The largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world...

That problem stems from the fact that politicians need 100s of thousands and millions of dollars to run a campaign. That money largely comes from the big dogs. Campaign finance reform is necessary to institute needed changes

I thought we already had campaign finance reform.

Not the kind that is needed. Are you satisfied with how the system works?

They decided they liked paying $12 for a pizza instead of $20. And papa John’s can work on lower margins
Because they have buying power. Rinse and repeat.

Papa John's saved consumers $8 a pizza?

Damn those rapacious robber barons!!!!

Yes Papa John’s did save consumers $$ and Walmart also saves consumers money. And outsourcing to China saves consumers a ton of money as well. Do you want to address the topic now?

There ought to be a law against providing goods and services more efficiently, eh?

Bottom line is there is no such thing as unearned income unless you have a rich relative in your family die off and leave you a bunch of money. All other income is earned

How would you classify dividend income?

"It’s fashionable these days to fret about the high level of CEO pay and its seeming disconnection from individual or corporate performance.

"But to cast CEOs as the paragons of greed simply distracts attention from today’s real business parasites: shareholders."

Despite their enormous power, shareholders are the sole group exempt from the requirement to be productive.

Wah.....owners are mean......now give us what you own....DURR

Of course that is highly theoretical and long in the future period on the other hand why are we the only modern country without a living wage healthcare daycare pa for the richest maybe. Idiotid parental leave keep college and training great infrastructure and vacations, and ID card to end illegal immigration, and mainly taxing the rich enough to invest in America and Americans again? Thanks GOP and silly dupes like you. The inequality and crap upward mobility has gone too far.

We prefer more freedom and a higher standard of living.

Maybe for the richest. we have a higher standard of living because of the amazing natural resources we have. More freedom my butt. Except for pot these days...

At least you are getting your pot, by your posts it seems you are getting way too much pot.

You brainwashed functional morons Love freedom so much you don't want anybody else to have what they want LOL. You want freedom from free stuff that every other modern country has as a benefit of citizenship period perfect ignoramus dupes of the greedy idiot rich GOP....

What makes them parasites? My IRA is in the market. It doesn't grow from day traders, it grows from big buck shareholders. Who supports our charities, creates industry to give people jobs, contributes the most to our income tax base that benefits most all of us?

If you took all the poor people, put them on an island somewhere, our society would not miss them. In fact it would actually get better given the poor have a much higher percentage of criminals than other income groups. Take all our wealthy, put them on an island somewhere, our entire economic system and country would collapse.

It's great the way the GOP has made inequality so bad that we have so many poor people because of no living wage healthcare daycare cheap college great infrastructure etc etc and that you are so proud of them. Idiot dupe.

What responsible person needs daycare if they had children they couldn't afford in the first place? Cheap college? You mean those liberal colleges that teach anti-capitalism, yet take advantage of the supply and demand situation that others participate in? No, we don't provide living wage to unskilled workers. If you want a living wage, you need to get into a professional field of work, attend trade school, or live at home for three or four years while working to save up for college. Or work a couple of years, save up some money, and open up your own business like foreigners do when they come here.

The GOP didn't make inequity, the consumer did. This week, you are going to move your money to the top. You are going to stop at Mcdonld's or Burger King. You are going to pay your cable and internet bill that brings you here in the first place. You are going to buy gasoline from those evil billion dollar oil and gas companies. You are going to pay your cell phone bill. This is how inequity is created.

They can have whatever they want if they can afford it. But they can't have whatever they want and expect others to pay for it.

it's the only freedom we have that other countries don't period they don't because mainly we made them make it illegal.do you have any argument except stupid personal insults? I don't think so. Brainwashed functional moron LOL.....

Why argue with stupid? That is what you are, you are a partisan ass kisser, you can’t phantom any Democrat not doing the right thing. That is just plain moronic, idiotic and the mind of a simpleton. Any point made you lie or change the story to fit your agenda. I despise trying to deal with you duped, unthinking, dishonest dummies. Take care pothead. BTW, dumbo, Canada and several other countries you can legally smoke pot, dumb ass.

You cannot stop this problem. With the last reform, they gave maximums for campaign contributions. So people formed PACs which have no maximum. At least if a candidate created a false ad, it can be disputed. Thanks to campaign contribution reform, these PACs can run the most phony ads they want, and they are protected by their constitutional right of free speech. All the money that used to go to the candidate or party are now being funneled to the PACs. What was accomplished?

We could make it illegal for any representative to accept any money, but how would the less interested public get informed about the candidates? We here on USMB would because this is our passion. But polls show that in these swing states, if people knew of the corruption of Hunter, Joe, and China, they would have never voted for him. How are they unaware of these events? They don't take the time to study politics as we do here and other forums.
