As the Rich Get Richer, the Poor Get Richer

The poor didn´t get any richer for decades. But many goods got cheaper as they come from other countries now. Many jobs taken away.

And the price of tea in China? Anything else irrelivent for us?

There might be relevant things for you. For example when Trump goes after China before the US industry has been relocated to the US. China in possession of large parts of the US and EU industry and their know-how means the end of the West´s advance sooner or later. West´s behavior is simply mad, whatever our leaderships do, one can only shake the head.

We can't move the industry BACK, until the economics of it dictate that it must be moved.


NOT doing so, is madness.

Trump can cause China to cut off any supply any minute.

Agreed, and he fucking should. Sooner the better.

But that means empty shelves in the US and the US government going belly up.

No, it wont'.

It means new suppliers in other nations, or maybe, even in this nation, (meaning jobs for Americans).


Such would be great for this country and the government would be all the stronger for it.

Don´t be that naive. You can´t make that many factories in a matter of "minutes". And China (and Russia by the way) unloading US bonds would result in Washington´s inability to act.

You can have factories in other nations, increase production in a matter of days.


Unloading bonds would cost them billions, while having no immediate effect on US.

 

[GreenBean]

The gap between our wealthiest and the workers is widening

I know you;re accustomed to getting "Trickled Down On" in the sewers and all that .... but do a little research - WHO are the wealthiest Americans so far as the political spectrum is concerned --- If you are capable of breaking out of your leftarded mindset you might be amazed --- but me fears dat too many years down in dem dear sewer has left you perm, brain damaegd

 

[deanrd]

Totally true. I have witnessed Cambodia from the fall of Pol Pot to today. In the 80's everyone was struggling to survive. Literally. Now you see a Lexus passing a farmer riding his cart pulled by an ox.

Yeah, big income disparity, but the road is paved, the farmer has an ox now as well as a cart. And he has food and a job.

In America our poor today means you have an iPhone 4 and your DVD doesn't play Blu Ray.

And yet, in Appalachia, an area that covers 13 Red States and is among the poorest areas in the United States, infant mortality is rising and life expectancy is falling. Odd that.

You don´t have factories in other countries. It´s all in China, some in India. Unloading bonds means the US must pay them off.

There are factories all over the world.


The US does not have to pay off the bonds, before they reach maturity.

People don't know the distribution of wealth....not a reason to change the distribution of wealth.

The poor today are richer than any time in human history.

I know that grieves you, but it's a fact.

No doubt about that but that´s not all that great. A fat belly hardly resists. Look how wealthy we could be. Automated factories could work for us, all is free. Work time two or three hours per day. But that´s nothing for you, evil communism. You prefer to work 10 fucking hours in Uncle Sam´s last steel factory like hundred years ago. Health insurance? Communism! Holiday? Communism! Worker rights? COMMUNISM!


Here’s the list of the countries with the highest wealth inequality, according to the Allianz report.
(100 = One guy owns all the money*)

1. U.S.A. — 80.56
2. Sweden — 79.90
3. U.K. — 75.72
4. Indonesia — 73.61
5. Austria — 73.59
6. Germany — 73.34
7. Colombia — 73.18
8. Chile — 73.17
9. Brazil — 72.86
10. Mexico — 70.00

America Is the Richest, and Most Unequal, Country

*my adding for explanation.

This list is interesting, America 80 - Sweden 79. American is the least communistic country. Sweden is the most communistic country. (In the west.).

So the list shows that the blight of communism has no correlation with wealth inequality.

We can probably add that this is partly because income without assets is not wealth no mater how high that income may be.

I'm tired of the lefts ranting about income inequality.
Move to Cuba if it troubles you.
Topic is the fact the poor are getting richer.

 

[anotherlife]

ah, but the globalists have skipped the fence long ago Correll.....~S

Indeed. Globalism has been inevitable for at least 60 years, and becomes more entrenched every day.

Returning to the 1950's is not an option.

Many countries are trying to get back to the 1950s by criminalizing cross border enterprise. Luckily the USA is not yet one of them. The result is sovietification.

 

[anotherlife]

Rage against the poor. Why do the poor bother you? How immature. If you are not poor then explain why anyone cares if some poor person has a phone....unreal. if being poor is so great then why is everyone running around in the godforsaken rat race trying not to be poor?

Because girls don't dig poverty.

There is no way to get back the know how to the west. Things have advanced since the outsourcing. Plus the west has no stability to allow people to learn. Fascism is the future of the west. Europe is already turning it on. Especially the UK. One day the USA will too I guess.

True that any political system can become top heavy.

capitalism's cousin corporatism can, if left in libertopian hands, morph into fascism

when so, poverty becomes systemic

America once fought a war against poverty – now it wages a war on the poor

Few in the center to right of the political spectrum gets pissed off like the left because the guy next door is doing better off financially than they are. The left devote most of their time envying and coveting other people's financial successes.

For some of them they want to replace the current "wealthy" with a technocratic class of do-gooders, (usually including themselves). ,

My sig covers my view on that pretty clearly.
