The Democrats have ruined this country for black people...

Welfare, that's half the story. But the other half is this: In the 1970s a black kid (or any kid) could graduate high school, then go get an entry job at the local mill or factory. Those companies are now all overseas. The Democrats and the Republicans share responsibility for letting that happen.

All the good paying factory jobs are gone.

People have two choices: either live on welfare or go to prison.

The jobs that are left don’t provide upward mobility.

Nowadays all you can buy are cheap Chinese goods.

No, America is not great again. In Washington, they live in a bubble.

Though, those jobs were joining in any case -- as the rest of the world realized the benefits of capitalism, they expanded their industry. At the same time, automation has eliminated many, many jobs.

If the USA had shut down and not allowed any movement of jobs, then the brands would have been high priced and would have a lower number of buyers, so the jobs would be lost in any case.

You are assuming a desire to work. There is a big problem with that assumption.

Also, with all the perks and handouts does on really need a factory job to do well?

Sorry, LETTING that happen? That happened BECAUSE of the (D) and (R).

You give the carrot to those that don’t produce and use the stick on those that DO, you end up with what we have today.
