NAFTA/CHINA MFN/IRAQ

Posted on 08/15/2018 9:23:23 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

The giant sucking sound was real and it benefitted only the top 20% of Americans. The illegal issue was supposed to get better instead of worse. China was lured by Nixon/Kissinger to exploit the Sino/Soviet rift. Now they're closer to Russia with the 20% benefitting even more. Invading Iraq cost us $1 trillion + 4k American lives, very few of them amongst the 20 percenters. These big issues of the day were pushed by REPUBLICANS and benefitted a lot of Democrats, especially the Clintons. They ran with it once the table was set. Trump was elected because the voters got smart. The 20% on top are leading the charge against him, using the other 80% as pawns. My only mistake in this plug is that the 20% may be closer to 10.

It’s not really 20% or 10%, it’s that class of people who derive their income from proximity to the corruption. There are plenty of affluent people who got that way honestly and there are even more non-affluent people who have what they do have via corruption.

Yup - 95% of income gains since the mid 90s have gone to the top 20% of income earners, with a huge portion going to the top 2-3%. Personally, I've probably benefited from it, even though I've only worked for two US only companies in my career so far (salaries for mid level and top level execs are quite good across the board)

I was amongst the top 10% and now the money is gaining even more in retirement funds. I just don’t like how we were hoodwinked. WMD’s were hidden or didn’t exist. We should have blown up every bridge and power plant(leave the mosques alone). Then tell them we’ll come back for more if they do it again. Iran was the main culprit so we did their dirty work in Iraq. As for China couldn’t we have set up those factories in the Philippines? They love us there. Even India where they hate the Chicoms as well as Pakistan. We’re being lied to on a big scale and it’s the snowflakes out there that enjoy being used.

What is the source for your claims? Is there a blogger link?

It’s obvious isn’t it? With Trump polling at 90% approval among Republicans then who are the 10% that are not happy with Pres Trump? I will tell you; it’s where the money and the party power is(corruption), only a tiny minority of Koch/Bush globalists control the national ‘R’ agenda.

The prima facie truth needs no source.
