Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?
Fred
Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.
Yes, I try to purchase everything locally, but when I have to arm chair shop, it would still benefit our community if it was implemented.
ReplyIf local mom and pop stores have to charge a sales tax, then internet stores should have to charge them too. Or else eliminate sales taxes on all stores. We need a level playing field for our retailers.
ReplyI would prefer to support our local businesses, than Amazon and E-bay. I think Jeff Bezos is a Socialist, and every time you help him, you hurt yourself and your country. Jeff Bezos's net worth is 201.7 billion USD.
ReplyPlease do I live in Columbus over 50 years I have recently moved to a county over I do not shop in Columbia when I built my new house my contract I said do not buy anything in Boone County because of the taxes and because of everything about Colombia
