Bernie: "Today the Walton family of Walmart own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of America."

Businesses never been there for employment of people, it's there for a profit and a product.

Yes corporations sending jobs overseas and bringing in legal workers are certainly a problem. Keystone? Really? Have you seen the cost of oil?

Yes Keystone the unions were begging for those jobs and Obama and the liberals told them to piss off. Explain it, you can't.

But you people keep saying Walmart employees are lazy and have no skills. Why are you now claiming they'd have been able to work a pipeline?

If they don't like their wage, work somewhere else.

Is it your perception that if you keep posting that it will magically come true? It won't. But post it again. Your inability to comprehend the nature of the problem is entertaining, in a sad sort of way.

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence for most people, it's up to you to make it better, no one will do that for you.

The left has been waiting for the Democratic party to save them for what 50 years now, lol.

 

[Rustic]

Starting a business just to hire people, is a classic putting the "The cart before the horse".

Very socialist way Of doing things, back a$$ wards...

Well, make your current job better by working harder and/or being more responsible. There is any number of things that can be done about that.

Not if Walmart is your employer.

You mean they can't get a better job somewhere else?

I mean not everyone has the freedom to move every time a job market dries up.

Do you have kids in school? Elderly parents? A mortgage on a house you've put hours of work into? Or are you completely self-absorbed?

I have had all three. I rented my house out for 4 years because I moved to another state.

If you don't want to move, that's your decision, but why should anyone else have to pay the consequences of your decisions?

Why, indeed? Yet you continue to pay for SNAP benefits because the Waltons are manipulating you into doing so. Enjoy.

You're a socialist tool. The Waltons are great for America, they let people who aren't worth a "living wage" to earn a partial wage and therefore not be dependent entirely on government. that's your choice, keep them poor and dependent on politicians. You hate people

You've managed to cram all of the talking points into a single post - good for you! To reiterate: You don't need no stinkin' evidence. We can have your cheap Chinese imports when we take them from your cold, dead hands.

Enjoy.

The field of economics are "talking points?" Gotcha, Karl. No talking points in your Marxism, that's all just good common sense

 

[Arianrhod]

No, your post was. If asked to prove your opinion with facts, you'd resort to name-calling (you have already in the part of this post I excised).

If you have any facts to support you opinion, I'd encourage you to provide them. In the meantime, the subject of your sentence is "field," singular; therefore the correct predicate form would be "is," not "are."

Even if you thought "economics" was the subject, it's a collective noun, meaning it takes a singular verb. Ergo, still "is," not "are." You're welcome.

When you post some evidence perhaps we'll pay attention. So far all you done is repeat your commie Democrat talking points.

Here's a clue for you: No one on my side of this issue is swallowing the claim that whatever wage Wal-Mart pays is the cause of welfare. That's commie bullshit propaganda, not a fact. Any argument you post based on that premise will immediately be dismissed.

There's plenty of evidence in the thread, which you've repeatedly ignored. And who's "we" - your local Borg collective, or you and the Dutch kid in your avatar?

Nope, there isn't a shred of evidence. A speech by Reagan is evidence of nothing except Reagan's opinion. So what "evidence" have you posted?

Reread the entire thread, not just your own posts. Numerous posters have posted information which you have steadfastly ignored. Either that or you jumped in at the end of the thread and have no idea what's going on.

I ignored bullshit propaganda. That's all that has been posted. You're claiming otherwise. So point out what you claim isn't propaganda. Otherwise, just admit that it's all horseshit.

Capitalism, sure helps bring out natural selection does it not??

Whether in politics or private sector, Warm and fuzzy feelings really don't go that far it here in the real world. And rightly so.

If you say so.

It sure does. Point out to one segment of the population that they're underwriting the wealthy and their response is to make that little speech about how the only people who work for Walmart are people with no skills.

Rinse, repeat.

[Contumacious]

So instead of teaching the bottom 40% how to earn that type of wealth...

The answer's self-evident: Have a wealthy grandfather leave you billions.

May we assume you're at least a millionaire?

We do not have two pennies to rub together. But that doesn't give us the authority to steal the Walton's wealth.


.

No one's asking you to steal anything. Like Ronald Reagan, we expect American corporations to pay their fair share. "Zero" - in the case of 20 American corporations - is not a "fair share."

Again, I'm amazed that the Rightists are so unwilling to demand that Apple, at least, pay some taxes.

Bullshit


There’s No ‘Fair Share’ of Taxation


To be clear: I don’t want anyone to be forced to pay their “fair share” – because there is no such thing as a “fair” share of redistributionist taxation. Not one of us “owes” anyone else a thing, except goodwill and mutual respect for each others’ rights.

The problem is we have a welfare state – huge and unaccountable and utterly out-of-control. So long as that exists, the citizens – the taxpayers – have every reason to object to flooding the country with people who, almost to a man (and woman and child, too) will immediately avail themselves of “services” they haven’t paid for and impose additional costs on an already overburdened system – which inevitably leads to yet more and higher taxes on everyone except the illegals because they either don’t earn taxable income or the income they earn is off the books."

And if I asked you why you aren't at least a millionaire (I mean, not everyone can be as "hard-working" as your heroes the Waltons and the CEOs of the corporations that pay -0- taxes), you'll either claim you are or you'll say "because taxes take all my money," right?

So you don't agree with Reagan? Okay. How much do you figure Lew Rockwell is worth?

If you live within your means financially speaking, life is very easy...
