The Landscape of Inequality, & Why President Warren will fix it

[Sun Devil 92]

brothers and sisters: if individual CEOs or Wall Street traders actually add $30 million to the economy with their work, then we have additional output that corresponds to their $30 million annual income. They but if they add less than $30 million, then their income comes to some extent at the expense of the rest of us.

In the extreme case, where the highly paid CEO or Wall Street trader adds nothing to the economy’s output, they are in an identical situation to a counterfeiter or Ponzi Schemer. Their income is a pure drain on the economy, which must come out of the pockets of the rest of us

we cant let that happen anymore, my friends!

Value is what people will pay for.

You have no way of identifying this as right or wrong in the choices people make.

You really think you are smart enough to legislate this.

Awww stop crying. Its fucking embarrassing.

Why the FUCK do you care what some businessman makes? Its none of your goddamned business what someone else makes. Live your own life and keep your fucking nose out of others.

Asshole

pushing down the incomes of the rich is not a question of vindictiveness, but it is a necessary condition for creating the possibility of broadly based wage growth, my friends

So limiting the wages of Athletes and Movie Stars would stop the income inequality of those, because the tickets to see these elites is extreme, while the ticket holders are just above minimum wage? Maybe more low income people could see them if they didnt charge such a high salary?

A basic point of economic theory that economists don’t like to talk about is that reducing the rents going to a high-income person is a gain for the rest of us. This is a crucial point, since it is necessary to recognize that policies designed to reduce the incomes of high-end earners are not just a matter of being gratuitously nasty to those who were lucky enough to be successful. Whether or not these policies are nasty, it is important to recognize that the money enjoyed by these high-end earners comes from somewhere; it is not manna from heaven. And where it comes from is the pockets of the rest of us

The defenders of the status quo benefit enormously, but regular folks not so much

a shift in the profit share back to pre-recession levels as a result of tighter labor markets would certainly be good news for ordinary workers. that's why we need to vote for Warren.

So, rent controls?
I wouldn't benefit from rents being controlled.

Whether or not these policies are nasty, it is important to recognize ….

That they also distort the market.

Does Warren want to help workers by booting illegal aliens?
Because it sounds like her policies will give us a looser labor market.​

If a trader at Morgan Stanley is overpaid at $30 million, how does that come at your expense?
Be as specific as you can.

Here's a little exercise I like to give to my leftist friends like yourself.

Everytime you call for higher taxes instead of saying "Tax the rich" substitute "Give more money to the politicians" because that is exactly what it is. Taxes go to the federal government and the politicians control the money. Try this little exercise my friend and let us know the results.

dont taxes pay for services?

Taking money from one group to give it to another is not a service.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Warren does have an electoral advantage over Sanders in calling herself a capitalist as opposed to a socialist. Her speeches are also less of a looping tape.

Because nobody believes that she is a capitalist. Chief Brown Bottom is a communist through and through, just like Bernie.

I think I see the problem here. Basque thinks people are successful because they are lucky.

Sure, there are always the Hunter Bidens of the world born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but for the most part, people are successful through a combination of ability and desire. Socialism always sounds great to those who possess neither, but there is nothing implicit in the notion of equality that guarantees outcome. We are equal before the law, but you just cannot legislate success.

“Dear Senator, I am writing to request information on your goals as President, and how all of these policies are feasible. I am over 80 years old, and my grandchildren support you, so I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. Sincerely, Larry”. - Letter to Sen Warren

well, SHE HAS A PLAN FOR THAT!

see her website and this thread for all the info!

Socialists Murder People in the name of Equity.

Hitler killed 20 Million
Stalin killed 60 Million
Mao Killed 100 million.
Democrats killed 60 Million babies so far
And Warren and her comrades will kill more than all of them Combined.

After all they promised us Gulags and Concentration Camps and The Guillotine!

this is a different type of socialism. its a nice socialism. it comes with a smile, and no one gets killed.

It's a complete fabrication.
Socialism is socialism. When it's *successful* people die in the most awful ways. Starvation and genocide being the two most prevalent.

Warren is not in favor of massive legal and illegal immigration?


I find that very hard to believe. Link please.

Mao and Stalin were communists, Adolf Hitler was a racist fascist swine. Communism and Nazism are dictatorships, socialism is always Democratic Fair capitalism with a good safety net like every other modern country but us. Thanks GOP. You are totally misinformed. Poor America

my friends, the rise of the social welfare state will be the inevitable consequence of the declining power of the plutocratic elite.

it has not yet transpired that the past inequality devours the future wealth of the elites, but we're getting there

You have the mindset aka......ignorance of some idealistic college freshman who has been enthralled by some leftwing professor and thoroughly indoctrinated....in a nutshell--quite pathetic.

Can you tell me of one nation anywhere in the world where Socialism has actually worked?

On what basis do you claim that socialism is democratic fair capitalism? What professor was it who filled your head with this garbage?
