CNN: 26% democrats believe income inquality is most important...

[The Tradition]

And where exactly are they going to start those businesses? Please tell me you don't think "America".

Yeah, no one starts a business in America, anymore.

How about stopping the ridiculous rhetoric?

Even if someone like Donald Trump was only building casinos in other countries rather than here in the anti-casino U.S. of A., he still spends his money here, providing jobs for jewelers, tailors, yacht and jet plane manufacturers, chefs, hair stylists....

 

[YellowSnow51]

wop...you are ignorant.

You get folks working and working in jobs that can provide for them and a family and you will note many things in life become manageable.

You are nuts if you think THAT'S the way the leftist yahoos are planning on attaining income equality. Think about Robin Hood and you'll be a lot closer.

 

[ICWestfan]

wop...you are ignorant.
Absolutely income disparity is the #1 problem in America today. And the gap is getting wider and wider. I have personally believed this for 10 years. Jobs and economy are symptoms of income disparity, "Security".....buy folks a night light.
You get folks working and working in jobs that can provide for them and a family and you will note many things in life become manageable.
What first impressed me about Bernie Sanders...I watched Bernie 4 years ago on Bill Moyer's program on IPBN and he talked about income disparity being the primary issue in this nation. That is why Bernie is as popular as any of the candidates running for POTUS. Income disparity is a big deal.

Disparity and inequality are 2 different things. There will always be disparity, but never inequality unless you are talking about pay structure for certain jobs.

 

[zwick99]

Can you tell me how MASSIVE tax cuts for the top 10% will help the bottom 10%? That is every viable Republicans plan.

Can you tell us how hoodiecrats destroying the schools and working at McDonalds will help the poor? How about you assimilate and get real jobs? MLK did not dream about working at McDonalds.

The real problem is the poor are lazy and they are falling behind on merit. They would fall behind in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Germany and any civilized society. Those countries care about education and hard work. They might get 4 weeks vacation but they first put in the 48 weeks of work vs the hoodiecrats who get 52 weeks of vacation and sit around all day bustin rhymes, playing video games and breeding.

 

[zwick99]

If you are an adult working for minimum wage, you are a freaking moron, and that is YOUR fault, not mine. My teenage sons don't work for minimum wage.

I made more than minimum at my FIRST job when I was 15. Hoodiecrats are morons. They destroyed the schools and then want MCdonalds to pay them 100k. LOL @ the poor.

MLK did not dream about working at McDonalds.

So other than being gang raped by a bunch of black men, how was prison?

 

[zwick99]

I would not know. I have never been in prison or as the hoodiecrats like to say, incarcerated.

I do all the things MLK dreamed about. I went to school, worked hard, got a good job, worked hard, and take care of my family. I live in a neat, clean, safe neighborhood with good schools. The people in my neighborhood made the neighborhood good. We don't sit around waiting for handouts and then destroy the neighborhood like the hoodiecrats with no pride.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I got a kick out of watching the youngsters campaigning for Bernie hoping he gets elected to get them free college in a couple years. It hasn't dawned on them they'll eventually get taxed to death to pay for it. The rich won't put up with the tax. They'll either leave America or just stop re-investing in America and the economy will crash. Same for Medicare or Medicaid for all; all paid by future income tax increases. The interest on the debt has to be paid.

I hate to break it to you but the rich already stopped investing in America.

Every tax break we give them means more money parked offshore.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Yup, a political ploy/strategy continually used by politicians, (mostly Democrats) to get your votes. "they (corporations,oil companies, Wall Street, rich Republicans, whites, law enforcement, your boss blah, blah) are taking advantage of you, are discriminating against you. But. "I will defend you, I will fight for you," just elect me.

By all means question the sincerity of politicians who promise to fix the problem.

But don't deny the truth of the charge. That's flat out fact.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Life isn't fair, deal with it.

One really great way of dealing with it is through the democratic process.

That's what the founding fathers thought. That what the progressive reformers who have improved upon their good start thought.

I'm with them.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Government-enforced income equality will mean that everybody is equally poor.

You bow down to a very foolish religion. But I admire how you can regurgitate the dogma on demand.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Because bringing high earners down to our level helps who?

Depends on what we do with the revenue, doesn't it?

I recently read that the 62 richest people in world own as much as the poorest half of the world's population. Or something like that.

I bet we could do a lot of good with a modest redistribution from just those 62 people that would still leave them filthy rich.

It's quite a bit of a stretch to claim the founding fathers thought that. They were actually a good bit wealthier than our modern politicians on average. Washington was one of the richest. They weren't really interested in equality by any stretch of the imagination. They were actually concerned of democracy becoming a means for the poor to steal from the rich.

You could do a lot of good by not destroying the schools, working hard for once, getting a real job, introducing yourselves to your illegitimate kids and obeying the laws.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

For those of you are seemingly illiterate, what is meant by income inequality is fixing the loopholes which give the rich and large corporations an unfair advantage.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

My word, some of you are SO DUMB! The issue isn't jealousy of the rich or any such nonsense. The issue is that NO country can survive economically for long the way this inequality is trending. It's not that people want to steal the money of the rich, it's that the working class and middle class need to have enough money to sustain the economy. Don't just listen to me, listen to that noted Communist MARK F'ING CUBAN (you complete morons)...

