The "Acela" Economy: More Misery for Millions, More Millions for Misers

Richard (RJ) Eskow: The "Acela" Economy: More Misery for Millions, More Millions for Misers

This country has been divided into two economies. One's the economy of Wall Street and corporate Manhattan, along with Washington's thriving economy of lobbyists, politicians, ex-politicians, national security contractors, and assorted hangers-on.

Call that one the "Acela Economy," since Amtrak's Acela Express links the two urban areas.

Then there's the other economy, the one where most people live. Let's call it the "Majority's Economy." It's a catastrophe, and it's getting worse, not better. Guess which one is getting more attention and care in Washington DC?

No need to guess, we know, lol.

Do you really think misery comes from not having money and that happiness comes from having money? Because I can tell you, if you do, you're wrong.

Money cannot buy happiness. But it will help you look for it in better places.

It's really not about happiness throught money. It's about access to goods and services.

And as the gulf between rich and poor becomes wider..more and more political types become more the gatekeepers for the wealthly rather then the servants of the people.

Good point

It is the Main Street economy that actually consumes what the ACELA economy produces. You can only go so far moving money from point A to point B and making money off the transaction

 

[Flaylo]

The repugs who advocate lower taxes for the rich and cuts to programs for the poor certainly make it plain which side they're on. If those who became rich work there way up and became rich their riches are their reward, who do Repugs want to "reward" them with less taxes? Are they really that fucking stupid believe that rewarding the rich will help the jobless and poor?

Cant think of a single economy in human history where Class Warfare has lead to prosperity. Communist China? Cuba? NoKo?

Oh come now, Frank.

We ALL know that the money made by millionaires is really OUR money. Those evil greedy rich bastards have the audacity to think they should be entitled to keep what they earn.

Bastards.

The class warfare rhetoric is ENTIRELY justified and PERFECTLY VALID and LOGICAL. For we all also know that if we taxed not just the money MADE each year by the RICH bastards at 100% but also seized from them all the assets they had left AFTER paying income taxes, the crushing national debt would disappear -- uhm


never. But that's not really the point. They are rich. They are greedy. They are bastards. We must hate them.

You can't have an economy without class warfare

Everyone fights for a piece of the pie. However, some get first dibs on the pie while others fight over the crumbs

Leave it up to a fucking dickheaded dumbass like yourself to twist somebodies argument into your own little fucked up reality. Less tax cuts for the rich is not a case of the poor taking the money of the rich and in turn who do yu think the rich get their money and riches from quite literally?

 

[Liability]

If we can convince enough Americans to HATE those evil rich greedy bastards, maybe they will not stop long enough to see that 100% taxation of the evil greedy rich bastards and 100% confiscation of any remaining assets combined will not make a significant dent in our crushing dangerous national debt.

The dickhead is you you lying rancid twat.

The POINT, you fucking imbecile, is that the diseased class warfare rhetoric of douche bags like you is utterly dishonest and pointless. For even IF we took every cent away from the "rich" people, you maggot, we wouldn't come remotely close to solving much less actually addressing the true underlying problem we have.

You are envious of people who do well and you and scum sucking vampires like you therefore want to take from the rich (however you define them this week) to make up for the fact that you cannot do well for yourself on your own merits.

Obviously, therefore, THEY must "owe" you.

You leech.

"They" know things quite a bit differently than what you and dopes like you project on to "them."

Morons like you can't quite grasp that you are the ones who are wrong.

If taking every fucking penny and asset from the "rich" isn't going to fix the huge economic hole we have dug for ourselves in this Republic, then any intelligent person (thereby excluding you and Fail-low) would recognize that your rhetoric is dishonest and erroneous.

But pretend otherwise.

YOu guys are too fucked up to even admit the facts right under your noses.

LMAO there L.

Yup. We need to get those "evil", rich bastards. Why the hell should they keep any part of their hard earned money?? It belongs to all of us.

Personally I love those rich, greedy bastards. I wish there were more of them out there. I love em as they pay the majority of the Fed taxes in this country. You go richies.

If there were no "evil" rich. Guess who would be paying those taxes folks??

You got it. You me and every other middle classer out there.

As for the poor and downtrodden. I could care less. If you dont' want to be poor then get up off of your ass and make it happen. People do it every day.

If Flylo and his ilk are so concerned then they can whip out their wallets and checkbooks and take care of the poor and downtrodden. Just think. They can feel morally superior to everyone else. You go folks. Pay away.

They better stand back though because once those "poor Downtrodden" masses realize there is free money to be had a stampede will ensue. Good luck Flylo. Hope you got great footwork.
