    Yeah, stocks are high but it is mostly the rich who benefit from stocks. The middle class has seen wage gains of 2.9% and inflation of 2.9%.

    Where do those that are upset over American prosperity go to get their "America sux" talking points?

    The reduction in federal tax receipts could have been designed to benefit whatever class of people that Trump and the Republicans thought were important. The fact that the benefits were overwhelmingly designed to go to the rich at the obvious cost to the deficit was no accident.

    Usually from facts which you clearly haven't grasped. There is no Trump American prosperity increase except at the top of the incone/ wealth scale.

    And America " sux" is just your ignorant misstatement of the rational concern the more educated have about the ever escalating wealth inequality in America.

    Well feel free to post the charts to prove us wrong. Since you obviously can't I think who is factually ignorant here has been sufficiently exposed.

    Always amazing how Trump supporters collapse when facts and evidence is requested. Confirms the polls that show the education level of the average Trump Tout.

    Sure except of course you can't point to any actual data to confirm that silliness. You know like charts or data which have already been posted showing that The Trump economy is actually just a continuation of what Obama created. But go ahead and post your charts if you can.

    Strange all the Trump supporters who believe things without any actual evidence.

    Unfair to ask the intellectually unarmed to actually use facts. Be nice and just accept that the Trump supporters have to make stuff up because the can't find any facts. They are Trump supporters after all.

    Heh... the irony in your own post is hilarious.

    And don't try to call me a "tRUMPer", as you put it. I did not vote for him nor am I fan.

    No matter what taxes the rich pay, it will never be enough. If you do't pay taxes, there is no way your taxes can be reduced. You are not talking about tax reduction, you are talking about welfare. I am in favor of welfare for the truly needy. I am not in favor of income redistribution just because someone else makes more money than I do.

    Working age employment is at an all time high.

    The economy is improving greatly.

    So, why do you need a chart?
    Here are several

    You call 2.9% wage growth and 2.9% inflation "prosperity"? For real everyday Americans, the prosperity never really trickled down to them.

    Oh no, I have heard no one complaining about the economy.
    It's been 9 yrs of an improving economy. Coming out of the great recession.
    It's why I said, there was a tripling of the stock market, 75 consecutive months of pvt sector job growth and unemployment under 5%. Remarkable turn around that was.
    And it continues it's upward trend still 1.5 yrs later, after the 2017 inauguration.

    The only whiners I am witnessing is the RWers thinking this just started 1.5 yrs ago. But it's RWers so, it's understandable.

    You haven't been listening.

    Stage 1 of TDS was to deny the economy was improving and wine that Americas economy was going down the tubes. Basically TDS sufferers were channeling Paul Krugman from the Morning Joke show.

    Stage 2 of TDS started when Obama ran out and tried to take credit for the Tax Cuts and Trump's deregulation, and the sheep follow suit.

    Stage left, the economy has been moving up since 2009, unabated, pretty much.
    I have seen NO ONE deny that.

    Guess there isn't a Trump supporter on this forum smart enough to understand what an economic chart actually is. But thanks for trying.

    Economic charts only show the "what is". They do not show "why". The "why" is as important or more important than the "what is" because it provides an indication of where we are going.

    Funny how when we got news of this kind during the Obama years it was viewed as bad news by the far right.

    Prosperity does what it always does under Republicans, it trickles or perhaps floods upward.

    Quote: Working age employment is at an all time high

    Wrong again!

    Your video clearly stated; "More working age Americans are entering the workforce", however, the employment to population ratio ISN'T at an all time high.....

    Today's employment to population ratio; 60.3%

    April 2000 employment to population ratio; 64.4%

    A huge/significant difference of 4%

    ADHD?????

    There's a difference in working age employment and total population.

    Counting infants and retirees is silly.
