Have you see the numbers on Unemployment, especially black unemployment?

  • The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 6.8 percent unemployment rate for black workers in December, the lowest in the 45 years the data has been tracked.
  • Unemployment overall was 4.1 percent.
  • Thousands of American workers are receiving $1000+ bonuses from their companies
  • Manufacturing in the US is the highest since 2004

High taxes on businesses strangle their growth.  Our companies are starting to come home.  Apple is coming home thousands of new jobs.

Taxing our businesses to fund the government programs is a form of imprisonment.  Put the money back in the economy and everyone benefits.

No matter what the truth is about our world, it is how we feel about it that counts, for no one can tell you what is right or wrong about how you feel.  It comes from the heart.

Watching from up here in the great white north, I'm not so sure you are over-dramatizing. I'm just astounded that the citizens are still letting him do it - most of the shenanigans right up front. Might as well have his middle finger constantly in the air on public view.

I, for one, feel like you - cheer for the underdog.

I hope it gets better, and not worse for us.

Oh, yes, Trump is definitely anti-underdog. It's going to feel like a long time with him in office.
