Reich's solution for income inequality is to transfer wealth from the private sector to the public sector for redistribution. I can choose whether or not to use a private sector's services or products. The public sector does not offer me that option. What is going to break the economies of the nation, states and municipalities will be debt obligations for unfunded pension and benefits owed public service employees not Facebook or Instagram.

lol

we have been stupidly “redistributing” wealth worldwide for decades and it has accomplished nothing except making the morons of the world feel entitled to MORE and MORE.

The earth is too cold -- quick! Redistribute the wealth!
The earth is too hot -- quick! Redistribute the wealth!
The economy isn't growing -- quick! Redistribute the wealth!
The economy is growing too fast, and people are getting rich -- quick! Redistribute the wealth!

You know, after a while, I start to think that redistributing the wealth is the only thing they really have on their minds ...

Where else could a sawed off little nobody make something else of himself but in an environment where his needs (and those like him) are met by others willing to work.

Great. Let people decide how to do it — it’s called a “market”.

In every Democrat's mind is the following quote from an old Clint Eastwood movie....doin good ain't got no end. Never mind responsible spending, creating eh entices to grow, just tax the shit out of those who've earned money!

who's more selfish, those who pay more than 40% of their income in to form of taxes, or those who do little and want to take more? I'm all for a safety net, just not for taking all the successful people's money to pay for people who want the successful people's money.

Hey Shorty, how much of your wealth are you willing to give up?

Lately as Hillary approaches the throne, I’ve seen all the Clinton Crime Family members re-surfacing, LOL.

Kodak was selling buggy whips in the digital age. Their foray into the digital world simply wasn’t successful against established electronics makers like Sony.

However, Minolta, Canon etc made the transition smoothly just the same.

What this idiot fails to realize is that what he thinks is new is actually a return to how things were for most of human history.

Machines are serving the role that slaves typically did throughout history.

And the former slaves are now just sitting at home with their X-box collecting welfare for doing nothing.

As long as we as a society refuse to give the former slaves much more than they need to survive, in an effort to be humane, then we CAN and WILL continue on this path for ever. BUT if we listen to this liberal idiot and give them to much the whole economic system will collapse and EVERYONE will then be equally miserable.

A friend, operating from his home in Tucson, recently invented a machine that can find particles of certain elements in the air. He’s already sold hundreds of these machines over the Internet to customers all over the world. He’s manufacturing them in his garage with a 3-D printer.

Leftists love fake stories that fit their narrative. This little anecdote reeks of fake. 3D printers at this point manufacture objects out of plastic. No plastic object is going to be capable of detecting molecules; this requires electronics, circuits, metal. Oh, and throwing in a small specific, like the friend's location being Tuscon, is another tell. It provides an embellishment to the lie. Why not just name the "friend".

Their logic is flawed. The redistributionist logic has always been flawed.

The rich can only make money off the poor if the poor have money. The rich have to compete with other rich in the marketplace, for the money of the poor. Stagnation and monopoly are naturally selected against. A dynamic market will always persist/evolve, so long as government stays out of it.

Reich is an economics liberal ignoramus (sorry for the redundancy).

As his idiotic example points out he believes that all the employees that used to work for Kodak were not able to find any other job and that they’re either on the dole or starving to death.

About 100 years ago 95% of the people worked on farms. Today it’s about 4% - and mostly imported labor. Are 90% of the people unemployed and starving?
