"We need to redistribute wealth among Americans" WTF...why does this always sound so retarded to me?

[Thinker101]

The right wing has a problem with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, so more people will be able to pay, more taxes.

What a greedy bastard you are. So long as you are waving magic wands and creating wages from thin air why not 1000.00 per hour. Selfish prick.

Should I stop complaining and become a CEO?

In between 1978 and 2014, inflation-adjusted CEO pay increased by almost 1,000%, according to a report released on Sunday by the Economic Policy Institute. Meanwhile, typical workers in the U.S. saw a pay raise of just 11% during that same period.--http://fortune.com/2015/06/22/ceo-vs-worker-pay/

You may want to start out slow, quit complaining and get a job.

I always find this narrative fascinating....The top 1% of wage earners already pay 45% of all income tax paid and 45% of American's pay no income tax at all.
That said, how is the notion that our most productive positive contributors owe more manifested?
Why is it never said that we have too many bottom feeders stealing from the middle class and how does that not make more sense to sane rational folks? Take the $100 billion we spend on illegal beaners every year...what if we diverted that cash alone and funneled it through the hands of the middle class and REAL Americans?

Oh Danny...if your 45 year old uncle Jose made $15 per hour after deductions for his wife Guadalupe and their five anchor babies he would have a 0% effective tax rate and would qualify for EIC.
He would however pay lots of sales tax on the loads of Tapatio, Bud Light and Los Angeles Dodger gear he buys.

Nobody wants to take their money away and give it to poor people

But why do we continue policies that encourage the wealthy to accumulate and maintain more wealth?

They obviously don't need it

Give it to the government because they are soooooooooo good with financial matters.

Thirty years ago we sold out to Supply Side Economics. Put more money in the hands of the wealthy and watch the prosperity trickle down to all

Never happened. They just keep the money

Why continue a failed policy?

If you were smart enough that would be the answer...so I guess no in your case. When you own or run a company you set your own wages so long as you can keep it profitable. Nice gig if you can get it. But if you cant dont whine. it's unattractive.

There is nothing that works here.

The idea that you need a minimum wage is worth discussing.

And you quickly realize that setting a minimum wage is stupid.

What you need is to quit using government to prop up big business so the little guys can get in on the action.

Government is big business's best friend when it comes to creating barriers to entry.

Supply side worked quite well.

Big business managed to insert themselves in the government and managed to garner a lot of that money.

Get government out of the way so business's have to compete.

Everyone would be better off except 1% like Trump, Obama, Clintons and Lizzy Warren (who gets paid 350,000 to each one class).

Minimum wage has worked for 80 years

Allowing employers to exploit a low skilled workforce is stupid

By "supply side" they mean "freedom", "capitalism", 'American business practices" etc etc as far as they mean anything at all. Ask one of the idiots to oppose and contrast it within a Keynsian framework..or Demand management Theory. You will get a "duuhhh..I was told to say supply side".

Supply side worked very well for the one percent. Business made more money but didn't pass it down to the workers

For working Americans it was a disaster. Stagnant wages and overall loss of family wealth

I would gladly put more wealth in the hands of working Americans. They actually put it back into the economy instead of shipping it overseas

Just remember this when the libtards start bitching that there isn't enough money for the poor.

The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America's 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

The War on Poverty Has Cost $22 Trillion - NCPA

The sad part is the percentage of people in poverty today is the same as it was prior to those trillions being spent.

Trusting the government with our money is a failed policy.

Ever hear of the National debt, Social security, medicare, or the Tax Code as examples?

End the drug war, right wingers.

And, capitalism is about ability to pay. Only the right wing never gets, due to all of their socialism on a national basis.

Yes please end the war on drugs, since liberals love to do drugs and many of them are killing themselves, what better way to eliminate the opposition(Marxist) party than by self suicide.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

It sounds retarded because it is retarded.

Trickle down is income, redistribution. Only the right wing, never gets it.

Trickle down is a liberal term, because liberals have no clue about economics. Dumbass.

Why don't you ask why Ronald Reagan gave the 1% more of the working class' earnings? That was the biggest redistribution of wealth in world history.

Reagan promised that his tax cuts to the wealthy would "trickle down" to the working classes but it never happened. Instead, American wealth trickled up to the 1%.

Before Reagan's tax cuts and war on unions, working class Americans had equity and savings. That's been wiped out. Now the working poor need social assistance just to put food on the table.

Why do conservatives never talk about this transfer of wealth?

The trickle down involves those on the lower end actually doing something rather than expecting it to trickle for simply breathing and existing.
