My husband and I both work at Microsoft and we are doing just fine, thank you. The stock could be doing better, but all-in-all we make good awges with excellent benefits, as do about 70,000 of our fellow employees.
We live in the bluest country of an extremely blue state. We will both vote for our Republican candidates. This is my son's first time to vote in an election. He will do the same.
I'm sure there are many people who are struggling but on the whole I think Americans are doing well. People don't realize how good they have it. Just like 1992 when Clinton and his people depressed everyone by saying how awful everything was. Funny though how the same people who complain now probably were in exactly the same situation in the 1990s but then they thought it was OK because Clinton felt our pain! Ugh.
I'm sure everyone feels pinched by the cost of living too. Prices on most good and services are always going up. But how is electing a Demo Congress going to help? They will no doubt attempt to raise taxes on individuals and businesses, and they say they are doing it for the middle class! What a joke.
