Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, April 02, 2025

We have the world's richest billionaires, who pay only a tiny fraction of their income in taxes compared to cops and bus drivers.

Our middle class, meanwhile, has collapsed from being two-thirds of us in 1980 to fewer than 45 percent of us today as Reaganomics (which is still in effect) has transferred over $50 trillion in wealth from working class people into the money bins of the top one percent.

" Three men own more wealth than the bottom 170 million Americans, and those three men stood with Trump at his inauguration.

" Corporations screw their customers with impunity as fossil fuel company CEOs toast each other with champagne while communities are destroyed by the extreme weather their products are causing.

" Politicians are on the take and that has paralyzed our politics; Citizens United was sanctioned by five Republicans on the Supreme Court who, themselves, had benefited from the largess of America's billionaires.

Yeah, it was Reaganomics and not your demand for a flood of illegal immigration to suppress wages for the working class Americans.

We have needed more workers, not less, over the last years, and the FACT is that immigrants of all sorts have long been a Net Positive for the economy.

And they commit far less crimes per capita than do citizens.

So, I know you are scared shi... witless by rwing propaganda paid for by billionaire corporations, but do try to hold it while the rest of us clean up Trump's Recession.

No, we didn't. High labor costs leads to automation and innovation. If it was the other way around, India and Africa would be powerhouses.

"And they commit far less crimes per capita than do citizens."

LEGAL immigrants - yes. You flood of illegals? - NO!

You are crying about something that is not even happening. I just posted the article - March private sector payrolls continue to expand. February revised up.

It's amazing to me how much a sizable section of the left absolutely loves illegal immigration and wields all of its powers to protect and expand it.

Killing Americans just wouldn't do.

Legal immigration is wonderful I can atest. But Biden's border was a disaster.

People here supporting it should be taken to the woodshed.

It ain't "the left" relying on illegals to work in their meat packing plants and farms, Einstein.

It's amazing that you're this stupid. Farm country loves the Undocumented immigrants and they're not liberal leftist by and large. LOVES them. But do carry on with your balderdash Jeff. It suits you.

That's just you repeating Rwing Myth, Scooter.

The stats are for ALL immigrants, legal or otherwise. They have always been an economic net positive, and they commit less crimes.

- something that is not even happening.

Really? Perhaps you need to read some market news today.
