An economy that’s strong for the few at the expense of the many isn’t strong; it’s rigged. Until the system is fundamentally challenged then no matter which party is in charge the people will continue to lose. “Better jobs for the American people” is just code for “crumbs.” 3/3

You need to start asking where people's money is going before you assume 60% of the population are being disenfranchised by capitalism. You sound ridiculous. I come from a family that chooses to live in poverty while I don't. You have no idea what your talking about.
