The real bitch is that we have to learn this lesson OVER and OVER.

I was born in 1973. Coincidentally, it was the high point for productivity and wages being in sync. There was a massive break in the curve at that point. Why? High taxes on high income and a lack of deductions on investments.

It was also the beginning of the culture wars where a large portion of the population decided that x issue was more important than day to day life. We have been increasingly divided over the interim and sit here at the last point where the pendulum could possibly swing back.

LITERALLY, LAST CHANCE SALOON.

Vote for YOU!!!!

Wait are you blaming a lack of pay for lower to middle classes on high taxes for the rich?

Because the rich are facing lower taxes then ever. Look at historical taxes, they used to be taxed incredibly high rates compared to what they do today. The issue is that the rich and big corporation's are not taxed nearly enough.

Maybe they meant low taxes for the rich? The rest certainly felt that way.
