So, you have nothing is what you are saying? You pretend that I should have known this guy. I am asking you... WHY?

Yet you have nothing. That is all you needed to say.

Mediocre man doesn't care how the wold actually works he has his myths to protect him from such uncomfortable phenomenon as insight. He also has the curiosity of a slug!

When you blame everything about the job situation on Dems or Obama, I have a hard time taking seriously anything else you guys say. You know it's true. No matter how far back in time we talk about, RWs always, always tie the bad stuff to Dems and the good stuff to Repubs. You guys don't even give Clinton any credit for the '90s economy, instead you hopscotch back to reagan.

1) That is friggin hilarious, because when you look at this board you will find many dems that blame all the bad on Bush and the Reps... always forgetting that the first downturn began under Clinton (with Rep Congress) and the second under Bush (Dem Congress).

2) I don't blame everything that has ever happened on Dems. I blame what is currently going on predominantly on them. Dem in the White House, Dem control of the Senate for the past 8 years. While Reps have controlled the House for roughly 4 years... you can see where their bills go when they pass... to the scrap heap in the Senate thanks to Reid.

3) I have stated many times in the past that Clinton (along with Congress) did the best job fiscally of any President since Ike. Did he have a boost from the tech/telecom/internet boom? Yes. But you work with the hand you are dealt and try and make it better. For the most part he did that (at least after the health care debacle).

4) There is no hopscotching back to Reagan. That is when the boom began. Reagan... Dem Congress.

Funny how all the 'brilliant' Dantes can do is name call and evade the questions. Shocking that someone so 'brilliant' cannot respond to a simple math question. Add in the fact that he refuses to tell us what this french economist has done that has him so in love with him and you get why everyone with common sense sees Dantes as a fuking idiot.

Little math lesson for the left on this board...

If you have four people...

Person 1 has $1mm invested in the market, person 2 has $100k invested, person 3 has $10k invested and person 4 has nothing invested...

What happens to the wealth gap when the market goes up 10%?

Come on Dantes... show us how brilliant you are...
 
Superfreak said:
For all the geniuses on the left... Take the gains the first three have... tax the biggest portfolios gains at 50%, the second at 25% and the third at 10%. Now, tell us what happened to the wealth gap for the four individuals.

here is the follow up Dantes... can you handle that 2nd grade math question?
 
Odd... still no response from any of the 'brilliant' people on the left.

Simple questions, yet none on the left are bright enough to answer them... shocking.

Just waiting on all you brilliant Dems to come on here and answer some simple questions. After all, were you brilliant dems not the ones mocking me for saying your beloved economist was an idiot? Surely you can answer the simple math questions I put forth? Maybe if you all join together you can muster some of that brilliance and answer the questions?

They have nothing to do with the subject of my thread, I'm not your puppet dancing to any tune you feel like whistling, and it's way more fun watching you talk to yourself.

They have everything to do with the OP. Hilarious that you don't know that given you stated his book was over my head. We can all see the true knowledge level the left possesses on economics... that is why you are all intent upon mocking me, rather than actually answering the questions. Is it because you know it makes your 'esteemed economist' look like the fucking moron I said he was?
 
Superfreak said:
even funnier when you don't realize I am speaking to you and every other liberal who ran away from the thread. Care to answer the questions Dung? Or is it time for you to run again?

Your questions are stupid. Piketty's basic point (and I'm overly generalizing here) is that returns to capital exceed economic growth generally (and wage growth), and over the long term (he looked at roughly 200 years worth of data), the result is ever increasing inequality and concentration of wealth.
