    And her correction wasn't even clear. She made it seem that the new tax bill put in the limit on deductible teacher expenses.

    So not only are they still trying to keep workers they are actually planning on paying some that are impacted. But again, why would you care about doing research as long as it fits your narrative. I don't have the time to research all the layoffs but I'm sure this is not the only one structured as the Dallas office. Pathetic.

    That has more to do with people dropping satellite than anything else. Dish Network is in the same boat.

    So conservatives were in power this whole time? But I know you won't respond because all you can do is parrot LOLGOP thoughts.

    hmmmmm



    Let's look here.

    In 1979, the lower-middle and poor made up 23% of people. That number has since shrunk to 12%!

    Meanwhile, the middle, upper-middle, and rich has grown from 76.4% in 1979 to 89% today.

    I know math is hard... but I'm seeing more people in the middle class, and less people in the poor. It just so happens we're graduating more and more people above than below.

    For one that doesn't understand math, I add middle class

    gray 30+46+16= 92
    blue 52+26+8 = 86

    curious to read the accompanying article.
    With like I always say Grasshopper, context
    Is there a link ?
    ..........

    also read the rich =
    .4 in the gray
    11 in the blue

    ..................

    help me again, perhaps I am reading this wrong,

    the middle, lower middle not even counting the poor are (-) 28
    the upper middle and rich have gained (+) 29
    .............

    without context , on its face, your graph shows a gigantic upward redistribution of wealth.
    See if you can find the link. Be curious to see the explanation that supports what I assume to be your claim

    I'm really not sure what to tell you if you interpret those numbers anyway but positive.

    There are far less poor and lower middle class. There are far more upper middle and rich. This means in aggregate, people's lives are substantially better. Please tell you me understand that and are comprehending that.

    positive if you occupy 2 of the 5 categories.

    This article linked inside of the original CNN Money
    http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/09/news...-class/?iid=EL

    Is there an article explaining the Urban Institure graph, because guessing here it has a far different explanation than you assume

    57 is stupid. I don't even think he passed the 8th grade. So this is not unusual. He is a LIV you know, right?

    57, what do you believe is the healthier situation. The graph from 1979 or the graph from 2014?

    Just answer that and we'll go from there

    his addle mind can't comprehend common sense.

    I fully understood what you post, but I am not a partisan hack like he is so I see the whole picture and not the Liberal slanted version.

    I'm legit concerned that people like him want to be involved in fiscal policy.

    This reminds me when goldy said the stock run up since election looked like normal to him

    Just remember that he is stupid and he is fed by partisan hacks that know he is dumb enough to do as they say, sheople as you will. That is how I view him. He's a moron. Plain and simple.

    All he is told in his echo chamber is that people with money are bad. What do you expect?
