Bripat loves his Fairy-tales for Capitalists books.From 1800 to the 1920s, inequality increased more than a hundredfold. Then came the reversal: from the 1920s to 1980, it shrank back to levels not seen since the mid-19th century.
What utter horseshit. The government didn't even gather statistic on income or wealth before the 16th amendment was passed, so how would anyone know? Just about everything you believe about history is made up.
The "reversal" came at the end of the 1920s when tax rates went up to 90%. The result was a depression that lasted for 15 years.
Yeah, that income inequality is a terrible thing.
BTW, numskull, when a society becomes industrialized, people acquire vast fortunes. You can't have one without the other. You see, the rich people are the ones who own the factories that employ everyone and churn out all those products that millions of people can now afford to buy. Most of a wealthy person's money is tied up in investments - meaning it's tied up in factories and machinery that provides the middle class with jobs.
Yep. And enjoying the capitalist's food, paycheck, healthcare, entertainment, etc., etc. Hypocrites, every one of them.We already know liberals believe capitalism is a fairy tale. They post this claim every day using their computers invented by capitalists as they sit in their homes built by capitalists with central heating manufactures by capitalists.

Indeed...and if they are so against capitalism, and ALL it produces? THEY should CEASE use of ANY device/practices and be true to their hatred of it. But they won't. They're by and large HYPOCRITES.Bripat loves his Fairy-tales for Capitalists books.What utter horseshit.

We are Capitalists my little moron, but unlike you we understand it and don't post the nonsense you've been told to.Bripat loves his Fairy-tales for Capitalists books.What utter horseshit.

Do you know why he paid his workers so well then? He wanted them to be able to afford what they built. That kind of thinking got him sued actually. See Dodge v Ford.Yep.

I love the numskulls who claim FDR created the middle class. Who do they think Henry Ford sold 20 million Model Ts to in the 1920s?
We aren't against capitalism, it has issues and it's not the right solution to every problem society has.Indeed...and if they are so against capitalism, and ALL it produces?

Very well said. This idiot however believes that jumping into a river to save a drowning child that you don't even know is a "purely selfish" act, so don't expect anything like a worthy response, you won't get one.Bripat loves his Fairy-tales for Capitalists books.

It is the love of knowledge and curiosity that invents things. Capitalism is the process in which one makes money of other people's work. Capitalism is self-interest and to a point that is good. There is a point at which self-interest for one comes at too great an expense of another. When these two are balanced it is call civilization. Great art was never made for the money, great literature was never made for the money, music, dance, scientific discovery were all made by people who were after something much more valuable than the dollar.

Koch's whine was one of the more cringe-inducing screeds from the right that I've seen lately. What is it with these right wing billionaires having these public hissy fits lately about being criticized? And that is all that is happening to them, by the way. Liberals are simply criticizing them for their preferred policies and the way in which they try to impose them. That's not oppression. That's no censorship. That's not despotism. It's simply criticizing them. They need to get over themselves.
Koch is a billionaire who inherited his wealth from his dad (not impressive) and has clearly surrounded himself with yes-men who give him whatever he wants and tell him every decision he does is right. So his eye-rolling over-reaction to the lack of deference that liberals have form him is to be expected. He is way out of touch. He needs to stfu.

I guess we can assume anyone on the message board promoting pure capitalism is getting paid to do so.
Well, unless you are George Soros, the Rockefellers, the Kennedys, David Geffen, Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, so forth and so on.Koch's whine was one of the more cringe-inducing screeds from the right that I've seen lately.

You're the one who's out of touch. If it's OK to criticize him, then why isn't it OK for him to criticize back? You're obviously a colossal left-wing hypocrite.
Also, the left has a target painted on the back of every rich person. The criticism now is intended to prime the pump for confiscation later. We know you plan on putting us all in concentration camps once you gain total power.
