I blame Bush!
Ditto
It’s been a loooooong slog crawling out of the flaming wreckage that lil Bush left us in. The next Democrat president will have an easier job getting us back were we used to be.
Well he did not help when he doubled down on trickle down. Cut taxes on the rich, cut benefits for the middle class; then borrow and spend money the middle class will have to pay back. That is the Bush economy in a nutshell.
But, he gave me a $300 check. That really helped in the long run. Especailly after he destroyed the economy several years later.
I ejaculate on bush!
Might as well. Everyone else dose. LOL
“#10 The percentage of wealth owned by middle class adults is lower in North America than it is anywhere else in the world.”
How could this possibly be anywhere remotely close to true?
i hope it is true, and it would be a great thing, think of all the money trickling down all over the place
Ask Ron Reagan
Because it is. You should have listened to the debate last night, You would know this. Wealth inequality in the US has reached the level of the years of the robber barons. Since 1980 90% of all gains in income have gone to the top 10% of Americans. In the US today the combined net worth of the top 10% is almost as much as the remaining 90%. All of this has largely happened since 1980. If you doubt that ask your buddy Ben Carson. He said the same thing.
What do you think the wealth disparity complaints are all about?
The middle class is so much larger in proportion in the US than in many other nations. How possibly can the claim literally be true? “Anywhere else”

read it and weep for the middle class
Click on the highlighted area and read the article. What is considered middle class here isn’t the same thing as in say, Egypt (only 5% are middle class).
To adjust for the different income and wealth levels around the world, there’s no single definition of “middle class,” but rather a big range. Just $13,662 in assets will get you into the middle class in India, but you’d need at least $50,000 to be considered for the category in the United States.
Well of course. What is Middle class for a nation has to be relative. If the richest people in India make 50% of what the richest people in the US make, they are still the wealthy by India standards. You can quibble if you want, but what they are measuring is wealth disparity. Who controls the nations wealth.
What SSFH, is amazed at is that his perception that America has a larger middle class than anyone else is wrong. If we break any society into Rich, Middle Class and Poor, America is not faring well. The middle class in other countries, particular the Western Democracies other than the US, are doing much better than our middle class..
If our economy was working the way it did for most the 20th century, the wealth of the nation would be more widely disbursed, instead of being concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. The continued concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands and the shrinking middle class is what this shows.
I am not disagreeing with you. Just pointed out to the poster the differences in middle class around the globe.
You believe that because of who you listen to.
Please explain, then, the admission of error by Keynes in his distribution model, which he expressed just before he died.
People also listen to who they listen to because of what they believe.
I heard a lot of re-writing of history. Is that what you meant? Fascism will never work in the future, just as it is not working, now.
I am not going to respond to the Nazi, crap. It just shows you are a party of duped old men. Because the only people I know who sound like Nazis are Republicans.
But I will say oligarchy sucked for the vast majority of Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries . That it sucks for most Russians today, and America is rapidly becoming an oligarchy again. So there is a lot more risk of America turning into Modern Russia than Nazi Germany.
And Democrats and GOP elitists are aiding in the growth of that oligarchy. However democrats are turning Oligarchy into Fascism. It’s an easy step. Look at Rome, ca 44BCE.
Fox, Beck, Rush, etc didn’t prepare you for that one did they?
Hey Georgie, can I borrow that Mission Accomplished banner of yours?
Well sure if you want to look at the bad side.
note to Thumper, probably a good idea not to mention barns in a post, lets just say it is leaving the barn door open for some pretty sharp zingers.
That’s good advice from someone called Stumpknocker. I’m not sure that there are many left who know what a barn is, much less been in one.
really sad too, playing in a hay barn is more fun than any video game ever made
Yep. True when you’re a kid, and innoscent. Then whenTrace Adkins – Brown Chicken Brown Cow – YouTube

This is suppose to be a bad thing?
#21 In 2013, women earned 60 percent of all bachelor’s degrees that were awarded that year in the United States.
Yes. That’s threatening to woman hating ‘comservatives’. Wait they find out how many of them are……*gasp* MINORITY women!!!!
after living in sc for most of my life, that list looks pretty damn good to me, what is he whining about?
Believe I would fact check this claim. The person who wrote the article linked no source. She has no credentials, other than she started a love advice blog because her husband cheated on her.
#17 According to Fox News, approximately 70 percent of married men in the United States admit to having cheated on their wives.
“Where my country gone?”
Wasn’t Rush supposed to of expatriated himself by now?
he did try, he got busted with a bottle of viagra and sent home
I’m sure he had his ‘housekeeper’ go get him some more pills to ease the pain of staying in the USA. Wait! Rush fits nearly everyone of those categories above! Fat sick lazy white men are going to destroy America, I guess…
the really sick thing is he was going to a third world country, the only reason i can see him doing that would be to sexually exploit dirt poor local girls
Bingo! He really hates women. Save him the air fair.
Boys, dummie.
Hillary and Michelle both look like men-or some kind of animal. Your point?
Dude…it was Oxycodone.
‘Murica
This is based on individuals who have TRIED pot or coke in their lifetimes.
America has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet.
we might, legalizing pot would remedy that over night
No. Legalizing ALL drugs would get rid of that…..the category of statistic, that is.
This list is so misleading. According to the source, 49% said they were generally happy. The survey was done in 2010, I’m shocked with the state of the economy they found that many happy 50 year olds.
#32 One survey of 50-year-old men in the U.S. found that only 12 percent of them said that they were “very happy”.
that seems about right, only 12 percent of men over 50 are frigging hard bodied chics
The guy has a blog about a coming ‘end of America’. He knows how to keep the clicks coming from Libertarian Doomtard preppers. They live for this type of crap.
Look at the comments on this thread, up till NOW.American hating socialists that seek not only the destruction of this country but the destruction of communities and families as well in this country.
Filthy perverts. America has rejected you.
i’m an all american pervert and you are full of shit
your downloads tell us that.
pretty cool are’nt they
Folks…we have an obvious impostor here. You’re not getting the real, 100%, genuine article like you do with me..this douche has made in Malaysia written all over him.
(Sweeney) TODD: AH, these are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!
LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!
TODD: What is that?
LOVETT: It’s priest. Have a little priest.
TODD: Is it really good?
LOVETT: Sir, it’s too good, at least!
Then again, they don’t commit sins of the flesh,
So it’s pretty fresh.
TODD: Awful lot of fat.
LOVETT: Only where it sat.
TODD: Haven’t you got poet, or something like that?
LOVETT: No, y’see, the trouble with poet is
‘Ow do you know it’s deceased?
Try the priest!
I watched the DVD a year or so ago.
I loved this song.
Amerikkka was founded on genocide & racism. It has morphed into a Zionist experiment of world domination doomed to failure.This is a fact, there is no doubt.
Stay at the conspiracy sight you came from.
SITE, pogo, for God’s sake! It is spelled S-I-T-E!
Ignorant dipshit.
Mike Snyder has a few college degrees but knows very little.
How is #21 a negative?
The whole farce is for targeted click bait and comments between the far edges to get on here and call each other names while spouting cut and paste talking points from kool aide websites with no original thoughts. Working perfectly it seems.
This article proves once again that the Great Society was the biggest mistake in history. Every statistic goes to hell after it was started.
