Democrats say Trump's job growth isn't enough, demand 'moral' economy

Democrats running for president in 2020 say the rapid job growth and low unemployment under President Trump isn't enough, and say America needs to strive for a "moral" economy.

Their calls seem to reflect a consensus among Democrats on how to attack what many agree is a healthy economy that's creating jobs under Trump, and the rising influence of socialist candidates and lawmakers in the Democratic Party. Less than a year before the first primaries, Democrats appear to have settled on an argument that says the economic gains seen over the last two years aren't being "shared" with others.

"What happened to a moral responsibility, to a moral capitalism?" former Vice President Joe Biden asked an audience of students Tuesday during an event at the University of Pennsylvania.

The possible 2020 contender, by way of example, recalled his work with General Motors as part of the automobile industry bailout, and criticized the corporation for not investing in worker training and modernizing when its fortunes improved.

"I'm not looking for charity. Business is not in business to be in charity, it's to make money. But the last dime does not dictate what corporate responsibility should be," the longtime senator from Delaware said. "And look, I don't begrudge anybody making a million or hundreds of millions of dollars, I really don't. But I do think there's some shared responsibility and it's not being shared fairly for hard-working, middle-class, working-class people."

This isn’t a new argument that Democrats are making. They made the same argument during the Reagan era.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The dimocratic party decrying  lack of morality might be the 100% absolute example of irony in world history.

The economy is now robust enough that we're experiencing wage growth for the first time in years, with employers seeking more employees than there are willing Americans to fill them.      That isn't "sharing with others"?

Edit:  Oh yeah,  I forgot about AOC and her desire to share our prosperity with those "unwilling to work".  That's the Dems' view of a moral economy.

After years of weak job growth under Obama, we finally have strong growth in blue-collar industry for the first time since the recession. So, naturally, white-collar types don't like that because their industries are still lagging.

You’ve got to really love how the champions of abortion on demand talk about a moral economy.

Which candidate will DEMAND a Living Wage, for workers that are UNWILLING to work?

Will they claim discrimination in Non-Hiring for the jobs for the Unwilling?

Will firms hold Non-hiring events?

Will democrats urge Unions, to organize the Unwilling to work? Will Unions "reach out" to them?

Which contemporary "Republican" will see the missed opportunity, and start his/her pursuit of the Unwilling to work voters?

Will Vegan Cory Booker demand meat free fast food outlets? Staffed by the Unwilling to work,
