    An economy “going strong” for only those at the top isn’t going strong at all.

      But you see, stocks and GDP are up. So you’re doing better. Walmarts profits are up 50% YOY. Ignore the fact they just decided to cut starting pay in spite of that.

        Yes. Surely that will translate into savings for me at Wal-Mart, because costs under capitalism go up and down.

          To be fair costs do go down…

          When two parties of equal power are negotiating. Yeah they always forget to mention that part. I wonder why?
