Thank you all for participating in this discussion. Please continue questioning authority and testing your own opinions to see if they are factual. It's in your best interest. If you're being fooled, it's for someone else's benefit, not yours.

No one will ever change your mind except yourself. Check your sources of information to see if they're credible. Here's the test: do they ever admit making a mistake and how clearly and responsibly do they correct it? Do the sources seek to sway your opinion using blatant fear and anger or do they simply inform with factual reporting of what is happening in the world around us?

And finally, we are all Americans. There's over 300 million of us. We come from different backgrounds and cultures, and we will disagree on a lot of things. But, with few exceptions, we all care about the security and prosperity of our country. We all want a just and reasonably equitable society. And we all want a fair chance to succeed. Those are the ties that bind us together, that make these states "united".

In the big picture, we are all on the same side. Beware of the groups and forces who seek to divide us.

I used to think Trickle down economic works but now I don't . We really don't need to raise taxes on the rich, we need to do away with the BS write off that they are giving.

Putting the word “only’ in there is where you are wrong.

BTW... don’t you want more money?

Most people do.

Something is odd.

We are told employment is extremely low, but so is inflation (except for health, housing, food, and education, which are going up insanely).

How is this possible? One way employers keep wages down is by pointing to the unemployed and saying,"You can be easily replaced". If that is not happening, why is there no wage pressure pushing inflation up?

Did all the employees suddenly get completely happy with their lot in life? Not likely.
