How does “income inequality” affect your quality of life?

[Asclepias]

So now you want to move the goal posts because you just realized how much of an idiot you are for asking such a dumb question?

The analogy is 100% accurate...anybody NOT a beggar can see it.

No. The new question is has very little to do with the original retarded question you asked and I had to embarrass you on.

Oh, I’m sorry I thought you said this...
“This distinction is actually more idiotic than what I previously thought. If you can only offer $10 for some life saving medicine and I can offer $100 you will die because I have more wealth to buy the medicine you need you idiot. Its the law of supply and demand. “

I fucked up, I thought you were implying that one should not be able to afford better care and or better pharmaceuticals than the next guy. I realize now there is no fucking way you’d be that fucking stupid though. Sorry.

I did say that.

Now youre asking me if you could afford to pay a doctor to live at your beside and assuming it means you would live longer, would it mean the government should force a doctor to live with me. What in the hell does that have to do with anything? My doctor could live the city over and I could still live longer than you.

Haha...hair splitting semantics huh...I’ll play along.
Your assertion: If I can afford better medicine I may live longer than you.
My assertion: If I can afford to have a doctor live with me I may live longer than you.
Why is that so confusing for you?

I thought you beggars are always requesting that Father Government, through regulations, force the “level playing field”?

Its not confusing. It clearly shows youre an idiot though. Having a doctor living with you just means you have an extra house guest. My doctor could live 5 minutes away and give me the same or much better care than your house guest. I wonder how long is it going to take before you figure this one out?

While the middle class lises ground the wealthy rake it in even more. It's not a problem but it is what is going on.

I’ve never been able to understand how my neighbor having more and or making more than me changes the course of my life. Anybody?

3 guys go to BIG CORPORATION seeking employment.

all 3 of them are hired.

One of them gets a top paying job making 10 times the cost of living
the second one gets a good job making 2 times the cost of living
and the third one gets a low paying job making less than what it takes to live!


(are you seeing a problem yet?)

wouldn't it be nice if the lowest paid employee at least made enough to live?

Haven’t we all been down the road at least once....Simple shit...Guy #3 seeks employment elsewhere.....TA-DA!

That wont help because he couldnt afford the same education that the two other guys were able to who got the higher paying jobs.

So I ask again...
Should we all be entitled to attend charter schools, Harvard, drive Ferrari’s and live in big homes on the beach?

You never asked that question so you couldnt be asking it again. Words have meanings even if you fail to understand the differences.

"Do you believe it’s rational to think that we should all go to charter schools, Harvard....all drive Ferrari’s and live on the beach?"

Says the guy that thinks "entitled" and "rational" means the same thing. Sorry but they have different meanings and hence change the meaning of your question.

Either way the answer is yes.

The wealthy should live how they want. The working poor should also receive govt assistance. I support both. Just as I don't begrudge the rich I also support working poor. Those crybabies who cry like little babies that some poor working person gets some help....

 

[Winston]

I just love all the little pissant conservatives who loudly proclaim they don't want those poor, uneducated people taking their "stuff". When the reality is the little snot-nosed shits hardly have more than a pot to piss in. I bet one out of ten might have a hundred grand in a 401K, Maybe a handful has their little 1500 square foot house paid for. Like I said, pissants.

If you don't have a unit, you are a pissant. And not only does none of these yahoos have a unit, they don't even know what a unit is. Proof enough that they have no clue as to the rarefied air the truly wealthy actually breath. And what none of them realize is that this massive wealth inequality affects all of us. It is like a massive albatross around the neck of the economy. It stifles innovation and suffocates genius. Four percent GDP growth, freaking laughable that that is an aspiration.

My favorite stat, a young student from a family in the upper quintile of income scoring in the lowest quintile of test scores like the SAT has a better chance of attending a four year university than a student from a family in the lowest income quintile scoring in the highest. Contrast that with China, or India, where the best and brightest go to the best schools, not the wealthiest and most connected, and it is pretty easy to figure out why the are, and will continue, to kick our ass. Four percent GDP growth in China or India? Laughable.

 

[Tax Man]

I define INCOME EQUALITY AS GIVING MY MONEY TO LAZY ASSHOLES WHO WON'T WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN INCOME.

Its bad enough that they mooch off us, but now days they feel ENTITLED to mooch off us like we owe it to them.

47% of America pays no Taxes. But did you know that only 20% of Welfare Recipients ARE American Citizens?

Illegal Immigrants make up 65% of Welfare, and Legal Immigrants only make up about 15%.

Most American Citizens and most LEGAL Immigrants work for a living. Our Social Safety Net is going to collapse with the continual flooding of illegal immigrants.

I know that we are $20 trillion in debt because the mooching class refuse to pay their share.

Well get off your ass and pay your share!

If its your neighbor chances are they dont have much more or they wouldnt be your neighbor.

Income inequality affects your education, access to good medical care, living conditions, etc

How is my life impacted by him being able to pay for better education, better medical and live in a nicer home?

Getting a better education means you have access to more wealth and more knowledge. Better medical means you will most likely live longer. Nicer living conditions translates to less stress. You must not be that smart if you didnt know this already.

Do you believe it’s rational to think that we should all go to charter schools, Harvard....all drive Ferrari’s and live on the beach?

You can keep your charter schools, Harvard and ferrari's. I prefer public school, State university and a good Ford truck, An F 450 or bigger.

Who would want that? No sane person I know would choose that over their own life goals.

The distinction he is making is how does someone elses income affect you? Its like he forgot about competition along with the law of supply and demand.

Do you understand that US taxpayers pay about $243 billion in subsidies to the fast food industry every year because wages in that industry are so low workers must resort to food stamps to feed themselves and their families?

[LeftofLeft]

What other country has better “income equality” vs. US? How is that country overall economically vs. US? Finally, is there a better country in the world to be poor than the US? The current system has welfare recipients not working yet getting healthcare, food, rent, big screen TVs and cell phones.

Why then, the push for more “equal” income distribution? Why, only a socialist intent on locking in a true 1 percent and keep lying a Middle Class?
