You must love a stagnant economy and big government.
Excuse me Brainiac but you are the one who thinks government should be involved in everything not me.
And government fucks up the economy more than any private citizen ever could.
If you want to make more then stop whining, get off your ass and make more.
No actually what I proposed would make government smaller. Please post where I said any of those things.

OK lets add to the already gargantuan tax code vague terms like "decent wage" "Decent benefits" "decent retirement" and then add even more trying to define and enforce those ambiguities.
Yeah that makes government smaller.
The solution to the income gap is not to bring down the rich but to raise up the poor.
How do we do that? Get the govt out of trying to manipulate our economy, eliminate corporate taxation (consumer pay it, not corportions), and incentivize investment in the USA.
in other words-----------create jobs through the private sector.
we should also improve our educational system, dump failures like common core and the teachers union, and allow school choice to every parent.
If you must involve the govt then let it fund job training for blue collar skills. We have a shortage of plumbers and electircians and carpenters and car mechanics. Get the kids off the ghetto streets and into job training.
If you idiots spent half as much time actually working to improve your situation as you do crying and whining you'd all be fucking millionaires by now.
That is strange. More government has never worked....
Having no government has never worked either
No one has ever suggested having no government. NO ONE.

So are you talking about eliminating corporate taxation no strings attached? Don't let spiderman hear you want to eliminate a tax.
How would you incentivize investment?

No one has ever suggested having no government. NO ONE.
No one has ever suggested having a totalitarian government. NO ONE
So I guess that leaves us somewhere in the middle doesn't it?
The big myth about income inequality that just won't die - The Week
Modern life is fraught with very expensive risks lurking around every corner. A sudden illness or accident could render you disabled and unable to work. A recession or economic restructuring could render you unemployed and render the skills you've spent your life learning useless. Reaching old age with inadequate savings could mean living your golden years in poverty.
Many societies have created robust social insurance systems to protect their populations from these kinds of risks. The U.S. has done so as well, but to a much lesser extent. Because social insurance in the U.S. is so inadequate, it is incumbent upon people to self-insure against these risks. That means they need to have enough wealth to draw upon as a cushion if they end up facing hard times. But here's where the social contract fails: When the bottom half of the country owns basically none of the country's wealth, they can't self-insure themselves against these risks. Instead, they must lead a relatively perilous life in which one misstep or mistake could wreck them and their families.
No such thing as income inequality? When the American economy was enjoying its salad days in the 1950s, there was a vibrant middle class that could afford housing, cars and tuition with one income. The wealthiest paid a marginal tax rate in the 90% range. Companies were highly profitable and the ratio of income between the highest paid executives and the MEAN earnings of the workers was close to 40:1. Today, that ratio is closer to 450:1! And today living expenses have risen, savings is harder as a result and tuition costs are through the roof. There goes that vibrant middle class!THIS stupid thing again?The big myth about income inequality that just won't die - The Week

One more time...There is no such thing as income inequality. The simple reason is income has never been equal. Nor has income ever intended to be equal.
Of course the solution is what? A gigantic social safety net system funded by confiscatory taxation?
Examples of this are in Western Europe. Where these socialist countries have run out of "other people's money" and have had to look to wealthier nations such as Germany to bail out their failed systems.
Have you no ability to look beyond the borders of the US to realize that these systems are not sustainable?
Consumer spending drives this economy. Take away the spending power of the middle class, keep wages flat for the majority of wage earners and the economy slows. Why aren't Conservatives concerned with the state of the economy when history screams into their faces?

When income inequalities persist, violence ensues.

History would agree with that, but there has never been a society quite like ours...
Is this the aggressive side of your passive beliefs?
Very hypocritical coming from a liberal, you advocate or better yet suggest violence is the result...
The simple truth is you can't always get what you want!!
But if try sometime you get what you need...
Grow up, wytch. I was joking with you. Did you miss the big smile at the end of my post?
Your sensitivity to the truth makes me wonder about you.
Well, then I apologize profusely. You do have a pattern, Fishy, of bringing up my sexual orientation regardless of the thread.
Seriously Fish, if you're that curious, PM me and I might just answer your questions, otherwise do try and stay on topic.
As much as you would like to talk about it in private messages, I am not the least bit interested in what you and your wife do in private. I try not to let my imagination run in that direction because it always causes my stomach to produce acid.
Maybe you can interest some of the other gay forum members in a "this is what we do" thread.
The biggest problem of income inequality is turning the US into a third world country.

Does the increased font size help with your feelings of inadequacy? Please point out where I advocated violence.

YOu may not have suggested a violent uprising, but you would condone it.
