Zone1 What is Wrong with Inequality?

[Picaro]

That's a lie. They were no more feral than Europeans, and given what happenedthey were less feral. Again, European colonization messed up the places that were colonized. India had great wealth, which is why the Brits committed the crimes they did in India, killing over 1 billion people during the Raj. It was the European countries that were shitholes at that time.

Repeating rubbish doesn't make it come true; your ruby slippers are fake.

 

[IM2]

Nobody hires lots of ex-cons, no matter what color they are. Blacks have their own 'culture' that worships criminals and violence, and make their own nests into shitholes. Nobody else does it for them.

White do right-wing whites lie to themselves like this? Whites elected an ex con to be the President and whites have long worshipped criminals and vionce. The Sopranos weren't black. The Godfather was not about blacks. The series The Untouchables was not about black crime. Name the black leaders who started both World Wars. You can't. And white created public policy has been the cause of problems for backs. Don't run your mouth to me about something you know nothing about. Your opinion doesn't count, scrub. We're talking about facts, not white racist feelings.

Repeating documented history does make it true. You're the one repeating rubbish, uneducated right-wing idiot..

What government policy has denied wealth to certain people?

Go do the research.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sure they do. HIstory buffs and race baiters, and no one else.

Except people who want to tear down or protect statues or people who want to name military bases after Civil War Generals.

Keep being ridiculous. We like the laughs. Your insipid whining is music to our ears,

Then you should cite some, instead your fake propaganda narratives.

No matter what nation you travel to, there is inequality. It doesn't matter if the nation is Capitalist, Marxist, Theocratic, Military Junta, Socialist, or an Oligarchy.
I believe even Jesus said there would always be poor among us, or something to that effect. In the hardcore Communist nation of North Korea. The poor exist, while the upper inner circle have wealth. Those that push Communism claim that they will "eliminate" the social classes, and they do. They eliminate the middle-class and the wealthy, leaving one very large class, the poor. The exception is of course, the very inner circle of the regime. Such things as taking away large profits, causes a loss of innovation, which is why Communist countries in the past had to keep stealing the west's technological achievements. China has change it a bit by allowing some private ownership in businesses and by doing this has created a middle-class but still doesn't allow individual freedoms or political opposition.
Just try to help the poor through donations to various causes is the best and don't help those you know to just be too lazy to work for a living. They keep themselves there, expecting handouts.

Few are so handicapped that they can't provide a decent living for themselves.

Maybe, but weren't we talking about making more than just a living?

 

[rightwinger]

Already have, as have everybody else. You're pretty much oblivious to losing and having nothing, as usual.

Prove me wrong
Refute what I said

 

[Correll]

Race baiters.

or protect statues

History buffs.

or people who want to name military bases after Civil War Generals.

Again, history buffs. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[rightwinger]

Well, then it is good that economic isoloation is just some shit talk from leftards, instead of anything real.

US under Trump is becoming isolationist.

Trumps trade war makes it us against the world

Every nation we traded with, gamed the system in one way or another to protect and advance their economic interests.

Now we are doing the same.


That is a good thing. Your anti-American hatred is making you blind to the reality.

 

[citygator]

Becasue it is the competing poor that is the factor that drives down wages.

If the labor market was tight, then the employers are forced to pay more and treat employees better. When the labor market is flooded, they can be complete assholes.






Sorry, I live in the real world where people with degrees and certificates can't find decent jobs, while employers are outsourcing and hiring h1-B workers.

So, not buying your shit talk





If you wanted those services to not be a political battle front, then you should not have politicized them.

YOU weaponized the government, now we are pruning it of lefties like yourself. And depriving you of the money you have been stealing from US taxpayers.




The services are never for me or people like me, so I don't really give a ****.




Made complete sense. I made a general statement on my position and you choose to not address it.




So, you talk shit about us being rich, then you admit that the macro-economic numbers hide that the middle class and working class are suffering.

Say, doesn't that mean that all your talk of immigrants making jobs and full employment, does it mean that was all shit talk?






Over all, we have the largest trade deficits in history and they are growing all the time. Your pretense that we are making enough here is clearly false.




Discussing the impact of flooding the labor market with third world labor is not "demonizing" anyone.

When you claim it is, that is you shit talking to avoid discussing the issue seriously or honestly.


I ask you directly. Does tens of millions of third world workers in the labor market, depress wages in the US?




Links to experts that have been wrong for generations are irrelevant noise.

This is a terribly uninformed post. This guy thinks a trade deficit is because we are struggling which is the opposite of reality. He thinks he knows in his gut what unemployment numbers are vs the Trump reported ones. And he still thinks poor people are poor because other poor people are taking their money. He has yet to address why all the rich people have consolidated more wealth while the bottom and middle have less. He thinks they’ll all get wealthy picking strawberries.

I’ll need a bit to respond to this tripe.

 

[Correll]

.... And he still thinks poor people are poor because other poor people are taking their money. ....

My points about the other "poor people" were ... not that.

You are lying to avoid dealing with points you CAN'T deal with.

And you think poor people are poor because very successful people are rich.

Poor people are poor because they made bad decisions. Period.

1) They decided not to learn a trade after high school (which Pell Grants will pay for).

2) They decided to keep having babies they can’t support without being married. (Birth control will prevent this in 99% of the cases.)

The wealth of Americans traveled together until 1980. Then Reagan whacked the top tax rates and all the wealth is now in the hands of the wealthy and we are $30T in debt with less government workers and fewer services and a more upside down wealth equity mix than ever before.

Yes. Making the wealthy wealthier has done exactly that.

1. College educated are killing it compared to every other demographic. You can find outliers but a college education is still the best ticket to the small middle class.

A college education is still the most reliable pathway to the middle class - THE FEED

Despite skepticism about higher education and the growing popularity of career and professional training programs, a college degree remains the most dependable route to sustainable economic opportunity, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.

2.Teen pregnancy is way way down. Don’t you know that?

Teen births in US fall to record low, as overall total drops by 2%: CDC

A CDC report published Thursday found the overall number of births in the United States dropped in 2023 by 2% and teen births reached a record low.

I am not directing racism. I am calling out white racism. The same white racism that created the HIB visa to hire people from India instead of blacks. I get real tired of you racists whining about somebody being racist because they refuse to take your bs.

OhmyGod! Do you really think blacks can do the jobs that those Indians can do? Are you unaware of the educational level between the two? Sheesh!

 

[Woodznutz]

Maybe, but weren't we talking about making more than just a living?

That's a whole different animal. People who are motivated to make more generally do so. Health and wealth are closely related and attitudes toward both are similar. People generally don't accept good advice about either. Those who do generally succeed at both.

 

[Woodznutz]

Go do the research.

Blacks who do things "the white way" have prospered. Those who don't haven't. "When in Rome, do as the Romans."
