UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures

This is the road to ruins for the vast majority of Americans...

This is the model of Africa and central America. Is that what you wish for? All the wealth in the hands of 5-10% of the population and most everyone else being nothing more then serfs.

India is a good example of this also.

Since they realize they are so few, it is surprising they do so little to preserve themselves long term. It happens throughout history.

So if the “ lazy rich” left America where would the funding come from? Doyathink?

where are the Lazy Rich going to go? Besides the fact we are more than capable of seizing their assets before they leave, most of the rest of the advanced world is far more socialist than we are...

Every time one of you progressives starts talking about "seizing" the wealth of the super rich I can only shake my head and laugh out loud. Let me be quite blunt about this, Joey...the one thing that very rich people are VERY good at is protecting their wealth! They aren't going to sit there and let you take that wealth from them. They're just not! Every time you've tried...the rich have put their wealth into places you can't get to. So what do you end up doing? You end up going after the upper middle class because THEY can't run from you! It's what you've always done and it's what you'll do once again if given the chance.

Okay, you keep telling yourself that. I know you really need to believe it.

You want equality? Everyone pay 20% of their income no matter the source in a fair flat tax. That’s equality.

A rich guy whose income is from an inheritance and a poor guy whose income is from actual work do not contribute equally to the economy. The poor guy contributes more.

You are full of Shit....

The Rich guy pays a tax on his

property and everything he buys.

And he would still contribute nothing to the economy. No goods or services. The rich guy could literally be as worthless as a comatose or paralyzed John Paul Getty III and still "pay taxes." Do you really think something that's more or less dead can contribute goods or services?

Haven’t you ever heard of the death tax?

When he's dead, he still produces no goods or services. He's little more than a lazy king.

Has a poor man ever produced any jobs?

Yes, whenever he buys something, he produces the need for a good or service. A need by someone who works, so that the economy works. When a rich paralyzed retard buys something, it's a one way street. Nobody is ever going to get any goods or services back from him.

You socialist are very confused.

Why hate on the successful?

I hate on the useless. Especially the rich useless.

I bet it sucks to be you...

It is a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

It is wrong and it needs to stop!

Do you understand the definition of poor? If somebody is poor, they have little or no wealth. Ergo there is little or no wealth to transfer to the rich, which by the way, rich means you already have wealth.

Did you ever know someone collecting a government freebie who actually could work and provide for themselves? I have met some and seen plenty of them. Yes, some people need help, but you candyass Libs give away government money at the expense of the tax payer way too easy. My experience is that many of the Libs like you have extreme guilt because you didn’t earn what you have. Most of you volunteer, and will give freely of your time, but won’t or can’t give money. That’s why you like the government to give money. It’s everybody else’s money that gets given away. Not yours.

 

[skookerasbil]

Lol....Soetero set the new standard for the rich getting richer! The big banks loved the guy!

The rich get richer, and the poor get...

Progressives never said dick while millions went into the poor house, especially blacks!!!!

UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures
Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Anyone that isn't rich should think twice before they ever vote republican again! I am dead serious.

So, I'm a bit curious, exactly what do you Marxists mean by income equality?
Should the high school drop out who flips burgers be making the same income as the person that attended six years of medical school, two years of residency and another two years of a specialty? OR....do you mean that the person that flips burgers at McDonald's should make the same as the person that is preparing tacos in Taco Bell?
I can agree with the latter, after all, neither has any technical skills other than being able to build a sandwich. However, the other is living in fantasy land. In the first scenario, there's "no" incentive for someone to become a general physician or cardiac surgeon, if he/she makes no more than a burger flipper.
On a very simplistic scale, a society consists of:
Farmers (produce and livestock).
Migrant farm produce pickers.
Commercial drivers (produce/product transporters, taxi drivers, etc.).
Grocers.
Shelving stock personnel.
Military (officers and enlisted, which tends to mean different income brackets).
Government employees.
Office workers.
Food service personnel.
Retailers.
Custodial personnel (janitors, etc.)
Law enforcement.
The others require a good deal of college or specialty training:
Emergency service workers (paramedics, fire personnel).
Doctors.
Nurses.
Lawyers.
Assorted scientists of differing fields.
The latter batch of people are going to see no benefit to putting in so much training if the pay is no better than say, a migrant produce picker.
As for Marxism, it still remains unsuccessful.
North Korea: Excluding the politburo politicians, everybody is poor, many are hungry and even the military enlisted personnel are poor.
Venezuela: The populace is not only poor but starving. The government likes to blame the US, be we aren't involved in their issues..
Vietnam: Most are living poorly.
Cuba: Most are living poorly.
China: Most are living poorly.
Sweden/Norway/et cetera: These are actually free Capitalist countries with some Socialist programs, however, because of the huge influx of migrants, their economies are tanking under the financial strain of demands on their social programs.
I suggest actually taking the time to read our US Constitution, it's Amendments, Federalist Papers and take some courses on business economics.

What's amusing, Joey...is that you don't! Time after time...you on the left go after the rich and time and time again they play the game far better than you do and give up nothing. You're like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football...
