Corporate profits vs. wages

So the next time you hear a Trump supporter doing some chest thumping about the great economy...
This is through Q2 and compares corporate profits after taxes and real wages.
I know some won't believe the words about what the 'tax break' was REALLY all about.
Maybe pictures will help.

If you don"t like the wages you make go some where else to work.

@Fernie I really think that you live in a dream world if you think Corporations are going to give there employees the money instead of there Stock Holders who invest in the Corporation.

@patkaren1717 What? Where'd that come from? There are millions of people who have been marginalized because suddenly every job requires training they, as blue collar workers do not have...never mind. Why do I bother
patkaren1717 · 41-45, M
@Fernie Don"t bother because you see a problem at every turn. Education is Bad for people.

@patkaren1717 Sorta' the "America: Love it or leave it" argument, huh bud?

And your response to Fernie's VERY accurate comment? Let's not forget something you real 'murican you. Trump and the GOP SOLD this as a way of increasing worker wages. That was the freaking POINT.

Unreal.

No, that is the standard expectation. It’s the trickle down folks that live in a dream world, because the expect this to work backwards.

@patkaren1717 Okay, well where's the magic "Make a job that pays me better" fairy? Because that's the rules right?
