Dem Talking Point Failure: America's Poorest Are Richer Than 60% of Developed Countries

The United States of America is the richest country in the world and yet we have poor people.


Why is that supprising? we are a large country, full of people who immigrated here at different times in history. Broken families, intact families, wars fought, ... hell, you can have five kids with two wonderful parents, three of the kids might end up being doctors, lawyers or business owners, yet the other two may end up being criminals or grifters, all by the same parents. The fact is, those five kids would never be equal for they are all individuals with different birth order, and different pressures, insecurities..... yet they all had equal opportunity perhaps living under the same roof. was that a Republicans fault? a Democrats? or is it just the way it is?
Why is that everything has to be equal? And why do you think it's the governments job to make everything equal outcome?

Again; The United States of America is the richest country in the world and yet we have poor people.

Again, "poor" is a relative term. Your inability to to understand that "poor" means very different things in different countries proves nothing but that your appalling ignorance is consistent on every subject.


The Poor in America live in climate controlled homes, have electricity, indoor plumbing and refrigerators, watch big screen TVs, have mobile phones and automobiles...and have a high rate of obesity (and Type II diabetes).

The Real Poor in other countries and earlier in history starved and lived in squalor.

Over here we have ramp beggars. These are people that stand on the highway get off ramps holding signs hoping the motorists stopped at the red light will give them money. One time a girl was standing there with a sign, and with her other hand, pulled out her cell phone to answer a call. Must have been the ramp beggars union or something because it must have been important.
 
Its biggest cities run by radical Dem's.
Well sure,as are all big cities, in general. Educated and successful people flock to cities. That being the case, liberals will always be elected in big cities.

I know you didn't just try to tell us that cities are made up of educated successful people, or that Democrats get elected just by educated, successful people, because Democrat voting is a hallmark of education and success.

If that was really the case, they wouldn't spend all their campaign time pandering to poor people and promising them government programs.
 
Some liberal idiot was yapping about CEO salaries yesterday. I pointed out that if they divided the top 10 CEO's compensation evenly among the people, each would receive $5 to spend at McDonalds. The left's talking points vs math.

They are worried about what a CEO makes, but when actors get paid a million dollars per episode on a hit television show, they have no problems with that. Or an actor gets 15 million dollars for one movie.

I knew a guy that was a roadie for a rock band. They got paid crap. They had to drive around all over the country, lug that heavy equipment into concert halls, set all that stuff up, tear it down after the show, load it back into the trucks, and hit the road again.

They got paid crap. Living expenses were included, but very little money considering the work they did and living away from home weeks or months on end.

CEO's should take less pay and give that money to lowly workers when a star quarterback is willing to throw a football for 100K a year and give the rest of his money to the beer and popcorn vendors, the grounds crew, and the parking lot attendant.

Actors are the employees. Employees able to negotiate high salaries

Most workers don’t have that leverage

No, the actors are CEO's in comparison. They are far above the people that work under them like the hair stylists, the stage hands, the joke writers, the camera crew, all who get paid a small fraction of the money an actor makes.

People get paid according to the value that their company places on them. You can find another good floor sweeper, but much more difficult and perhaps more costly to find a great CEO.

Actors, musicians, star athletes, etc. share with CEOs the fact that relatively few people have the level of ability necessary to do the job . . . which is why all of those people make as much money as they do.

Anyone can answer phones in a Verizon call center. Very few people could be CEO of Verizon.

I look at these people here in Phoenix and think, "You can manage to stand out in 100+ degree heat all day to beg, but you can't work an actual job? Really?"

I get so almighty tired of being panhandled at every frigging gas station in the city I go to. I'm busy actually hustling my ass off, working for a living, and you think you're entitled to take up my valuable time asking me for my money? How about no?

We have those, too - but they are a decreasing ratio of the poor homeless. I see more and more drugged out addicts just lying around.

They think they are just things to be redistributed from better off people to less well off ones. Magic!

Indeed. And it's important to note that in the "poor" stats, all government and charitable handouts are excluded from income.

They think they are just things to be redistributed from better off people to less well off ones. Magic!

They think they're just standard, essential basics of existence, like food and water. They're completely unaware that even food and clean water are unimaginable luxuries in some parts of the world, never mind electricity and plumbing.

Electricity is considered so ubiquitous in this country that in some states, Child Protective Services will actually consider it child abuse to NOT have it. As though kids need to be plugged into an outlet to recharge every day or something.

Nobody knows that more than those of us who have HUD people living next door. :102:

Exactly, and that's pointed out in the article of the first link I posted. If you consider what working people have after taxes, it's comparable to what welfare people get.

If I have any spare money to give, I give to homeless organizations because I understand that some people are simply not intelligent enough to take care of themselves, and I can only thank God for not making me one of those people. However......most places that deal with the homeless tells you the worst thing you can do is hand them cash. They will likely use it for drugs or alcohol instead of helping themselves. Organizations that help the homeless make sure the money to help them goes to the right places.
 
There are a few exceptions but overall I stand by my post. A college degree in a desired field can give the worker the upper hand in the conflict tht exists between worker vs employer. The two are always at odds.

Total ignorance
