The wages are left stagnate, the middle class is dying and the rich just toss their profits offshore or into investments.. That is what has killed the economy. Honestly this is one of the biggest reasons I've been self employed almost my entire life, because I could never actually afford to work for someone else.

yep i'm with you on this 100%. Trickle down & bush tax cuts & tarps & stimuli are all making the rich richer. With globalism & tech driven productivity advances, the capital gains has far more options than 30 years back. Capital builds factories in china instead of the USA now. Better margins for the shareholders, & mcjobs for the workers.
The answer to the globalism problem & wage stagnation is a sharp dose of populism. Sadly there is but 1 populist left in america: pat buchanon. Neither party comes even close to a populist platform. too busy taking that lobby money to do anything to upset the cash river that comes from the 1%.
