Wages are falling against inflation.
Job stability has been taken away from the working class.
Despite the fact that America has less "socialism" than Europe, America's income mobility lags behind much of the first world.
Employers are getting away with cheating workers out of their honestly earned pay.
American workers' productivity has skyrocketed over the last 30 years but their pay has utterly stagnated.
Unlike wages, the cost of living is perpetually going up.
Corporate profits are at an all-time high. The stock market is also at an all-time high. This is all going on while Capitalist apologists whine that corporate taxes are too darned high. Meanwhile Capitalist apologists still cannot explain how corporate taxes are so high when many corporations are paying no taxes. No, wait, most corporations in America do not pay taxes at all.
Most corporations don't pay those TOO DAMNED HIGH!!! taxes. Productivity has skyrocketed along with corporate profits and the stock market. But wages have been perpetually falling behind inflation for the same amount of time. The cost of living is going up. Job security is long gone.
How long are people going to tolerate this before the working class can no longer afford to live in the US, or a rebellion erupts and everything falls apart?
Who is actually going to step up and argue that these economic patterns can go on forever? The math says it cannot.
