Is Growing Inequality Caused By Liberal Public Policies?

And Baltimore ranks third in the nation for the amount spent per student (over 15K/yr) , but their schools are such failures that the unemployment rate in the inner city is 40% (higher than during the Great Depression)...

The Democrats need to admit that their plan is a failure and support fixing what they already have first, since a kid that can't manage to read at a high school level has little chance of finishing college, even if tuition is free.

You think education is the cause of unemployment in inner cities? What the **** is wrong with you?

 

[JFK_USA]

Never any blame for the people who have all the economic power in this country? Wake up to the fact that we live in a plutocracy and the government does the bidding of the wealthy and connected. Opportunity is dead, economic mobility is dead, the American dream itself is dead and the billionaires and Wall Street killed it.

bullshit. Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Beyonce, A Rod, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Katie Couric, George Soros, the Koch brothers, Imelt, Trump.

anyone willing to work can make it in the USA, you losers and leeeches make me sick.

A janitor is willing to work hard, but they will never get rich. Willing to work will not make it in the US. Having opportunity to move up does.

That's why evil liberal policies like education credits (or free education) and universal healthcare give people the opportunity to be successful. They don't have to worry about crippling debt that holds people back from being successful. Liberal policies actually give a shit about people's success.

A janitor can become a supervisor, then an owner of a janitorial service.

A person willing to work can make it without liberal policies that tell him/her that he/she is too dumb to make it without govt help.

And America is THE only place that can happen? Not Canada, UK, France? Yeah okay.

What caused the inequality

1. Supply Side Economics
2. Union busting
3 Declining middle class benefits for healthcare, retirement
4. Decreased enforcement of labor laws
5 Shipping jobs overseas

All of those things were in place before Obama took office. Yet inequality is worse, not better, since he took over. How do you explain that>?

Let's see...

All those things were in place before Obama took office
Obama has been blocked from changing things
Inequality has gotten worse

Thanks Rabbi, guess you are right

How was Obama blocked from changing things when Democrats controlled Congress until 2011?

Are we forgetting that pesky Republican filibuster again Rabbi? You know...the one where Republicans required 60 votes on every piece of legislation?

The Democrats had a filibuster proof majority for most of that. How do you think they passed ACA?

That's why people risk their lives to get to France, right?

For most of what? A couple of weeks? Republicans used reconciliation three times. Do you remember for what?

Yeah, you may have a point there..... Not burning down places that could employ the people that live there might help too.....

Otherwise, just accept the fact that employers are always looking for qualified people......

Obama and The Democrats had everything in their favor from 2007-2015.....especially from 2009-2011 when they had the White House, Senate, and The House. Plus, Obama as used excessively the Executive Orders. He has not been blocked.

They did not have a filibuster proof majority to pass the ACA, they passed it with 58 votes NOT 60.

I think yes! Because all these social conflicts are always fueled by libs.
They're trying to protect their voters (all minorities, including blacks and homosexuals) but by their actions they discriminate other part of society!

Why not end our Drug War to lower our tax burden and increase social spending, Person on the Right?

So what, it is still the worst piece of legislation in the history of this country and it was passed by dems only in a very corrupt way.

So you want to legalize all drugs? would you make druggies pay for them or give them out free?

well, we do have a Commerce Clause and we could be generating revenue merely to Use capitalism for all of its worth.

So, lets see now, you want the evil capitalists to control drugs and make obscene profits from them and then you want the govt to add taxes to the price of drugs. But, how will the druggies afford their habits?

You must like big corporations and their evil CEOs.

Why not just make them free to everyone and start kids on them in the 3rd grade so they can destroy their bodies by age 12?
