Democrats running for president in 2020 say the rapid job growth and low unemployment under President Trump is not enough and insist America needs to strive for a "moral" economy.
Their calls reflect a growing consensus among Democrats over how to deal with a healthy economy that is creating jobs and the rising influence of socialist candidates and lawmakers in the Democratic Party.
"What happened to a moral responsibility, to a moral capitalism?" former Vice President Joe Biden asked an audience of students Tuesday during an event at the University of Pennsylvania.
The possible 2020 contender recalled his work with General Motors as part of the automobile industry bailout and criticized the corporation for not investing in worker training and modernizing when its fortunes improved.
"I'm not looking for charity. Business is not in business to be in charity, it's to make money. But the last dime does not dictate what corporate responsibility should be," the former 36-year longtime senator from Delaware said.
"And look, I don't begrudge anybody making a million or hundreds of millions of dollars, I really don't. But I do think there's some shared responsibility, and it's not being shared fairly for hard-working, middle-class, working-class people."

Sure sounds like Ol’ Joe is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He reminds me a lot of McCain...all over the place.
Demoncraps would not know something moral if it bit them on the behind.
What’s with these Democrats talking of morality??
We have been told you can’t impose morality. We have been told that we can’t talk of morality on issues such as abortion or homosexual marriage.
So, we can’t talk of morality on certain matters, but now they are saying we should talk of morality in other areas?
Because if you can’t make moral judgements, then how the hell does Joe get off making moral judgements about GM, or anyone else for that matter, when they have told us you can’t legislate morality, and can’t impose morality?
The Baby Eater Party need not ever speak to me of morality.
Don’t you have some children to molest somewhere, Chomo Joe?
So typical of Leftist Democrats. They simply redefine terms to deny the success of the opposition. Cold blooded, cynical, lying hypocrites to a man.
Wtf kind of stupid nonsense is this?!
What’s a “moral” job? Do they want more higher paying jobs? Then stop illegal immigration which will cause the price of labor to go up.
The Democrat party needs to be dissolved.
If I were looking to feed my family, I don’t think I would refuse employment because it was not ‘moral’ enough.
They want moral jobs? I hear the priesthood is looking for help.
There is no system more moral than capitalism. You will be rewarded according to your own initiative and capabilities. You can go as far as you want. YOU get to keep [most] of the fruits of YOUR OWN labor. YOU get to decide how you will live [mostly, until busybody Democrats get hold of you].
Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system during the entire 10,000 year history of humankind. Until capitalism and its wondrous advancements, everybody lived a short, brutal life of hunger and serfdom. How can that NOT be the most moral economic system ever created?
I am always saddened that there are almost no defenders of capitalism these days.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Stop it.
You’re killing me.
The way to get ‘on your feet’ is to get ‘off your a&^’
So what is a moral job to the DNC?
Abortionist? Wedding planner to homosexuals? Near sighted gynocologist?
I think creating a fake dossier, using it to get a FISA warrant, and spying on their 2020 nominee sounds like a moral job.
Morality based on what? Fealty to immoral islam?
I’ll take the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Now let’s talk of morality.
Every honest job is moral. Mike Rowe needs to have a talk with Biden.
One of the advantages of low unemployment is that nobody is forced to take a job they find immoral just to feed the family. You can choose from a variety of jobs and don’t have to accept a job like “Bill’s intern” (and all the immoral acts that went on in Clinton’s oval office).
You must be “willing to work” which is an issue for AOC.
The Rats hid the concept in the closet while Obama was President?
Is "moral capitalism" like selling body parts from late-term abortions, promoting illegal drug trade and human trafficking by refusing to close the border, or maybe hiring illegals at drastically reduced wages because they are afraid to complain?
Rats wouldn't know "moral" anything if it bit them on the a$$.
Moral Jobs pay as well as and are in demand as much as Social Justice Jobs ...
