When It Comes to Wealth Creation, There Is No Pie
One implication of the pie metaphor is that wealth is a zero-sum game: there is a fixed amount of houses, cars, medicines, etc. to go around, and the more Steve Jobs gets the less is left for the rest of us. That may have had some plausibility 250 years ago when most wealth was in the form of land. But today, when an iPhone 3G verges on outdated technology, it's impossible to miss the fact that wealth grows. Roberts puts the point this way: "[T]he pie is not constant. So your well-being can grow even when your share of the pie falls if the pie is getting sufficiently larger."

Hello Cinnabar,
I completely agree. We have no other choice. The survival of the human race as we know it depends on unity and in a large part defeating extreme wealth inequality.
I was taken by the one guy who felt like the alternative to doing nothing was all-out socialism. As if it is an either/or choice.
Excuse me. I don't think aggressive taxing on the rich is going to produce a world in which everybody is equally poor.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

Hello Cinnabar,
But of course. What better way for the powerful to screw over the general public than by keeping them dumb?
How many societies of the past forbade even teaching the masses to read or write? That was reserved for the elite.
In our present-day case, that has become controlling education. First, make the public schools ineffective. Then, offer private schools which are bereft of requirements to teach certain things, and make sure those who run the schools are in the bag for you.
Ever hear of David Barton? The evangelist wants to control what books are in public schools. He got a hand in that in Texas, which pretty much extended to the whole USA, because if you get Texas to adopt a textbook then other states will follow, since selling more books makes them cheaper and more affordable to other districts. And Barton's own books are called some of the worst 'history' books out there, full of lies and completely misleading omissions. One publisher even dropped him after numerous complaints, so Glenn Beck decided he would go ahead and pick up the publishing for Barton.

Who is keeping you dumb? How have the wealthy screwed you over? How have they prevented you from getting an education? How have they prevented you earning what you feel you are worth and getting a job?
^Still stuck in a previous century before America became a nation.
It's the leftists in this nation that control our educational establishment. YOUR people.
