Unequal distribution of wealth

[Intense]

Fail. What my worldview cannot do is say THIS:

is okay.

That, is not about us, it is about the Totalitarian Regimes that have no respect for the lives of their own citizens.

We all live in the same world, my friend.

Some would argue that they who do nothing stand beside those who do evil.

Maybe we should bring DDT back? What do you say? Should we send in the Marines? If we do, will we support them? Should we go back to Somalia? I'm with you. Some of us try to make a difference every day JB. There is much Evil to overcome.

And with nothing to say on the actual topic of the thread, the wingnut goes to the old standby, a veiled reference to communism even when the poster that he is incompetently trying to attack has already stated that saving capitalism is his goal. He makes a reference to a pension that i don't get, and moves on down the wingnut road, hoping that his ignorant audience will follow the dogma rather than reason.

So it goes.

The world is unfair. There is nothing that can be done to "fix" it. Efforts to correct it are inherently unfair and doomed to fail. The faster you understand this truth, the better. No one's need gives them right to the world, wealth or property of another person. To say otherwise is to condone slavery.

Charity must be given by an individual, of their own free will, or else it is not charity. It becomes theft.

You assume a lot. You assume that we don't know you for the liar you are.

 

[The Rabbi]

Unequal distribution as it exists is only bad if you think oligarchy, oppressive caste systems, and starving children are bad things.

Guess I'm not surprised you have no problems with any of it.

OK, I thought MikeK had the dumbest post of the day on another thread. But you truly take the cake here.
So unequal distribution of wealth and income only occurs because one class oppresses the other and causes children to starve? I guess pointing out that people have different abilities would be futile. Yes, of course it would.
Your worldview cannot imagine a fat man standing next to a thin man without thinking that the fat man got that way by taking something from the other person.

Yes it can. It just did. Your "worldview" (and I put it in quotes because I wouldnt dignify your crazy beliefs with the term worldview) is expressible only as emotion. Wealth did not kill that child. Wealth did not starve that child. America had nothing to do with it.
You post horrible emotional photos and expect to get taken seriously?
Please.

My Goal is to save Representative Government, Federalism. Tyranny by any brand, Communism, Socialism, Oligarchy, is still pain and suffering for us. no one should be above the Law, that includes both Corporate and Government Interest.

I want to know what the **** JBPukema is doing posting here when there are starving children in the world. Starving children, I said.
Get out there and at least make them some chicken soup.

A system of government other than the one in the United States is responsible for that is in that picture.

How much disease would DDT knock out in the blink of an eye? Governments around the world reject us, our ways, and even our help. All the internal bickering about Capitalism and Free Market Economy doesn't exactly help either. Like we need to apologize for a focus on self improvement.

We have nothing to apologize for. Our system of economics and government over the last 150 years has done more for humanity than the last 1000 years combined by the rest of the world. People live longer, with less disease, better fed, clothed, and housed because of us. If the rest of the world adopted our system we would see an end to poverty and malnutrition.
Instead the idiots praise 'every century but this one and every country but their own." It is for losers.

I'm sure you're old enough to remember it was the US who pushed DDT over a cliff after Malaria was almost eradicated. Other countries followed suit.

Some help, indeed.

Based on a false claim too.

The world is unfair. There is nothing that can be done to "fix" it. Efforts to correct it are inherently unfair and doomed to fail. The faster you understand this truth, the better.

Charity must be given by an individual, of their own free will, or else it is not charity. It becomes theft.

i think that characterizing the US as being in the same boat as undeveloped nation because we have similar disparity of earnings is errant as i've pointed out. but when speaking about the world altogether, efforts to make economic participation more accessible and the outcomes more substantial than basic subsistence (or fairness as you call it) do not support your conclusion that nothing can be done to to 'fix' it. the US, which employs such tactics is less volatile for that fact, less likely to fail, than before it had endeavored to do so.

expand your vocabulary. charity and theft dont describe the way the developed world operates.

True that.
Bribery and thuggery would be a lot closer.

aw. my favorite vokabyoulery expert.

 

[LiberalNut]

The world is unfair.

No it isn't. The world is a chunk of rock orbiting a garden variety yellow star. It is not fair or unfair. It just is. The economy on the other hand is a man made thing. If the economy is unfair, that has nothing to do with market Gods, physics or any other natural laws. It has to do with people deciding to be unfair.

But of course, I made no argument regarding fairness. I made a simple statement of truth on what a mal distribution of wealth does. It makes capitalism eat itelf. Nobody made any substantive retort.

As human beings with free will we can decide either to let capitalism eat itself or we can decide to save capitalism by redistributing wealth. Those are the choices. But, you don't want to deal with reality. You want to live in a fantasy world where economies aren't the collective decisions of humans but rather they are run by Gods or some amorphous natural law. You want to assert that there is some inevitability in most of the population living in squalor while the miniscule minority lives in conspicuous opulence. And, shockingly, you want this "let them eat cake" ideology to be called fairness.

That's why we call you wingnuts.

 

[Truthmatters]

When will the right ever face that allowing too much concentration of wealth in too few hands KILLS an economy.

You can not have capitalism when all the capital is in one hand.

You then have economic slavery.

Life is not unfair. Life is eminently fair. Some people get more and some people get less based on a bunch of factors, including diligence and intelligence. That sounds pretty fair to me. Unfair would be everyone getting equal results. It is unfair to the people who work diligently.

Your statement on capitalism eating itself (whatever that means) is unfounded and not supported by an historical evidence, nor is it logical.

 

[mudwhistle]

I'd like to know why the unequal distribution of wealth is a bad thing. This seems to be a major premise from those on the left, but it's like you just assume it's a bad thing without every really providing evidence or justifying the premise.

Greed is the primes. Wanting what is NOT yours is the standard of the day.

Yes, but taking what isn't yours with the use of force is Robbery. Doesn't that bother anyone?

You racist.
