    I think it would be a good idea if the people who don't have jobs had the option of making watches or clothing. Paying one or two dollars per hour means that job has been outsourced.

    Who is the "we" you're talking about? American capitalists have done extremely well, the workers not sp good. Since we know the government is run by rich people, largely for their personal benefit, we shouldn't be surprised by the graph below.

    Based on the above, I don't think you have any idea how to fix the problem.

    Trump knew exactly what he was doing by his tax cut the way he did.

    Agreed. The bulk of the tax cuts went to the rich...he threw a few crumbs to everyone else to buy their support.

    Not true, 50% of workers saw no tax cut under Tramp and many Republican workers in blue states saw an increase in their taxes.

    Which Americans saw higher taxes? And does that mean that only 50% were paying higher taxes under Obama?

    No it means LESS than 50% were paying higher taxes under the Great Obama.
