Since 2009, 88 Percent Of Income Growth Went To Corporate Profits, 1% Went to Wages

[AVG-JOE]

You have to ask yourself if government taking money away the rich people is the best way to increase the number of people who have enough money to buy shit.

No I don't.

What I have to do is I have to demand fair taxes through a simple tax code and a budget that's balanced by law.

My good conscience will allow nothing less.

How will a simpler code and a balanced budget make the inequality less?

Simple taxes and a budget balanced by law will end two thirds of the corruption that's choking our free market economy in the form of tax favoritism. Ending the role of mercenary lobby firms that solicit our representatives in the greasiest manner possible for a fee will take care of the other third.

We, The People can fuck with spending and regulations until we're blue in the face and we'll just continue spinning our economic wheels in the mud of favoritism.

Fair and simple taxes and a budget that's balanced by law will remain the frustratingly elusive and easy answer.

She pays MORE THAN HE DOES in ALL TAXES. JFC you people are thick. Whatever kind they are! jfc. Foxbots, Pub Dupes whatever...LOL!

 

[francoHFW]

Rich people, after 30 years of Voodoo, have money coming out of their EARS!! They gave up hiring ANYBODY about 25 years ago!! Idiocy!! They're totally out of touch with average workers and spend all their time outsourcing and busting unions and anyone else with a good job. Breaking news for dittoheads, Foxbots, and Pubdupes...LOL

I love it.

First we have Think Progress, which means they are probably misrepresenting the study they are citing, then it turns out that the study the cite does not even exist.

That is remarkable chutzpah even for them.

The topic is still relevant though, no?

10% of the population controlling 90% of the wealth is unnatural and evolution will achieve a balanced bell curve in time. Pray it's achieved through negotiation this time - the last correction back in the 1930's brought down a shit load of the planets infrastructure.

humm how do we account for the European meltdown then? they are clearly re-distributionist using top down gov. mandates for everything from no. hours a worker can work to how many pharmacies are allowed in a city, extremely generous welfare and entitlement benefits etc?

I think the government should employ fair taxes and a budget balanced by law instead of micromanaging the economy via the tax code.

A by-product of the current micromanagement is our unnaturally skewed distribution of wealth curve which has fed and grown on its own corruption into the American Political Lobby Industry, an industry worth billions that makes nothing.

This corruption will end and the curve will strike a balance; the longer we put off fair taxes and a budget balanced by law, the bigger the quake.

"She pays MORE THAN HE DOES in ALL TAXES"

Damn, you're a moron.

The taxes he pays are multiples of what she earns.

Were you always this stupid, or did you have to be dropped on your head multiple times?

Europe is just like Barney Frank and Freddie Mac- They were doing great until they got in on the Pub Pub Mortgage Boom- and BUST.

I can't believe someone as stupid as you is allowed to cancel my vote

 

[boedicca]

Europe wasn't doing great...it's been propped up by the U.S. for decades. They spend virtually nothing on national defense, and use the saving to supporting their crumbling welfare states. Now, with declining birth rates, their just aren't enough native born young workers to support the promised benefits...and hence, riots.

As Margaret Thatcher so aptly noted: The problem with Socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

You get my nomination for one of the Worst Noobs of 2011, you pathetic moron.

 

[The Rabbi]

There's no upward pressure on wages, no surprise that there's almost no income growth there. Companies pared down expenses to maximize profits, no surprise there either. Would you feel better if they were less profitable?

If it moves, tax it. If it still moves, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.

The OP is full of shit, typical class warfare crap from ThinkProgress. Those people just need to be shot.

That's not what you said, moron.

And it's still a lie.

You'd think the US would get the clue. They have a better quality of life, while we spend everything on the military industrial complex.

How many Muslims rioting have you seen in the U.S? How many in Paris and London? OK, they dont have a better life. Whatever they have is left over from rebuilding after WW2 and better policies that largely ended in the 1960s. They were able to skimp on military spending because Uncle was there to protect them from the Soviets. Now their own financial systems are wrecks.
I don't see millions of Americans moving to Europe but I see lots of Europeans wanting to moev here. Maybe you're the one who needs to get a clue?

I don't think you'll find many Europeans who want to move here. They like to visit because their euro goes so far on our cheap dollar, though.
Plenty of rich Americans are buying homes in Europe...many of them are republicans.

Ah there it is. You complain about government, but your answer to solve it is government spending.

And pray tell what are going to build up their defense for? No really some make-believe villian that wants to take over the world?

HAhahahahhahahahahaah what a loser.

China must love you.
