[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should just ask.........

“Wouldn’t you want the government to take better care of you so you don’t have to worry about taking care of yourself?"[/quote]

+1.  Indeed.  Wouldn't you want to not be a republican so you're not putting in power the wealthy business owners who profit from your apparent ignorance and blind allegiance?  Wouldn't you want to be a socialist?  I'm not from the US and I have to give the GOP a slow clap every time I think of what they've pulled off in the last 35 years.[/quote]

Donald Trump is a wealthy business owner who has created tens of thousands of jobs.   When he profits, so do the people who work for him.   In a capitalist society, you can't hate companies but want jobs.

Blue collar workers for the most part do not want handouts, they want jobs.    That is why they buy into Trump's message.   They do not view themselves as poor, but rather displaced due to bad trade deals and unfair global competition.  Many, believe it or not, have the old fashion view that government handouts are charity and it embarrasses them.   They want good jobs.   Hillary has never created one, other than for attorneys representing her.[/quote]

You do know that this concept of trickle down economics, from Ronald Reagan, didn't and doesn't work. The wealthy save, they don't necessarily spend. All wealthy aren't the Kardashians they don't slap on Gucci every day to parade around the press.  No one wants a hand out, most people would prefer to work and get what they need. Donald Trump is not going to pass legislation to help you get a job he is going to pass legislation to help him and all who agree with him (the wealthy)[/quote]

So renegotiating trade agreements, deporting illegals holding U.S. jobs, and preventing further illegal immigration is "trickle down economics"?[/quote]
