Special Krugman Friday

You know what really drives inequality...

1) Stock market increases over the past five years (helps top 20% far more so than bottom 50%)
2) High levels of unemployment (kind of hammers those without jobs... who thus are in the bottom 50% of income... obviously)

You want a good start to resolving inequality... quit enacting policy that hurts job growth domestically. 5 years of inept management from the Obama admin... yet Dems want to blame 'the rich' (unless of course the rich in reference are democrats... then they are ok)

That type of drivel has been spewed forth many times in the past. Not shocking that Krugman would promote that nonsense.

Yeah it's drivel, okay. This guy is nothing compared to you Superfreak! You're the King! The best ever! The world literally shook when I opened your post! Does anyone have a cigarette? And not one of those e-cigs, I need the real thing after that! It's like, this morning I woke up a girl, and now I'm a woman!

Piketty was born on May 7, 1971, in Clichy, near Paris, to parents who had taken part in the May 1968 riots.[1] He gained a C-stream (scientific) Baccalauréat, and after taking scientific preparatory classes, he entered the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) at the age of 18, where he studied mathematics[2] and economics.
At the age of 22, Piketty was awarded his PhD for a thesis on the subject of wealth redistribution, which he had written at the EHESS and at the London School of Economics, under the supervision of Roger Guesnerie.
Career
After his thesis, Piketty taught economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1993 to 1995. In 1995, he joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) as a researcher, and in 2000 he became director of studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).
From late 2006 to early 2007, he was the first head of the Paris School of Economics, after spending three years creating it.

OMG What a moron! How could I waste money on this clown's book when I can just read anonymous poster Superfreak's Daily Diarrhea Diary instead. Boy am I gullible.

Didn't you know his real name is Thomas Bailey? Not related to the infamous Bill Bailey, but nontheless, he is a financial genius, a billionaire!

Anyone think SF ever heard the name Thomas Piketty (the "moron" author of the book) before this thread? I don't.

Nope... younger than me, french, favors redistribution of wealth. Why would he pop up on my radar? He has done nothing but write a book that he knows liberal morons will flock to buy.
 
Darla said:
Well I'm sure that your book will outsell his two-to-one. Are you going to include original material or just a compilation of your brilliant posts?

OMG... Bill Gates didn't write a book until the mid 1990's... that must mean he knew nothing about computers before then. Right Darla?

Tell me... what has Piketty done for economics? Other than spew forth nonsense on wealth 'redistribution'? Anything?
 
I crack myself up. I am kicking ass all over this board today, and for one post, I even had to stop answering my email simultaneously and write one post with both hands.
