Yet you don’t criticize the woman whose career and wealth is based on years of lies claiming to be Native American. Now that’s gold!
Wow! I thought Hillary was a bad candidate but Pocahontas is a new level of awful!

Divide by two? The "wealthy families" are equal in number to the "middle class people"? Seems like a misleading assumption.
Also, can you explain how the middle class are paying more under the changes. I'll hang up and listen.
Well, according to the Federal Bureau of Labor in 2016, unemployment and other economic figures were pretty good. The biggest problem with the economy under Obama was the record number of people on welfare despite low unemployment, which strongly suggests most jobs created were not good paying jobs. Regardless, your claim of failure and stagnation don't line up with the facts, as the Obama economy exceeded the numbers Romney campaigned on.
Trump gave the markets a sugar rush with corporate handouts and hand jobs that have boosted it in the short term. How long that will last is anyone's guess. Regardless, Trump, like any POTUS, is given way too much credit for an economy that began taking off before he took office.
Also, and again, unemployment isn't the issue. Quality jobs for minorities and dependence on government is, which admittedly is a problem neither party has solved.
Regardless, the greater point is your dick riding of Trump like he is some sort of economic messiah is laughable. Lol. He isn't.
Have you looked at what your effective federal tax rate is?
Do you actually add up what you pay in FICA and income taxes and measured that as a percentage of your income to see how your taxes have varied year to year?
What do you have going on in life that she doesn't have? You are a multi handle troll on the internet. She drug herself up from poverty to be a professor at Harvard, and then a member of the US Senate. 99.99 percent chance that she's got a lot more going for her than you do. But, by all means, marginalize her, then push away from the keyboard and spank yourself blind.
It's a mixed bag. Some people I've talked to have gotten screwed by the Trump tax plan. Others have made out well. Admittedly, I'm one of them.
My point was averages can be misleading. Suppose I got 10,000 more in tax relief this year and someone else paid in 4,000 more. So, if you added up what I got with the other guy we'd be sitting at 6,000. So, the average tax relief was $3,000 dollars between the two of us. However, what's the truth? I got 10,000 and he got shit and had to pay in 4,000 more than the year before. Very misleading.
Thanks for clarifying that you have no idea what you're talking about. Is this really the argument that you're making to prove your point: "some people I've talked to have gotten screwed by the Trump tax plan."
I'm under his skin. He's trying to cope, but it's tough. I'm here for you, bro.
It is an amazing story.
"In the early 1990s, HLS was a hotbed of left-wing agitation. I was there and remember well the explosive protests and sit-ins that erupted over a lack of diversity on the faculty. In April 1992, scores of protestors demonstrated outside Dean Robert Clark’s office, some of them wearing masks of Clark’s face. Nine students (my closest friend among them) refused to leave the Dean’s office for over 25 hours. Their specific demand? That the administration hire a faculty member who was a “woman of color.”
After the protest broke up, Dean Clark filed disciplinary charges against the disruptive students. But the administrative hearing to determine the fate of the “Griswold 9,” as they came to call themselves, turned into a circus. Jesse Jackson issued a plea for leniency, and hundreds of spectators filled the hearing room to watch students turn the tables on Dean Clark and effectively put Harvard on trial for discrimination.
It was against this backdrop of race and gender activism that Elizabeth Warren arrived in Cambridge. Then a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, she came to Harvard as a visiting professor (that is, on a trial basis). During this time, Warren categorized herself as Native American and was deemed a minority in a professional directory used by law schools for recruiting purposes. Warren says she classified herself this way to meet other Native Americans. That may be true; it must also have had the effect of catching the attention of hiring committees at prestigious law schools.
Once at Harvard, Warren quickly developed a reputation as an engaging and committed teacher. Students of all political stripes flocked to her classes. I was one of them. She was, I can attest, an excellent professor.
It is not difficult to imagine that the members of the hiring committee might have thought Warren would help with their public relations problem—or at least buy them some time.
The Boston Globe reports that Warren’s claim to Native American heritage never came up in faculty deliberations. But, of course, it didn’t have to. At that point, her purported ethnicity was a matter of record.
It is unusual for Harvard to make offers of tenure to professors who attended and began their academic careers at Rutgers. To be sure, Warren had worked her way up to a tenured position at Penn, another Ivy League school. And there is no question that she was a much-loved teacher. But in that highly-charged political climate, being Native American could only have helped.
One thing is certain: Once Warren joined the faculty, Harvard touted her minority status in order to burnish its diversity credentials, listing Warren as a minority in internal documents and compliance reports and telling the Harvard Crimson that the law school had a Native American female on the faculty."
Maybe I’ll categorize myself as a female Native American and cheat the system, get special treatment, special jobs, etc.
Lol, not this much. You don't think he's a creep? Much better candidates out there.
I hope he wins the nomination just for the great meme war of 2020
Why do you forget where Obama's Economy started? It sure wasn’t anything like what Trump was handed
She is a Senator because she thought she was a Native American because that is what her family told her?
If she hadn't cheated to kick off her career, the course of her life likely would not have resulted in being a Senator.
My mistake. I thought she was the one who claimed to have Native American heritage.
LOL. Just posting at your trumpbagger level. If I posted anything better, trumpbaggers wouldn't be able to understand.
LOL. Sorry to report this to you, but trumps tweets are all bullshit, not that it matters to you.
To be fair, Joe's hands are way too high for him appreciate. He just prefers dudes who just grab 'em by the pussy instead.
Teddy Roosevelt once said, "If you've got them by the balls... If you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."
In today's snowflake culture, shirley, you'd want him impeached.
