OK, so whats the explanation for the ABSOLUTE fact above if not that Democratic candidates care more about wages than profits, and Republican candidates care more about profits than wages.
Here's the numbers, btw The blue blocks are around republican presidential terms, and the red blocks are around democratic presidential terms. What's your explanation for them?
Not gonna get angry over this one, and realized I ain't gonna change anyones mind, but not once has anyone offered me a coherent conclusion other than the one I came up with. The only presidential term in that time stretch thats republican that seemed to show a good balance of wages vs profits was Reagan (and to be honest, I wouldn't be so very unhappy with a republican president along the lines of Reagan, but W is no Reagan)
