When a republican knows he can't argue with facts he does the only thing he knows how. Call me a moron if you want but reality will still be what it is.Moron.Republicans in power want you to think income inequality isn't a problem therefore NONE OF THEM will even acknowledge it. No republican will ever come up with policies to fix it. Ever. They are scumbags. If you vote republican, you are an idiot.
It has serious consequences for our economy and our quality of life:
1) This is a consumption-based economy. It thrives on consumer spending. It relies on a strong middle class that is spending money on the market. If the middle class continues to shrink as it is, economists warn of more economic crises.
2) Our terrible healthcare system will continue to flounder. Right now only the middle and upper class can afford basic cancer treatment for instance. Do you think private drug companies give a shit the poor can't afford many of their products? Of course not. All the money they stand to make is in the upper classes. They make plenty of profit without poor people buying their products. That is the huge flaw in our privately run healthcare system. Having state of the art of technology doesn't mean jack shit if millions of people can't afford it.
Now of course cons on here will inevitably respond by saying "well poor people just need to find a new job! Derp, derp, derp!"
WAGES ARE TOO LOW. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT SHITTY PAYING JOBS.
Yeah. It will still be the exact opposite of what you say it is
