Perhaps they should stop trying to live a million dollar lifestyle on a hundred dollar skill set.
The average credit card debt per U.S. household is slightly over $16,000. Why do you blame anyone but the people putting that much on those cards for that average?
I do see you now consider rawstory a valid source. When did that change?
Trump tax cuts won't impact us until tax day 2019, ya goof.
But Corporations are expanding, planning ahead knowing this.
Why do I have to come on a political forum and watch dumbasses make threads that make no sense.
Not everyone is stupid.

I can’t argue with the mans observations but the facts are that our lopsided pro business government got there via the support of workers of pro business politicians. This is what they voted for.
A big part of the blame here belongs to The Democratic Party. Since the 60’s Democrats have focused on expanding broad based social equality and freedom at the cost of defending the expansion of economic liberty for labor.
They have stood by disinterested while the fortunes of labor have declined to such an extreme that working class people have abandoned the Democratic Party in droves to such a degree that the working class has now become an influential coalition member of the pro business Republican Party. That is how massive the Democratic Party’s failure to prioritize the economic liberty of labor has been.
Workers also underestimate the power they have to affect change. For example a few years back I and the 7 other colleagues in my group found our selves where our workload had become so large and so stressful with no additional compensation that when one person in our group resigned in frustration the rest of our group tendered our resignations. That had the consequence of shutting down our business unit. Within four hours we were provided the additional resources and pay increases we were asking for.
So labor does have the power to affect real change. What they lack is political leadership that is vested in their economic liberties.

When the Democrats started their push for "social equality" through all sorts of social welfare programs, people that would not provide for themselves learned that they didn't have to do so. All they had to do was claim the inability to do so and the government would use money taken from those that would provide for themselves and hand it to those claiming an inability. In other words, there were two groups in society. Those that worked for a living and those that voted for one.

A doorman at our building is this 70 year old dude. Was chatting with him the other day and he brought up how depressing it is to live in Trump's America and he can't turn on the TV news anymore. But then he brought up the old school left and how Democrats went away from supporting labor. I mostly listened to him but it was interesting what he was saying was along the lines of what you are saying here. I'm not a Democrat so I'm not here telling Democrats what to do but as a political observer I have seen the changes.
The left supports unions with in turn support them. Unions extort owners on behalf of the labor. Your doorman must be suffering from Alzheimers if that's what he recalls of the "old school left".

Are you saying Democrats don't return the favor to unions?
