is not communism. Nobody wants wealth equality. Everybody just thinks that you should be able to work any job 35, 40, 45 hours a week and live a decent life. If you think someone who's already working 3 part time jobs for 80 hours a week and can't make ends meet is not working enough, well, i'm sorry but you're just blind.

you guys should try to read that if you have the courage:

Of course it's economics so open to criticisms and interpretations, but tell me the world we live in is not more and more like the bolded part.
People want good parts of competition (lower prices on goods paid, more goods available) but want to be made immune to bad parts (I could get fired?! Someone else will work for cheaper?) Politicians have basically been exploiting this fact for years, and yet the only people who ever have to pay for it are the middle class and the poor. There's so many tax breaks and loopholes for people who can afford good accountants/lawyers that it's a joke. Corporate tax rates are high, but that just means we incorporate overseas and pay no taxes. Oh apple has to pay $17B in taxes to the EU? Good thing they'll be able to write off that amount on American taxes.

I'm rambling. Basically the gist is that you can put in all these laws but they'll still find loopholes to screw the American public because the 1% is who is in power, and we always get the same old type of people in congress and the govt. I think the crux of the matter is that Americans (and I'm sure other western countries) have some seriously ingrained societal habits that we have to break in order to stop electing the same old retards (from either party) whose only job is to decide the best position to fuck us in.

That hillary video is so fucking creepy. Up until now she was just grumpy grandma. Now she has gone full blown decrepit super bitch.

ps Trump has a great plan for addressing wealth inequality. Its pretty much the mainstay of his entire campaign. Its tearing down socialist economics and red tape regulations that stifles new business, lowering taxes, and negotiating better trade policies.

Maybe lowering taxes and starting businesses isn't a great way to help middle class and working people?

The trade policy reform shit is a myth. If it was that easy we would have done that already. We live in a global economy and there is no way to roll that back without shrinking our economy here at home.

There's nothing wrong with China making cheap shit for Americans from an America self-interest view. What's wrong, is 100% of the gains going to the owners and none to the citizens of their country. Considering a lot of what they are able to accomplish is thanks to an educated workforce and powerful military, it should never be thought of as exclusively their money to begin with.

I also want to point out that he actually hasn't released anything resembling a "detailed" plan. Just proclamations of his general direction. But I'm sure he has detailed plans...we just will never see them.

I'm not letting Trump put another regressive asshole like Scalia on the court who will uphold our corrupt money grubbing campaign finance system.

Clinton is Reagan lite. After this election (maybe the next one), her way of doing things in the democrat party go with her
