Rigged economy: protect values of assets of the rich and allow real income to decline for the many

This paragraph shows how the FED and corporations rig the economy:

"The disparity between outsize financial success for the wealthy (brought about in large part by Federal Reserve policies that have protected asset values) and the relative or real income declines for many (the result of increased trade, globalization of the economy and the advance of technology) means that economic anxiety and resulting political frustration and intergenerational tension are the dominant themes of the presidential election."

Sadly, with Trump running, all we'll here is a bunch of name calling rather than solutions. Vote for Hillary, but insist that she talks about how to help the American people.

I don't see how the average woker is ever going to get ahead in this economy.

Stand by for more minumum wage jobs that keep you busy and very poor.
