I guess a lot of people hated trumps speech yesterday. They've been comparing him to Hitler, complaining how he continues to spill retoric like he's campaigning.
The American people elect the black sheep and can't understand that he is not like the others. He will not act, say, or do things like those before him. Maybe it's just the blind dems who can't see this.
Maybe it's me who doesn't understand.

I've been hearing a lot about how divisive it was as well.
I watched it live, and I did not get that vibe at all. I don't really understand what there was to be mad about.

how exactly could you even begin to compare Trump to Hitler? Obama's rhetoric and actually actions as president are much more similar. But then again, no one really excepts a liberal to understand simple things.

I's because he wants to hand the power back over to the people. and the people that got him in office are hardworking Americans that don't like footing the bill for lazy ********. So the lazy ******** are crying, it's very easy to understand why people are upset if you just pretend you're an 18yo who's parents just told you they are going to stop giving you an allowance and you're going to have to pay rent if you want to continue to live there unless you start to contribute to the household in other ways (like chores, etc).

Hell, Bearnie Sanders ran as a "democratic" socialist. All you need to know is that **** stands for National-Socialist German Workers' Party...

and remember, it was Obama who brought out this sort of decisiveness and violence, not Trump. Trump is just opposed to it.

these criminals, that Obama propped up, is exactly why American NEEDS Trump. someone needs to be a mother to these children.

Sounds like lots of folks confuse anarchists for liberals. This seems timely.

Depends on how you think income inequality/disparity factors into 'national prosperity'.

This is why I tend to take all data pertaining to things like unemployment, labor-force participation, etc., with a grain of salt. GDP per capita is really the only unambiguous measure of national prosperity which cannot be manipulated by changing the way you define certain words.

It's also tempting to assume that income-inequality is the product of some institutional pressure, as opposed to merely reflecting a gradual shift in work ethic as a byproduct of social / familial upbringing.

I've not been able to find any infographic-friendly data sources which break down GDP into an income-inequality-exposing form.

If it was the product of work ethic, then most new immigrant families would be loaded.
