Of course it is. That's all the right-wing, neo-conservatives do; protect and cater to the modern day aristocracy at the expense of the middle class and the poverty class.


Here's a newsflash for you moron.

The wealth gap GREW under Obama. The wealthy got wealthier, the poor got poorer. But the right is the party that loves them some rich people and hates the poor.

What a fricking idiot.

The wealth gap started grown and widening again starting under Reagan. The presidents since then have just kept it growing.

Wealth gap isn't a problem because there isn't a fix number of dollars in the world that the rich are eating up at the expense of the poor or middle class.

Even if you thought that was a problem, the only way to fix it would be to literally confiscate the wealth of the rich and redistribute it since the rich get richer because they have the money to invest. That's not a very good economic incentive, though.

Good post. But, let me disagree in part.

It can be fixed by not giving tax breaks, corporate welfare, and massive deregulation to the upper class. This does come at the expense of the middle class and the poverty class. It is a redistribution of wealth to the wealthy.

It'll lessen the pain of treating them in an inhuman manner when they're stood against a wall or when you're loading them on cattlecars for transport to internment camps. Remember that they don't give a frick about country or countrymen if you're not of the same political persuasion.

In this case, failure to follow management direction likely is with cause.

Though it's not that easy to fire a FedGov employee (in nearly 30 years I've seen a grand total of TWO let go--and both of those were still in their probationary periods).

I voted for Bernie in the Democratic primary only because there is no way I would ever vote for Hillary. So, I basically voted moreso against Hillary than voting for Bernie.

I voted for Trump in the general election.
