The entire article boiled down to one sentence:
“It sucks I am not one of them (the rich).”
This coming from a guy who is supporting the crony capitalism and government that is destroying the middle class.
Krrugman’s net worth is 2.5 million.
Share the wealth (with me), Paul.
Profit is an ugly thing, except for the liberal getting profit, of course.
Someone should point out to the mental midget that the rise of percentage at the bottom is because A) Government handouts have ballooned under BroncoBama giving the takers no reason to work for it and B) Double digit unemployment again thanks to Bronco’s economic policies and ZeroCare might just play a role in his calculations.
An extremely wealthy woman showed me how to put on an upholstery package for my ‘68 Mustang today. While I was there she took several calls for two of her businesses. I’ve been there late on a Sunday and at 9:00 PM, she’s still transacting business. I’ve never worked as hard as her. She deserves every penny. (Incidentally, it was in the forties and her house heat is off. She only turns it on when it’s in the thirties.)

There is noboby more undeserving than Krugman and his Nobel Prize.
Think of this:
The Liberals Demand that we teach our children Evolution in school when they grow up and to think that Creative Design and Divine Intervention are a fantasy.
All at the same time they are paying some of those parents who have kids in the those same failing schools not to work, but instead they are using “Government Divine Intervention” to pay their parents to have more kids and not to work. All while taking money from the evolution winners of doing hard work.
How can Liberals be so blatantly schizophrenic that their own policies are an anathema to their supposed “ideals”....?
That is because the “ideals” are not “ideals” but a means to an end, instead they are a tool for their REAL ideal: That of lording power over in their colorful spiteful language the “masses”....
Nice another rich upper class white man lecturing us about the evils of wanting a better life.
Krugman is absolutely bankrupt intellectually.
Welfare, minimum wage, labor unions, big government, focusing on “income inequality” - these are all ideas rooted in Karl Marx. And anyone who wants these ideas is a Marxist - doesn’t matter if they call themselves “socialists” or “progressives” or “communists” or “columnist at the NYT”.
And what did Karl Marx want? What was his entire thesis of the Communist Manifesto?
Marx wanted the DESTRUCTION of the middle class. He HATED the middle class. He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.
Since that wouldn’t be feasible in a lot of places, he proposed the ideas above. He told his followers: implement high taxes. Push for regulations and labor unions. Fight “income inequality” using the power of the government.
That will destroy the middle class.
So here we sit in 2014. We’ve implemented all this Marxist drivel and Krugman is stunned that the middle class is taking it on the chin?
Give me a break.
Yeah - there is a widening divide between the rich and the poor because there’s nothing in between them. The middle class is being hollowed out.
But the middle class keeps voting for this...
The problem is poverty, without which democrats would lose all their power.
So his scam is to convince people that wealth is the problem.
I always believed the old saying: If you take all the money away from the rich and destribute it to the poor... in 6 months the rich will have it right back.
Can you say “Illegal Alien”?
The bottom half of the work force is unskilled labor. The encouragement of illegal aliens has flooded the unskilled work force market with illegal aliens that would not otherwise be here and there would be upward pressure on wages.
American capitalism as currently constituted is undermining the foundations of middle-class society — shouldn’t be up for argument.
American capitalism as currently constituted can not be compared to 1970 thanks to the Crony Capitalism that has taken its place. In 1970 the US was much closer to true capitalism than it is today and US dominated the world economy. Trying to compare the US of 1970 to the US of today is a false argument.
What is funny is that Billionaires like Gates, Buffett, Cuban, and others agree w Libs like Krugman and the “ Hate Rich Dude “ crowd.
Earlier today I read the unemployment among black teenagers was something like 35%.
Just maybe if the leftist Democrats stopped illegal workers from entering the USA, there would be good paying jobs for the unemployed blacks.
But the leftist Democrats want it both ways. Open borders and unlimited blacks on the welfare dole.
Gov't inflation numbers are bogus.
There are plenty of undeserving rich. They are the ones who used the coersive power of government to get there. Any unionist with a fat pension, any congressman who started middle class and leaves a millionaire, any professor who takes large federal grants to produce the “right research,” and any crony capitalist who lobbies the government to kill competition.
