I thought the problem was he is rich.... oh and white. Can't avoid the racism in your thought process here.

BTW, you think Hillary cares about anyone making under $250,000? Or that Obama did? Guess again.

It is because of people like you racism is as high as it is. Constantly using race as reasoning is f**king retarded bullshit. Many on the right typically didn't like Obama because of his f**ked up polices, not because he is black. I see you even had to use gender in your f**ked up argument, which means you will claim Hillary lost because she is a female not because she is a f**king crook, liar, and thief. You are nothing but a racist bigot. You hatred for Trump is completely unjustified. F**king grow up and get over yourself.

It might have to do with his inability to say "Radical Islam", how he decided to take credit for Bin Laden instead of giving the credit to those who deserve it, complete disregard towards military personnel, and when something major seems to happen he decided to play golf instead of doing anything about what took place. Yea it is hard to see why we wouldn't like him. Oh shall I also include the gun control laws he wanted to establish, pretty much trying to take away our right to bear arms. But of course, being the racist bigot that you are, you will only claim that it has to do with him being black. F**k off asshole, it has absolutely nothing to do with his race.

Did I f**king say how much he played golf? F**k no, dumbass. I f**king said he chose to play golf when a major disaster took place. F**king learn how to read.

Or you mean like how Obama wouldn't leave the golf course when 11 people died and 40,000 homes were destroyed during the Louisiana floods? Not only did he play a round that morning, but after getting word of what took place he headed back out to the course for another round, his 8th in 11 days. Trump at least addressed the public about the attacks before going out to the course that he was already set to go to before the attacks. Obama never addressed the public or changed his travel plans when a disaster took place here. I am sure that the 333 rounds Obama played in 8 years made him a great dad. F**k off.

I'm the one triggered? You are the one that is using racism as reasons why Trump and Obama were elected. Trump will be better for us than Obama, and definitely better than Adolf Sanders.

Of course you are attacking like a typical butthurt f**ktard liberal, when proven wrong with facts, you ignore what is said and just attack in what ever way your pea sized brain can come up with. Facts hurt, don't they asshole.

Trump didn't win because he was rich and white. He won because he was not Hillary. I believe if the DNC had not been corupt and tried to shove Hillary down our throats, we would have a different president. Despite what many liberals want to believe, Trump was not running against Obama, if that were the case, I believe Obama would have won.

This is the problem with establishment democrats. You absolutely refuse to look at what mistakes you have made and what inprovements you could make. All this whining about Trump and his supporters. All you're doing is demonstrating that you have zero respect for almost half the American people. That is not a precursor for compromise and progress, that is a precursor for civil war. Lets just hope that Establishment Democrats fade away rather than getting the civil war that they are pushing for.

Which is currently neither party. Establishment Democrats merely view the poor as guaranteed votes. They want to keep the poor poor. They have no interest in helping them.

Unions and minimum wage are only theoretically helpful if you can get a job in the first place. (Which is why republicans try to improve the economy as a whole).
Unions are a mixed bag. You have good ones like the teamsters who actually work with and represent their workers, and then you have crap ones like SEIU which are only interested in collecting dues and will actually harm workers if they believe it will help them aquire more dues payers.
Artificially inflated minimum wages are actually harmful. Causing inflation. Money has no actual value and id determined by what is in circulation (not what exists). If you have more dollars chasing the same products (housing for instance) prices go up. This is why when minimum wage went up, so did my rent. I was also making more than minimum wage at the time, so I effectively took a pay cut. It also makes it harder for new workers to enter the job market as employers might be less inclined to hire an unproven worker at a higher rate.
I'm for affordable healthcare, but that is not what the ACA provided. Many could barely afford the premium, and then could not afford deductibles and co-pays. They were being legally forced to purchase a product they could not afford to actually use. That's not affordable healthcare, that's extortion.

40 years ago a minimum wage job could buy a house. Wages for workers haven't gone up at the same rate they have for executives at the same companies. The middle class is shrinking yet the rich get richer.

When tax rates were higher on higher earners we all did better. The economy geows best from the middle out. When the middle class is strong more peoe do better. Nick Hanauer (a billionaire) can explain it better: https://youtu.be/bBx2Y5HhplI

Do you realize why it is called minimum wage? It isn't because that is the least amount someone needs to live off of, but is a minimum that should be paid to keep from essentially have people as slaves.

Yes there is a problem with taxes, and there will always be a problem with that. The real problem is greed. Does it really cost more to build a house today than it did 40 years ago? Yes and no. The basics of a home is essentially the same. However people think they need to be paid more to make the lumber, hardware, ect. and then the warehouse employees think they need more money to sell the items. Next the builders think they deserve more money as well. Each increase in wage increases the price of each item. This makes a $50k home 40 years ago a $200k home today. It isn't just the rich's fault for this, but everyone involved.

So in minimum wage was to be increased, so will the cost of the products that are involved with that job. $15/hr min wage will result in a $10 big mac. If someone making minimum wage wants to make more, then maybe they should do more. Get a career instead of doing the minimum and sayeverything should be handed to you. Blaming the rich for you being poor doesn't make you rich, doing something to improve yourself will.

You missed everything that I stated. It is not just the CEOs that are wanting raises that causes costs to go up, BUT EVERYONE. And being competitive does not mean prices go up, but the very opposite. The factor (other than the cost of making something due to the need to cover wages) is supply and demand. Competitiveness causes prices to go down, as companies try to make the product cheaper to be able to have a lower resale value and make up the difference in volume sold.

Do you not understand the basic principle of business is to sell the products at a rate to not only cover all overhead but to also make a profit? If minimum wage was to be raised to $15/hr, do you really think the $5 meals at McDonalds, Burger King, ect. will cover all the overhead? Highly doubtful. That means the cost of that $5 meal will most likely change to $8-10. Places who have already done this have experienced this. In fact a guy in Oregan was happy when he started making $15/hr, but then realized it was a bad thing when his boss had to shut down the business because they couldn't afford to pay the new minimum wage without raising cost of their product. So should they have raised the prices of their pizzas and gouge the customers or close shop?

BTW, you should consider yourself wealthy, I would be if I made that much. Shit I would consider my self wealthy making $90k, but I barely make half that.

But here is what you missed completely. If EVERYONE wasn't so greedy in thinking they need to make more money, inflation would not be as high as it is, and people would be better off. It is not just the CEOs fault on this. I am not even going to get started on the issues with unions. As far as I am considered, they cause more problems than anything and are no longer beneficial. Should have gone away after the great depression.
