Meanwhile media "leaders " keep talking like they matter

When did which president of what said
"growing lower class lazy."
your video or audio link is where ?
in the negative space in those willing to strive will make it
that just isn't the case
I heard Israel Palestine talks peace talks were to be in secret
how does that make sense ?
ANYTHING that facilitates peace makes sense.
communication brings peace not sequestered leaders making private deals
"There are a lot of folks who are still struggling out here, too many people in poverty. Here in America, we’ve never guaranteed success -- that's not what we do. More than some other countries, we expect people to be self-reliant. Nobody is going to do something for you. (Applause.) We've tolerated a little more inequality for the sake of a more dynamic, more adaptable economy. That's all for the good. But that idea has always been combined with a commitment to equality of opportunity to upward mobility -- the idea that no matter how poor you started, if you're willing to work hard and discipline yourself and defer gratification, you can make it, too. That's the American idea. (Applause.)"
"In the period after World War II, a growing middle class was the engine of our prosperity. Whether you owned a company, or swept its floors, or worked anywhere in between, this country offered you a basic bargain -- a sense that your hard work would be rewarded with fair wages and decent benefits, the chance to buy a home, to save for retirement, and most of all, a chance to hand down a better life for your kids. But over time, that engine began to stall -- and a lot of folks here saw it -- that bargain began to fray. Technology made some jobs obsolete. Global competition sent a lot of jobs overseas. It became harder for unions to fight for the middle class. Washington doled out bigger tax cuts to the very wealthy and smaller minimum wage increases for the working poor. And so what happened was that the link between higher productivity and people’s wages and salaries was broken. It used to be that, as companies did better, as profits went higher, workers also got a better deal. And that started changing. So the income of the top 1 percent nearly quadrupled from 1979 to 2007, but the typical family’s incomes barely budged. And towards the end of those three decades, a housing bubble, credit cards, a churning financial sector was keeping the economy artificially juiced up, so sometimes it papered over some of these long-term trends. But by the time I took office in 2009 as your President, we all know the bubble had burst, and it cost millions of Americans their jobs, and their homes, and their savings. And I know a lot of folks in this area were hurt pretty bad. And the decades-long erosion that had been taking place -- the erosion of middle-class security -- was suddenly laid bare for everybody to see."
When did you decide to become a liar Matt? or have you always been one?
If you want something you can bitch about without lying here:

it's been about who owns what for a while now, pale face
and language does matter "dead beat"
even the tense of language matters like when someone says it was once this way and someone else picks out words to make them sound as if they are saying that's how it is, thus telling a dirty lie, even more than language the truth matters...
the president believes people are dead beats
or reads his speech from writers
paid for by the bank
Well, the president was spot on with a few exceptions.
"a sense that your hard work would be rewarded with fair wages and decent benefits"
There weren't any benefits following WWII, I wouldn't call none "decent".
"but the typical family’s incomes barely budged."
This isn't true in the least. Incomes and living standards have clearly skyrocketed since 1979. The issue is wealth inequality, not incomes.
The president also failed to mention that taxing the middle class 15.3% to give money to the poor, who spend it into the pockets of the rich, is the biggest factor destroying the middle class today. We need to adopt the Ryan Plan and remove the income caps on taxes paid in.
The only time "real wages" adjusted for inflation has gone up since 1979 is in the late 90's Clinton brought that about with his 1993 tax increase. Since Reagan took office in 1981 and busted the unions almost all GDP growth in the US has gone to those in the top 1% of wealth holders which has resulted in America being the most class fixed of all the NATO nations, yes that's right if you are born working class you have a better chance of making it to the middle or higher in every other NATO nation, yet we still carry the bruit of the defense budget for all of them, that's what's choking the middle class to death.
The Ryan plan? I don't want to live in an underwater city.
yea, so?
no one wants to talk about real economics
whoever, whatever your lord is couldn't give a fuck if you ever made fortunes.
O bomb them
called those that can't pay their debts
"Dead Beats" today
