The 1% will own more than the 99% by 2016, report says

You. Do, Not. Get. It.

With an ever so dwindling pool of available money to be made, how would the bottom 99% increase their median income?

I'm afraid you don't get it. The "pool of available money to be made" is never dwindling.
 
Oh well? It's just an irrelevant statistic being made hay of by a leftist organization.
 
So it would seem the Progressive Machine has got some soldiers pushing press releases.

Is the expectation people won't realize these studies are funded by the likes of George Soros' Open Society Institute, and thus have an extreme bias and agenda attached to them, or are they purely for the consumption of the Progressive Believers, and are talking points to fuel the propaganda effort?

Soros! Everybody drink!
 
But thats what Leftsists want, an all powerful government. They are Socialists, just like their Great Leader the Kenyan

You have some really warped ideas of what "leftsists" want. Have you made a post yet that isn't oozing unbridled hackery?
 
Greetings, ocean515. :2wave:

So Soros is in the news again, causing trouble as usual. What else is new? :yawn: Has the man ever done one good thing in his life that anyone knows about? While I understand why a billionaire like Soros would spend $33 million dollars to agitate low income people on wealth inequality - it does cause envy, anger, and riots by those people who don't know what his goal is or how much money he personally has - he is 84 years old and maybe he feels it's just taking too long to get it done, so he's decided to step things up a bit? Whatever. If they're counting on him to improve their lives, though....

How is Soros "in the news"? I am so utterly sick of the incessant whining about this guy.

Well you know what then? Get rich!! Don't snivel about other people getting rich, you get rich yourself.

There will always be poor, middle and rich. That's real life. Crying about it is just pathetic.

If I am happy and I like my home and my job, why the hell should I care if Bill Gates is a billionaire? That's just Commie thinking. Bill Gates can be a trillionaire for all I care. As long as I like my life I won't envy others theirs.

Grow up for Pete's sake. Live your life and stop sweating other peoples' lives.
Your level of understanding on this particular subject is frighteningly non existent.. . . . . .

No, its more like your level of sniveling on this subject is frighteningly TOO existent.
 
There needs to be income distribution. Money is "grease." It facilitates the transfer of goods and services. If there are significant portions of the population that have no "grease," the transfer of goods and services breaks down. Kids don't get educated. Start-ups can't be boot-strapped. Consumers don't have discretionary income to fuel the economy.

It's as if you were to take a motor and grease only a single bearing, and then expect the motor to work.

Wow,

So the left has devolved into motor metaphors ? Money is " grease " ?

Did you just make that up ?

Redistribution doesn't " grease " anything exept the palms of Bueracrats.

It gets redistributed from the tax payet to the Government and that's where it stays.

Greetings Kobie. :2wave:

I'm sick of the whole reporting process on who's funding who, and for what propaganda purpose! The last thing we need is more agitating and division in this country right now! People are already on edge because they don't know what the future holds for them and their families.

Brothern is "the left"? Why do you ALWAYS argue labels rather than people?

He's a one great example, thats for sure.
 
Some things about inequality disturb me but at no time in history has there been less absolute poverty and I guess I'd rather have a better situation globally than back to the time of the golden middle class in the west and people not able to afford shoes in the East.

My now Ex Wife was from the far east, very prosperous when I first met her actually holidaying in the west. Later on discovered she could sand down wood with her feet, couldn't afford shoes when she was young so walked everywhere bearfoot. Similar stories can be told in Bangladesh and various other countries.

So lets not decry from the heavens the evils of capitalism, if anything its equalled out the share of wealth and given wealth to the super rich at the same time. Ultimately though less people suffering.
 
Your level of understanding on this particular subject is frighteningly non existent.

First, start by wiping your brain for the notion that the lower class are just jealous. That should free up your mind on why huge income inequality is such a bad thing.

What's freightening, is that tax cuts hurt the middle and lower classes.

Money is defined as something that:

1. Is a store of value, which means people can save it and use it later
2. Is a unit of account, that is, provide a common base for prices; or
3. Is a medium of exchange, something that people can use to buy and sell from one another.

odd, since you didn't. that would imply that (since you "can") you chose not to and posted nonsense instead- (textbook definition of trolling)

Ok, tell us how many times a poor person gave you job.

that LITERALLY has NOTHING to do with the point I asked.


Keep trying though. Maybe your list of copy pasta strawmen points in your notepad txt file will eventually converge to a relevant response. I'd put higher odds on the infinite monkeys theorem playing out faster though.
