    This man has been proven wrong by Trump's economic policies. Trump has increased jobs for everybody. He has increased the jobs in the USA by 2.4 million jobs added to the work force. The stock market is doing great and entrepreneurs are investing in America because all the government regulations have been lifted and now they can invest freely without the federal govt coming in and stealing the profits.

    And with that said my income was stuck between 10 to 16 an hour between 2004 2013 then it slowly went up. Now it jumped in last couple years. this year I will clear 80k at my job and another 10-15k in side work. I work 50-55 hours a week. GED and job experience. Few certificates. No college. It took a long time but because of my experience and trumps economy I don’t worry anymore. I know I can always find work. And that goes for almost everyone around me. Why would people want to change that.

    When you get in that voting booth remember black unemployment is at an all-time low. Tavis is wrong --- by October 2019 Trump has championed justice reform and wages are growing. Tavis is right --- there is a category of people who are "limited in their ability" to get and keep a job. Those people need a new-era training program that invests in the kinda adult education that prepares these people to become productive citizens. It can be done it just takes time, patience, and money.

    The idea of a black President who would be able to offer real change was a great selling point at a time when the economy was tanking. No person who operates with tge same level of thinking that caused thr problems can truly make a difference. In order to address "Poverty, Income Inequality, and Economic Immobility" you need to address the privatization of the nation's monetary affairs. Take a closer look at who controls the Dollar and you will see the reason for the concepts mentioned above. RTD

      Unemployment for black people was better under Obama than it was under any Republican before him and I don’t remember Republicans repeating this fact over and over. The fact y’all can only site the employment rate for black people under Trump to make this ridiculous case that hid the best thing to ever happen to black people shows how shalllow your case is. When you account for inflation over the last 50 years, that’s how long wages haven’t gone up and Trump literally said "wages are *too high* . And what has he done for anybody, forget black people, as far as healthcare and education? Why didn’t he for a federal legalization of weed?