Then stop destroying schools and get real jobs. You are too stupid to understand the rich did not take a dime from you. Even if you were given the money you would blow it and be broke in the near future. The problem is you are falling behind. YOu refuse to do the things necessary to be successful. YOu basically do the opposite of MLK and wonder why you are getting the opposite results.

The rich care about education and hard work. The poor look at work as slavery and they destroy schools with violence. Hoodiecrats who look down at education and hard work will fail in EVERY country.

 

[zwick99]

For those of you are seemingly illiterate, what is meant by income inequality is fixing the loopholes which give the rich and large corporations an unfair advantage.

The main advantage is good parenting. The hoodiecrats main disadvantage is bad parenting. YOu can't redistribute brains and work ethics.

If we agree to fixing the loopholes will you agree to deport anyone who fails from here on or will you come up with another excuse in your long list of excuses?

You are too stupid to back off your precious ideology a second and watch and listen to a man in the link that is far more successful than yourself.

 

[zwick99]

Cuban is an example of our system working!!! Our system did not hold Cuban down. I suggest you copy Cuban. The problem with people like you is you do the opposite of Cuban but then act surprised when you do not get the same results. YOu want to copy the people working at McDonalds while I suggest you copy Cuban.


PS. If you had half a brain you could invest in Fortune 500 companies instead of investing in limited edition kicks and tats. You would then get a piece of the pie just like Cuban.

 

[zwick99]

Can you tell us any economic system in the world where the majority of hoodiecrats are self sufficient and successful?

I propose we let you pick any system you want but anyone who fails from here on gets deported and no more welfare. You should not need welfare if your system is successful.

Tell us the system and I will shred you. YOUR people never want to put in the work. YOu do the opposite of people in any successful system.

Let's be honest. You just want more handouts. You want the success but don't want to put in the work. Cuban gave you the blueprint but his plans take work.

Do you think all democrats are on welfare?

 

[zwick99]

Do you think all democrats are on welfare?

No. There are many successful Dems and they are all capitalists who copy the Mark Cuban model. The problem with Dems is they want to expand the failed model and want to reduce the successful Cuban model. It is funny that Dems solution for the economy is for McDonalds to pay more. Why don't the Dems say, "Lets expand the Silicon Valley model"?

Tell me why the Dems never suggest the poor copy the successful Dems? What system are the successful dems using? Notice how the successful Dems all use Reaganomics? The poor Dems do the opposite of the successful Dems and wonder why they get different results. The poor then blame the system. The problem is we have already made numerous changes to the system and they fail with every system. The poor refuse to change their ways and put in the work like the rich.

 

[joelbc1]

Trickle down doesn't work? Who the hell do you think creates jobs? Poor people?

You think the government is efficient on infrastructure? Hahahaha... the infrastructure our wonderful government has been providing and managing is crumbling. Guess that means we need to give them even more money to mismanage, huh?

Let private companies build roads and bridges without union "prevailing wage" scales and affirmative action rules, and watch our infrastructure get fixed lickety-split.

Yes absolutely...and the road to America becoming a third world power is well on the way. The idea is to get the friggin' money out of the hands of the greedy and place it into the hands of folks who will spend it.

Your view of economics is that of a simpleton. Your ignorant assumption is that public assistance is about blacks (lets be real, here) being lazy and not wanting to work, and only wanting the rich to pay for them. I challenge that assumption. The VAST majority of people on welfare WANT to work but are unable to for a variety of reasons. Are there people that fall "under the spell of the handout". Sure. But that is no reason NOT to have a safety net for those who need it. You can work to counter that (and besides, people like you act like life on government assistance is easy street. News flash: I'm pretty sure it sucks). The role of government, in my view, is to facilitate the mental, physical, and economic health/freedom of its people. More so, I advocate measures of growing the lower and middle class by enforcing simple fairness in worker pay. Your fallacy of government assistance going to the lazy, and wanting handouts, is frankly childishly stupid. Do some reading that isn't on a right-wing nutjob Facebook chain, but those crazy lefties at the Wall Street Journal...

Your people are not looking for a safety net. You want lifelong handouts. When are the poor ever successful? We have hoodiecrats living in public housing for 5 generations straight and they fail with EVERY President. We can have the best economy in the world and those losers still fail.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Yeah, buddy, this is HROT. We all will.

 

[ping72]

History repeats itself over and over.

Every time the income disparity becomes too large there is a revolution where the poors overthrow the 1%ers. And then things usually go pretty bad for those people for quite awhile.

I can't imagine that would go well for us.

 

[jaffarosenfels]

So, in other words, you stereotype, have a very narrow view of humans in general, and over react about things you have very little knowledge of but it's ok cause you are rich.

So you think we should deport your parents since you are obviously a failure?

At some point I will be leaving on my own. I am tired of supporting your welfare state. You will complain when I leave because you won't have anyone to maintain the neighborhood and run the businesses. When people like me left the cities you complained about white flight.

 

[Vroom_C14]

Women wanted equality - karma is a bitch...

For the first time, top Army and Marine Corps leaders have testified that they think women should register for the draft.

"I think that all eligible and qualified men and women should register for the draft," Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
