Hidden Agenda Perpetrated By Congress & The Fed Exposed In One Simple Chart

This chart explains the rise of Trump. The middle class is tired of getting fucked over by the establishment, The Fed, Wall Street, mega-corporations, and corrupt captured career politicians.

Submitted by Thad Beversdorf via FirstRebuttal.com,

I like to say policy objectives are invisible ink and policy results are the coloured glasses that expose them.  You see, policy makers always tell us how they design and implement policies targeted at middle class America.  However, time after time after time, the only segment of society that fails to realize any benefit from any policy is middle class America.  Yet for some mind boggling reason we continue to allow these policy makers to carry on with this skullduggery.  The following chart really tells you everything you need to know about economic policy objectives for the past three decades.

The above chart depicts Wall Street real profits (black line), non-financial corporate real profits (red line) and real median weekly wages and salaries (blue line) all indexed back to 1982 (this is an important period where antitrust policies broke down under the Reagan admin).

What we find is that while median wages and salaries have increased by a paltry 9% over the past 35 years, corporate income is up 250% and Wall Street income is up almost 800%.   And so over the decades this story line about policies targeting the middle class is absolutely, in every way, a total and complete fabrication.  This chart doesn’t happen by accident nor could it be the result of honest mistakes.

The above results expose the hidden agenda perpetrated by Congress and the Fed.

The American middle class is a patsy in a system designed to do exactly what it has done.  

International trade agreements and excessive money printing do help Wall Street and Corporate America but do not help the middle class.  This is made absolutely clear in the above chart.  And if you are one of those typically shallow regurgitators of the theories you’ve been told, well tell it to the facts above.

Except, the middle class, female, Registered Democrat will just pull the Democrat lever. I’ve had conversations with them and it is an alt-universe.

Until I personally experienced this myself, I now agree the 19th Amendment was probably a mistake.

As a conservative woman who is a net tax contributor I’d hate to lose my right to vote. HOWEVER, there are far more of these loony liberal women than there are women like me so I’m on board.

Though I think we also need to revoke the right to vote for anyone who can vote themselves a raise by their vote. i.e. City, County, State & Federal workers, those on welfare, etc..

“The middle class is tired of getting fucked over by the establishment…”. The middle class is just waking up to the fact. If it weren’t for the Internet and we got all our information from the MSM, we would all be just as clueless as our parents.

Ya! CONgress is on your side. hahahaha! I can’t contain my laughter! hahahaha! My sides hurt! hahahaha!

Ya! Vote HiLlARy. She’s on your side! hahahaha! Go for it girls! hahahaha!

“The American middle class is a patsy in a system designed to do exactly what it has done.” Ya! Paste that on the forehead of the middle class progressive liberals. Maybe then they will wake up.
I not holding my breath.

What a slanted piece of shit article.

Profits, of course, are cumulative. The wage line is individual.

How much has population increased in this period? Around 50%. So take that for the corporate profits.

How much of the profit is related to overseas activity? We’re those included? Apple, for instance, has enormous world-wide sales. Take that off the profit.

Then, divide what you have left by the number of workers in the US and tell me what you get.

Corps make around $10k profit per employee. Should that be $5k, with $5k passed on to employees? Which would reduce Corp profits by more than that $5k when SS, bennies, etc., are tacked on. I for one will close my doors at that level – risk vs reward, investment vs reward do not add up at that point. My company would make money, but would be at risk of going under with any shock to the economy.

Plus, that level of profit does not adequately compensate me personally for my skills and input over the years. Having created a lot of high paying jobs, I think I should be exceptionally well compensated. If I created 150 high paying jobs out of thin air, do you think my wages/profits should be $200k per year? Please, be serious. The reason I did it was not to make $200k a year, but to drastically increase my wealth. It was a risky endeavor. I undertook the risk for prospects of significant reward. I will not pay $80k all up for each employee, and not demand an exceptional return myself. It is ridiculous.

Seriously, corps do not exist for the benefit of their employees. That is nonsense. Employees exist to benefit the company.

Sure, there is some truth to what is said. But a lot of key info is being ignored.

Well, I suppose it is why you have made the decisions you have made, but here in ‘Murika we have a president that thinks that you did not build that business of yours.

Based on actual corporate taxes paid, it seems the corporate profits shown in the chart are overstated by around a third. This in all likelihood relates to profits made overseas. Those, of course, cannot be counted in this discussion.

So, drop the corp profit figure by a third, drop it by another third to allow for population increase, and the actual Corp profit increase falls to around one third of that shown.

If I make $10k profit, where does the money go?

$3500 to tax
$1000 to $2000 in capital expenditure
$1000 or so to increase capital reserves against a rainy day

So, if my company makes $10k profit, around $3000 to $4000 can actually flow to shareholders. Where tax is paid, again.

Currently the Dow is returning about 2.5% of investment to shareholders via dividends.

That is absurdly low. Especially given the downside risk that exists at the moment. Investors are at heavy risk of a 40% loss at the moment.

They are betting on continued capital gains.

Me, I think stocks are far too risky given the potential 2.5% dividend return.

The biggest problem is the fake money, that we are forced to use, created by the damn bankers. And the fact that most people simply can’t do the math and calculate how much we are being screwed over.

If it wasn’t for said fake money, the idiot liberals wouldn’t be able to spend so much on their moronic programs.
