My favorite part of the tax cuts. From the article I posted below.

Corporate shareholders, however, have made out great. The repatriated earnings mostly have been used for “a record-breaking amount of stock buybacks, with $1 trillion announced by the end of 2018.”

Corporate Shareholders have DESTROYED American capitalism as we knew it.

We can joke all we want, but I can actually feel trix's views in that video with the Berniecrat, and you should, too. Dems are at risk if they don't connect with these types of people.

Preaching to the choir man I am with you 100%.

Fox does the same thing with climate science. It has real world effects. It warps the information people depend on to make decisions.

Like that MAGA woman at Amash's town hall. Said that was the first time she'd heard anything about there being any sort of negative information regarding Trump contained in the Mueller Report.

Corporate Shareholders EMBODY American capitalism as we knew it.

Fixed that for you.

This is the way the system is designed to work. This was always the goal. It's not dysfunctional. It was clearly forseeable. The system works perfectly.

Great. Than Trump has continued the greatness that Reagan started.

How did Alan Dershowitz fall so far? Sad.

I asked my dad who used to love Dershowitz that and his response (which was vague until I thought about it) was "Dershowitz always did like to hear himself speak about anything!".

That got me thinking that perhaps his ego is what is driving his ridiculous takes these days. When was the last time the guy was relevant on a national scale? Kind of hard to pontificate and go on Kepler like rants without a forum. He was fading away into obscurity until a big walking crime with a combover became President. They asked him, he gave a weird opinion and things changed. Now every pundit and media personality from all the networks and some newspapers/blogs call him all the time and let him marvel at the sound of his own voice because he has no problem selling out everything he used to hold dear to stand in the spotlight again.

Random question, is there anyone who feels good about the stock market right now?

JFK, Reagan, Dubya, and Dump are heroes of the .01%. They transformed FDR's strong, unified nation into a weak feudal system of a few thousands manors owning 300 million serfs.

The plantation masters never dreamed of enslavement on this scale.

The only possible "goodness" is that it's so detached from the real economy that it might just retain its numbers (and my 401(k) value) even as the true Main Street economy is hollowed out, towed out into the ocean, and sunk as garbage.

We could be headed for our first Great Depression in which stocks all hold their value. Actually, we could be in the midst of one.

I thought Dershowitz was a Fox fixture long before Dump? I think he's always just liked to bloviate.

Just like the Dubya Bailout...the banks didnt use the TARP money to start loaning out money again, they sat on it so their balance sheets looked better and then gave all their top brass bonuses based on better numbers.

The stock buy back was the most predictable thing in the world. Pretty much every Democrat said that is exactly what will happen. Every conservative (even around here) tried to pretend it wasnt true but of course it is.

The Dump tax cut did exactly what it was designed to do, just like Reagan's and Dubya's.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-richest-10-of-households-now-represent-70-of-all-us-wealth-2019-05-24

the richest 10% of U.S. households representing 70% of all U.S. wealth in 2018, compared with 60% in 1989, according to a recent study by researchers at the Federal Reserve.

The study finds that the share of wealth among the richest 1% increased to 32% from 23% over the same period.
To make a finer point, Fed researchers say the increase in wealth among the top 10% is largely a result of that cohort obtaining a larger concentration of assets: “The share of assets held by the top 10% of the wealth distribution rose from 55% to 64% since 1989, with asset shares increasing the most for the top 1% of households. These increases were mirrored by decreases for households in the 50-90th percentiles of the wealth distribution,” Fed researchers said.

He probably was but that is nothing. That is like when former great baseball players have a 5 minute segment on local radio. The second he started defending Trump he was everywhere. The only person interviewed more on the main networks is probably Giuliani or Sanders. And unlike before, the crazier his opinion the MORE the people outside of Faux want him on their show.

If he was real smart he would rip Clinton harder the NYTimes would probably give him a column

Before each of the three heists, economists and other experts predicted everything that would happen: massive deficits, no reinvestment, no material improvement for the middle class or poor, lethal spurts of wealth inequality. Each time all that happened. With the latter cases, economists could point to the prior heists as empirical proof.

Yet it never matters: people keep falling for it. It's an amazing example of mass ideological myopia. And it's not abstract; it has actually ruined the lives of the people who have voted R far more than those who have voted D. We have the education and skills to survive. They don't, so they perish. And yet they keep on pulling the lever on the slot machine, hoping this time will be the one. And when it doesn't they blame liberals, blacks, women, and immigrants.

Remarkable.
