When will common folk conservatives realize. When Trump says. America is experiencing its greatest economy ever. He's not talking about an economy that works for us peasants.

What expense has increased enough to change how your household actually lives—even if your income has gone up? Let me hear from you. 🎤

I wish people would understand what you have just explained. Prices never go back down, they all stay the same or go up. Your paycheck stays the same. You can never catch up with the prices of groceries, rent, bills. Then people start using their credit cards and can’t even pay the minimum on it. You just keep making the debt whole bigger. While you can’t even get a second job because there are not a lot available.

they don't have any connection to reality. Tax them at the same rates we pay.

The real difference in a third world country is who's very rich and poor. Our middle class is dead under trump.

It’s the biggest wealth extraction scheme in American history. They’ve spent decades making us dumber to get us to this point, and social media was the nail in the coffin. We never recovered from the ’08 crash. We had the illusion of recovery because tech companies were blitzing the markets, setting us up to get here. This is late-stage capitalism.
