No, thanks.
It's pretty amazing that she left India to push socialism in America.

Nice rhetoric (or, rather, propaganda). What policies "concentrate wealth at the very top?" How is wealth "concentrated at the top?"

Wealth is created. It is earned. Wealth is created when something of value is produced. It is not finite. Wealth is infinite, because it is created.

Those at the "bottom" have no wealth, so how can it be (by your assumption) taken from them and "concentrated at the top?"

Your arguments defy logic. You are incapable of rational thought. You are an example of the brainwashed masses, who have not been taught how to think.

You have been taught what to think.

I refer you to the countless other threads on C-D on this very topic.

I can give an example of where Democrats (and RINOS) do it. Not so much from the poor, but take from the middle class and give to the rich. We know that the area surrounding DC is now the richest (by median income) region in the nation.
DC metro area is super-rich: 7 of the 10 ten counties are in the DC suburbs.

Yet what do democrats propose as the solution to almost every problem? Take money out of the pockets of those in flyover country, and spread it around DC.

Bill Gates produced things of value. Programing, and operating systems. These were the products of his innovation. His intellectual property. They belong to him. They are not produced to distribute free of charge, without compensation for his work. Why should he work for free?

This sickness that is spreading among liberals in this country is not new. This kind of evil has been fought by those before us, who died for our freedom.

The enemies of Liberty, it seems, will always be with us.

Here's one!

Cruz tackles wealth concentration | MSNBC

Quote:
“The rich are doing just great,” he [Cruz] said, the type of thing that if said by Mr Obama would draw accusations of “class warfare.”

“You know the top 1 per cent – the evil millionaires and billionaires the president likes to talk about all the time – they have a higher share of our income at any time since 1928,” Mr Cruz said.

So why aren't you as rich as Bill Gates? Is there something wrong with you?

The rich and the corporations are the enemy of the people and she plans to battle both.
What is a corporation, but a group of people, who produce products or services for our benefit? They are entrepreneurs with ideas to make life better. They produce products that we want.

Corporations are not evil.

It is this woman, and those like her, who are evil.
