The top 1% keeps gaining wealth while the middle class shrinks, that is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Lesh]

The top 1/10 0f one per cent own 25% of the wealth of the nation.

Explain to me how they are paying their share?

 

[Defiant1]

The middle class has more money than it has ever had in history.
The middle class needs to stop spending more money than they earn.
You can't spend your way into the upper class.

 

[Oddball]

The top 1/10 0f one per cent own 25% of the wealth of the nation.

Explain to me how they are paying their share?

Because income is taxed, not wealth, dunce.

of course you are totally brainwashed by the GOP propaganda machine to only think in terms of federal income taxes, super duper dupe. If you count all taxes, they pay the same percentage wise as everyone else really,and get all the New Wealth while the middle class and our infrastructure go to hell, 35 years now and just gets worse. Brainwashed functional moron.

You'd think that the way everyone keeps repeating those statistics like they do, the left would finally understand.

But they don't. They just can't for some reason. Their heads are full of pudding.

While those who earn less pay hardly anything, yet get huge refunds at the expense of us who earn more?

What kind of a bullshit scam is that?

And what is wrong with mega millionaires? There are more today with President Trump in office, than the 1/2 white fagot who preceded him. Also there are less on welfare than was under Obummer. You know after 8 years of the queer in office, it is going to take a while for middleclass to recover from the shitforbrain Kenyan....

The super rich get very generous deductions, tax shelters and frequent tax cuts that we do not get. What kind of bullshit scam is that? I'll tell you, you have been living in a plutocracy so long you think that's how it's supposed to be.

The economy is better served by a thousand millionaires than one billionaire. Concentrated wealth is more a thing of monopoly and rigged systems and less about a truly healthy economy.
