It's sort of amazing how successful the ultra-rich have been at convincing working people to look every for the source of their problems but the real one as we slide into a new feudal era.  |

 Trickle down capitalism is working exactly as intended. The rich get richer, regardless of the state of the economy, and the poor get poorer. The middle class was a bug, not a feature, and soon enough it will be gone. Took long enough. Hooray! ![[straightface]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/X0xvEuKqIvpjcwikdJVq.gif) |

Hooray! i would say the top twenty percent minus one percent combined with the second twenty are the middle class. The bar labelled middle class in that graph is more the lower middle class if anything. But that's just me brah. |

Bannon was trying to convince Trump in his first term that a large tax on billionaires to fund UHC would be so popular that Dems would come to his side. But Trump didn't bite. So it goes. |

That would have resulted in a 50 state landslide that MAGA eagerly anticipated.... |

The only ones who work for a living are the middle class and the ones that always get screwed....the poor have lots of social programs and access to tax-free cash to buy all their luxuries....the rich are rich....

Boomers smdh If Boomers actually pass their wealth down to Millennials, the economy will vastly improve over time. If they spend all of their money and sell all of their assets to corporations/foreign nations, we is fucked. |

But Trump is an idiot so it didn't happen. |

The generation that benefitted from government assistance and unions pulled the ladder up after they got theirs. Greedy fuckers. |

It's easy to manipulate people into hating a different ethnicity.
Chances are that ethnicity and culture aren't going to provide you with things you want.
The wealthy have what we all want, which fools us into blaming economic problems on someone else.

 And so on and so forth. Tell poor white people that poor brown people are hurting them and you are a capitalist. Telling those same poor white people that rich white people are stealing their wealth and you are socialist. So it goes. |
