    Default Wealth Inequality Is A National Emergency

    If you don't think so then watch this:

    https://www.cbs.com/shows/60_minutes...nal-emergency/
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    Wealth inequality is a moronic left wing meme.

    1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

    2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving

    3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

    4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

    5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    No, you could not prove it to be false if your wasted pathetic life depended on it:

    [Quote] Originally Posted by Truth Detector

    In your limited intellectual view the Founding Fathers, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, etc., were "moronic left wingers". But you hsave been shown where that truth is at many times, and still cannot grasp it.

    https://www.newsweek.com/2014/02/07/...ng-245454.html

    Now that we are once again done with showing what a dumb f**k you are, and the rest of your supporters, lets just show how deep the trash goes in your fantasy world.

    1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
    No one has said you could save for the right wing mindless like yourself with their inability to get over their adoration of wealth. The idea is to make it more equal so all can enjoy life, not just the few.

    [quote]2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving[/quote

    Repeating this tripe like a parrot does not make it any more realistic. When you give additional tax breaks, and subsidies, to the wealthy who is it that must make up the difference?

    3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
    Argumentive since the government could just spend less. However, in order for the country to survive giving trillions to the 1% they have some other options the right wing prefers, add to the national debt, cut spending on such programs as medicaid, medicare, social security, food stamps, the FDA, etc. Anything that allows them to give to their gawds the wealthy.

    4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
    No, but you can make it more equal giving others the chance to become more wealthy. Will all succeed? Of course not. But is that justification for allowing them to live in poverty?

    5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
    Like I said before, I do not expect the country to last because of the stranglehold the 1-20% have on the politics of the country, and its economy. In the low IQ status you live in, or I should say survive in since whatever kind of pathetic life you have it can only be one of misery, and deservedly so, it is impossible for you to grasp several truths.

    1. The 47% that Romney bragged about included the disabled, the elderly, the retired, the working poor (who work 1-3 jobs, and still are not paid enough to be required to pay federal taxes), and the 9% of the people who for various reasons do not have a job.

    2. The CEO does not manufacture anything, nothing, ziltch. He is an overseer while the working man is the one that does the hard labor, and sweats.

    3. In this country that one in the fine suits, the fancy car, the big house, he is the one that receives 500 times what that working stiff receives plus benefits. And he doesn't even dirty his hands.

    So, while Christ taught against concentrated wealth, and the Founding Fathers did the same, today's "conservatives" worship at the foot of greed, and self indulgence. They know nothing of the history of the country, the idealism of the Founders, or the teachings of Christ.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

    You poor, illiterate Marxist fool:

    The founders, despite decades of rancorous disagreements about almost every other aspect of their grand experiment, agreed that America would survive and thrive only if there was widespread ownership of land and businesses.

    You have not disproved anything; only further illustrated your glaring ignorance.
    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
