You would deny the mineral rights and agricultural rights to immigrants?   That is unused land, which the Republicans clearly want to be private land.

Why are you in favor of Federal ownership of land.  Why do you want to oppress the Ranchers and Miners?

:shrug:

Because I believe federal land belongs to all Americans, and not to a select few?   That there might be better uses for it than special interests want?

Guess that will make me a far left liberal or Socialist or Communist or whatever the right wants to conflate.  Oh well.

Yes press is part of it, but politicians rarely bring up middle class....who used to be the Dems base, but no more.

you'll have to be more specific -- are you saying that the middle class isn't talked about enough by the press and by politicians?

All I am trying to say is the middle class feels forgotten, they showed it in the last election.   

To paraphrase you, 5 Pages into a thread and that’s all you got? Quite the contribution.

Thought I'd share what I consider some irony here. My company has been hired under an as-needed services contract I manage to prepare a security threat assessment for a very popular local park. The municipality is concerned primarily about a large truck driving into the crowds that gather there for concerts, etc. Our security staff identified the areas around the park perimeter where different types of barriers need to be installed to deal with the threat. Today I'm meeting with a P.E. from our Orange County office for a site walk so we can prepare a cost estimate. The P.E. is a Arab immigrant named after the Prophet.

Left out of what? Forgotten about in what sense? 

there is plenty of literature about the democrats and "establishment" republicans abandoning the white working class, a quick internet search will give you lots of reading material, from lots of different perspectives.

as far as abandoning the middle class, thats a little fuzzier, because public workers are a big component of the middle class, and the dems certainly havent forgotten them, as evidenced by the stimulus payouts.

I dont disagree,  but the out of touch elitists that said they represent the Dem party didnt speak of the middle class much from what i remember.   Trump has pretty much appropriated that position (and others) from the dems recently.

If only the world was as simplistic as you paint it.  But shades abound everywhere Jack.  You just need to take off those glasses and you'll see it.

i'm still chewing on this.  i definitely think, and have thought, that the cultural tumult and upheaval of the last 10-15 years has bucked against the backdrop of the iconic american image: a church-going white family living in the suburbs where mom stays home and dad works at the plant.  i mean, that's *literally* the simpsons right there.  and family guy.  and i certainly agree with the idea that the pain and difficulty of the death of american manufacturing, in terms of number of workers needed to do the job, from the 60s forward, has helped contribute.  and in that sense, certainly, there haven't been a lot of politicians willing to make a political career out of helping them out.  i still haven't quite sorted out how i feel about it all.

mostly, i just want jackrabbit to articulate a thought and make a point. i don't want to make it for him.

Um... nothing. Our population is tiny compared to theirs.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.
