"We need to redistribute wealth among Americans" WTF...why does this always sound so retarded to me?

[Brain357]

Without passing anything this is still obamas economy.

why do you say he hasn't passed anything? do you know what legislation has been passed? hmmm, more fake stories.

Funny how everyone who claims things passed never give examples.

Despite Claims To Contrary, Trump Has Signed No Major Laws 5 Months In

"The 40 Laws President Trump Has Signed
Repealing Obama-Era Rules And Regulations (15)

• H.J.Res. 67: "Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to savings arrangements established by qualified State political subdivisions for non-governmental employees"
• H.J.Res. 43: "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the final rule submitted by Secretary of Health and Human Services relating to compliance with title X requirements by project recipients in selecting subrecipients""

Those sound real important. You have one that really does anything?

they're all laws passed. you said he's done nothing. well, you're wrong. doesn't matter what the fk you think. it all happened and the MSM didn't discuss any of it.

So you don't have one that matters?

 

[Little-Acorn]

Our strength was the middle class. It is disappearing with our economic growth.

What? Members of the middle class are disappearing? Alien abductions maybe?

Or they are simply becoming more prosperous? And moving from the middle class to the upper class?

Ummm... that's supposed to be a good thing, isn't it?

What exactly is the problem here?

Or, could it be that, as prosperity spreads, people are realizing they don't need liberals any more? And maybe they never did? So the strength of liberals (and the Democrat party) is shrinking?

Again, why is that a problem?

Consider the source.

Again and again we hear liberals and other socialists saying they want to "redistribute" the wealth in this country. But that implies that the wealth was "distributed" by someone to us all in the first place, and maybe that someone did a bad job and the liberal socialists think they can do it better.

But wealth was never "distributed" to any of us, except maybe by welfare clerks to various indigent persons. But the $100 that's in my wallet now, wasn't distributed to me by anyone. A guy with a car and I made an agreement: I'd tune up his car and fix a few things on it, and he'd pay me $100 to do it. I tuned it up, changed the oil, and replaced two squeaking belts that were badly worn. He's happy, now it starts easier, gets better gas mileage, and doesn't make weird sounds as he drives. He'd much rather have a car that drives like this, than have the $100; and I'd much rather have the $100 and don't mind getting my hands dirty to do something I do well.

Nobody "distributed" anything to either one of us. He and I made a deal, both of us gave the other something of value, both of us are happy with the outcome.

But if our modern liberal socialists had come along just then, they might have taken the guy's $100, and the guy couldn't have gotten me to fix his car. He'd still have a sh*tty-running car that sometimes wouldn't start, I'd be $100 poorer... which means my son would be walking 3 miles to school instead of riding the bike I was about to fix up for him. The liberal socialists want me to think that a better use was made of that $100, than we would have made of it... but when we asked them exactly what the money was used for, they can't answer the question.

People who talk about "redistributing" wealth, are lying. What they are doing, is taking something that was yours, that you earned, and telling you that (a) they know better how to use it than you do, and (b) this somehow makes it OK for them to take it from you, whether you like it or not.

These people aren't "redistributing" anything, because your money wasn't "distributed" to you in the first place. You EARNED it, and you got it because you DESERVED it, not because some uninvolved bureaucrat thought your having it would somehow be a good idea and so gave his blessing on you to receive it.

"Redistributing" is the liberal socialists' way of implying you did NOT earn your money, and so it's not really yours. And pretending that his deciding what to use your money for, is the natural order of things. Not the idea that since you earned it, YOU should decide what to use it for. They're trying to get you away from that idea.

A man who jerks you into an alley, sticks a gun in your face, and demands you give him your money or he'll blast you, is doing the same thing those liberal socialists are. The only difference is, the guy with the gun is being more honest and straightforward about it. He's not pretending you owe him anything, and not trying to get you to believe that what he's doing is "moral", and not trying to fool you into thinking that your keeping your money is eeevil.

Next time one of our liberal socialists tells you he wants to "redistribute" the wealth, remember what he's really saying. And remember that in many ways you'd be better off with somebody sticking a gun in your face.

America's shrinking middle class is killing the economy

From link
Only about a quarter of a percent of US households have climbed up the ladder from the middle class into the upper-income bracket since 2000, according to the latest review by the IMF. Meanwhile, more than 3% of middle-income households have moved into the low-income bracket.

That's a flip from the trend between 1970 and 2000, where middle-income households were more likely to move upward.

Seems that way if you oppose free public education

It's unfortunate that whoever educated you ripped off the taxpayers.

Best education New York State can provide

If you're the best they can do, it's unfortunate that whoever educated you ripped off the taxpayers.

He sounds like he was public schooled.

Nothing better than a good public education

Made America great

Too bad you didn't get one.

Study: Trump has eliminated $86B in regs

You don't care. You want him to fail and instead, his policies are working. Must be driving you nuts!

 

[Markle]

Trump has done nothing to change the economy. It is still obamas economy.

Few fries short of a happy meal aren't you?

 

[Markle]

That's very easy. Ban tax expenditures and lower tax rates for everyone.

Ban all tax deductions.

 

[Markle]

Some of us thought he had a mandate to "bailout blacks", not just the rich.

I take it that you are discussing petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama. As you know, blacks suffered the most under his reign and the "rich" got even richer and there are fewer in the middle bracket. How is that good for Progressives?

A question for trumpeters. If trump is successful bringing jobs back and kicking out immigrants increases wages, won't this change the distribution of wealth?

 

[rightwinger]

Tax cuts on the wealthy and cuts to programs that help working Americans has resulted in a redistribution of wealth (upward) for thirty years

Why is trying to end a failed experiment in supply side economics being considered redistribution of wealth?

There is no failed experiment.

Your first (of many) fallacies.

Stop lying.

They make billions while tax payers subsidize labor.

Make being the key word.

I've indicated how the subsidized labor could be stopped. No more handouts.

You said the Walton family had few skills. How does someone with so few skills make enough to buy you a million times over?

They were born to Sammy. Being born isn't a skill. We all did it.

Blacks were born black. Why should being born black get you special consideration when it comes to admittance to college or hiring?

Because until very recently in history they literally COULD NOT do those things!!

They've been able to do those things for years. Don't equate not willing to do so with being unable to do so.

You asked why legislation is necessary. That's why. Because up until very recently in American history they couldn't even share a sidewalk or a drinking fountain with a white, let alone a school. You think racism that our country was built on and operated on for centuries disappeared completely in a few decades you're a moron and missed the events of the kkk all over the country recently.

 

[Aries]

You are the one who said being born was a skill.

You're the one that thinks because they were born to Sam Walton they didn't have to do anything to learn how to run a business. Are you saying they were born with the ability to run a company?

They don't run the company. None hold positions in the company.

Not any more. They've done their work. Now it's time to enjoy the fruits.

And the people who worked their fingers to the bone actually building said company, THE WORKERS, fuck them right? Work until their old and crippled and HEY! Take away those meals on wheels, they don't get any fruit!!

The workers got paid when they were working. If they thought they could have done better, they could have started their own companies and competed with Sam Walton or any other business.

I've seen those workers at Walmart. I have yet to see one working their hands to the bone.

If you think those on the low end need more, give them your money. Why is it that when bleeding hearts like you say someone needs something you demand others pay the price. Why don't you pay it yourself if you deem the need is a worthy cause?

I do give them my money. And so do you, in the form of food stamps because their billionaire bosses would prefer for US to subsidize their wages.
