A Question regarding Economic Classes

[The Rabbi]

How does taxation lower the wage gap?

It discourages people from working and earning more.
Dems want equality. They want everyone poor and miserable.

Capitalism pushes all wealth towards the top. Democratic government pushes it back down.

Capitalism created Detroit. Democratic government destroyed it.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Lower prices and lack of political will to tax passive income to pay for social programs.

Social programs make up more than half of the federal budget.
What the fuck more do you want?
And what does this have to do with anything?

Rightttttttttttt.

Capitalism made the USA the worlds #1 economy. You got something better than #1, let's hear it. Your Democratic government have been creating nothing but Third World Cesspools

A silly bit of jingoism, especially as the Commnist Party of China is about to lead China past the USA as the world's #1 economy.

But, really, what kind of childish contest is this? Why is our #1 economy providing health outcomes ranking #38? Why are a quarter of the kids living in this #1 economy living in poverty and eating on food stamps? We have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Why can't this economy find jobs for those guys?

Obama has trained his laser-like focus on jobs. He has a pen and a phone. This will be the summer of recovery.

Doesnt really matter. Income is income. If your parents gave you $200/mo it would still be income for these purposes.

so food stamps are taxed as income....? Obamacare subsidies are taxed as income....?

It's not income for tax purposes. If you mow your neighbor's lawn for $20 and dont declare it is that suddenly not income to you?
Look, this isn't a hard concept. Why are you having trouble with it?

i get what you're saying but i find it difficult because comparing 'incomes' doesn't seem right when some are earned and others are simply charity....

When China was a progressive paradise people ate rats and drank tree sap, that's what your failed system got them. They've turned to capitalism and 1/2 billion people joined the middle class.

Also your lists are stupid and pointless

Also the Democrat party thrives on poverty and government Dependants its their oxygen.

When conservatives ran the government in the 1920s you couldn't find an unemployed person.

A gap between the rich and the poor is continuing to widen.

The poor get poorer while the rich get richer, it seems.

Why is this, guys?

its the world the wealthy sociopaths wish to see

More of your lunacy....shut up....
I see you've been banned....Figures.
Here's the rub.....Without business to create jobs which create products and services, nobody makes money.
Now, if that doesn't compute, ask your little doggy.

 

[thereisnospoon]

dear idiots,


You are the party of the wealthy.

that is what deregulation is about

HA!! There are more wealthy libs than conservatives. And that's by a WIDE margin.

 

[Chris]

From 1941 to the 1960's we had high taxes on the rich and high wages. The taxes were invested in education and infrastructure and the high wages created consumer demand. Now we have low taxes for the rich and low wages. What is the result? 23% of total income goes to the top 1%. 70% of our economy is consumer demand. Too much money in too few hands starves the economy of demand. Stagnation is the result.

Raise the minimum wage and tax capital gains as income.

 

[thereisnospoon]

you idiots deregulate and the people suffer.,


why do you do that?

Ok...Explain your definition of regulation.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

A gap between the rich and the poor is continuing to widen.

The poor get poorer while the rich get richer, it seems.

Why is this, guys?

It has always been and always will be because its the rich have the power and the poor are too damn dumb to vote for themselves.

Instead, they buy lottery tickets.

they have been cheated in elections for decades now.

Its the only reason Rs get elected

Yep. Without gerrymandering, vote theft, vote buying, there would be very very few Rs in office.

Which is as it should be.

 

[thereisnospoon]

and then you crashed the economy for the second time in one lifetimes with your deregulation.


why the hell do that again fool?

No...Liberal politicians did that. They set up the rules. They created the housing market. They permitted the conditions.
And now after 5 years of stability in the housing market through tight credit, that Idiot Mel Watt is back at it again.

 

[thereisnospoon]

facts mean nothing to this current right

You'll be back in time out soon enough.
We've all the facts.
For example.
TO date, business has never been more under the thumb of federal oversight.
Truth is, many industries need it.
Those not getting the additional hard look, banking , air carriers, telecommunications, are in a merger frenzy. Not good for consumers.
I'd like to see these large companies throttled back.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Is that part of the reason conservatives want to make America's poor poorer? Because that is the conservative economic plan.

THE POOR HAD IT BETTER WHEN REPUBS RAN THINGS

true story

the very richest are getting richer FASTER under Progressive rule

ok continue making a fool of yourself pretending you arent in charge

How can the Democrats be in charge when the House is Republican and the Republicans in the Senate can block all legislation with the filibuster?

Right. The Senate HAS blocked every piece of GOP sponsored legislation since 2006.

The crash was caused by Republican deregulation.

Wall Street ran a derivatives based Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy. It was NOT the housing market.

Citizens in 90% of the countries on Earth would love to be dirt poor in America.

Is that part of the reason conservatives want to make America's poor poorer? Because that is the conservative economic plan.

HA.....This is Obama's watch. Democrats run the Senate. The Senate has the final word. So, where is the democrat plan?

The Democratic plan is to increase infrastructure spending and raise the minimum wage.

Both have been blocked by Republicans.

The poor get poorer while the rich get richer, it seems.

Why is this, guys?

I don't know for sure but it could be the war on unions. Too much immigration isn't helping. Too much exporting of jobs. The rich no longer need US workers to get rich. Where they do at places like walmart they still pay so little because the government covers the rest of the bill.

The unions are not part of the equation. Union membership peaked 50 years ago.
Another problem you have is that union management supports immigration reform.
