1. Sounds like Trickle Down in new clothes

In other words, lipstick on a pig.

[angstlessk]

2. "Shared Prosperity" is making every employee a contract laborer

so no employee regulations are required..no minimum wage, no safety regs, nothing for the protection of those employed...just a sheet of paper written by the employer...ur, uh the contractor...

6. and no SS contributions!

kill SS, kill Medicare

[bemildred]

3. A re-branding of "the ownership society".

"Join now! You too can have servants!"

4. I can't even watch those fools anymore. n/t

[Enrique]

5. what is that?

is that a thing?

It sounds good, but like pinboy says above, given the source I smell trickle-down.

7. I didn't see it, but as bemildred said above it sounds like re-branding of the SOS. nt
