Reading some of these posts it’s clear to me that there are some who don’t appreciate the way this country built the worlds largest Middle Class and the success that gave this country only to see it whittled away over the decades by a very few of this country’s richest and most powerful.
None of this imbalance was an accident. The gap in CEO to Employee pay has grown exponentially and they worked hard to rig things so this would happen. We’re LITERALLY witnessing a massive example of this right now!!! Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: |

I'm not american, I'm european middle class but the issue is the same amongst all western countries. It's a world thing. Here in France there is more outrage at people cheating the various governments aid funds (estd loss 2014 €1.5 billion) than there is for tax evasion (estd loss 60 to 80 billion euros).
Meanwhile, we live in a world like this I don't see how this is sustainable in the long run. |

I think they do understand Nix, its just that they don't care. Or in many cases they are in full support. Most importantly they can't admit to being wrong. But if they did, there wouldn't be any republican voters left. It's the most incredible irony that people knowingly and with full understanding vote against basic self preservation, because they have subscribed to a belief system and are too obstinate to accept that they are wrong. For republican voters to be rational, they would have to accept that all the straight up garbage they have been spewing for years is just that. Chances of that happening is lees than zero. What person likes to admit they have been wrong about what is and isn't real? As long as the GOP keeps up the dog and pony show, their voters can justify willfully suspending reality and grabbing on to that last morsel of fake news that makes them feel good about their belief system. It's a disease. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates
