The richest 1 percent now owns more of the countrys wealth than at any time in the past 50 years

Why do you people think spouting these nonsense talking points is making an argument? The rich have already stolen from the poor in this country. That's why the wealth has gone all to the top. What is wrong with you people? Turn of fox news and open your eyes to the real world, you are harming only harming yourself by believing this nonsense (assuming you are not the 1%)

And look at some of the other predictable, dumb deflections that somehow right wingers think are making an argument "errrrr Socialism" " errr you are just jealous." Funny, the same people voted Trump whining that their coal and manufacturing jobs are going away. Who's doing that? THe 1%, take your jobs to get even more richer, basically take money out of your pocket while they distract you with "abortion, gays, muslims, steal your guns"

 

Stolen? How?

Im not 1% and i couldnt care less about anyones tax rate. Their tax rate has absolutely affect on my ability to create wealth.

 

I have given you logic and evidence, but most importantly, YOU are the one who has only insults on this when you only reply "envy". You insult all of us who understand the dangers when you leap to such slanders. That is a personal attack. So if I return an insult about your offensive personal opinion, you had it coming.

 

It's gooooood to be rich!!!!

Rather than envy them, perhaps it might be a better strategy to find out how they got there.

Just ask Chris Gardner about that strategy. The wrote a book and made a movie about him doing that.

 

What danger? The only thing I can think of is the danger from those that believe the rich must suffer for being successful.


Now if you want to have a discussion about reducing income disparities, we can do that.

 

An mere retreat away from the rerigging of the economic system and wealth resdistribution at the behest of the donor class that fomented this will do.

 

Nah, your donor/Wall Street/"job creator" class will never allow your political system, which is in essence the same entity as the onor/Wall Street/"job creator" class, to entertain such a notion.

 

Spot on.

This is the core danger.

However monopolies can stifle opportunity for the little guy.
For example as a small hold farmer I may sell my surplus apples to a local store.
But a big supplier may demand that store take an exclusive lisence to sell their apples.
Store has no choice, since I can't meet it's total demand.

I can't sell my apples any more. I go bust. Family starves, elderly and children die.

So while the core of this argument is basically envy in my eyes, there is a real issue here also.

 

The country doesn't own wealth. Individual people own wealth. And the wealth any person owns doesn't belong to the country.

 

There are no real issues we have 97% employment, antitrust laws, and 130,000,000 smart phone super computers toys in our pockets at $140 a month.

 

There is no issue whatsoever. Under capitalism a monopoly will encourage competition under a liberal communism every industry is granted a monopoly. Do you know which is better
