Best Jobs Numbers in the history of our great Country! Many other things likewise. So why wouldn’t we win the Midterms? Dems can never do even nearly as well! Think of what will happen to your now beautiful 401-k’s!

5. Doesn't he know most people don't have 401K's

More than half of the working population doesn't have any meaningful 401K savings. Truth is even in the other half, many are in debt TO their 401k.

10. As an old construction worker, I know no one who has a 401K.

Or stock. Or options.
There are millions that live on the bottom.
I know many. Yet most of the poor folks I know are happy.
A few beers, a few tokes, a little music. Poor people are tough.

13. +1.

17. More than 50%

One of the major myths of the US is that the majority are somehow "well off". They aren't. More than half of the US population have little to no savings and are poorly positioned for anything looking like retirement. It isn't really well understood because the boomers are still retiring with pension plans, although not nearly all of them. SS and medicare is taking care of many as well. But if you look at the population between about 40 and 55, it's a looming disaster. Two major economic down turns in the last 20 years have resulted in a population whose 401K's became bailout funds for unemployment. Unemployment also took away years of contributions and matching.

And don't get me started on the millennials who are so in debt over education, that many will be paying those off instead of making 401k contributions. No small number will reach retirement age with education debt still to be paid.

The middle class has been dismantled and it is only getting worse. The collapse of any defined benefit pension system, in conjunction with the destruction of what pension plans there were through bankruptcy will cause the rise of the "elderly poor" again.

Everything that spews out of his mouth is bullshit.

11. It may surprise you to know that not everyone is a selfish asshole, and some would rather sacrifice

a little personal gain for the good of the country...knowing that when the country prospers in freedom, tolerance and empathy, that we all are better off.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. who forgot to change his diaper?

I know it's not MY job. 'Fess up, who was supposed to change Daddy's Boy Donnie's diaper today?

[peekaloo]

20. His best ideas come from a full load.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. you made my day

[moondust]

14. Isn't this why

corporations converted so many defined pensions into 401Ks? To force working people and their retirement funds to support the stock market?

[BlueStater]

15. His vocabulary is just infuriatingly bad.

He talks like some shitty lounge singer from Vegas.

[uponit7771]

[LakeSuperiorView]

23. You are being unfair to shitty Vegas lounge lizards...

#shittyVegasloungesingersrmatter

[treestar]

16. Because you are such a vulgar

And wicked being, and that takes precedence over a stock market that you get no credit for.

[uponit7771]

18. Isn't it only 30% of Americans who are working have 401 K's?
