That's exactly how to tell him that. I'm pretty sure he knows it by now, though, and the insight doesn't appear to have led to change.

income inequality is absolutely one of the key domestic issues of our time. it is closely intertwined with many of the other major issues in our current society.

is ronald reagan's budget director a brainless idiots that poop on the streets and bang drums?

you know, the same guy who crafted reagan's famed trickle down policies that have helped to create our current level of inequality.

he's probably just a worthless no good hippy, right?

DUMB ? -- go look in a mirror or maybe a shiny toilet bowl full of dark diarrhea, where you might see your own idiot face reflected back -- pathetic excuse for excrement!

What the heck does "income inequity" have to do with anything that is the legitimate concern of any level of government under the US Constitution? If people are not capable of doing anything that is VALUABLE then they ought not have any income. Losers that have no skills and no motivation do not deserve a dribble of spit. Heck even the pathetic fake beggers that ask morons if they "spare any chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange" at least have the gumption to sit on bridge at rush hour.

If David Stockman wants to hand out healthy sandwiches to the mentally ill that might be wonderful show of generosity but it is COMPLETELY OUTSIDE THE LEGITIMATE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT! He can take his idiot "born again do gooder charity" to someplace where people want to institute some kind of theocracy.

You pathetic moronic media driven brainless driveling FOOLS are completely missing that fact that centuries of work to secure a nation tht affords the most liberty to the most people cannot be based on some made up load of crap that would punitively cofisicate the fruits of one's risk and labor!

Keep watching the "card tricks" while your WALLETS ARE CLEANED OUT!

(Btw -- no hippy, but not exactly a trust worthy source of valuable business sense -- David Stockman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Go hang out with your pal, and bounce whatever you wish to off his wretched "soul" you freaking turd!

damned right, chet; you tell 'em. you the man! and if a loser like tiny tim can't find a way of doing anything that is VALUABLE, he doesn't deserve to be around next christmas. if there was any justice in the world, they'd take his dang crutch away since it feeds his dependency. our economy and society needs people like kim khardashian, glen beck, and the koch brothers who work hard, add value to our lives, and are totally deseving of all those millions (for the Kochs, make that billions) they make. Chet, I've argued with you in the past. I'm man enough to admit: "when I'm wrong, I'm wrong." Today, born again, I see the light. Now I'm with you 100%, bro. i, for one, am delighted to proclaim "I Am A Proud Everettite!"

this is a brilliant and most insightful observation. i think of all those wonderful townships that happily occupy all that local space throughout fortunate Cook County. Those townships do a brilliant job and affect our lives in so many ways, far more so than the government in far off DC could ever do.

If you are not joking then things are farther gone than they seem.

The decline of th US was started under Reagan and somewhat reversed by Clinton. GWB II essentially drove a stake into the heart though. And here we are today.

thanks, chet; much appreciated. i am proud of my Carson Pirie Scott education. for the record, I minored in Marshall Field's. Flunked Wieboldt's, but considering what Wieboldt's was, not sure that was any sort of loss.

er.....Chet.....where did you get the idea that "promote the general welfare" has anything to do with handing out welfare checks to those who don't deserve them? to me, "general welfare" means quality, affordable education, quality, affordable health care, quality, safe, affordable roads and public transportation, handicapped accesible buildings,clean air, safe water, inspected beef, regulated skies, environmental protections. y'know, the stuff we used to call "the commons".....or did you think the common was nothing more than a stretch of Boston parkland?

Chet, can you introduce me to your straw man friend, that invisible so called liberal/progressive guy who actually favors indiscriminantly handing out welfare checks to everyone and anyone. "Here! Free Money! No work, no effort! C'mon get it!" ooops, my bad! that's what we say to our wealthy, our banks and our corporations in our socialist system (you know, welfare for business, aka fascism). Kind of goes along with what you think about our terrible, dangerous, blighted downtown Chicago: it's a loop hole.
