>>yeah - and in that speech last night the Bad orange Clown said unemployment is at an all time low and more people are working than ever before -- and then said the big problem we have is that all the illegal Mexicans are taking everyone's jobs!

Calling POTUS names isn't impressing anybody and the point he makes repeatedly is that illegal workers can be abused, undermining wages for Americans and allowing the 1% off the hook for a living wage or the moral idea that the labourer is worthy of his wages. The solution to that should not be increasing welfare to make up the shortfall, but removing the conditions allowing the owning class to shirk their obligations. If there are no illegals to abuse, the wages start to rise but also the bullying to perpetuate the status quo goes up a notch. Those accustomed to unnatural profits from underpaying workers, are not going to give up easily. This is happening now if you look, and the Dems are all in on preserving a porous border and the status quo. So whose side do they think they're on? Eventually the disadvantaged groups you take for granted can be expected to change sides, so watch out.

>>Over the past 40 years the Republican's policies and trickle-down-economics have benefited the rich and hurt the poor. Thus saying the dems are the 'party of the rich' is ridiculous. Are the dems completely innocent in all of this? No of course not -- however clearly the Republican party bears 90% of the blame here. Plus they have not learned from this and want to continue to march down the same failed path.

Trump himself declared he would not be reducing pensions like every other Republican so perhaps you and he can agree on something. ;-) But now ask yourself why after Mitch got booted from his own state, he is elected again when he was one of the strongest proponents for 1% profits at the expense of workers? And then when you see such a person openly undermining Trump along with all the others demanding porous borders- do you not stop to wonder why?
