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

[EvilCat Breath]

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.

There's your problem. We ARE. Survival of the fittest, even the financial fittest. The poor will always spend their money on what feels good. They have no impulse control. Give them a windfall and they will buy a new car, rent a bigger apartment, have some retail therapy at the mall. In a remarkably short time, they are as poor as they ever were.

There was an experiment with young children. Children were offered free lollipops. They could get one lollipop a day or get no lollipops a day and at the end of the week they would get 14 lollipops, twice as many as if they got daily lollipops. Some children did wait. Some children did not. At the end of a week when the children who had gotten no lollipops all week got 14, the other children, who could not wait complained. It was unfair of those who had twice as many lollipops to not share and give some to the others who had none. And that's why poor people will always be poor.

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

Apparently it is. Both Left and Right.

Do you think that the above mentioned (Pelosi, AOC and the like), are your typical honest wealthy people who are risking everything to make in your words a "chunk of coin" ??? Does the word income inequality fit when talking about the differences in who is holding the wealth and power between these two types of group's or individual's mentioned in this post ??

Sure, there is income inequality, always has been and always will be. Some rich people are honest and hard-working and some are not, nothing new there. The question becomes what to do about it. How do you distinguish between the two groups in a court of law where you are presumed innocent until proven otherwise? True, the system we have now kinda sucks, but I don't see any possible way to change it for the better. Why? Cuz whatever your new system is will still be run by human beings.

Sort of like “the ant and the grasshopper.”

Some plan for the future by working hard and preparing for the future, saving resources for a rainy day. Others frolic around, having a relaxing time. Then, the rain comes, and the slacker cries to the responsible worker to share his resources,

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.

Absolutely... For year's we have been groomed with lies that poverty and lawlessness go hand in hand together (not true totally). Yes poverty does create weaknesses that if a devil gets a chance at exploiting the weaknesses caused by poverty, then there is always a chance of producing unstable individual's if the devil's or demon's are allowed to remain amongst the impoverished for to long, otherwise without proper monitoring of the village by monitors who can remove those elements from amongst the villages before it's to late.

The demons or devil's are easily seen by their actions, and by their grooming of those who are vulnerable in a state of poverty if no standards or protections exist.

Most are or have been subjected to poverty at some point or another in life, and if they live within an unprotected unsecured situation, then the breakdown of the individual or family structure is inevitable unless Christian values hold in families that are strong in that way.

Familyism Is Even More Primitive Than Tribalism

The worst examples of getting money without earning it are through trust funds and inheritances. Americans are programmed to refer to less important and less harmful examples.

Proverbs 13:22 says: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous” (ESV) Bible Hub+1. This verse is a timeless reminder about legacy, values, and the lasting impact of how we live.

That’s not free?

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.

I said, take money out!!!!!!

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.

There’s no such thing when money exists in the system

Do you think that you are somehow schooling me or something ??
Laughing now

If you only knew who you were talking too, I think you would re-think your word's considering your positions taken as if you are a teacher here.

Key word - Goodman... Many consider themselves Goodmen in the justification of many thing's that don't fit a Goodman's profile, but somehow they attempt to consider themselves Goodmen regardless of what they are trying to justify.

 

[LibertyWeeps]

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.

True. But in order to facilitate any of the processes needed to create equality........we'd have to destroy consumerism, capitalism, and freedom.

I'm leaving an inheritance for my kids, which they will no doubt share with their kids. I'm a pretty good guy if I do say so meself.

Not sure if me and you are on the same page or what, but it's ok, because not many follow along due to being blinded by worldlyness as it pertains to one thing or another.

 

[beagle9]

That's great, and hopefully they will honor and respect what you will have done for them in such regards. We see so often these day's where our relatives are not like we are, and what's really sad is children becoming ensnared by the evil one although they came out of a great family structure.

Empowering evilness with blind inheritance that ends up being some sort of last narcissist play before leaving this life has been yet another bad attribute or character flaw that we as humans fight within.

 

[beagle9]

True. But in order to facilitate any of the processes needed to create equality........we'd have to destroy consumerism, capitalism, and freedom.

Not looking for equality in outcomes, but I'm focusing on character, and how the doors are swung open for bad character's who are then infiltrating the system's that then empower their evil character in ways that end up hurting not only their own families, but the wealth is then used to hurt an entire generation.

Character analysis is a very important thing, but the guide line's should be based upon proven Godly attributes and moral standards in order to promote better outcomes in a supposed civilized society.

Well someone said it’s what we get for free. I’m waiting for the alternative

Those producing products that the working masses buy want people to buy the products. Which group is more sinful?

Actually more like make all humans equal in mental and physical abilities.
No bell curve, just a flat line.

How could we do that? People are NOT equal.

You win the prize.
That is my point.

For consideration, "Welcome to the Monkey House", Kurt Vonnegut;

"Harrison Bergeron" is a satirical dystopian science-fiction short story by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in October 1961. Originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, the story was republished in the author's Welcome to the Monkey House collection in 1968.

Plot​

In the year 2081, the United States Constitution dictates that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. This is due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments. Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, and her agents enforce the equality laws by forcing citizens to wear "handicaps" such as ugly masks for those who are too beautiful, earpiece radios for the intelligent that broadcast irritating noises meant to disrupt thoughts, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.
