"We need to redistribute wealth among Americans" WTF...why does this always sound so retarded to me?

[Moonglow]

Living costs have raised singnificantly over the last several decades and wages have not been raised proportionally... until people are making a living wage, or living costs drop, we will continue to have rampant poverty.
Where I am from 1 in 3 people live under the fed poverty level.

My pay has increased significantly. There's a reason for it. I've raised my skill level to offer something worth more money. Same for my wife.

Good for you. I made a generalized statement about our country over all that you can't refute.
I would be more impressed with your story if you started out with nothing and pulled yourself out of poverty. But I have a feeling mommy and daddy paid your way into adulthood, Mr personal responsibility.

I'm not the only one and be both know generalized statements are false.

Since you have that feeling, why don't you prove it, asshole. Claims like that should come with something to back it up. Do you have anything?

I didn't come out of poverty nor was I handed things like you falsely claim. I didn't live in poverty because my parents practiced what they taught me and their parents before them did the same thing.

Minimum wage increase since 1990 is around 20% the living cost increase in nearly 70%. Is your math better than your reading comprehension?

I'll find you a link after work.

Don't waste your time.

When the skills to do a job in 1990 is the same skill level required to do the same job in 2017, your wages aren't going to increase very much. You blame it on anything but the ones offering minimum skills. Here's a novel idea. Improve your skills and be shocked as just how much greater your wage percentage increases over living costs increases. That's what I did. That's what my wife did. That's what many people do. The only ones whining are those that maintain low level skills and do nothing to increase them. And the idiots that think someone with $5/hour skills and something a monkey could be trained to do deserve more than $5/hour.

Get to work. Your minimum wage, low skilled job is waiting on you. I'll have fries with that.

The invasion of southern labour 15 years ago drove our wages down in skilled trades..Don't think that the market is a fair place, there are other variables which occur..

If you want people to improve their skills that means they need access to education even if mommy and daddy can't hand it to them. But you don't want that either. Why do you hate America?

 

[Cellblock2429]

tell us your plan?

Return to 50 percent tax rate on income over a million
Tax capital gains as regular income

Put the added revenue into education, healthcare and retirement funds

How about people pay for their own education, healthcare, and retirement like the responsible people do?

I think that is America 101?

aka Personal Responsibility 101.

The free college idiots want those of us that aren't a kid's parents to invest in that kid. If their own parents don't consider them a good enough investment, they can't convince me it's a good investment for me.

Higher education shouldn't be for the wealthy. Any America loving adult would gladly pay into education for all because at the end of the day, we NEED an educated population to stay competitive.

/---/ depends on the quality of education. Why do we have to import engineers?

It really doesn't depend on anything. People with a higher education level make more money. You want poor people to stop being poor? Stop keeping education out of reach.

 

[The Original Tree]

I always find this narrative fascinating....The top 1% of wage earners already pay 45% of all income tax paid and 45% of American's pay no income tax at all.
That said, how is the notion that our most productive positive contributors owe more manifested?
Why is it never said that we have too many bottom feeders stealing from the middle class and how does that not make more sense to sane rational folks? Take the $100 billion we spend on illegal beaners every year...what if we diverted that cash alone and funneled it through the hands of the middle class and REAL Americans?

What we need is a redistribution of wages. Ceos sit on their butts and make millions a year. Pro athletes make millions a game for shooting a ball into a hoop, and make significantly more than our soldiers and police.
Hard working Americans are breaking their backs for 10 an hour and then you people wonder why they need help making ends meet.
It's not rocket science.

It is for the right wing. They also like to complain about a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.

I think all taxpayers should pay for your Hysterectomy. It's obvious you have no balls, and are a scum sucking parasitic socialist. So you need a Hysterectomy and have your Vagina Permanently sewn up, so you can no longer "BREED" & so we don't have to listen the damn thing you have to say.

How about this? Why don't you quit being a LAZY unmotivated **** Up of a Parent and get off of your ass and make a life for you, your family and your genetically defective offspring?

Why in the Hell should I give you Free Food, Free Housing, Free Clothes, Free Phones, Free Healthcare Free Money, and now Free College Education?

Go Get Bent ******* Couch Surfer.

That's called anarchy

So I am an anarchists then?

Who knew.

You do need education.
Public schooled?

Seems that way if you oppose free public education

/---/ In Nassau county I pay $5,000 a year In school taxes for "free education"

I pay less but have no kids....

I don't make minimum wage, and my story is much more impressive than yours. I did climb out of poverty, I did put myself through school, I did start out with an entry level position and have moved up consistently in my field. My field which directly works with poverty. So I even know what I'm talking about

Corporate welfare. For example, Walton's are very rich while paying very little to employees. So little that employees also collect welfare. So tax payers supplement the wages for the billionaire Walton's.

No such thing.

They pay they're employees what the skills required to do those jobs are worth. If those employees collect welfare, it's their fault for not having better skills. That should stop. Taxpayers supplement the skill equivalent wages of people whose skills are so low they can't do even the basic things in life.

If one has a $5/hour set of skills, paying them $5/hour is fine. If that isn't enough to live on, improve your skills.

They are making the Walton's billions. I don't think taxpayers should subsidize their pay.

Thanks for admitting that those wanting the taxpayers to fund their kids' college don't love America.

I gladly pay into the education for the only ones to which I'm responsible. MINE.

Reading comprehension issues? This is why education is so important.

Allow me to clarify, any adult who loves America would have no problem paying into education for all, because it is what's best for the country they love.

So now you get impose what is the best allocation for that scarce resource.

Not for me darling.

However, feel free to contribute your money and lead by example.

Yet they still want someone else to pay for their kids. If they loved their country, why aren't they paying anything toward the education of all.

If I didn't get the ***** the kid came out of, it's not my responsibility to pay because the ones that produced it won't do their part.

I love my country. I will gladly pay more for education for all, and healthcare for all BECAUSE I love my country.
No Americans working 40 hours per week should worry about feeding their kids each night. They shouldn't have to worry about a roof over their head. They shouldn't have to live in disgusting conditions.. no matter who's "***** they came out of"

"We need to redistribute wealth among Americans" WTF...why does this always sound so retarded to me?

Too late. It's already happened. The Bush tax cuts redistributed the wealth of the nation to the top 1% and what Republicans want to do now is take whatever was left over with more tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires.

The last thing she heard after "Let them eat cake" was "Off with their heads".

Oh give it a break you moron. I don't see anyone not willing to part with their money when Steve Jobs brought out the apple. Problem for those who only were good enough for welfare, they couldn't afford one, so in comes the liberals to make it all fair. When everyone is poor and miserable, then the liberals have achieved FAIRNESS. Dumbass.
