please point out an economic boom in the last 100 years that didn’t help the wealthy more than the little guy.
when the wealthy get wealthier, that doesn’t mean they took anything from us. god, the liberal whining about the wealthy....if you want to be wealthy, do what they did, it’s a free country.

Well the counter question would be is the system wrong, when the rich continue to get richer and those in the middle or the pour bastards changing the sheets in their hotels, cutting their grass and watching their kids barely make a living wage?

it’s not the system, it’s just math. what would you do? make it illegal to keep working or investing after one attains a certain net worth? you’d support that? think, man. Nobody is better off if the wealthy didn’t exist.
if you say we need to improve our safety net for those at the bottom, i agree. but there’s no way to keep the rich from getting richer in a booming economy. Basic arithmetic guarantees that will happen. for sure its not trumps fault. there’s no conceivable way to stop it, and no conceivable reason to try.

Hey Jim, you just don't get how unfairly good things are distributed in this journey we call life. I mean, how fair is it that exercise and a good diet benefits those who work on being healthy more than those who just assume that all will be well until it isn't.
