho pay over 70% of all taxes. Whats your proposition? My question isn't if certain individuals wealthy individuals should pay more or how they make a lot of money and other people don't, that's not the relevance of the specifity of what im asking...im more curious should more people all together pay taxes or define exactly what Fair share is if half the country isn't paying anything at all..90% of all the taxes? Bc then it sounds like you aren't really advocating "fair share" you're advocating confiscation. Again...in a govt that hasn't proven its responsible, efficient, and advocates with a dump money on a problem.

For instance the "infrastructure" bill will pay child care, but it also will pay pre-k. Why the double payment? If you are putting them in a pre k you don't need the child care bc the school is doing the care and vice versa. Not to mention it doesn't calculate the govt spending that will need to occur to build classrooms for these ppl that will arise. Again band aids as solution thru a money dump. We are all getting poorer right now through inflation and all this other lunacy.

Whats your thoughts on the capital gains tax? With this plan every country in the world will have a lower cg tax than the US. Do you think there's no risk to investing in a new business or research? Bc this seems to advocate holding your money instead of sector growth.

Does this apply to the 200k/month walking across the southern border, getting put on planes, and flown to the red state of their choice with their goodie bags and Kamala coloring books? Of course not.

Took kids to Six Flags past weekend. Half the rides weren’t running. I’d guess 10 percent of the concessions and gift shops were open. As I waited in line what felt like an hour for cotton candy in one, I witnessed the store get looted 4 times lol as one oblivious kid worked the lone cash register.

Question for everyone here:

The goal of Trump's border wall and his trade wars with China was better paying jobs for American workers right? In theory this would stop immigrants from taking jobs that would go to American citizens and it would limit trade with China and increase the number of goods services made in America thus increasing demand for American workers.

Right now there is more demand for American workers than there has ever been in my lifetime (41 years old). Low skilled workers in Louisville have gone from being able to get $10-$12/hour to getting $15-$20/hour over a 2 year period. Also with significantly increased overtime opportunities.

Basically everyone in America has access to a decent job now, but instead of this being a good thing everyone thinks it is the worst thing that has ever happened. Maybe inflation looks bad, but to someone who got a 50%-100% raise 7% inflation is no big deal. That only impacts folks who were already doing plenty good enough and honestly it's a nuisance not a deal breaker. Also little secret higher paying jobs for all American low skilled workers was always going to inflate the cost of everyday goods and services because people could afford more of them.

Remember when people used to talk about the good old days of American workers having good paying jobs? Yes that was the 60's, 70's, and 80's. A time when inflation was pretty high historically. Remember when we talked about Americans not having access to good paying jobs? 90's, 00's, and 10's, those were times of historically low inflation. I flatiron and good paying jobs for low skilled workers go together.

This was always going to be what it looked like economically when employers had to go fight for workers instead of the other way around. Enjoy it and quit griping about it.

This is so false and stupid. The Trump name was essentially irrelevant before he took office. Yes he hosted a crappy reality show but being president made the trump name so much more valuable. If you think he would ever do anything that doesn’t either make him more money or increase the value of his name then you’re just ignorant. He’s only about himself, always has been. That’s why he’s so desperately trying to remain relevant now and cash in again. You don’t really think he did all this because he has such strong values and wasn’t in it for the money do you? Actually you probably do. You really think that all of a sudden he viewed an opportunity as something other than a money grab for the first time in his life don’t you?

lol. You want to go down the rabbit hole? You sure? If so Look into LIFELOG.

Lifelog was a DARPA program that was designed to record every single aspect of a person's daily life and record it digitally. It would keep phone numbers, emails, cds, likes, dislikes, a timeline, had an AI assistant,......everthing.

I will let you do the research, but here are a couple of interesting dates to consider.

Lifelog was suddenly canceled citing privacy concerns and .gov overreach on Feb 4, 2004.

Facebook was brought online to public on Feb 4, 2004.

Dion wants everyone to be equally poor. He is fine with confiscating billionaires wealth, and having the highest CG in the world. He’s fine with people choosing not to work and being paid as much as those who choose to work. He’s full on commie Antifa.

https://www.peachtreehoops.com/2021...dwin-claims-covid-19-vaccine-ended-his-season

Brandon Goodwin, an NBA player, suffered blood clots shortly after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. Goodwin is a former point guard for the Atlanta Hawks whose season ended early after developing the clots. Goodwin has not signed with another NBA team since being released from the Hawks after his diagnosis.

“I got sick, and I never quite recovered from it,” Goodwin said on a Twitch stream. “I would always have back pain. I was just super tired in the games. I was so tired. I felt like I couldn’t run up and down the court. My back was hurting. My back really started hurting bad. Then, I’m like, ‘OK. I need to go to the doctor. That’s when I found out I had blood clots. That all within the span of a month.” – Brandon Goodwin

Goodwin is confident the clots were a result of the Covid-19 vaccine. Up until receiving the vaccine, he was in good health.

“I was fine until then. I was fine up until I took the vaccine, I was fine. People trying to tell you, ‘No. It’s not the vaccine.’ How do you know? You don’t know. Yes, the vaccine ended my season. One thousand percent.” – Brandon Goodwin
