The guy who convinces you that your income is unfair, and to whom you give the power to fix it, becomes king.
You have 10 bucks. Your buddy has a hundred. With your help I extract 10 bucks from your buddy. So now you have 20 to his 80 and I own both of you. You need me to get more from your buddy and he needs me to keep you from mugging him.
I am now your king.
War on women.
Income inequality.
Fund a libertarian to split the non-Dem vote.
It’s all obvious but can we defeat it?
Sorry but
“INCOME INEQUALITY” is not in the US TAX CODE IRS,
but “EARNED INCOME” is
“Oct 24, 2013 - EITC, the Earned Income Tax Credit, sometimes called EIC is a tax credit to help you keep more of WHAT YOU EARNED.”
Sorry you SOB Bum Obummer, you can`t have it both ways.
Success or failure or mediocrity are all in between the ears.
Who decides what is fair and what is too much inequality? Why do they get to be the ones who decide? And how do they know it? Why not let the free market decide? That will be the most optimal, most efficient, and most beneficial way to produce and distribute.
I hope to see conservatives take the bull by the horns on this issue.
I will frustrate liberals to say this, but I am in favor of income inequality. In that, I think it’s fair and right and proper that surgeons earn more than hired help at fast food restaurants. I think it’s fair and proper that skilled building tradesmen such as electricians, get paid more than “gofer” workers at construction sites.
It’s fair and proper that lawyers earn more than someone who does janitorial or housekeeping work.
I welcome this debate that the liberals apparently want to have. I would have to say that I’m in favor of inequality, whereas the liberals want to push this meme that inequality is bad. Why is it bad? Let’s have the debate.
How much more ‘income inequality’ can you get than JOBLESSNESS AND SUSTAINED HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT under Obama?
Income inequality is bad. The congressjerks make more than me. Plus they get perks that I don’t get. Plus they get free healthcare, plus free parking.
Let’s be fair. They should make what I make. They should get the same priviliges as me (none).
Then we’d have income equality.
One good thing about income equality would be simpler tax filing. Everybody makes the same money, everybody pays the same taxes.
Financial elites must laugh and laugh at this, until they cry they laugh so hard.
Of course, of the total number of people actually earning mimimum wage, only a minute fraction of them ever actually attend any “demonstration”.
Because most people realize that are low wage earners definitely desire to earn more than the “minimum”. For most people, minimum wage jobs are temporary and transitional, only part of the household earning picture.
The usual organizers round up their troops and put the “demonstrations” on, while the rest of the world goes on working.
The elites’ news media, of course, uses it as fodder to feed their liberal viewers on the 6 o’clock snews.
If left to politicians, they’d prefer redistribution.
that:
Free Bubble up
and
Rainbow Stew
These idiots think they can bring about prosperity by spending printed money and picking winners and losers. Classic example is their green energy aptitude and waste versus what should be an economically winning energy plan.
Picking winners and losers is not up to them, the free market system will take care of it. Takers don’t need to be in business helped with tax money and competing with the ‘you did build that businesses’ with a first pig at the trough advantage of being classified as disadvantaged to start with.
Well, you get the drift. sigh
I invented a card game some years ago I call Democrat Hold’em. First all the players are dealt two cards. Then all women and minorities are dealt an extra card, to make up for past discrimination. Next, those player who received bad cards can complain to the dealer and show them their cards. Those that the dealer judges have received unfair cards get another one. The play continues to showdown. Rather than turn your card over, the dealer looks at each person’s hand, and distributes half the pot to several players according to who he decides deserves to win. The house keeps the other half. Players then tip the dealer to ensure they get a part of the next pot. When players cash out, the house takes another 45% of the players winnings.
Democrat Hold’em tournaments play the same, except everyone gets a trophy.
Like how much goes out (wrote the Treasury another five figure check today) to support all this nonsense?
How about we rank people by how much they pay and see where those chips fall?
