Equality comes from “THE MARKET”.
You get paid what you are worth without interference from government.
If you are worth more you can get a higher paying job.
If you can’t get a raise and can’t get a better job then you could be paid more than you are worth.

“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213 th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”

Democrats and the media obsess on “income inequality,” but outcome inequality is the real plague of America’s poor.

I've said before that personal income is itself an outcome of one's education, value, and effort.

We have been fighting the "war on poverty" since 1965 and the poverty rate remains the same. It looks like Jesus was right when he said, "The poor you will always have with you." 20 Trillion dollars later, we should have listened!

"But he’s not rich because we’re poor. In fact, we’re not poor at all."

But we are getting poorer. Real wages have stagnated for those that still have jobs, but many have lost jobs and 100 million Americans are on food stamps now.

The problem is that we lowered the import tariffs and let every the excess labor in every third world country compete against the Americans worker. And the products of that labor is still sold into the American market not the foreign markets.

So what's happening is that the American workers are losing their jobs, and the Americans that still have jobs are buying the cheap imports, which enrich countries like China, while creating the incentive to for those countries to undermine even more American industries.

We need to raise the import tariffs and put American workers back to work.

Many millions of Democrats, who like me and my siblings grew up lower middle class i.e. poor fifty-sixty years ago, now have wealth beyond what they dreamed up in their youth.

I have two sisters, both strong Dems, who've become millionaires in total wealth working for one of those terrible, exploiting American corporations. Do you think they'd understand how they became so rich?

They do not. They think if we could get rid of greedy, white males, everything would be much better. I just laugh at them and ask them who they think built the structures allowing them to make all their money.

Yet one political party, aided by the media, is committed to convincing millions of their fellow Americans that they can’t get ahead, that “the deck is stacked against them,” or “the game is rigged.” Nothing could be more un-American.

Yes the Democrat Party’s message is and has been “the game is rigged.”

But a more important fact that goes unreported is that the Democrat Party under Obama has become more than ever the Party Rigging the Game.

Obama is the Rigger in Chief. Obama is the King of Crony Capitalism.

Obama is in the business of rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies.

Since his first day in office his administration has been all about rigging the game.

The bankruptcy proceedings of GM is the most glaring example of Obama rigging the game in favor of his friends and punishing his perceived enemies that I can think of at the monument. Perhaps others will add to the list.

The only reason that income inequality may be a Democratic campaign issue in 2016 elections is the following imo. Regardless that the the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate income equality, the corrupt, citizen-elected Senate is not only going to predictably work in cahoots with the corrupt RINO-controlled House to pass an unconstitutional, vote-winning income equality bill, but consider this.

Not only does the Senate wrongly help Congress pass unconstitutional bills, but the Senate also approves activist justices who wrongly declare unconstitutional laws, such as the anticipated income equality law, to be constitutional, just as they did with unconstitutional Obamacare.

What a racket!

The corrupt, citizen-elected Senate, not the Oval Office like Obama guard dog Fx News wants everybody to think, is the most unconstitutionally powerful office in the land.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

Bill Gates is richer than I'll ever be. However, his program MICROSOFT WORD has allowed me to earn a lot more money from writing than I could ever have done with my old Selectric typewriter. I don't begrudge him one penny of his wealth.

Unless someone literally stole from someone else, no one is poor because someone else got rich. That appears to be a difficult concept for many to understand, particularly the “social justice warriors” who obstruct traffic demanding their slice of other people’s pie.

That is just too much logic for the left to understand. Reasoning is not their strong suit.

I wonder what the percentages on control of “Freedom Equality” work out to be. I doubt that I could surround myself with an armed tactically trained strike team and bill the taxpayers....

The obvious question is where is the money?

Liberal/statists act like billionaires are hiding
it all under their mattresses, perhaps in some
huge vault like Scrooge McDuck. Yet, LIVs fall
for it every time.

The reason these people are billionaires is that
their money is out working, making them and everyone
else more.

What foolishness.
