Overall, I remain of the opinion that the deck is stacked against generations behind us.
While the Orwellian talkers on television tout the unemployment rate, nobody ever talks about what kind of jobs those are and if there are healthcare benefits. Then they talk about the wonders of corporate tax cuts — which corps are using a large percentage of for stock buybacks. Thus, the market.
We are being had. And it has been oh soooo easy.

My dear. You just used three in your defense of not agreeing with broad brush generalizations.
The tax cuts were to level the playing field and make U.S. Corporations equal to their global competition, in part. U.S. Corporations, "big business" is often spoken about as the devil incarnate, and usually by the segment of the population who did not ever work for private enterprise.
There are all kinds of factors at play in this kind of discussion. All kinds of biases and attitudes. I have yet to meet a person who has been a teacher in public schools for more than ten years who EVER sided with big business. I have yet to meet anyone who has earned a good living working for big business who didn't support the tax cuts.
