Why i get pissed every time i hear about income inequality.

[Toddsterpatriot]

The Dems fucked up the college part.

It was Republicans who slashed Federal and State aid to college students

It was Democrats who thought it'd be a great idea to make unlimited
government loans available.

Did that make college cheaper or more expensive?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The bankruptcy is caused by cuts in federal aid to the states and localities since the GOP has been in charge,

Sounds awful!!!

What was the aid before Reagan.....what is it now?

Post the numbers.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The issue with our country is not income inequality but wealth inequality.

The truly wealthy in our country know better than to claim income. Income is taxed.
They get their compensation through non taxable means.

I started working at $2.10 an hour minimum wage at a local winery doing menial labor.

For that $2.10, I was able to pay for my college tuition by just working three months in the summer.

That is the income inequality. Today, that minimum wage will not come close for a young worker to earn college tuition.

For that $2.10, I was able to pay for my college tuition by just working three months in the summer.

I know! Fucking Dems.

Throw unlimited government dollars at colleges, they'll raise the prices on you.

Unfortunately the GOP has been in charge of tax rates and policy for 40 years and that's when you actually get screwed, dumbass. We didn't get the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere because Democrats were in charge. Unbelievable brainwash. Look up the garbage Nixon rule of reconciliation that allows the GOP to cut taxes and services with 51 votes in the Senate (all they care about!) while Democrats need 60 votes in the Senate to pass any reform because of the GOP filibuster rule. Only garbage propaganda and your imaginary planet make this mess possible....

I know. No bigger waste of time than 16 years of Clinton and Obama.

Useless weaklings.

Dem Senators, almost as useless as Dem Presidents.

keep voting for The greedy idiot Rich GOP robbing the country and regular people blind, brainwashed functional moron.

You've admitted the Dems are all worthless....why do you keep voting for them?

Because they are for the correct policies whereas your party depends on mass delusions and stupidity like yours...

16 years of Obama and Clinton and they couldn't enact any of those correct policies?

Useless twats.

Inflation. Caused by govt policies.

Inflation is caused by many factors
The issue is that Min Wage has not kept up with inflation

Swooooooosh right over the head

evidently not

Necessary because min wage has not kept pace with inflation.
College students used to be able afford college on min wage.

If we raised it to $15 an hour, they could afford it again

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Necessary because min wage has not kept pace with inflation.

Less than 2% of hourly workers earn minimum wage.
Why does it need to keep pace with inflation?

If we raised it to $15 an hour, they could afford it again

Full time earnings of $30,000 a year would make college affordable?

Show your math.

Back when i got out of high school, i took 1 semester of college at the University of Cincinnati, while going there i also worked part time at McDonalds making $2.10 an hours. When 6 months were up i realized college wasnt for me, so i wanted full time work, but most of the full time at McDonalds were for managers while kids and the elderly got part time. So i left and went to Bill Knapp's wanting to become a short order chef, again making $2.10 an hour but a promise of a raise and full time work which i needed both. In 6 months i had learned the whole line from soups and salads to sandwiches to cooking steaks and lobster tails. I got a 15 cent raise along with more responsibility because i could be left alone to manage the grill between lunch and dinner when the place was slow enough to have 1 cook. I was proud as a peacock to be trusted with being the chef. I had repeat customers who loved my style of cooking because i just didnt cook, i put love for the customers in the way my food went out, and the customers loved coming back.
Then disaster struck...The progs in government wanted everyone to be paid $2.25 an hour, thus making me entry level again, and since the margins arent great in restaurants, i ended up at minimum wage again, even though i had 1 year of service. I quickly realized that this wasnt for me, and i needed skills. So i joined the Air Force 9 1/2 years working on A-10s, F-15s and F-16s, never in my time of service did one of my jets ever go down, and when asked if i would fly in a jet i fixed, i replied, of course i would, i know how well i work..
Then an opportunity came for me to work as a contractor overseas on the Saudi Royal Air Force F-15s able to make $70,000 a year tax free. Also had a nice 401k plan, and this is how i achieved great wealth, so when i hear about income inequality, i say "Tough shit mother fuckers, if you cant do what i did, then you deserve to be low of income". This is the United States of America, where even a McD's fry cook can become a millionaire.

I hate that expression. People who use the term "income inequality" obviously had parents who didn't teach them anything about real life: Not all people are supposed to be equal, life wasn't meant to be fair, and you really can't get something for nothing. We seem to have bred a society that holds its most productive members up to ridicule and scorn, and makes beloved mascots out of its least productive and most parasitic members.

Not true, you can get your money for noth'in and your checks for free

Dire Straights and Bernie told me so

Oh and by the way, i was smart enough to go to Saudi Arabia for 5 1/2 years making $70,000 a year tax free, along with investing in stocks. Much smarter than the smartest progs....

Inflation. Caused by govt policies.
So in return, you dumbass statists gove them more power instead of taking back the power that belonged to YOU

You are a total hater dupe of the greedy idiot GOP megarich, brainwashed functional moron. Stupidest voters in the world GOP base.

Gawd you are a dumbass

What are the other issues that cause inflations

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

The American Dream is alive and well ... any poor kid with hard work and good responsibility can at least become financially secure ... perhaps wealthy, though I admit to getting a couple of lucky breaks ...

Income inequality is a fact of life ... deal with it ... work with it ... make it work for you ... [smile] ... looking from the top down, it makes perfect sense ...

ETA: I started working for a nickel a tree hoeing in orchards ... then the big bucks 50¢ an hour suckering ...

a tree hoeing ?

Are you the tree pimp? Do people like MDK and Tommy Twitaint poke the knots in the tree for a nickel?

I too am the self made type and all I ever needed or asked for was the opportunity to strut my stuff. I never had to back up in any pay lines either always giving more than I got.
Nothing is free, not anything and not ever. If you really want something, get off of your ass and go get it.
BTW I'm also an AF vet.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

the problem in the US is not really income inequality----I, and my four sibs, also did the entry stuff----I did baby sitting at 50 cents per hour one or two evenings per week and was ELATED to get a job in a department store at 1.25 per hour. I never "needed" $200 sneakers.
The only really negative outcome is----I now have
AQUIRED FLAT FEET-----it has something to do with a
compromised posterior tibialis----I think---don't quote me

Sounds like life is great in give away to the rich GOP America. Who needs healthcare a mental health system a living wage daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training, an ID card to end illegal immigration, and mainly taxing the rich their fair share like every other modern country? Change the channel and snap out of it....

Actually, you realize that most of the top 1 percenters are Dems right???

So what dumbass. All the liars in the 1% are Republicans and they'll do anything to hold on to their ill gotten gains....

Is Jeffie Bezos the ultra Billionaire a Republican, please tell US.

[Mikeoxenormous]

A start in life means pay for college, buy a car
Minimum wage used to do that, it no longer does.

The Dems fucked up the college part.

Let's outlaw all student loans, except those provided by the college.

If they want to lend someone $200,000 to get a degree in Renaissance Queer poetry,
they can be on the hook if the loan goes into default.

The country had plenty of basically free community colleges and public universities before Reagan started going after aid to colleges in California. You appear to know nothing factual like most brainwashed GOP functional morons....

I got free college, all paid for by the Air Force, now of course i had to fix jets just so i could get the funds for college, but keeping them flying was as much fun as learning about pre-calculus...That isnt Sarcasm...

I was doing the formula for Arcs, and after i got it figured out, i went "Damn this shit really works" . Unlike a prog slave who sits and moan in its basement waiting for the next welfare check....
