Middle Class in Decline

[Matt1970]

Posts by the Rich Republicans in here show they will not be happy until the 99% are in mud huts in the U.S.

Remember how I've been saying how they hate America for over ten years?

Can that be any more clear than what you see in black and white posted by them for the world to see.

You must have fallen out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

If I was it would put me 6 years above the crap you post.

If the middle class are doing even better, where's the struggling, exactly?

60 year old technologies are commodities now. Why would you post this as some form of proof that the poor are better off now? You know what middle class families had back then? Home ownership, new car, vacations, annual raises...and on and on.

I live in a middle class neighborhood. Nearest house that is rented is 6 houses away.

Don't forget that America's middle and working classes also happen to be very well armed. These are the same people whose wealth you stole and hoarded away in offshore accounts. How many gated communities can you build?

Look in a mirror before projecting your own inadequacies onto others.

Big corporations cut out middle class jobs. People are now jobless or severely underemployed. What are the percentages going to shift towards?

Thus, creating a pool of highly skilled workers who will settle for lower wages. This plays right into the hands of these corporations. They're finally reaping the rewards of the seeds that they have been sowing for the past few decades.

 

[Icepick]

They will not. The further we descend our middle class the closer we are to outright revolt. The scales will tip back once again, but the question is will too much damage have been dealt at that point? That is my concern.

Outright greed on levels even I cannot fathom has ruined this country. The financial services industry needs to be put on a leash and severely restricted in what they are allowed to do. That won't happen until they've bled the system for all it's worth.

So much truth in one post. The 1% will not be happy.

Exactly what industry are you refering to?

What on earth does this mean? Why do you assume republicans are rich simply because they post something in here? Maybe you are just an evil rich selfish liberal piece of scum?

What exactly is wrong with earning a lot of money? Is it your goal to live in a one room shack with no air conditioning or electricity and earning $9,000 a year?

First of all you are erroneously considering all republicans as rich. Before you call people rich like it is some kind of a plague, you better tell us how much money you made last year. Maybe you are the rich bastard that you hate??? There is something inherently evil with hating someone because of how much money they make or aquire. This is communist rhetoric.

Maybe the USA needs to resize our expectations. People want to live in Large houses but they dont have a large enough of an income to support their expectations. So they want to blame it on rich people. Sure you can live in a city where people make more money, but does it do any good if the cost of living is beyond your reach?

Tick tock.....

I see, you are making more false accusations. Nice talking point.

Show me a working poor Republican.

I bet very very few if any.

Yes, it shows that being a Republican means a higher success of making a ton of money, normally more than one person could possibly need.

No one aid earning a lot of money is wrong.

It becomes wrong when corrupted like now when it is at the expense of all others.

That's OK. Soon enough there will not be enough of the working class to afford any kind of a house and your goal of them being in non-air conditioned one room shacks will be a reality along with a full blown revolt against your kind on your hands.

 

[piasabird]

You just proved my point.

 

[piasabird]

All money earned is at the expense of others in some way. Capitalism is by definition a competitive environment. So if you have a job it is at the expense of other people who want that job. This is the way it works. Life is a competition. It has its flaws, but what is the alternative. Do you want everyone to be a poor bastard that does not make enough money to eat and have to stand in a breadline? This is communism.

What is "more than one person could possibly need"?

How about those people who made a lot of money before the recession, and are now using it to keep their business operating and their employees on the payroll while they wait for it to end? Do they have more than they need?

How about all these people who are facing big medical bills, either their own or those of a family member? Do only poor people suffer those kinds of illnesses and injuries? Or do they need to have that money to pay for their medical bills until the ACA takes over?

No one aid earning a lot of money is wrong.

Never fear. Our dear leaders will just raise the poverty level, so that those folks get handouts to pay for the a/c.

Sure, you go ahead and keep believing that.

If that were even true it would be proof you are on th wrong side then.

lol Way to not refute a single point I made and instead insert a stupid off subject statement to deflect the truth and confuse the weak.

I rent a $200,000 home right now because I refuse to buy in a predatory market, especially when these assholes can just tank the economy for fun and rip me off anytime they want.

The fact is that in this country right now the financial industry is going crazy. The people are making 100 times what some of the best doctors, engineers, scientists (remember those people? The truly productive members of society.) in the world are making. And it isn't as if these people are even smart, they're just sons of Senators and trust fund babies that had this whole scheme handed to them and then they just milked it for all it was worth.

Honestly, that really makes no sense to me as someone who grew up in a well off family. Money barely even interests me because I had everything I wanted when I was a kid. Hell, I was driving a brand new off the showroom floor 1998 Trans Am while I went to UGA. I had an off campus apartment, a strong weekly allowance, and I parked in the Student Center Parking Lot everyday. To grow up in that environment and still be greedy, money hungry, and envious of those who have more is indicative of a mental disorder honestly.

And so that is what we have, a nation run by mentally unstable spoiled brats who are all playing a game of financial penis envy. It's a total fucking joke. It is not what America is about and it is a waste of all of our time.

Nobody hates the rich, but people are becoming resentful because they see the rich are not getting there through hard work & being smarter. They are working shady back room deals, doing insider trading as a regular business practice, and forcing companies to fail just so they can bet huge sums of money against them and making trillions doing so. And where do you think all of that payout money for their bets comes from? The rest of us. You, me, my parents who worked their fucking asses off their whole lives, and every other taxpayer in this country are having to cover the bill for this bullshit. Basically, these guys are gambling AGAINST our retirement and savings money, and they have rigged the casino so they cannot lose.

How is that the Michael Jordan of anything?

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

The financial services industry is the single biggest threat to our economy today.

There is absolutely no reason why a hedge fund manager should ever make more money than a doctor or scientist. Their contributions to society come nowhere close. That is the problem with our economy today, the financial elites have warped the system into compensating themselves orders of magnitudes above everyone else.

That is not what the rich are. That is what people are being spoon fed about the rich by the extreme left. The problem is that the media typically runs with it. I am just saying the middle class still has a lot of the tings they had back then and more.

Nioce .....when in doubt and cornered without a valid argument or response Dave goes back to calling everyone meanies.

If we lived in a country where income is proportionate to your contribution to society I would agree.

But, we're not so your point is moot.
