Distributions of wealth in this country

[calamity]

Brain dead.righties! I like that.

Just baffles me how those blue collar working class keep voting for those who are destroying their future.

All because the republicans feed their hatred, bigotry and fear. Now they never intend to address any of those issues after the election but it sure does excite their base.

Same reason the Religiously Righteous keep voting for the adulterous lech who hasn't seen the inside of a church since his baptism: owning the Real Enemy, Democrats.

Yes, they are that stupid.

Typical Russian Putin groupie: 'There is no way in hell Putin has amassed billions of dollars in personal assets at the expense of the poor Russian people. He is not like that.'

Typical democrat Hillary groupie: 'That is a lie. Hillary has not stashed millions in offshore accounts from her shady dealings with world crooks, laundered through her goodwill foundation. She is not like that. If she had hidden money and misappropriated money from her foundation she would have told us. She is just like that.'

I'll keep it simple , scum bag will go to jail for exactly this, New York has is ass on this specifically , Clinton won't because she has done none of the **** you made up with your little mind. You tried this **** 7 times in front of congress , not guilty of anything was the outcome 7 times. I don't have to make up nothing to make your God and leader Scum bag a criminal piece of ****, you can't do the same with your hate driven imagination about Clinton.

It took hate to elect the hate candidate scum bag. That is what I didn't realize. that this country had such a abundance of haters. Promise them Guns, take away the rights of women to choose , and promise them tax cuts. and just puke out as much hate on as many things as possible and you have what we have now.

 

[smallvoice]

It is called "data", or in simpler terms, "facts". Try it some time...no REALLY....try making fact based argument.


How does that work, exactly? If productivity is still increasing YOY, how do "imports" effect a lack of wage gain from that productivity?



This rhetoric smells like fear from someone who cannot explain in any real manner how corporate profits (directly related to productivity) were not shared post 1980.

What is it that makes you think that "Profits should be shared?" Did those receiving the largess of others' risk, costs, investment, and profitability do ANYTHING other than what they agreed to do to get what they earned? You "progressive" yahoos have no idea what capitalism is.

That's the best you can come up with for a response, just more bull**** from the right.Point in fact you said that No one has the right to any of your ****ing hard earned money , now your willing to pay taxes , well micky mouse , that's all I'm asking you to do and that is all the country is asking you sad ass to do. You right wing haters complaining about your taxes is simple stupid. You have absolutely no logic behind it and if my party makes you pay 90% of your income in taxes , then that's what you pay. . You don't set **** anywhere in this country.You stupid Ideas of no taxes is idiotic and brainless. Your remarks are a total waste.

Your willful dishonesty is very telling. Its one thing to pay a fair tax to pay for the services you utilize when you have earned an income. But you have to be the most impotent fiscal penis envy having nobody to believe that once an income has been earned, YOU somehow have a right to say what the owner will do with his or her wealth or who it will be passed on to.

Point blank...regardless of what you were told when they were handing out your participation trophies, you arent entitled to ****. Wealth is not a zero sum game. No matter how much I or anyone else accumulates it doesnt stop you from becoming successful. The only thing that stops you from becoming successful is that guy that stares back at you in disgust from your mirror.

Slick Hillary got away with her crimes when investigated and protected by democrats. The democrat rats are now gone. Let's see what the newly appointed investigators come up with.

Democrats despise Christians, conservatives and republicans because that is what they do. They are biased and their bias causes them to hate their fellow Americans for not being democrat.

This is your comment "Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit regardless of one’s station in life". I can make it all go to the top or all go to the bottom with tax law, so your comment is simply bull****.
Capitalism is the only economic direction unless it is run the way it is run in this country. Then it is detrimental to the people , the country and to capitalism itself , There is only one thing that holds capitalism together and that is the incentive to get ahead , which has been taken away from the mass majority of this country with tax law.

There is great incentive to be mined from economic environments which encourage hard work to obtain wealth. Communism and socialism do not offer those incentives, which is one reason communism and socialism do not produce strong economies with greater wealth.

Workers who depend on government subsidies or government elimination of competition in the earning of wages do not like American capitalism, they favor Russian communism or socialism instead.

