Rising Inequality Holding Back Economic Growth, Report Warns

[EdwardBaiamonte]

If we make the American worker more productive by providing better education and investing in our infrastructure, transportation, communications, and technology we will create new and better jobs The key is productivity.

we could have 40 million new jobs tomorrow buy eliminating liberal unions, taxes, and deficits, stopping the liberal war on our families and schools, and by shipping 20 million liberal illegals home.

The liberal is like a Nazi true believer. When Berlin is being bombed he still beleives his status quo is right!

oh brother. Blame Obama that is happening. his strapping another Government Entitlement on our backs sure as hell had to help. He's raised taxes on anything the moves, new regulations out the ass to raise monies to feed that MONSTER of a Government..

so put the blame right square in his lap

I wouldn't believe anything out of ABC news if it came notarized on their tongues. same for CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. all DNC propaganda sites. this is precisely what you hear from all of the Democrats so they can fearmonger you into voting for them

Offering the masses a benefit is one way to shrink the income gap. If poor people get free healthcare then the gap between them and the rich isn't so wide.

But Republicans just made the gap wider with Trumps new tax bill.

Lets look at Trump's new tax cut bill.

As a result, the Tax Policy Center predicts that in 2027, the average tax cut would amount to $160, or just a 0.2 percent income bump.

This would mean a tiny tax bump for many lower- and middle-class households — the average $50,000 to $75,000 — earning household would have a tax bill that is $30 higher than today. The average household earning more than $1 million would get a cut of more than $23,000.

So Republicans shouldn't be surprised the rich are getting richer and the middle class is getting poorer. Don't blame Obama when it's policies like this that are creating this gap.

The income gap has zero effect on the economy as long as the rich end gets richer. It might if the poor get poorer but they won’t since there will be more jobs.

Good jobs or just jobs?

Have you seen what millennials are dealing with? 300x more student debt than we had. They project that they won't be able to retire until they are 75 years old.

GOOD! I'm glad. They didn't vote or even worse they voted for Trump. Lets see him make America great for them like he promised. The only ones he's making America great for as far as I can tell are rich people.

.

further crippling folks with more welfare is a bad idea and makes the problem worse, Best idea is to force them to take advantage of free education and graduate from HS.

middle class got poorer because idiotic liberal incentives (unions and highest taxes in world) shipped their jobs off shore. We must make all business taxes and unions illegal again.

Let me explain how this tax plan is going to widen the gap twice.

First the tax scheme is way better for the rich. They get lots you get peanuts.

But then a couple years from now they’ll tell you we are broke and have to cut your social security and Medicare. Watch dummy. You’ll die broke

This whole stupid income inequality lie is based on a false premise. That premise is that wealth is finite. Left wing nutters actually believe that if someone is wealthy, it prevents you from being wealthy. They are stupid enough to think that there is only so much wealth so if someone has a lot then they can't ever get it. It's an excuse for their failures. Blame someone else, that's what left wing nutters and parasites do.

How does that relate to income inequality? Well it allows them to blame the rich for the problem. That way they don't have to look in the mirror to see who's responsible for their lack of wealth. The reason the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer is....

...now pay attention here because this is important....

...because the rich keep doing what made them rich and the poor keep doing what made them poor.

Add to that obama's failure in economic policy and the decades long effort by the left to make poverty a permanent fixture, and there you have it; income inequality.

No charge for the education.
You're welcome.

No, the premise is fact and the fact is the income growth of the wealthy far exceeds that of the poor and middle class. Of course, you probably think that's just OK but consider this.

In a society where there is a huge and growing income disparity, either society must placate the poor or deal with the inevitable results, disease, violence and insurrection. In our society we choose to placate the poor with all types of goverment aid programs. In other words, we keep their bellies full and a roof over their head and they won't burn down our cities and towns.

Republicans will say tough. There are jobs available. Go get one. I sort of see their point. You want to keep them on the government dime republicans want them to go get jobs.

We lost the election. We have to try it their way. We are close to zero unemployment. People who’ve given up need to get back out there. But they are going to be tough jobs to start. That’s how I got started. Factory jobs then eventually waiter jobs then sales jobs.

Go get a job you’ll feel better

When you send high paying manufacturing jobs overseas you widened the gap

When you let illegals come do jobs Americans won’t do you widen the gap

When you give the rich and corporations huge tax cuts

When you get rid of the billionaire estate tax

You create an elite class too powerful. The Paris Hilton’s will rule.

Probably one of the biggest misconceptions is that the poor do not work; that is, they prefer to sit home and collect the big bucks from welfare. For years, republicans have created and spread the illusion of the welfare queen who sits in front of her big TV waiting for the next welfare check. The simple fact is that the majority of adults on welfare have one or more jobs. Single moms are 55% of the welfare recipients. 13% are over 65.

The problem is these people do no make enough money to support themselves and their family. Would cutting benefits give them incentive to find a second job or a better job. Yes, in some cases but who is going take care of the kids or their senile mother or their drug addicted husband. Would the 30% who are disable find jobs? Some would. However, you have to consider the consequences. What happens to all those don't find more work? What happens to kids?

What we should be doing is creating jobs that the structural employed, the disabled, the single moms, the menially handicapped, the unskilled, and uneducated can actually do. The jobs we hope will come out of the big tax breaks for business are not going to be those kind of jobs. There're going to be jobs for the skilled workers, jobs for people with drive and ambition, jobs for people with a background of success, not people that have been failures most of their life.
