That's not the problem. The avergae voter will be turned off when the problems that usually happen under Democrat gov'ts happen. The Republican advantage is they are backed by the right policies. When they don't follow those policies, events play out just like under Democrat policies.
I suppose we can track this if donations to the RNC decline.
I agree. Reminds me of the old Dylan line:
"You've got a lot a nerve, to say you are my friend. You just want to be on the side that's winning."
The conservative base might be fed up, but it's not because of issues raised in this bogus financial times article.
Most people realize that the economy is doing just fine. In fact it is booming in most parts of the country, with many companies and industries barely able to keep up with orders and demand.
I don't know how wage statistics are kept and measured, but I would venture to say this article is bogus in that it fails to measure small and middle sized businesses.
For example, one of my adult kids just traveled to California to see about setting up roots.
He applied for a job online ??monster.com?? and has been literally inundated with offers.
Yes he is college educated as an industrial engineer, but both he and I were stunned at the number of good quality offers he received, ranging from $55k per year up to $100k/year.
His roommates (non college grads) likewise are working at various ventures, raking in pretty good money.
One of his buds started a musical recording studio and already is booked up with clients willing to pay big fees to make music.
Bottom line: All this talk about a bad economy with falling wages is claptrap from people who appearantly go around looking for bad news.
Even my knuckleheaded in-laws, who are literally dumb as stumps, seem to be raking in the dough in their business ventures, which is asphalt and paving.
