Poorism. The evilest hate there is. And The Single Most Ignorant.

Under Trump, my company has restored a yearly bonus that they whittled at during the Obama years. Pretty sure that is because there are 1.7 million unfilled jobs out there now, and they have to be competitive. And because of the cut in the corporate tax rate. When actual investors are allowed to keep more of their own money, they actually invest. And America benefits.

Good luck to you in finding a good life for yourself. It is not easy, and it took me a long time, but the government will not do it for you. You have to work at it and make good choices. Hope all goes well.

You give Trump that credit?

So if you company folded next month you would blame Trump?

That’s not how this works.

The money trickled down.

That isn’t trickle down. That’s just jumping on the right boat while having the skills to not get thrown over board.

Everyone who worked for a start up didn’t become a millionaire.

This is false.

Well, you might make a little more but CEO’s have made 300 times what they made 40 years ago while the average worker hasn’t even made twice as much.

Not doing too bad. The wife and i are sitting around a fire, drinking bourbon and smoking cigars at our rural cabin.
We plan on riding our ATV's tomorrow.
We were just talking about still having $1900 in our checking account after making the $700 health care payment and the truck payment (just bought a new one).
We both love our jobs, live in a very mediocre house. Both our industries are doing good, she is in finance and i'm in automotive. Things have really gotten better for us since 2007, i was out of work for a year. We are very happy with our lower middle class life.

I see we've resorted to victim blaming now

A victim isn't someone who makes the wrong decisions. Overwhelmingly those that do not make it need to look into the mirror to find who is at fault.

Now if you want to correctly say the ones who vote against big government are the victims when government manipulates the economy, then I'll agree.

Overwhelmingly most millionaires worked for their money.

I’d ask for a source, but I’m afraid any link you provide will give my computer a virus.
