You should run for President.
If Joe can be President with his advance Dimensia you wouldn’t be any different !
The only thing Joe is doing is putting the middle class in the poor class.

They no longer deserve it because………
Unbelievable

no i think it is good. but its interesting that you aren’t complaining about the middle
class getting crushed by inflation. because the potus is a democrat.
politics is all that matter.

So you think there’s no correlation between the two?

The middle class has been taking a beating before the current inflation, and during previous inflations. And the middle class has gotten richer when the rich got richer and has shrunk when the rich got richer. So it seems that the shrinking of the middle class is correlated to something other than inflation or the rich getting richer.
There seems to be a correlation between the shrinking middle class and the growth of centralized corporate and government power.

Corporate power controls government power, perhaps you missed that.

no. to assume there has to be a connection, is to assume that wealth is finite, that it’s a zero sum game, that one person getting richer must get offset my someone else’s getting poorer.
do you believe that’s the case?

Simply put, Wealth measures the value of all the assets of worth owned by a person, community, company, or country. Wealth is determined by taking the total market value of all physical and intangible assets owned, then subtracting all debts. Essentially, wealth is the accumulation of scarce resources.
Control of the distribution of resources enables some to accumulate an amount of wealth that is not commensurate with their investment or the commensurate risk of what they have invested.
This is achieved by political control of laws and regulations to ensure that the controlling parties risk is minimized and return maximized.
