What made the big disparity in wealth?

Who said anything about discrimination? I said QE has helped the super rich more than anyone else. It's the policy that the liberals strongly support.

 

Well yea, it has. But it isn't "aimed" at helping the rich.

 

Of course not. It just happens to throw grandpas and grandmas in the process while rich is getting richer.

You could say it isn't "aimed" at hurting the poor heh?

 

I appreciate you offering your opinions, but I couldn't care less.

 

I couldn't care less whether or not you appreciate anything I said.

I'm simply grateful to have sugar daddy Bernanke on my side.

 

Demanded ? that's funny.
I am here to expose you, and i will keep doing it.

 

of course it's not "aimed", why would anyone think that ? It's all been a horrible accident that the middle class and poor keep getting buggered while the men who caused the problems keep getting richer.

If they didn't aim to do it, yet it happened, they should be thrown out for incompetency. So which is is, incompetent or culpable ?

 

Keeping Republicans out, slows down the process (a little).

 

No, I meant what I said. You're either being lazy or willfully ignorant, read it again, and this time closely please.

 

sticking with the lesser of two evils paradigm ensures that the process only grows.

 

Good for you! Me too!

 

Then your either being confused or willfully deceptive.

 

It hasn't been a "horrible accident" at all.

RW propaganda, big corporate money in politics, and gerrymandering works. Look how the Republican Party, tools of the 1% and their Tea Party fabricated "movement" have successfully gotten control of the House (even though they lost the popular vote by a million voters) to lock in the "trickle down" policies and special tax privileges for the 1% so they can take a larger and larger share of the nation's income and wealth.

They even have their acolytes and mouthpieces, both the confused and deceptive, doing things like blaming the Fed to take the focus away from the real policies that have so enriched the richest.

 

I'm honored, but see above.

You're a 1%er eh? Gee, what a surprise.

 

Not my fault you insist on separate standards of interpretation of the facts when they're inconvenient.

 

What "separate standards of interpretation of the facts when they're inconvenient" do you claim I've done?

 

Go back and re-read the last post you lazily read. It was spelled out clearly enough, I'm not going to keep repeating myself if you're not going to bother to read anything closely.

 

About the response I expected.

 

Real capitalists can simply "purchase" better privileges and immunities directly from our federal Congress, with a petty cash fund for that purpose under our form of Capitalism.

 

likewise

 

Again, I'm not a conservative, but I can cling to their rhetoric in the case of quantitative easing. Nothing stops the middle class and poor from investing but themselves.

 

More like Clinton:



Tell me how the Congressional Budget Office and Mother Jones are wrong.

 

You're on record stating that the state of the economy was great during the Clinton years, when taxes were a full 11% lower than where they were under most of Reagan's presidency, and with inequality between the top 1% and everyone else widening much faster than it did during Reagan's term. How can we take your complaints about trickle down seriously when it's clearly just a case of partisan cheerleading?

 

Stock markets were booming during the Clinton years, which accelerates their income and wealth. Contrary to other periods, real incomes for all income groups increased during that time. However, as you point out, Clinton only partial reversed Reagan's trickle down policies. He did raise taxes mostly on the wealthier, but he didn't raise top marginal tax rates to as high as they were, nor did he cut back on the SS tax increases.

 

Reagan wanted the lower taxes, LOL. He was forced into raising them again because Reaganomics was such an epic failure.

Clinton wasn't able to raise taxes to pre-Reagan levels. As long as we have conservative idiots buying the goverment, we will never see reasonable tax rates on the uber wealthy. They will continue to raise the income gap.

It's pretty simple... repeal the free trade agreements, and go to a more progressive tax system. Wealth disparity problem solved.

Clinton was met with harsh resistence when he first raised taxes. The plutocracy is already in place. The next president who tries to raise taxes on the wealthy to where it belongs will probably get... impeached.
