Now far too many are stuck in the day-to-day struggle just to put food on the table and a roof over their head. While corporate profits - and worker productivity - have skyrocketed over the past few decades, the real value of the minimum wage has actually decreased. <br /><br />"Indeed, the value of the minimum wage today is nearly 30 percent below its peak in 1968."<br /><br />To make matters worse, a college education is rapidly becoming beyond the financial reach of a significant percentage of our population.<br /><br />While you were fortunate to have opportunities to advance in your job, far too many Americans are denied those same opportunities no matter how hard they work.<br /><br />http://www.demos.org/publication/state-american-dream-economic-policy-and-future-middle-classAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-14649996752755721362015-11-26T15:55:34.626-09:002015-11-26T15:55:34.626-09:00I agree completely.

I just returned from a Thanksgiving gathering where I learned that my sister and her husband bought my nephew an assault rifle for his 16th birthday. What goddam teenager needs an assault rifle fails my comprehension. I've decided for my own safety never to set foot in her home again. I am ashamed to be related to those people.

Recently my hard work put me in a fantastic position at work, I learned really quick who my friends really are and who's not worth my time nor effort. I'm not bragging, but I'm just saying when the shoe was on the other foot, there wasn't a jealous bone in my body and I meant the congratulations sincerely from the bottom of my heart. How does one exceeding their expectation and reaching the American dream diminish others who had the same opportunities but were lazy and complacent?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-91514860446260494242015-11-26T14:38:59.122-09:002015-11-26T14:38:59.122-09:00You have to ask what is going on in this country? ...You have to ask what is going on in this country? <br /><br />What has always gone on, but now is in the open: angry, entitled white people (with guns) who have failed to achieve the "American Dream" even when they voted in their Congress of "no" -- it failed to impeach that uppity black (and Communist Muslim) Obama -- it failed to do away with government handouts (their Medicare notwithstanding) to lazy poor people -- it failed to stop gay marriage, it failed to stop all abortions -- it failed to bomb, bomb, bomb...<br /><br />And these white Christianists know they will soon be in the minority and are scared shitless the blacks & "cloth heads" will turn on them and kill them, so they gotta do it first. <br /><br />What is going one NOW is they have a voice and by God they will vote Trump into office, by hook or by crook, and he can sort out everything and everybody who is Other. <br /><br />They really believe it is the only way to save America. They will kill to get it back and feel morally superior as they do it.<br /><br />IMHO.Barbara Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463074148195784152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27585350177541735642015-11-26T13:54:54.374-09:002015-11-26T13:54:54.374-09:00The only thing that can stop a bad anaconda with a...The only thing that can stop a bad anaconda with a gun is a good anaconda with a gun... but those pesky liberals keep saying that anacondas don't have arms!<br /><br />Seriously, the idea that allowing untrained people to wander around carrying firearms somehow makes us safer is a triumph of marketing over common sense. If these folks want to carry weapons, they should be required to be licensed and demonstrate appropriate safe handling and marksmanship skills (plus fire control skills). Without this, they're more of a danger to everyone else than the criminals are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
