This is what happens when government gets involved in the name of helping the poor.
Obama’s lawsuit against Citibank was one element of a national “anti-redlining” campaign led by Chicago’s progressive groups, who argued that banks unfairly refused to lend money to people living within so-called “redlines” around African-American communities. The campaign was powered by progressives’ moral claim that their expertise could boost home ownership among the United States’ most disadvantaged minority, African-Americans.
If you whiny tulips would go out and work and save your money religiously and invest it..you would disempower these rich dudes. It's always those who whine the most about the wealthy happen to be those that are the most jealous type of people, and almost always to a fault are fiscally irresponsible. The more money you spend on junk and things that aren't necessities..the more you empower the wealthy and disempower yourselves. In this world there will always be people that have more than you..and those that have less than you. Get used to it, orsuccumb to a life of whining and excuse making that may make you feel better inside, but won't put you in a better position.
Exactly. And I bring up that fact when people complain about greedy corporations and profits. It is STUNNING how many people don't understand that simple fact.
Still, people, especially rich ones, better get worried about the middle class disappearing. If that happens hardly anyone will be able to buy the products and services rich CEOs want to offer from their various businesses and companies.
This guy gets it. The capitalists bemoan the rising trend towards socialism, yet fail to see that our capitalist system has been increasingly benefitting them but failing the middle class and below. As a result people demand a change to that which isn't working for them. If you don't want to move to a socialist system, you better make sure everyone benefits from capitalism. As it stands, this is not occurring. Executive pay goes up and up, benefitting from increased worker productivity. But the workers, the middle class on which our society depends, sees stagnate wages, or pay cuts or even job losses as a result. Hell, the CEO will outright cut jobs to give himself a bonus. People are fed up!

Are you really that good that you know what others know or don't know? I doubt it!
When the revolution comes, I'll join the pitchfork-wielding yelling masses in the streets.
But I won't be the one to start it.
just stay in the big cities and you wont get to my place until all the cities have burned to the ground. part of the reason I moved to the lowest population state was to get rid of all the masses of people in any given area.

I read somewhere that all we would have to do is raise prices by 5 cents...5 cents! To cover the minimum wage claim. God forbid people actually WANT to work for $9-$10/hr right off the bat.
That gets more money flowing in the economy and gets people spending more money. How is this a bad thing?
It isn't.
