Can it be reversed?

Hoping this works.

Nope...could not be found

Sure it's called Socialism.

Why would you want to do such a terrible thing?

The Swedes are pretty happy.

Plus we are at a real extreme now.

Oh goody, here comes the Sweden argument again. This one really loves the Kool-Aide

The Norwegians are even happier. They refuse to immigrate here, even when Trump invites them too.

Good for them...the Venezuelans are starving just like the Russians did.

Either way it's un-American as fuck and would require some of the most radical actions on behalf of congress and the WH ever taken.

Including the wholesale abandonment/condemnation of the most traditional of US values.

Freedom, liberty, civil rights, equal treatment under the law and of course the pursuit of ones happiness.

All gone....that is the price of the nanny state.

You can be free or you can be well kept, you can't be both.

It would be a lot easier/faster for you to just move to Europe than to try and turn the USA into the USSA.

Plus we are at a real extreme now.

So?

Why is it so bad for people to make shit loads of money?

You should want EVERYONE to make a shit load of money.

Can it be reversed?

It does get reversed sometimes. People from "humble origins" sometimes become rich and rich people sometimes lose all their assets and become poor. Of course, this happens to individuals, not to large groups of people.

Let me know when you have watched the video. It's concise.

Yes. A couple hundred raindrops count as water. But the ocean is water with muscle.

Bullshit. It just requires restoring tax and wage rates comparable to those we had in the 60s.

The United States was still the United States 50 years ago.

Perhaps a five year plan.... straight out of the old USSR would be to your liking

You didn't watch the video and, still, your personalized diversion highlights your lack of information.

Besides Putin is more of an asshole than Trump. Trump is a rapey con man but Putin murders people. I am happy in Manhattan.

You're really much more a North Korean kind of girl... seriously.

OBTW, every liberal has a video they want somebody to watch. It's the modern equivalent of the little red book.

No, what's American is having a large, healthy, thriving MIDDLE CLASS. Gross wealth inequality is not American.

Instead we're becoming more and more like India every day. 98 / 2 % is no longer America, it's Third World.

Yea I've seen it.

So?

No, what's American is having a large, healthy, thriving MIDDLE CLASS.

Uhhhh that's because we've traditionally supported capitalism and a capitalistic economy that allows them to thrive.

Thanks to the left, that's no longer a thing.

Gross wealth inequality is not American.

It's not un-American either.....just happens to be the result of government meddling in the markets.

Instead we're becoming more and more like India every day. 98 / 2 % is no longer America, it's Third World.

LOL you've clearly never been to India or any third world hole.

Try not to use big words. They are easily confused and then they throw a hissy fit and make personal attacks.

Yea, all those inner city home-boy PhD’s and underwater philosophy majors that form the Democrat base sure are that much smarter than ‘deplorables’ now running companies and hiring people are Bwahaha

 

[Carnal_Flower]

So let's see.

If left to its own devices, capitalism will produce a large, healthy, thriving middle class.

Only when gov't "meddles in the markets" do we get gross inequality

Also for the record, gross, massive inequality is not un-American

Yes...turns out when people are allowed to make a living for themselves...they do just that.

No...you need to learn how to read.

Yup.....it's the land of the free, not the land of equal socioeconomic outcomes for everyone.

Take a US history class sometime, it might help you understand why we as a society aren't very keen on the idea of the totalitarian socialist god state making sure nobody has anymore than anyone else that you so desire.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

"Capitalism" naturally results in a large, healthy middle class (because people are "allowed" to make a living for themselves), but if it turns into gross, massive inequality that's capitalism too and it's all American.

Which means "capitalism" when left alone naturally leads to India and Third World conditions, awesome.

America = India. It's all good.

BB, what makes you think that the "Establishments" ever allowed the system to operate freely? The Law may demand it, but as we know from history (all of it) the Establishment will always cut the biggest slice for themselves.

I've been to India, there is a difference from the USA.
