CDZ The Income Inequality Charade

[jwoodie]

Just as Global Warming has been recast as a politically more saleable Climate Change, Poverty is now being recast as Income Inequality for the same purpose. With more people escaping poverty than ever before, it has become necessary to find new ways of pushing for a worldwide Socialist agenda.

What, exactly, is wrong with "income inequality?" It is popularly reported that a tiny percentage of people own a large percentage of the world's wealth, but so what? Much of that wealth is ownership of companies they started which have contributed immensely to the world's economy. Just who would be better off if Jeff Bezos didn't own all that Amazon stock?

Is income inequality really a problem in itself? Or is it just a way of appealing to people's baser emotions (e.g., envy) for political purposes?

So you're OK with Trump's base's wages stagnating?

Because that's what's been happening the past decade.

I made a better wage in the later 1970's to early eighties till the trickle down theory came around..

 

[DandyDonovan]

of course it's a problem when Jeff Bezos is making millions of dollars a day , paying very little in taxes and has employees who are on welfare.

I’m glad we’re all tired of business visas, off-shoring, illegals and neighborhoods that are too violent to allow for a good education.

Trump’s been president for a decade?

Back 30 years ago, while I was getting military pay as an E-5 I wasn't out there whining about how I was making a dollar a day while working to keep this country safe. No, I was working to better my skills so one day, I could find a better paying job. It just so happened when I turned 32 and was offered a job working avionics on the Saudi Arabian Air Force F-15s. I had to leave my country, leaving behind the constitutional protections, understanding that I needed to follow the law of the land. After 5 1/2 years of tax free income, and heavy investments, I now am in the top 10% income earners. Anyone, can do it, but it does take work, and a belief that what God's gift to you, can also make you wealthy. I have enlightened others to the secret of fortune making, but too many people would rather see the inside of the rectum, than go out and have to work...

"income equality" is a Marxist term.

Fuck Marx, he never worked a day in his life.

These liberal fuckers just have to lie, lie, lie. Biggest ass liars.

Pay gains during Trump's first year in office are the best since the Great Recession

Pay gains during Trump's first year in office best since the Great RecessionThe Employment Cost Index, a measure of salary and benefit costs, registered a 2.6 percent gain for the full year, tied for the best since 2007.That gives President Donald Trump the best wage gains since the Great Recession, easily topping any during former President Barack Obama's entire term.

How to spot a sociopath - 10 red flags that could save you from being swept under the influence of a charismatic nut job

#10) Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it!

Now watch, when I just proved him wrong, this Sociopathic event will happen next.

#5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.

#9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

Over the last decade, wages for uneducated workers have stagnated whereas compensation for highly educated people have soared. That’s the rise in income inequality. Are you OK with that anrdeanjim?

Marx worked 16-18 hours a day reasearching and writing, mostly in the basement of the British Museum. He died broke and his family barely saw him. He was a shitty father and husband but he worked hard.

Just the way both parties like it, that's why no serious effort has been made in regards to illegal immigration before now. And honestly , I'm not sure how serious Trump is because he absolutely could simply end this shut down, declare an emergency and build the damn wall or fence or whatever you call it.

Did President Trump have a base 10 years ago? Three years ago those were Obama's citizens.

Not sure spending 18 hours a day in the British Museum qualifies as work.

So you are saying that in the past decade minimum wages haven't risen? I dont give a rats ass about uneducated workers. You know why? Because that is their "CHOICE" to be uneducated. I was a minimum wage worker, but instead of whining about the pay, I entered the military and got skills. If you are a liberal twit, and dont want to find your God given gift, then you must suffer for being a "victim" of liberalism because you vote for the very people who keep you poor.

 

[Mac1958]

Today's Right is refusing to acknowledge a couple of important fundamentals about human nature.

First, within any given socioeconomic system, certain people will be better equipped to flourish materially than others. They will have the aptitudes and strengths that best match that system; they will have an upbringing that lends itself well to that system; they will possess the inner drive that is requisite for success in that system; and they will have the kind of intelligence that is best matched for that system. So, while "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" is a nice and simple platitude, it fundamentally ignores the natural constraints different people will have within any given system.

Second, the Right doesn't want to consider the possibility (fact, in my view) that a strong socioeconomic safety net functions essentially as an insurance policy against electoral revolution. A cost of doing business, as it were. Whether one likes it or not, people in the lower economic strata vote, and that won't be changing any time soon. So within any given civilization, once inequities reach a certain point, those in the top half or third or tenth have a decision to make: Is it worth it to support those who don't have the capacity to reach higher, or is the risk of electoral disaster worth having a few extra goodies?

To make things worse, the Right itself appears to lack the capacity to rationally consider these fundamentals. I can guarantee that platitudes and insults aren't going to stop what's coming.

Considering the result, not a noble venture.

Wrong Canuck boy, he never worked a day in his life.

He never built fence all day or raised walls, or anything like that at all.

The only thing he ever produced is misery.

I never blamed Trump.

But it’s been Trump’s base who have suffered the most while the highly educated have done extremely well.
