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

That is total nonsense.
Every segment of the population has benefitted from this economy!
@GJOFJ3 Trump tax cut example: Walmart $20 Billion in stock buy backs, bonuses & an increase in entry level pay.
And then closed 63 Sam's Club stores laying off 10,000 workers.

@yogibooboo It's easy to find the data
Record number of people working full-time 128,57 million
Median household income rose 1.8 percent in 2017, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
At the same time, the poverty rate fell for the third consecutive year.
The latest data boosts an already positive outlook for the U.S. middle class, with the number of job openings reaching a record high of almost 7 million in July.

@GJOFJ3 Census data?? Highly unreliable. Just a segment of the population reporting things that they dont understand on the phone. I live in the data world its census data is the last thing we try to use. On top of which, 1.8% rise is below the cost of living index. In addition, the employment figures mean zilch as they capture underemployment and do not capture the quality of the jobs. Try again, a bit harder this time.
