Truer words have not been said.

If you are suffering in this economy, it's your own fault. The opportunities are there. The jobs are there. You just have to get off your lazy ass and doing something besides complain and expect the government to provide your sustenance for the rest of your miserable life.

Ah, the King of Debt probably likes that. Wait until more tariffs kick in.....!!!

"Company ownership, equity shares in both public and private firms, has been sliding for the upper middle class too. The share of equity ownership for those in the 50th percentile to the 90th percentile of net worth has fallen. The top one percent of Americans owns the majority of shares."

Ah, as it should be. Bow to the Kings!

BTW, for those of you who think "I have it good, I'm in or near the top 1%"......that would be a net worth of about 11 Million dollars or more. If any regular cruisers of this forum are in that category, they should be here for entertainment.
Suffering? Really? The upper middle class is suffering because they use too much credit? What is the definition of suffering here? Are they starving? No? Do they have some sort if ailment? No? Oh, they're using too much credit? That suffering? Self-inflicted financial pain is not suffering, it's stupid. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Credit use in general has done more to screw up our economy than any presidential policy ever. This is the most ridiculous cry me a river topic ever.

If a Trumpist was up to his neck in cow manure, he'd say he was living high, if it was provided by the Orange One.

He is a life-long con-man/thief who taught his children his CRAFT.
Your post reeks of ignorant ranting. I do find it interesting though, that we have all of these Hollywood types committing suicide or dive deep into drugs and eventually overdose. Hate to say this, but most of the time people get into drugs is to escape the reality of life. I wonder what is so horrible about the liberal run business of Hollywood where suicides, drug abuse, child abuse, rape and murder are so rampant.

LOL
Yep, that would be democrats needing psychiatric help with their Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But since you gave no link or facts to back up this claim, I suspect more liberal fake news.....

This trend was also evident under Obama. The reason is simple. Both Obama and the Trump administration have the same big money donors. You cant vote against Goldman Sachs.

And the people who now dismiss this reality would have the opposite view if a democrat was president. Thats the power of betting on both horses. Goldman Sachs wins no matter what. And the ordinary people try to pretend "their team" really cares about them and not the big money donors.

People have to find the guts to stand up for themselves and not vote for corrupt crooks beholden to big moneyed elites.
