According to every person who strongly dislikes Trump (see, I didn't say HATE), everything he has done as president has been wrong. Tax cuts were wrong, cutting regulations was wrong, building a border wall and clamping down on illegal immigration was wrong, foreign policy has been wrong... pretty much every action and every word from his mouth has been wrong.
Yet here we are, the lowest unemployment in decades, record stock market, rising wages, no new wars, and lots of Trump skeptics converted. So my question is this, what policy changes would your ideal president implement that would help the poor and middle class without tanking the economy? I watch and read a lot of left wing "experts" who daily bash Trump's policies yet I rarely ever hear what the better policy would be. They will say things like "we need to raise wages so that all Americans can prosper"... yet they never say how that would be accomplished other than raising taxes and not talking about the negative consequences. They also say that we need to convert to clean energy and eliminate fossil fuels, but never give details about how the average American would fare if cheaper fuel was phased out by government regulation. So many wants and promises and so few answers and details.
So please, give me examples of the better way... especially when it comes to growing the economy which is the one and only way to get any of the long wish lists accomplished.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

And THAT is why I did not watch the debates.....no one, either side can do what you asked.
When the 1 percent benefit by 25 percent last year and the rest of us are just paltry pheasants.
we have a lack of equality that is obscene.
The Fourth Turning is at play....and it will not be pretty nor pleasant.
The Left thinks if it keeps repeating that the economy sucks, people will believe it, but one of the reasons for higher home prices? People are earning more money and can afford to buy bigger and better homes. Luxury building is rising. Wages are rising, and unemployment is enough of a problem that we are seeing increasing poaching of employees in my industry. If you have the skills, you can write your own ticket. I know a kid graduating CU in May. He got a job from Google during the fall semester, they already increased his pay by 6% and he hasn't worked a day for the company. This kid isn't a one percenter. Solid lower middle class background.

Ok HA,so what are you asking for? If you can't name one person who has the answers you agree with, then tell me what your answers to inequality are and how those answers wouldn't have negative consequences to the economy. I don't think you have any answers but you could always surprise me.
