The Issue Gap

So, what are the issues that the average working or middle class person worries about versus what are the issues the media and the wealthy worry about.

Pay Gaps - The corporate media has spent an amazing amount of time worrying over how much different actors get paid. The see a true travesty when an actress is paid a million for a role and an actor is paid two million to be the star in the same movie or show. The same media that is fixating on this is also against increasing the minimum wage which effects millions. In fact, most jobs pay the same regardless of sex and have for decades. There is no pay gap for most people because they all get paid as little as possible. The biggest pay gap is between the CEOs and the workers.

Gender Identity - While the media would have you believe that homosexuality is a gender, most gays do not think so. Gay men like men, not women. Gay women like other women, not men. They are not confused by which gender they are. Transgenders are in fact a minimal factor in the world. Gays are not confused by what they are, they accept their sexuality. Transgenders believe they are something they are not. That is generally considered a mental problem and their 70%+ suicide rate shows this.

Immigration - The wealthy are for open borders to reduce what they pay people and kill off any social safety new while blaming it on the immigrants. Macron even said that, he said that if they kept taking in immigrants eventually they would not be able to afford a welfare program or social programs.

Police Shootings of the Unarmed - When is shooting unarmed people ever okay? Is it okay if they are white or Asian? We only talk about shooting unarmed black people which by the way is disproportionate. We don't talk about the economics of the people that are killed. Most unarmed people shot by the police are poor or working class, that is the number one statistic on them, not color. We are also more likely to kill men then women. Should we talk about the jail gap and gender?

Let me throw this out there. If you watch the corporate entertainment media you will see well off blacks and successful gays. Yet, that same media will tell you that they are worse off on average, which in fact is true for blacks at least, so why don't they show that? Blacks are not as successful overall or as a percentage as whites, yet, the shows all show that they are. Look at Greys Anatomy, loaded with successful and well off blacks. Is that real representative, nope, it is intended to be aspirational. You are supposed to believe, if you are black, that you can succeed just as well, become the next Oprah Winfrey. How many will achieve that? Not the vast majority. The opportunities are limited and the wealthy have the advantage, they can afford risks. Remember when Eminem sang that he took his one chance and couldn't afford to lose, yet, there is a lottery system and some will succeed but not become the decision makers, just the tokens to fool the rest of us into believing there is the same chance for everyone, there is not.

So what are the biggest issues for the working and middle class. Well, jobs and the economy were number one during the last election. 85% said that was one of their issues, more than any other issue. Any politician that runs in 2018 on anything other than increasing wages and employment is working against the middle class and has their priorities aligned with the oligarchs and the elites.
