Immigrant Nobel Prize winner says GOP led American inequality is a disgrace and stupid...

The message is straightforward. Only a few decades ago, the middle class and the poor weren’t just receiving healthy raises. Their take-home pay was rising even more rapidly, in percentage terms, than the pay of the rich.
The post-inflation, after-tax raises that were typical for the middle class during the pre-1980 period — about 2 percent a year — translate into rapid gains in living standards. At that rate, a household’s income almost doubles every 34 years. (The economists used 34-year windows to stay consistent with their original chart, which covered 1980 through 2014.)
In recent decades, by contrast, only very affluent families — those in roughly the top 1/40th of the income distribution — have received such large raises. Yes, the upper-middle class has done better than the middle class or the poor, but the huge gaps are between the super-rich and everyone else.

That's what 50 years of liberalism will do for a country.

The Nobel peace prize doesn't mean shit any more. It was totally degraded when they gave it to Obama for being Black and then denied Trump when he actually brokered a Middle East peace agreement. Let's just say it was a nice idea that totally outlived its usefulness.

The top tax rate under Eisenhower was 90%, 70% under Kennedy, then Reagan made it 28% and we don't have enough money to invest in America, Ignoramus.

Giving money to the government is not "investing." It's pissing money into the sewer.

The Democrats are the party of corruption, fool.

Those countries pay 60% of their income in taxes. They live in apartments that are 1/3 the size of an average American house. They can't get a job and move out of their parent's house until they are in their 30s. Not everyone goes to college. If you don't qualify, they force you to go to trade school. Their homes don't have dishwashers or air conditioning. Man of them can't afforde a car.

We are by far the richest country in the world and also the most savage unfair capitalism in the modern world thanks to the scumbag lying GOP.

Never because that is dumb. Reaganism is killing the country now , just ridiculously rich tools everywhere....Because of our natural resources we have it made....

The US did not become wealthy because of natural resources. Russia has abundant natural resources, but it isn't rich. How do you explain that?

You fucking commies keep using the same excuses you're been using for over 100 years.

Was that before you bleeding heart fools imported 40 million thirdworlders to destroy poor and middle class wages and income opportunities?

Free your mind from your garbage propaganda memes, this is about the national tax rates the GOP has given us the last 40 years, a flat tax system that is a giveaway to the rich and a screw job for everyone else.....

We have no flat tax but we need one.

Use your mind rather than regurgitating fiction
