  1. I'm not sure if you guys read your comments but, though I don't think Republicans give a living fart, about low and upper low income working people. People like you said it without even seeing it. Sure, the economy is good now. But for who? People like you, with 401Ks. Stocks, good pensions. 60% of working Americans work 7 to 15 dollar an hour jobs. With very little if any pensions. If they have a 401K. It is only helping if you bust your ass for 30 years, making from 7 to 15 bucks an hour. So. Food prices are through the roof. Gas prices take probably 200 bucks a month or more out of your work pay. Businesses are using people part time. So no benefits. Wages are not compensating for the higher costs. So people are seeing times before the pandemic. Blaming Joe Biden for the higher costs of everything and most people did NOT, get pay increases to match price hikes. And like I said. Sure, people making say 60 though a year and more, with decent retirement benefits, a pension and a way better annual pay are doing fine. But that's not the true working class. But I still think if trump were president now, things would be no better. And maybe even worse. As long as businesses see they can charge almost whatever they want without challenge. People will be pissed. And they'll blame the people in charge and the Republicans are saying that's Biden.
