Income equality bull shit.

All Conservatives care about is their money; they don't give a damn about the US or their children.

Ignorant garbage. Can you not read?

Read?
I belong to two congregations of over 1500 families; I know how Conservatives think because they can't shut up about how Godly they are.
They don't give a crap about anyone but THEMSELVES; "My kids will fend for themselves!".
Come on! You full well know the drill.
Thankfully, they are a minority.

Your point is irrelevant, and it is irrelevant because you cannot or did not read the discussion you responded to.

What does that have to do with income equality? Nothing. You want to talk about political motivations, start a thread on it.
 
Pred is a fine example of someone who makes assumptions and ends up looking like an asshole.

What scam? You dont even know

I noticed the gap widened. Have you? Obama the liberal socialist as you call him has made people MORE money and you still think hes some sort of ultra liberal.

Now thats what you call ignoring the evidence for the talking points. Pred believes that a socialist makes the rich more money isnt that right Pred. Tell everyone how this liberal is making the rich money and how Obama hates the rich you dummy

You seem to have reading comprehension problems. Perhaps that is why you sound like an idiot.


Dont dodge now dumbass.

Finish your point. Obama hates the rich and is such a socialist that the income gap has widened under his watch.

Is that what you're saying shit stain?

The only thing I'm dodging is your irrelevant nonsense. Do something about your reading comprehension and the you can join in on the conversation.
 
Crony Capitalism and the growing wealth gap (key word - growing) are irrefutably linked. To say you are not worried about the growing wealth gap is to say indirectly that you don't care about the rampant and widespread Crony Capitalism that is taking place TODAY.

If the rich were getting richer because they remain the most talented, the most worthy, and the best providers & innovators of the things we need and want I would NOT be concerned. But instead I believe they are getting richer because they are the best connected, above the law, and have the ability to put competitors out of business by pushing through legislation that benefits their cause and not the cause of the general society. That IS concerning!!!

With income and wealth disparity....whats done is done and what is yours is yours

But why should the government continue policies that lead to wealth accumulation in a small sector?

We need more programs that assist low level working Americans and fewer that assist the wealthy

Disagree. We need to stop subsidizing the wealthy, not give even more handouts.
 
Considering the number of unemployed and underemployed far exceeds that of the Conservative, I would suggest they pick another meme.

How about "Jobs for US Citizens"?
Nah! That would infringe on FREEDOM!

Unlike progressives we conservatives care more about the country and about our descendants than we do about winning elections. For people like you and those you vote for, the ends justify the means, all you care about is getting the win at all costs. You can keep that shit.

All Conservatives care about is their money; they don't give a damn about the US or their children.

That's why there are Liberals who care about money that's not theirs. And they care so much about everyone's children that they wanna put them all on government support. Right?

That still does not mean that there is no opportunity for people to obtain wealth. Not everyone is going to be able to join the super rich, but the premise put forth by the democrats that the super rich are keeping everyone poor and destroying the middle class is bull shit. Anyone can achieve a decent living for themselves, it's up to them and it is only themselves that are holding them back.

I'm pretty sure Conservatives are pretty damn good at throwing away tax dollars too. You don't think that they ALSO have friends who are fully supported by government handouts?

Both sides have friends that want the streams of cash (my hard earned money) to continue flowing.
 
Ask these idiots why Obama the socialist rich hating liberal has made the rich richer?


Then watch them scurry

Lol, I already answered that question but since you have the reading level of a 3rd grader, you wouldn't know that.

The "already answered" dodge

Suuuure you did. So go ahead and keep responding to me and saying you dont have the time to answer. It makes you look credible.

which policies would you change?

the tax code? already favors the poor by a huge margin

capital gains? already taxed, what % would you raise it to and what impact would that have on investment in new businesses?

EIC? already a negative tax for those under certain income levels

What would you change, Norton?

Dude, I get that. I'm not making an argument for excessive welfare or that everyone deserves to be "handed success", I'm making an argument that if we are to be successful as a country we must encourage a system where the best and brightest succeed for the most part vs THE BEST CONNECTED succeeding for the most part. I feel like the scales are quickly tipping to favor the latter.

When we have the shittier company A winning out simply because it can outbribe company B (who can provide a better service to society, ultimately) we're going to have some issues. No longer will our products and services truly be "the best", they'll simply be the companies which are "the richest" which benefits only a few. Eventually the system will implode because everything we do will be second rate.

This is the point I'm trying to make.

Thats why you keep responding right? Because you dont care
 
It's an election year and we will be hearing a lot if bull shit. No bigger pile of crap than "income equality" or lack thereof.

While we should have equality of opportunity (and we do), no one has a right to equality of outcome. The outcome of your opportunity is entirely up to you.

This whole issue is nothing but "spreading the wealth around" rehashed. Obama and the democrats didn't do anything about income equality in the first 5 years, in fact the gap has gotten worse, so they think that if they call it something else they can repackage it and sell it to the sheeple again and they will buy it. They have no real plan to do anything about it but campaign on it.

Equality of opportunity - free capitalist society
Equality of outcome - oppressive socialist society

You know I am conservative.

But I don't agree that we have equality of opportunity. And I am not talking about the poor.

There is so much wealth concentration that I believe we have people who are literally buying political systems (and these systems are populated with people who want to be bought) to protect their wealth.

There is nothing new in that, it has been that way since the dawn of man. There is no new ground being plowed here.

The USA in 1776 was the best change to change that but now we have allowed ourselves to revert to a feudal system with the govt as the king.

"Income inequality," like very other libturd propaganda meme, is a justification to loot your income. Libturds are always looking for ways to get their hands on more of what you have earned. Liberalism can't expand and grow without a growing share of the national product. They will never give up.

Tell that to the working middle class and most economists.
Income inequality is slowing the recovery because of less expendable income for the consumer class thanks to flat wages. Yet profits have been very, very good. Since 2009 a huge percentage of the income growth has been realized by only the few at the top.
Consider 70% of our economy is driven by consumer spending.
So I ask you, why do you hate America?
 
I understand we have a small percentage of our population that controls a major portion of our wealth and income

I have no desire to try to take away that wealth, but as a taxpayer, I question why we should continue policies that only serve to add to that wealth

which policies are those and which party put them in place?

Glad you asked....

Lets start with why Capital Gains are taxed at a lower rate than labor is

If one man works all year digging ditches for $25,000 and another makes $25,000 by clicking a mouse on a computer.....why does the Ditch Digger pay more in taxes?

The capital gains tax rate on $25,000 is 15% and the rate on a single taxpayer with an income of $25,000 is 15%. What do you propose changing?

An appeal to nature is an argument or rhetorical tactic in which it is proposed that "a thing is good because it is 'natural', or bad because it is 'unnatural'"
