That is NOT the reason the rich are rich. There were super rich before the Fed genius. In fact most of human history has a record of the rich being above the masses.you think the rich should have all the rights, i think we should just kill them all , and then we all would be free of them
I just want to end the Fed, man. The reason the rich are rich and the middle class are poor is because the rich are the first people to receive all of that freshly printed money from the Fed and they're the ones who get to insert it into the economy. These, of course, are the special interests and their lobbyists. While the middle class get hit with the inflation tax and stagnant wages.

Ya know what barely existed before the Fed?
The middle class. Partly because the Fed which has prevented the Depressions that plagued us about every 10 years prior to its existence
Yeah. I suppose licking one pair of boots is no different than licking a dozen pair. Licking boots is licking boots, no matter how a feller spins it.
Okay, then, scratch the Monarchy, as a backup.

The best indicator of the gap is wage stagnation. Before 1971, the middle class were doing great and the 1 percenters were doing awful. Then, in 1971 when the feds flipped monetary policy full steam, the 1 percenters started doing great while the middle class wages stalled and became stagnant, while they got hit with the inflation tax. And they're still getting hit with it.
So, stagflation has been the burdon placed upon the middle class.
Depends on your ammo supply I reckon.
That's why I'm running for Emperor.
All you will get from me is liberty.

^^ Guy is finally figuring out that rich are richer than the poor, and passes this as some sort of genius insight.
The most severe depressions have been under fed's watch. In fact, fed is one of the primary architect of 1940's depression, fueling a bubble with cheap credit.
Do the Nordic countries have a problem with millions of Mexicans and South Americans crossing their borders and taking advantage of free stuff?

Here's the reason why we did so well before 1971.
Because after WWII, we were the only country with standing industrial infrastructure.
Wow, I always love hearing the crazy that comes out of the mouths of people who think that the Fed is a shadowy organization run by Lizard People.
Here's the reason why we did so well before 1971.
Because after WWII, we were the only country with standing industrial infrastructure. The rest of the industrialized world was in ruins or had lost their colonial empires and easy access to cheap resources.
SO, yeah, if you were a middle class white American (It still kind of sucked to be a minority, even in those halcyon days) without a college education, you could do what my Dad did. Join a union, learn a trade, and bring home a nice middle class salary.
Then a few things happened. First, all those other countries built themselves back up and became our economic equals, to the point where they beat us on price and quality. Meanwhile a lot of those labor intensive jobs got replaced by machines.
Now, if we were smart, we'd have invested in infrastructure and education to meet the challenge. But, um, no, we had Republicans getting dumb white people like you blame minorities and gays and feminists for your woes...
We have been on a downward spiral for over a hundred years, thanks to Career politicians/deep state.The Nordic model gets discussed quite a bit. It's seriously discussed in many right-wing think tanks, for the most part, believe it or not.
If I ran a socialist monetary policy, which we do have in the Keynesian system we have now, the next logical step would be something like what the Nordics did, since the Keynesian model is designed to fail. And we see it failing. Our dollar is now worth precisely 4 cents and we're trillions of dollars in debt as a result of it. Remember that Marx never even attempted to explain how the State would ''wither away" after the "dictatorship of the proletariat" commenced. He had no answer, because it was just assumed. Of course, we see how that worked out, right?
The Nordic model would serve that purpose, though. Well, it would serve that purpose if I were a Keynesian who happened to be in big trouble sooner than later as a consequence of my doomed to failure monetary policy.
I've been kind of annoyed at the recent popularization of the term "Our Democracy"...like it's a form of government we run, or something. Both sides spew that fodder routinely as of the last year. It's like they're kind of subliminally programming people for the inevitable tyranny.
You are Delusionalyou do know that the nordic nations have two qualities they are some of the best places to start a business and they rank very high for technological and business innovation start up are rampant in scandanavia.. does that sound like a society booged down or dependent, go visit see how wrong you areTo quote (mostly) another poster here:
A strong safety net is insurance against a social revolution.
The libertarianism-consumed Right just doesn't see that. It doesn't understand that. Nor does it want to.
I'm going to say something nice about my conservative brethren here.
When you have multiple generations on the government dole who never learned how to work, you really are creating more of a problem than you are solving.
The Safety Net shouldn't become a hammock.
Lolyou think the rich should have all the rights, i think we should just kill them all , and then we all would be free of themBenito Mussolini wasnt that bad
Ha. Sure, they could have some unimportant freedoms under Benito. They could own property, for example. Just so long as the collective didn't need that property.
They liquidated the debt after WWII, Joe. K?
Of course not there’s an ocean between them, but if there wasn’t they would have a wall for sureDo the Nordic countries have a problem with millions of Mexicans and South Americans crossing their borders and taking advantage of free stuff?
