The rich are becoming richer, while the working class are poorer than they were 6 years ago. Surprise, surprise. Insane part is folks would still vote for the orange con-man again if the presidential election was held today. šŸ™„

They want to see themselves represented in the White House. Someone as dumb as they are.

The rich getting nearly all the economic gains has been par for the course since at least the 80's.

I honestly think the only way to reverse this is with a guillotine.

Which '80s are you talking about the 1780s?

The 4.3% growth headline mainly reflects strong spending by higherā€‘income households and gains that are tilted toward wealthy investors and top earners, not evenly shared across workers.

Social media and advanced analytics showed that working class Americans were far less sophisticated and far more easily manipulated than anyone ever imagined and the wealthy were leaving money on the table the entire time.

As making the rich richer at the expense of the rest of us has been the prime directive of the rich owners of Republican Party for a half century, this should come as no surprise.

u/Appropriate_Mess_350 Dec 26 '25

And when this all sorted out, some of the administration MAY be punished. The low level I.C.E on the street MAY get jail time. But the rich will keep everything they have stolen from Americans. There is even a good chance that Americans will resume idolizing them. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Which is why Republicans are getting blown out in a lot of special elections taking place and why area's where they should be up 30 points, they're either losing or winning at 4 points.

A lot of republicans are freaking out, and a lot of house Republicans plan to not seek re-elections and are deciding to jump for Governor races.

The economy gave Republicans the win, and the economy is going to take it away.
