Democrats are simply stupid people.
No need to go any deeper.
No need to go any deeper.
Thank you for the sound advice but I’m not looking for it. No matter how much advice you give it won’t fix the underlying issue of having several different American individuals worth more than the entire bottom half of the country put together.
Your quality of life and spending power were miles ahead of ours. How much did that degree cost you? You have no idea how good you had it.
Yes it does. It was the entirety of that post. Not my fault you lack reading comprehension.
They aren’t ours. Just like Venezuela’s. The people of Greenland actually do a very good job distributing resources. Have you looked into their economy?
I could say similar of you and yours. “You are far too focused on” metaphysical “things and project” your moral failings “onto others.”
Literally 95% of the world’s problems can be traced back to either Muslims or Jews. Everyone who doubts that needs to take a deep dive into research.
How much hard work gets done when interest accrues on a multimillion dollar account? None? Oh.
The top less than 1% own over half of all stocks. The top 10% own over 90% of them. Main Street is the only path for most of America. Wall Street is a pipe dream.
Explains why you’re so bitter. I would bet the vast majority of this thread is divorced.
I think
your reply made his point for him.Yeah that $200 a week I got cutting tobacco and roofing let me live like a king in Owensboro.
What was the price of your first house as a percentage of your income?
Edit: here, I’ll do it for you. You said you graduated during Carter, so end of 70s. Here’re medians in ‘85(so not even as bad as starter homes), several years into your work history:

Ironic- you are hyper-focused on the rich and how unfair that they have more. Then you spout socialist BS.
The money that is accruing the interest is loaned out which creates jobs and taxes. That is the #1 thing you need to know if you know how the whole banking thing works. Figuring out the time/value of money shows a lot more than the MMT crap you were quoting.
Great news . Thats means you should follow what they are investing so your little pile turns into a nice chunk of gold in a few decades.
Here's a nice story about a guy who shared the wealth with his employees after the sale of their (his family's) company:
The Boss Who Gave His Employees a $240 Million Gift - WSJ
The Boss Who Gave His Employees a $240 Million Gift - WSJ
I’m focused on how our society operates. The rich just happen to be the problem. Wealth has concentrated at the top and the rest of us have been left out in the lurch. When our country was at its strongest we had an over 90% tax rate for the richest.
LOL. Im not bitter at all. It has worked out better than I could of imagined. And with the market going crazy I am going to have a nice retirement. Probably not many $50k vacations planned so I guess the man is holding me down because everybody deserves one
Wow. Now why is that a feel-good newsworthy story? Because it’s so rare. Not the norm. We expect the owner class to just take.
So you’re in the top 10% of income in America? Yet you think you know how it is for the bottom 50%?
It’s passive income. The owner does nothing for it. Except already have capital. Why should rich people make money for doing nothing? Does the line cook make passive income if he doesn’t show up for work?
Is that what you do? Just copy Elon’s stock trades to make as much money as him? No? Oh…
Dion / Kroger / Fanon's economic principles:
- Everyone deserves an annual $200,000 salary regardless of their aptitude, education, or marketplace need for their job skills.
- As a corollary, everyone deserves two months paid vacation.
- Everyone gets the same quality and type of housing. Improvements to increase property value are not allowed.
- Once you reach a certain level of income, you must give 97% of it to the government. They know better than you what to do with YOUR money.
- Once you achieve a certain level of wealth, assets and incomes above that level of wealth is subject to seizure by the government. See previous point.
I've long maintained that the key to reducing income / wealth inequality is to allow people to copy Nancy Pelosi's stock trades in real time. Her ability to identify companies whose value is set to skyrocket is uncanny.
No one thinks a surgeon should make the same as a ditch digger. But the ditch digger should be paid a living wage. As FDR so eloquently said:
“It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.”
Which is more relevant than ever when thousands of Walmart employees still need government assistance.
So does she deserve that wealth and power? Did she earn it through hard work?
No and No. Your sarcasm detector is badly broken.
I’m on record saying all religions are hilarious, wacky, and dangerous. A bunch of weak minded idiots who need an imaginary friend to either ask for **** or blame **** on. I’m shocked that any functioning adult believes in the idiocy. I know I’ve been way happier since I came to my senses. And that 10% of gross I’ve saved the last 15 years paid off my house. Winning all around.
That’s my point. I wasn’t defending her. She is rich and powerful because our system rewards exploitative behavior like hers, not hard work. We live in an oligarchy, not a meritocracy. Thanks for backing up my point, however unwittingly.
LMAO! Their are MUCH sicker and evil atheists than any Christian. Talk about a weak and lazy mind.
Add another front to Trump’s wars. How many does this make now? Peace president my ***.
*there, dude. Jeez. If you are gonna live here, learn to speak the language.
Would love to see a list that trumps people like Leopold II, Tomas de Torquemada, and Jan Pieterszoon Coen. Off the top of my head.
