[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1892826, member: 56035"] [URL]http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-21/goodbye-middle-class-51-all-american-workers-make-less-30000-year[/URL] Capitalism has no loyalty to american workers. jobs have been outsourced, wages have fallen, and working conditions worsen. to quote: "if you have no debt and you also have ten dollars in your pocket that gives you a greater net worth than about 25 percent of the entire country." "You can find the report that the Social Security Administration just released [URL='http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2014']right here[/URL]. The following are some of the numbers that really stood out for me… [LIST] [*]-38 percent of all American workers made less than $20,000 last year. [*]-51 percent of all American workers made less than $30,000 last year. [*]-62 percent of all American workers made less than $40,000 last year. [*]-71 percent of all American workers made less than $50,000 last year. [/LIST] [B]That first number is truly staggering. [/B] The federal poverty level for a family of five [URL='https://www.google.com/#q=federal+poverty+level+2015']is $28,410[/URL], and yet almost 40 percent of all American workers do not even bring in $20,000 a year." AND "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans now live in a home that receives money from the government each month." socialism is worker control of jobs. some people think you have to give the government control of industry first, and then hand it over to workers. and some people think you dont do that, and just have a worker takeover immediately. im quite impressed with the presidential candidates in the lead. i think sanders, trump, and maybe ben carson and fiorina would be better than any president since 1980. hilary will be worse than obama but better than w bush.
