In reply to the discussion: One of America's greatest problems summarized in a chart [View all]True Dough
(24,666 posts)17. This subject matter SHOULD be irrefutable
It's extremely difficult to converse with Republicans and find common ground, but if you raise this issue and say, "See, we're all worse off over the past four decades except for the ultra-wealthy. We have to do something about that and put more money back in the hands of the average American."
Of course things are likely to devolve into, "Your side is responsible for getting us here." But if we can avoid arguing over who's to blame and just agree that the rich have been robbing from the lower and middle classes, at least we have that much in common with the other side.
