This meme must have a lot more to do w/ lazy thinking than w/ reality. Doom'n'gloom is the easy lazy path becuase it leads into self pity and getting care from others. 
As far as the America's economic activity goes we're richer than ever--
--
and our wages are at an all time high,
and most Americans know it:
i didn’t read the whole article but coming from CNN, I guarantee they covered for the real rig is for big government, federal workers, 30% of which are African, and a tax code which takes 50% of our income. Look at the deficit, as the rigged economy buries our children and grandchildren in debt.

.... Bernie Sanders may have started it, but Donald Trump now uses that exact term ....
I am going to be a nitpicker for a moment.
Trump came out of the gate taking about the need for a wall between Mexcico and USA.
Trumps platform was copied by the other 17 Republican candidates.
I think Bernie copied Trumps tactic of explaining the mess we are in and the path to a better future.

Pretty much the definition of crony capitalism...
Unfortunately, 47% of the voters think the solution is to get free stuff from the government to compensate for the disparity.
Of course it’s rigged!!! Thrift, hard work, discipline, continuous learning about your company and its customers - those things pay off over the long term every time they’re tried.
But who wants to do those boring things? That ain’t no fun!!
This is NOT good news.
It just means increasing numbers will continue to vote for the Bernies and Lieawathas of the world to “make things fair”.
K Street and Wall Street have only themselves to blame.
Reap the Whirlwind fellas.
The other 29% do not understand our economy, nor can they spell economy. They are the locked in voters for the rats, like their parents and grandparents who voted for FDR until he died.
Unfortunately, many of them continue to vote for the rats after they die, like their parents and grandparents.
Absolutely, totally rigged if you aren’t part of the club...
