We're overworked, underpaid and without power; thanks capitalism!

Are you referring to illegal aliens?  They risk because the poorest conditions in America are better than where they're from.  But of course, you knew that.  It now appears that Bernie is ahead of Hillary.  That means millions of leftists are part of the revolution that is aimed at the destruction of the "free" capitalism which has destroyed our middle class.  But of course, you knew that too.  

Q:  Why don't you and the minority of Americans who constitute advocacy of the trickle down bullshit leave?  Do you actually like the system in which 1/10th of 1% is earning some 90% of economic growth?

Please show us your link to a reliable source (unlike Alternet or The Nation) for that information.

Also, as you know, the polices you seek have been being instituted by Lame Duck President Obama since the day he took office.  Tell us, how has that worked out?  The Middle Class has almost been eliminated under his watch and the very rich, have become even richer.

At the same time, more people living the poverty level, more on food stamps and any of the other 60 or so government programs to help the under privileged.

The sources you disapprove of are accurate.  And I believe 100% in Bernie who claims the same statistics every day during his campaigning.  You choose to believe Breitbart.

Once again, the source of information is meaningless in judging the efficacy of the data.  Show me where the top 1% are making less than Alternet or Daily Kos claims!

The vast, vast majority of people, as you well know, are paid precisely what they are worth.  That's why I opted to be self employed and work on commission most all of my life.

As for being overworked, I've never felt "overworked" although again, the vast majority of my life I have happily worked far more than 40 hours a week and a minimum of three jobs at a time.  All related.  That resulted in incomes well into six figures for most of my life.

If someone demands a 40 hour week and whines that they can't afford a nice car or house or a wife, that's a personal decision.

Yeah, sure.  Maybe we can all get jobs selling real estate for big bucks.  But what if you're a retired soldier and the only jobs you can find pay $10 to $12 an hour.  And you have three kids, and your wife works at Subway, and it's more than hard to keep up with the mortgage and fuel bills ... too bad shithead.   You should just be like Markle ...

The vast majority of people who go into real estate, are failures, they do not make big bucks.

Sounds like personal responsibility doesn't it?  If he's a veteran, he can get an education or learn a high paying trade.  His wife could have been doing the same, nights and evenings.

It doesn't matter what you earn if your COST OF LIVING eats it up, DUMBASS.

How were you overworked and underpaid.  You made the choice to take that job.

You were/are paid precisely what you work is worth.  Just as a brain surgeon, Peyton Manning or your local history teacher is paid exactly what their work is worth in the market place.

Lol... shall we call that "standard of living"? Or is there another invented leftist term that allows you to ignore facts?

Fact:  Even having completed a college education, thousands of graduates find themselves struggling to raise a family with two underpaid jobs.  The economy is rigged against the average American, and America knows it.  

Down with Amerika Inc.!  Corporate control of our government through corrupt campaign financing.   Go Bernie, Go!!

Thank you!  Quite true in all respects.  And the result of Lame Duck President Obama having been in office the past seven years.

The conservative answers are:  Lower the minimum wage.  Get rid of Obamacare.  Eliminate taxes on the ultra rich and big corporations.  End legalized abortion.  Increase military spending.  Push fracking and the Keystone pipeline.  Get rid of environmental regulations.  Put prayer back in schools.  Eliminate over the counter female contraceptive devices. Etc. Etc.

You have to be kidding!