 

[Luther]

You can't give all the new wealth of a country to just a few golden few. Capitalism dies when the incentive of the possibility to get ahead is taken away. Which it has been the case since 1981. I would like the greatest most powerful richest country in the world, to stay capitalistic and a Republic. Not caring about the fact that the golden few get it all and in no way deserve it all is selling out my country.

Wealthy democrats know that democrat propaganda about fleecing the rich are just lies designed to appeal to the poor, gullible and ignorant for their votes.

When democrats vote for a sexual predator or enemy of the state they are OK with that. But when republicans vote for a sinner they go bananas.

This is your comment "Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit regardless of one’s station in life". I can make it all go to the top or all go to the bottom with tax law, so your comment is simply bull****.

Then it is detrimental to the people , the country and to capitalism itself , There is only one thing that holds capitalism together and that is the incentive to get ahead , which has been taken away from the mass majority of this country with tax law.

Any system run to it’s extreme is detrimental to the people and to itself. There is no such thing as a pure system unto itself. No pure communist state, no pure democracy (maybe Switzerland is the closest), etc. Even merit systems (Singapore?) end up with an elite. As I attempted to say in my clarification post, I do believe that capitalism offers the most people the best chance to advance by merit. Or, can you think of another system instead? The fact is, even if there were such a thing as a pure merit system that worked just that way, there would be a lot of people left out with very little, which to me doesn’t say much for how a society should be run.

What our direction is in this country has been to redistribute through the tax system, much as you say, what money there is to be had to the rich and large corps. Besides the fact of ongoing socialized cost (corporate welfare/bailouts/subsidies and government funded technological developments, etc.) supporting privatized profits.

 

[jbander]

And when it's easier to get wealthy just by collecting interest or making good investments rather than creating something new or working especially hard, then you're going to get a stagnating economy where wealth is increasingly concentrated. It's not a good thing, and I wish that people would get off of their obsession with all things freedom and realize that unearned income isn't good for society.

my favorite stat is that more then half of the wealth that is distributed in capital gains that are only charged 15% in tax. Go to 1/10 of 1% of the population. The ultimate handout. and the ultimate worse way to drive a economy. The reason why capitalism is the way , is because it has the promise of the potential to get ahead, which has been taken away totally since the 1981 trickle down lie. They think they are promoting capitalism with their flag waving and spewing hatred for the people who are apposing the total transfer of wealth to the top.. in actuality they are actually destroying capitalism.. This is no longer capitalism without the promise of the potential to get ahead. Please any right winger want to argue against this point.

 

[jbander]

You should look at longer time period graphs.

They cut them at 1975 for a reason.

Didn't look like it does now from 1945-1975.

The fact is many countries shifted toward Reagan's trickle down lie. Just like many countries do for anything this country does.

The immense corporate welfare in this country, doe nothing other then distribute wealth to the top. It could be used in a proper way at about 10% of what is used now. One of the major corporate welfare issues , is allowing business to pay sub livable wages, were our safety net has to take care of their worker's for these companies bottom line. That should never be allowed ever,

what ever that means. Wealthy members of the hate party vote the way they do for obvious reasons. now tell me why wealthy democrats vote for democrats without saying something that is in almost total aligned to hate party wealthy members.

Yup. Higher wages could replace a lot of government welfare to those with the least, even though, as you point out, it is more corporate welfare than anything else because it relieves business from having to pay living wages. A bit of danger is that as wages rise, just a little higher can deny much more in government benefits than is the rise in wages to those that would be in that pinch. The government would need to increase the maximum allowable income limits to get at least some benefits.

Fix this and the income inequality problem will fix itself.

Return the tax.rates.to pre-reagan and make the holding period of.long term capital gains a minimum of.5 years.

Lefties don't want 'Reagan's trickle' down fiscal policies. They want Lenin's dumbed down fiscal policies.

Poor people with very bad understandings of how wealth is created see others who have more money and things than they do and stupidly think those 'rich' people are wicked if they do not give them some of their wealth. Democrats in search of millions of dummass votes see this pool of poor and ignorant people as a gold mine.

Envying the rich will never help a poor person work his way out of poverty.

 

[rickc]

Envy has nothing to do withit a tax/political system that is totally slanted to the wealthy is. The wealty own our government, citizen united is a great example, and write the laws to their benefit.

We have been there before during the guilded age and the roaring 20's. The pendulum will swing back to the majority of Americans once again.

Damn shame so many working class Americans are so.stupid
