I am talking successful socialists. Just as I stated.
I going to go way out on a limb here and suggest that socialists probably define "successful" a lot differently than you.

Eight years of bush tax cuts and five of Obama's cuts. Why aren't the job creators creating?

Younger than you yet he has published a book that is garnering all of this attention and praise, huh.
So you don't want to read his book before you call him a moron? Isn't that a little close-minded?

So you're like Bill Gates because you're going to write a book that will impact the world comparably to founding Microsoft?

SF I'm not a socialist and this isn't even about socialism. I am very interested in economic inequality and what it's doing to our country and the world. This guy wrote a book about it. I'm going to read it. You seriously have a problem.

I will see your BBC with a Daily Mail!!
Tom:
Let me know when your GDP is back to its pre-recession peak. It's only been, what, 5 years? Lol.
He would have to read it or attempt to read it before he could find that out. But I think he is going to find it tough sledding or several reasons and over his head when he does because he is not super at all; he is just mediocre!
If you haven't read anything about him or by him you do not have the slightest idea do you? Trust me Piketty's academic and internationally recognized accomplishments are already far superior to anything you will ever accomplish. He has also established two websites on income inequality historically and world widel It's the first time in history that such information has been accumulated and made available to a vast international audience of academics and people like yourself whose fear of facts will prevent them from actually looking at the information he and his colleagues have assembled over the past twelve years. The fact that you are so quick to dismiss him without even reading Krugman's review shows just how closed minded and infantile you really are mediocre man. Your intellect is so frightened by opposing ideas that you can't even read about them.
You might fool some here but you have never fooled me or Darla because as she said on another thread to 3D she is one of the two or three brightest people on this board and you certainly are not. It's not that you don't have a mind, it's just that you keep it imprisoned and feed it bread and water in the hopes that it never causes you any discomfort by actually beginning to disrupt the foundations on which your thousands of preconceived notions of how the world works are based. I can attest to two things, Darla is getting this book as soon as it available again, it is sold out right now. I was aware of it before it came out and I pre-ordered it and have already started it, and it is a fantastic book, that even Krugman's review doesn't do justice to, but he comes close. Piketty's method is masterful (the book has nearly 100 graphs based on the information be has accumulated) and his underlying data is far more extensive and accurate than anything you have at your disposal and he uses it to make an argument that you probably can't even grasp or get your head around. Sorry, mediocre man those are the facts!
But dismiss Piketty, who has already done more solid work than you will ever do, and his exemplary work here, because you don't like the topic! That's real smart! Such action brilliantly demonstrates the vast depth and breadth of your intellect!
How about you define the word "successful"?
That's not saying much, most of the competition is moronic at best! Who was so eloquent that you had to use two hands?
