OH FARK can't any of you clowns get why they fall for this stuff? Its called anger and frustration which is a deadly combination. In Germany the general population were totally screwed while a handful of rich people had everything. In a fit of rage they handed their country over to Hitler and the Nazis. Go and look at the French and Russian revolutions. The French handed their country to Robespierre who went on a rampage known as "The Reign or Terror" where he didn't sack people he just publicly guillotined them. The Russians simply handed their country over to Stalin, who then proceeded to kill millions of them. David's old professor Richard Wolff pointed out a Congressional Budget Office report of family wealth. Full title "Trends in the Distribution of Family Wealth, 1989 to 2019" Report number 57598 from September 2022. JUST LOOK AT THE FIRST GRAPH that separates America into the Top 10%, Middle 40% and Bottom 50%. See how little the Bottom 50% have made over those last 30 years which includes 2 x 2 term Democrat Presidents. No matter what happens no matter what the economy id doing they get screwed. Remember the 2008 GFC that was caused by the greed of the Top 10%. Its that dip in the graph after 2007. The Top 10% LOST 11% of their wealth, the Middle 40% LOST 13% and the Bottom 50% LOST 49.5% of their wealth. By 2019 the Top 10% had not only recovered but were $20.2 TRILLION AHEAD of their wealth in 2007. Bush gave them $4 Trillion and Obama gave them another $4 Trillion MOST OF WHICH WAS NEVER PAID BACK. Meanwhile the Bottom 50% of America which is 165 Million people have still not recovered. They were worth $2.7 Trillion in 2007 and by 2019 were worth $2.3 Trillion. If you can't see why these 165 million Americans don't feel cheated out of the American Dream then you're blind. FYI - I'm Australian and because we have almost the same economic policies as American we have the same problem with our Bottom 50%. We get all the news from Britain and they have the same problem. Since the GFC when not one country did a damn thing to change the system the wealthy have thrived the middle class has paid for it and the working class have been smashed. That's why we keep seeing wild swings in elections across the entire Western World. People are so frustrated and angry they will vote for anyone INCLUDING Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Giorgia Meloni in Italy and lets not forget they keep electing Vladimir Putin in Russia.
