Move on. Trump is bad for all groups except the most wealthy. It is a full time job to keep up with why and how he is bad for we the people. Do you have anything good to say about Biden? How about "America will be Better with Joe Biden" or how about "What America needs is MOJOE". It is not hard to be positive...

Glad the top one percent are eating well. Republicans measure the economy by how the wealthy are faring. Let’s change it and measure it by how well the poorest are getting on. Wouldn’t that be the most accurate measure of their decades of tax cutting “trickle down” rising tide lifts all yachts bullsht?
What is the backbone of our economy? Measure the growth of the Middle Class and you will find our problem. Since 1971 it has been shrinking by the tune of over 10% and the gap between the middle class and wealth is growing. Who is responsible? I am sorry to say that the republican party shares most of this responsibility. They hide their responsibility with minimum wage job creation which hides the reality of who these poor paying jobs really helps. Wealth. Wealth (including Trump) justifies everything with many false narratives like jobs and stock market. I could go on but the bottom line is that the democratic party is now the party of the people both economically and socially and the republican party has turned it's back on the working class. A strong middle class means less poor people barely surviving week to week as many of us pay much higher than minimum wage to our workers. I am a republican on paper but I will vote democrat until the republicans buy back their soul...

The shrinking middle class is primarily attributable to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs from the USA to other countries , especially China . Those were higher paying jobs that have been gutted, and you can thank NAFTA and the pre-Trump corporate taxes for much of those losses.

Simple greed. It’s not that the super wealthy are unhappy the lower classes have a piece of the pie it’s the lower classes have a piece of their pie.

And who is outsourcing jobs and have tax shelters? Wealth will never be satisfied. The super wealth who are running these companies pay themselves unbelievable salaries, outsource labor to other countries, expense super jets and super yachts and then complain they can not compete because of taxes. If we the people (small businesses and individuals) held our representatives accountable there would be more incentives for small business because every penny made stays in the American economy and every penny spent stays in the American economy. Unfortunately the train has left the station now that we have allowed monopolization to grow companies too big to fail, reduce competition, outsource labor and avoid taxes thru tax shelters. Trust me, you and I are not being represented by our Republican politicians any more. We need for Biden to win this and wake up the Republican party. It will be a close election but it would reset the republican party if Biden won in a landslide.
