years and they'll finally get a extra few crumbs from the pie that has been growing for 40 years without them getting anything more than the same sized slice they started out with. And the GOP will be like .It must be Trump. Vote for him. When they controlled the taps the whole time.

1. I believe that the one percent can be accurately depicted as the fictional Charles Montgomery Burns

Given the choice of raising worker salaries or doubling down on more police, denial of civil liberties and manipulation of public opinion they will always choose the latter. Their goal is to see America divided into guilded enclaves and shantytowns.

2. Yes, but if faced with a Democratic wipe out in the Senate and house

as well as the presidency, said right wing oligarchs will turn up the taps and allow a bit to go to the Midwest and other white people in the form of a tiny increase in wages.

3. I'm sure we will see some more bones thrown to select groups

as with the farming sector. I've lost the ability to fathom the lengths to which they will go to exert control.

4. Id take that bet

Terms? to the charity of the others choosing?

They cant help themselves. That would be the smart play, but they wont be able to bring themselves to do it.

5. I suspect that you are partially correct

And you will see gas prices drop close to the election.

6. The greed is too strong

Never enough blinds many strategic options

7. No, but you can count on a lower/middle class "tax cut"...

A few months prior to the election that will be clawed back the following April 15th.

It's a scam the rubes of America have already fallen head-over-heels for. Twice.

8. Most employers ain't giving nothing wsay for any reason. Record profits at my company and only

the higher up's got the promotions.

9. I agree with your base hypothesis but not this predication

YES - big business absolutely suppresses the economy as much as it can tolerate when there is a D, and over extends to prop up Rs.

BUT, they are NOT going to pass anything along to the average person, that is core scorpion and frog stuff there, they just can't do it.

They WILL to prop up 45 as best they can.

Just have to hope the house of cards folds in BEFORE November of 2020, cause it is long overdue now, and if it happens, god willing he loses, after he loses, the Rs and media will be more than happy to pin it all on the evil liberals.
