Corporate profits are were huge last year and everyone but the rich are drowning because wages are going down, white collar wages may have stayed constant but they haven't risen, despite inflation, for decades.

While most workers in the nation are pissed off because a small portion of their paycheck says that the money is going to subsidize welfare (the injured, infirm, and small percentage of IDGAF free money people whom most likely have children) they are blind to the fact that a majority their paycheck is stolen from them from above. They never even saw what was stolen from them in the first place. We see the small amount of money come out of our paycheck to support the super poor but we don't see the large amount of money that we should have earned but was taken to support the super rich. Society is looking the wrong way.
