Howard Schultz must pull out of Presidential bid now

[HappyJoy]

Bottom 90% = the top 1% and someone at best at the bottom third of that 90% is defending income inequality.

So what? Neither their wealth, nor their income affects you or me in any way. BTW, that wealth and income is not sitting in some closet, it is invested in our economy, and providing jobs for a whole lot of people.

Without equality of income there can be no equality of opportunity

Read it.

Equality of incomes isn't possible, and neither is equality of opportunity.

True. Then again you're probably taking the word 'equality' too literally.

If you don't take it literally, then how are you supposed to take it? How much inequality is still "equality?"

You honestly believe the left is advocating that the newspaper boy should make the same amount of money as Bill Gates?

[DandyDonovan]

Yeah, the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% in the U.S. and your response is to 'get a job'. As though that were anywhere near on topic to what I was saying.

People on the bottom of the income pyramid tend to spend everything they earn. Rich people save and invest there money. Comparing wealth is an inaccurate measure of material well being. So-called "poor people" still earn significant amounts of money.

'Professor', is that what they are calling an adult alternative education teacher these days?

I don't think there is a hard fast rule as to what is 'fair'. Whatever that is it's a compromise. I think it's when the middle class isn't squeezed so tight, when healthcare is affordable and dealing with a major illness doesn't bankrupt you. When the middle class has basic safeguards to a quality education and gainful employment where workers don't have to go on welfare just to afford to live. When our bridges and freeways aren't crumbling. When a family can afford to possibly have one parent stay at home if they choose to. When a CEO doesn't make hundreds of times what the employee makes. When there is a strong enough middle class that actually boosts an economy rather than fears it.

I don't have an exact number for you. But what I can tell you is that you need to stop pretending you understand what 'income equality' means, you're definition is what I'd expect from a kindergartner and I mean a pretty lame one at that.

It has never been equal, and it never will be. How can the kid with dumb parents ever have the same opportunity as the kid with smart parents?

It mostly comes from the middle class who buy what they need and sometimes what they want if they can afford it. It's the demand side that are the job creators.
