Income Gap Is Literally Killing...

Income Gap, Meet the Longevity Gap

ANNIE LOWREY
MARCH 15, 2014

<snip>

This life-expectancy gap has started to surface in discussions among researchers, public health officials and Washington policy makers. The general trend is for Americans to live longer, and as lawmakers contemplate changes to government programs — like nudging up the Social Security retirement age or changing its cost-of-living adjustment — they are confronted with the potential unfairness to those who die considerably earlier.

...and for women-----for women the income gap means, not only does less income mean less longevity but-----but longevity for women is actually declining.


Get Rich, Live Longer: The Ultimate Consequence of Income Inequality

Here's the money chart and it tells a really sad story. In the richest country in the world, the expected lifespan of middle- and lower-income women is actually declining. At every income level, more money means more life.

No shit, rich people can afford better treatment. They can also fly to mexico and try alternative medicine

Dem Logic: we've been redistributing income since the 60's and things have gotten worse. The only solution is more redistribution!

 

[Edgetho]

Rich people aren't as likely to live in the crime-infested, dimoocrap scum-controlled slums of the Big City either. Wonder what the stats would look like if gunshot and murder victims were removed.

Poor people are far more likely to do dangerous drugs, to smoke, to ignore health warning signs, to allow infections to fester, to not shower very often, to drink to excess...

People don't act poorly because they're poor, they're poor because they act poorly.

IOW, if you're a dimocrap loser, if you can't do much right, if you make wrong decision after wrong decision, it carries over into your personal life.

Guys and gals, I've said it in here time and time again........ Being a dimorap isn't a vote, it's a way of life..... Stupidity. The height of stupidity.

How do you figure anything has been "redistributed"? Where do you even come up with that?

Rich people get richer at the expense of everyone else. In what way do you associate this with "taking from the haves and giving to the have-nots"? How do you justify this clearly illogical stance?

Yep, just proves that the commie programs do the exact opposite of their stated intent. Also isn't maobamacare supposed to fix this?

And HSBC got richer by funding terrorism (acting poorly). Do you want to reassess your world view? Of course you don't.

Take your meds, dewd.

Don't come back until you do

 

[KNB]

Yeah, because someone must be crazy to think that funding terrorism against America during a war against terrorism would be considered "acting poorly".

Rich people got richer by acting poorly, which entirely negates the idea that poor people are poor because they act poorly. If such were true, why do so many rich people get richer by acting so poorly?

LMAO. You ever think about running for political office? Republicans are looking for a few good men who can appeal to that hard to appeal to demographic.......and I ain't talking about the ultra rich (though their numbers have grown) poor people.

No,really, a career in politics is in your future.

are you just stupid?


first of all we dont live in a zeo sum world. Wealth can be created and everyone can win.

So tell me how in your world this works? How did or do the rich get rich at the expense of the poor?
second how come every rich person you bitch abojt is a republican?
do you bitch about jay rockerfeller? George soros? Harvey weinstein?

 

[Spoonman]

and now obamacare is not accepted at the top hospitals and clinics. The rich can't have the poor cluttering up their state of the art facilities. remind me again how the democrats are the party of the poor

Nothing that you said clarifies when or how money was taken by governmental force from the "haves" and "redistributed" to the "have-nots".

Where is all of this redistribution happening when 95% of the financial gains since 2009 have gone to the richest 1%?

Jeezus H Fucking Christ on a fucking pogo stick but you're stupid.

Ever heard of taxes? Ever heard of welfare? How about EIT?

How about we talk the Mods into giving us a Crayon font so that maybe we can explain this shit to you?

As uninformed and not-very-bright as you are, you really ought to read and learn in here for a few years before posting ever again.

 

[KNB]

95% of financial gains have gone to the richest 1% of the population since 2009.

Why are rich people getting richer, making 95% of financial gains if SOOOOO much of their wealth is being redistributed to poor lazy moochers?

 

[Iceweasel]

Maybe because rich people don't spend their day on the couch munching on Doritos and washing it down with fortified beer.

 

[ClosedCaption]

No shit, rich people can afford better treatment. They can also fly to mexico and try alternative medicine



is this really news to you?

There goes the republican bullshit argument that says people from other countries come here for treatment. Pay to live healthcare

No, in the case of HSBC, they spent their days FUNDING TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICA, which is perfectly okay with Republicans because anyone who says that HSBC was wrong just hates success, right?

 

[Redfish]

For all of you dem libs whiners, what exactly do you want done about the "income gap" ? What is your solution? If you try to take more taxes from the rich, they will move out of the country and take their money with them----how does that help the USA?

you fools just need to get over your jealousy and enjoy what you have. Money will not make you happier. Happiness cannot be bought.

anyone who goes to mexico for alternative treatment already has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

But yes, people do come to the USA for treatment from other countries. You will see a lot of non-ameicans at Mayo clinic, M.D. Anderson, Ochsner clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and all other top notch medical facilities in this country (the ones that obamacare is trying to destroy)
