1. No

My stocks are 75% down, I'm making less money with the current job, and inflation sucks. One thing though: I don't blame Biden.

4. I voted yes

Our yearly merit increases for pay have been really nice, and I got a promotion at work that came with a significant raise. And we are getting a nice bonus yearly right now. My wife's small business is growing and doing better now than 4 or 5 years ago.

Wage growth has exceeded inflation since 2019, so I think that belies that more Americans are doing better now, but you never hear about it.

Nobody's fault, but if there isn't a big blue wave this fall, I'm leaving the country.

It seems that DUmmy RainCaster already forgot that his/her/it's income took the hit four years ago and now he/she/it can't even afford a bar of soap never mind moving to a socialist paradise country that doesn't want they/them/it.

And yet the leftists claim that conservatives are voting against their best interest...

Money isn't everything. Socialist paradises can use RainCaster's skills braiding hair on the beach and cultivating pot.

That's weird because even Biden's junta puts out numbers that show real working wages have gone down every single month your corrupt criminal pedophile has been n office. Also credit card debt is at all time high and late payments are also at a high as credit cards are being used to fund everyday living costs.

In short, you are a LYING DUmbshit and should eat a pistol.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

As I've said about skins former island in the past, this is what happens when you cultivate stupid.
"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." - John Adams
