Has the republican perception of the income inequality crisis changed at all?

[boedicca]

Republican don't care about income inequality. The GOP God Ronald Reagan is happy now with the success of his economic policies. Only he had it backwards. It is the trickle up policy that make him smile in his casket.

so how do you geniuses in the Dem. party plan to help this inequality?
how do you change it from happening

Obviously they plan to impose communism and turns us all into slaves. So long as there is a free market, there will be income inequality, and leftists will be whining about it.

They'll turn us into beggars, because beggars are easier to please.

 

[JimH52]

We should be focused on creating new wealth not stealing wealth from those who have it to dole out to the have nots.

Exactly.

Did Apple's boom make society poorer?

Did Microsoft's innovations make society poorer?

Did the oil boom make society poorer?

Yeah, sure, these things made some people über-wealthy (and some have abused that wealth), but they generally increased the wealth of society.

Will anyone argue that society as a whole is less wealthy than 100 years ago? Relative wealth within society may be different, but we are as a whole much better off than we were. Who except the covetous among us care if someone else has more?

Increasing wealth on an absolute scale is about creating it, not redistributing it.

Punish those evil successful people and socialize oil, gas, and coal industries, and any other private sector cash cow they can get their hands on.

They won't be happy until we're all equally poor.
Many people today don't deserve to live in a free country like these people wailing over income inequality. Unfortunately, people are buying it.

People are buying it because, as your great RR envisioned, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. And we in the middle are being squeezed into oblivion.

Gotta turn the RR mentality around. The GOP is still holding on to an old economic failure called the trickle down theory. The GOP House has tied the hands of an Administration that has tried to address the issue.

Looks at this minimum wage chart. We rank seventh among major democracies. We have the largest economy in the world and yet we rank seventh in providing a minimum for the poor. The GOP should be ashamed...but they are not.

A Look At Minimum Wages Around The World - Business Insider

"Out of the 20 or so countries listed on The Economist's Big Mac Index (countries that also have minimum wages – Italy and Germany do not, for example) from 2012, the U.S. has the 7th highest minimum wage on an absolute basis, about the median number," say the strategists. "The absolute lowest federal minimum wage is in Sierra Leone, where workers can expect just $0.03/hour. India is the lowest among larger economies with a $0.28/hour rate. Australia is at the opposite end of the spectrum, with a whopping $16.88 hourly mandated wage.

holy smokes, if Australia is so wonderful making that much an hour, why isn't everyone flocking there to live?
I can see it now, welcome to McDonalds what you like on your $5 hamburger that's for the people who can afford one

So now you are laughing on the backs on the poor Steph? Classy....

I can do that because I was one of the poor you all act like you care about
I worked my way out of dirt poor to being comfortable poor. and I didn't need any of you in the Democrat party to do it for me or ask you all even to give a shit...The last thing I want, is I'm from the Government or Democrat party and I'm here to help

Can you honestly say that when the GOP turns its back on Democratic requests to stop the many unwarranted tax breaks for the wealthy, oil companies, and corporations that take their companies off shore? The hypocrisy of the GOP is due to their dependence on the checks from special interest lobbyist who each have their hands in the pockets on the repub representatives.

Any specific "tax breaks for the wealthy" we should eliminate?

What tax breaks for oil companies should end?

What tax break do you think corporations should not receive for leaving our shores?

Be specific, because generalized, no info feelings get annoying.

Here's an immigration bill...

Close the border, start deporting illegals, e verify and fines for hiring foreign criminals, no IDs , no social services, schooling or welfare....deport prison gang members to their country's of origin, and bill those countries for the favor. In the meantime we can slow all immigration to a halt until the system is fixed. Eliminate all immigration from Muslim countries.

For starters. Simple

Well we've been doing pretty much exactly that for about 30 years/ And it's not working.
"Close the border". Do you have any idea what that means and what it would take? Do you have any notion of the volume of goods that flows both ways across that border? No, of course not.
We have spent unimaginable sums on immigration enforcement and its been a failure. Turning the US into a police state is not really an option.
The idiot immigration restrictionists will sink the GOP with their stupid ideas.

You can't be seriously contending that we've been following that prescription for the last 30 years. That claim is divorced from reality.

It appears that you fundamentally misunderstand the terms of the debate. To close the border does not mean that all trade across a border must stop. The term doesn't mean anything with respect to trade, only human migration is affected by a closed border. Commerce can proceed unimpeded. If you don't understand such a fundamental point, then it's no wonder you're misunderstanding so much more and that's what is leading you to bad policy decisions.

No, divorced from reality is claiming that more of the same will work.
In 1990 the border patrol's budget was $262M. Last year it was nearly $3.5B. All the things immigration noobs call for we're already doing. It is already illegal to hire illegal aliens. We already have a verify system for citizenship. What is spending another X billion dollars going to do? It's nuts.
http://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/BP Budget History 1990-2013.pdf
The issue is that immigration assholes who claim to be conservatives suddenly become flaming statists when this issue comes up. They want to turn the US into a police state, with everyone walkig around with papers to prove they're legal. They forget that conservative principle is the free movement of labor and capital.

IN a cohesive society. Hey, take the locks of your doors because you wouldn't want to impede the free movement of labor in your neighborhood, putting locks on your doors is one step towards a police state.

Law and order, an orderly society, is the keystone of a conservative society. So too is a common culture where people share the same language and values.
