Voting for Republican economic policies only benefits the top 0.1% of the U.S. population. Why would you vote for them?

the fact is that 80% of all us workers are in the top 1% of global earners so when you get the high tax rates past for the 1% and the left makes a global community we are all in that upper bracket

@marybmom How much has the motor industry shrunk in the US in the last 50 years. How much real salary growth has there been in the last 50 years? How many people have lost jobs or more noticeably, taken worse jobs in the last 50 years. The global earners comparison makes no sense. Many European countries have fabulous universal health and education systems funded publicly. The answers to all these questions shows what a dire mess the US is in.

@yogibooboo you should probably stick with pic-a-nic baskets you it is something you would understand better

@marybmom So your response is to try to insult me. That was predictable as your argument is baseless. I actually work in this world and its obvious you have never read anything more than comic books. Give me a solid argument backed up with real figures and i may take notice.

@yogibooboo you call yourself not calling for socialism but praise socialist healthcare. Which is not fabulous at all as people get sicker and sicker waiting for approval for treatment.

@Mountainlady16 I think its better than being left on the street to die

@yogibooboo and many still die in socialist healthcare or their ailments become worse while waiting months for an appointment. Take my disease for instance when caught early enough and treated the progression can be stopped or even sometimes reversed but if only caught in the first stage. Funny enough in Canada and UK were a child has to wait months for a dermatologist appointment the percentage of ppl with my disease that is in the more severe untreatable stages goes from less than 10 to over 20
