Zone1 Income inequality can be a a real thing.....

[Lisa558]

That’s $24,000 a day! Who can afford that?

OOPSIE! $1000 a month, obviously.

First, who says that business owners are millionaires? Most are Mom and Pop shops.

Second, the employee is always free to leave if he thinks his market value is greater elsewhere. His choice.

I myself once took a job that paid $10,000 less than what I could get elsewhere. But it was a 10-minute walk from my home.

Lisa, that dude is a troll.

Not sure you’d understand

Huh !!

Not that i care what they make off the rubes but the first thing I thought of was not the Musk or Bezos types but the "influencers", bloggers, and other assorted thots and shysters people willingly give money to....Even criminals if you count Go Fund Me.

LOL....Remember when all that was pretty much confined to the Jim and Tammy Fay Baker types?

The influencers are getting chump change. But how nice for you that you care more about the little people willingly paying influencers, and ignore the oligarchs who get billions, and pay no taxes on that money.

Musk is getting millions of dollars PER DAY. His companies have $38 billion in federal contracts, most within the past 5 years. SpaceX receives $8 million PER DAY, in federal money.

Bezo's companies hold $20 billion in federal contracts, including "cloud services" to the federal government.

Those who refuse to see how the oligarchs are reaping huge profits from the federal government - all while pay zero in federal income taxes, are truly being robbed in plain sight.

But keep worrying about influencers who are making $6 figures from their fans and ignoring the oligarchs making billions.

The federal government should be forced by taxpayer's to get the hell off of these elites payrolls, otherwise where the money in kickbacks or in paybacks in special ways have become a huge conflict of interest between the two.

It's really sad how this stuff has progressed since the early sixties, and how it has been almost normalized in every operation at the top levels of our government in connection with our elite.

Which won't happen as long as we keep giving them our votes for free.

 

[beagle9]

It's why we voted for Trump, but without the arrest of these evil bastards soon, it may have all been for nothing.

I will say that Trump has really stirred the pot up, but we need to see arrest being made.

What are we supposed to get?

 

[MarathonMike]

We have a society of savers and spenders.

Yes but heavy on the spenders, light on the savers.

Doesn’t explain why everyone wants to come here

Let's keep this simple...

How can we as a nation support total idiots making millions of dollar's in incomes, and then negatively affecting this nation by way of the power and influence they are gaining from that income ?

When I see total idiots making upwards of 7 figures in incomes I have to ask, how is that possible today ?????
Have we lost our ability to discern between the differences in merit/professional behaviour verses pure BS ???

Look at the crazy that has taken place in this country by allowing crazy people to gain power by way of gains in income that doesn't meet the quality expectation that should be required of the individual's before receiving the gross amounts in incomes they are receiving ???

Losing our ability to use standards and the assessment of character in order to gauge whether or not a person is qualified by character (not necessarily education or skill set), but by being a type of person that is on a level in character that will be a positive influence in society, as well as in government if so chose that path in life.

The greedy and ignorant foolishly believe anyone getting rich by providing goods and services that benefit others must be wicked. The greedy and ignorant do not understand the realities of prosperous economies and cling to bad ideas that have kept most of the world's population stuck in poverty and lawlessness.

My county has median income 30% higher than the national average yet lawlessness prevails.

Lawlessness is caused by sin, not diversities of income.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Lawlessness is caused by sin, not diversities of income.

I agree.
But you just associated lawlessness with poverty.

 

[markef]

I agree.

Lawlessness is caused by sin, not poverty. Poverty is not caused by wealth inequality but can be aggravated by efforts to redistribute everyone's earnings among the worthy and the unworthy, thus destroying the fabric of good economies.

They have what others want and challenge the judges and prosecutors to lock them up. Most often the sentences aren’t deterrents and invites other solicitors in. It remains the revolving door justice

 

[initforme]

We focus too much on work and being productive...time to lessen expectations.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It's not about wealth being generated as based upon capitalism and/or the merit system being in place for the purpose of good..... I'm talking about the exploitation of a system that allowed individual's to aquire their wealth in such a system that was supposed to be based upon merit and hard work. The system itself is A-ok, but when bad infiltrates that system, and uses it to generate wealth for evil purposes, then that's when we end up with a broken system.

An evil generation using the same system good people use, and then doing so in order to aquire wealth by way of that system, otherwise when it doesn't consider that evil using it is a serious problem.

This is when idiots end up with wealth that they never deserved because their usage of the system became perverted by them, and this is because they knew it was blind to them when they exploited it.

Here is your problem. No matter how much money your hypothetical has, he will lose it all to some evil rich person because that is just how the world works.

 

[beagle9]

What are we supposed to get?

Reps that represent honestly, and with integrity. Is that really so hard these day's ?? Hmmm.

Well when we have a system that is grooming and producing a pathetic class of gullible humans like we are witnessing these day's, the study becomes more about reading the signs of the times, and then applying the signs to the thousands of year's of on point prophecies written in the scriptures that has warned of these thing's.

Wake up sinners, and repent of thy ways for the signs of the times are being revealed once again to those who take heed, and do believe, although their are many who have been ensnared by the trickery of the one that has been banned, escape is not yet an impossible task.

Sort of like the natural laws that exist on the African Savannah with all the diverse creatures there eh ?? However, we are not animals subject to the laws of an African savannah, and therefore we are given position within the higher archy of God's creation, and we should act like it.
