Regardless.
You ducked my earlier post where I pointed out the the standard of living for the lower and middle classes have dramatically increased in the last century. This is irrefutable fact, the poor and middle live better than at any time in human history.
Given this, your entire argument is one of envy and greed, the fact that others have even more than you do is the foundation of your complaint.
The truth of the left is they want for nothing yet they lust for everything.
You're right. The standard of living for the poor and middle class have increased in the last century. You'd have to be an idiot not to believe that. However, that doesn't mean that these classes haven't realized the contribution of their labor. The wealthy have skyrocketed. That is the entire point of my OP.
For example, in the 1930's, the average CEO made 30X more than average worker. Now, it is 300X.
It has been an issue since the 1970's that productivity in the lower and middle class jobs have risen, but wages have remained flat. In other words, the "rich" are not earning all of the money that they make.
If those at the top of the income distribution receive far more than the value of what they create, and those at lower income levels receive less, then one way to correct this is to increase taxes at the upper end of the income distribution and use the proceeds to protect important social programs that benefit working-class households, programs that are currently threatened by budget deficits.
This would help to rectify the maldistribution of income that is preventing workers from realizing their share of the gains from economic growth.
Cons/repubs: why does this not bother you? This philosophy that people should keep every cent they make is flawed in the financial system we live in. If you are a blue collar worker, you are being robbed. It's that simple.
And, no, I have nothing agains the wealthy. They deseve to be well paid for what they do, but not nearly to this extent.
This is why libertarian ideas are dangerous.

The conservatives do care a lot which is why they embrace libertarian ideas over liberal ideas.
How long has the war on poverty through entitlements been going on? How much WORSE is the disparity now? Its time to try something different, how about empowering instead of entitling?
Yeah basically your whole OP is a red herring since your not being honest about conservatives in the first place.
Your problem is you don't like the republican approach to it....republicans want to "teach a man to fish to feed him for a lifetime" while dems want to "give a man a fish to feed him for a day"

You are oversimplyifying republicans and democrats and you know it.
cons/repubs don't mind wealth- redistribution as long as it goes to the already wealthy. Then its gawds plan. What imbeciles
