Bernie: "Today the Walton family of Walmart own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of America."

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Bernie Sanders says Walmart heirs own more wealth than bottom 40 percent of Americans

of course that's an absurd lie, obviously. The heirs have only $100 billion while people
(mostly from the bottom 40%) buy $500 billion in merchandise wealth from Walmart each year!!

Sanders is a lib commie; why would anyone believe his lies??

No person - no matter what - should ever be worth that much money. It's just insane.

So it is baseless.

What are the credentials of these 600 "economists?" AA in cultural studies and a job at Taco Bell is not my idea of an "economist," sparky.

Their "credentials" are that someone told Brain there were 600 "economists" who supported what he wanted to believe. Basically, just the fact that he can "600 economists! I win!"

No other credentials required besides his desire to believe he's right and avoid any debate or thought.

The economists are listed. They have great credentials.

Listed by . . . whom? Do cite your source. Dazzle us with the incontrovertible, unarguable logic of your "600 economists", and prove to us you're not just parroting a talking point.

Why insane? Huge profits like that encourage others to develop even better products for you so they can accumulate $100 billion in wealth instead of Walmart!

As a goof liberal do you want to incentivise would-be entrepreneurs with lolly-pops??

As a goofy conservative you think it's better for 99 people to live in poverty so 1 person can be wealthy. I'd rather see the 99 getting a fair wage a live well.

The nation you're trying to create rewards few and punishes many. It demonizes poor people who work hard but are paid little. And it offers little opportunity unless you are born into wealth.

dear, why be stupid all the time?? China just switched to capitalism and instantly eliminated 40% of the world's poverty!!

Bullshit Eddie. China just created oligarchs. Their poor live as slaves to the oligarchs. Workers are committing suicide in large numbers because there are no laws to protect them from abuse.

Unbridled capitalism is every bit as deadly as unrestrained totalitarianism. Not that you would ever admit it.

. China just created oligarchs..

china has eliminated 40% of the world's poverty. 20 million do not stave to death a year any more , instead under capitalism 20 million can now buy cars, more than in the even the USA!!
Want to bet DragonLady fool liberal!!

 

[Dragonlady]

Your stats are wrong Eddie. Only 15 million cars in China. That 1 person in 10 owning a car. That doesn't even suggest that poverty had been eliminated in China.

82 million people in China live on less than $1. a day. That's more than half the population.

So you lied about capitalism wiping out poverty in China.
