Look, your entire argument is bull**** and easily disproven. The US is the wealthiest, most dynamic, and most innovative country in the world.

The fact that there is a major problem with income inequality in the US is not a problem created by the FED. It is a POLITICAL problem of fair redistribution. Redistribution of the country's income has nothing to do with monetary policy.

Blame lazy and ignorant voters/ non voters. Blame the politicians. Blame those running propaganda campaigns in favor of Darwinian capitalism. There is plenty of blame to go around but the FED does not control redistribution of the nations income.

I don't think we are in disagreement. Maybe misinterpretation, but not disagreement. Take it easy with your foul mouth.

The fed are an active participant of inequality. If they allow for a great depression to reset the economy, inequality would decrease. Obviously, arguing for the next great depression is asinine. It would be less painful if there was legitimate reform in the education system, banking system, and tax structure that serves to increase inequality.

I would also add disruption of the economy via technological advancements would make it difficult for any bureaucratic organization to stay ahead of inequality (given how reactionary and slow they are).

Like i say ,if i was smart enough to know what we need i would be doing lectures at the federal reserve and universities for a few hundred thousand .

I won' t waste my time with what if's . I rather spend my time learning how to do better myself and share what i learn so others can think about what they need to do.

I generally bring lots of thoughts and ideas from those who i think are the smartest people on the planet to c-d . They know they can't cure the world so their time is spent researching and formulating ways for us to do better and play those cards as best we can.

Now that my accumulation stage has been completed now my focus is planning better in retirement.

This is where the biggest myths , misinformation and old wives tales are and it hurts those trying to plan or

have as best a retirement as they can making the most of the assets they have

I'm not a conservative and I will never support someone who says it's okay to fire gay people. I'm a Bernie Sanders democrat/leftist. The policies I support are way to the left of the Clinton's and the Obamas. I like that Obama expanded Medicaid, but I would really support Sanders free Medicare for all.

I like Sanders free public college, which NYS just implemented. I like drug legalization, which is being instituted by Democrats in states across the country. I'm somewhat in favor of socialism, so I'm not sure why you think you have any chance of convincing me to support any conservative cause.

Who got fired for being gay? Either way it has nothing to do with this thread. But every time you say you want something free or expanded or your love for socialism, you just decreased your odds of ever owning property in NYC, Nyhypocritedude. BTW, the large majority of FED governers are Democrats, which yes, that is a conflict of interest, and puts independence into question.

When have I ever said owning property in NYC was ever something I wanted to do or have ever had any interest in?

My criticism of the Democrats is that they are liberals and I'm a leftists. Put socialists in charge and then I would be happy.

Re: gays in the workforce, Trump's justice department is defending a LI skydiving company that fired a man due to him being gay. The justice department has said civil rights laws don't explicitly deny discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

I've never claimed to be a libertarian or voted that way. The confusion is a figment of your imagination. I'm a socialist, not a communist. Learn to read well enough to look up the difference.
