Again with the "Commie" stuff. Who are you, Joe McCarthy?

Economic systems are not black-and-white, you know. None of them are.

Now you're attacking the notion of the "middle class"?!

Well, no wonder the right-wing Republicans are so unpopular now!

Earning your OWN money is "black and white" as you say. Go for the golden nugget.........or go for the vodka lines.

Yes, it must be hard to keep track of seven houses and tax-free investments in the Canary Islands. Poor rich people, they're so oppressed!

Even though the aggregate amount of wealth in the country is the same, if that wealth was divided among the bottom 41%, you would have 100 million shoppers instead of 4 (I believe).


100 million people buying groceries, clothes, gas, food, etc.

Or 4 people buying groceries, clothes, gas, food, etc.



Which is better for the Economy? Which is better for business?

How much gas do those 4 spenders use? How many clothes do they buy? How many times a day do they eat? Get a haircut? Buy cupcakes from their local cupcake store? How many restaurants can they attend?

KUChief you still haven't given an adequate response to what I drew up for you.

If your going to outraged at people addressing income inequality, you should at least understand basic Economics.

Your jealousy is showing again. I guess you think they should just give you a house that you didn't earn. Of course you do and they should probably pay you to live there because they have more money then you and if the said you you would scream about how they are starving you. LOL. Unbelievable.

Jealousy? No. Making the poor poorer in the process of making yourself richer is not something to be jealous of.

But yes, it does anger me.

I've already responded to you. Apparently you think the wealth should be share equally and all will be happy. If you feel different then I don't know what to say because that is what your post said. Waltons should hand it out to everybody to go shopping with. I'm sure they would all love it but would go spend it in a week and come back wanting more from some other rich folks.

How is owing seven houses making the poor poorer. Folks had to build those houses didn't they. Those evil rich folks employ lawncare folks and people to cook for em and clean their seven homes and pay for transportation to go to their homes and folks to take care of em when they aren't around and on and on and on. But in your eyes giving it to you would help out better? LOL
