    How are the vast number of Americans in economic danger? 50% of Americans own stock including IRAs by teachers, plant workers, and many other working class Americans. Their economic condition is improving as the market grows those retirement accounts.

    You make unfounded and overly simplistic assumptions by claiming he was "my" president. I was never a Trump supporter.

    If you think everybody is going to be better off because a new president takes office you are very naive and have not followed history.

    I see. You merely defend Trump every time he is criticized. Got it.

    True, Jack, but it still needed to be said.
    Until everybody acknowledges that trumpanzees are a cancer on the republic, it can't be repeated enough, actually.
    Trump supporters can indeed go fuck themselves--preferably at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775

    If my retirement account increases by 20% and a billionaire's account increases by 20% the gap in our wealth increased. However, that means both of us are winning. If my economic situation is improving I don't care if his wealth increases faster than mine.

    I am not envious of others for being wealthy. They are not taking anything away from lower income people just because their stock holdings increase in value.

    Yeah. Me neither.
    See. Like you could have said: 'Increase Minimum Wage to $15/hr.' ... or 'Promote Union Labor Jobs'.
    Or maybe mentioned 'Andrew Yang' and his UBI idea.
    Sorry, I won't bother you again.

    Provide one example.

    I always refute false statements regardless of who they malign--that makes me neither Democrat or Republican but nonpartisan.

    You're discussing two people both invested in the Stock Market and rising as Corporate America rises. Both are 'Haves'.

    I'm discussing the Plight of the 'Have-Nots'. The Working Class that ISN'T invested in the Stock Market and live 'hand-to-mouth'.

    Another poster who resorts to insults and foul language when he has nothing substantive to say. JPP has enough of those already.

    Doesn't move us forward with the usual/typical 'My Team is Good, your Team is Bad'.
