CNBC: The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer

[saveliberty]

Weird, where are these poorer folk? Seems like everyone has a cell phone and flat screen.

lol. why do already rich folk, need a tax break.

Because they buy stuff poor people make.

 

[harmonica]

so by poor you mean not owning a boat/not eating out at good restaurants/not having a new car every 4 years/not having cable TV/not going on vacations/etc
...I've never been on vacation..never took off more than 3 days from work
no cable TV--it sucks anyway....I don't buy expensive/all the food I want
.

The top 1% of families took home an average of 26.3 times as much income as the bottom 99% in 2018, according to NEW NEWS by MSNBC. And some states are more unequal than others, with the Northeast and West Coast outpacing the rest of the country.

Some scarier numbers, it only take $87000 a year to be in the top 10%.

I was under the impression that it would be a lot more.

What Percent Are You?

 

[Shrimpbox]

So income disparity increased a lot under obama? Where were you then?

 

[fncceo]

Will the 'talent' and management at CNBC be donating their salaries?

 

[harmonica]

the top 1% making so much does not mean the lower class is not getting paid enough

I`d like to see the lower class getting enough so that we don`t have to subsidize them with food stamps.

I like the food stamps/welfare/etc---to a degree
it's abused though a lot!
...I know someone who had 4 kids with different fathers!! you would think after one or even 2 she/they would stop!!!!!! so it's her/their fault if she can't make it financially some of these people are just ''stupid''/make wrong decisions/etc

Henry Ford was a good Capitalist; why aren't You.

Income disparity increased under Obama, along with poverty. If you don't like increased income disparity you should never have voted for that asshole.

Why don't you Socialists pay more taxes instead of trying to make every one else pay for your silly, stupid ideas? It has NEVER worked. Of course the 'rich' make more...because they WORK more and make more $$$. In the past, I have seen that whenever socialists start defining 'rich' the definition gets lowered to lower and middle class. Hey 'funnyboy' stuff it.

public policy pays them to have more kids.

unemployment compensation would simply compensate them for being unemployed.

Actually I agree that the 'war on drugs' is a failure and I think we would agree on that. I am for legalizing drugs. I am not monolithic.
