Most Americans don’t care about the economy

Well said

That reminds me of the South Park episode "Margaritaville". A true classic.

Democrats love welfare programs for this very reason. Social policies and economic policies are two big categories of things voters have traditionally cared about the most. When you create a welfare state where economic performance isn't as critical, then you create a safety net for yourself politically so that a poor economy doesn't impact your re-election chances as much, having everything rest on social policy, which is influenced by propaganda via media, big tech, and public schools, among others.

So yeah, I'd imagine fewer Americans care about the economy now than in any other time in our country, and the Dems won't suffer as much politically because of it.

Most Americans have no idea what they pay in state and federal income taxes.

Q. What percentage of your income did you pay directly to income taxes last year?

A. I got back $400!!!!

People like that will be taken care of

the middle class who actually make good financial decisions will suffer, as always

Do they understand how the president keeps saying the economy is rock solid while they're filing for unemployment?

They voted for this

Hail, half of our population can't read a tape measure or tell you what is 48% of $100 is.

quote:

---

More than half the population is either on welfare or up to their eyeballs in debt living paycheck to paycheck.

What the frick do they care about what’s happening with the banks or interest rates? They have credit cards and food stamps

There’s a reason that the school system teaches young people about gays and critical race theory instead of finance. The goal is for everyone to be broke or living off the government tit

If kids were well grounded in the basic tenets of finance it'd be damned difficult to get them to work for anyone and even harder for them to support capitalism as practiced in the United States....best leave well enough alone for those of us who have made it.

I find it funny that most Americans don’t realize that if they gross $50k and take home $40k it often costs the employer $70k or more to employ that person. Matching taxes, workers comp ins, healthcare, retirement, sick time, vacation time. In some cases a fully wrapped position costs more than half of a salary meaning a $50k employee costs the employer $75k.
