    And so they did. 1929 - 1933 was a drop dead awful time, and than they flipped it.

    You grow up.
    It's freaking un-American to refuse to pay a honest day wage for a honest day work.
    It's time people stood up for real American values.

    Socialism isn't American values
    you don't pay someone more because they work you pay them because their work has value and the more value their work has the more they will get paid that's the American way not just paying someone for the sake of paying them
    Its called incentive to improve your self to get a better education to learn more and better skills because you get paid more when you do
    why bother to improver your self if you are going to get paid more regardless

    Full stop there. The kid doesn't need to get knocked up, because the kid already at that point will be unable to get a high set of skills, because it's already of the kids reach. And than the government helps out the filthy rich to give foodstamps so the filthy rich can underpay those people just enough so they keep the cycle going.

    The Dems are very far from being some socialist labor party where people from the unions have a seat. Get real.

    He doesn't have to say it. He uses a dog whistle.

    There is nothing socialistic about paying a honest day wage for a honest day work.
    It is socialistic that you get underpaid for your work because you also get compensated for that by receive governmental help with buying food.

    Seems you were untruthful. No suprise there.
    Your claim was:
    1. Don't drop out of HS.
    2. Don't have children until one can afford them.
    3. Get a fulltime job and keep working fulltime.

    And 2 is fake. Your source says have kids after your 21.
    It also doesn't say... keep working fulltime.


    And oh please... don't drop out of HS, as if HS gives you a skillset to avoid qualifying for foodstamps. lol

    I linked the source as you asked, a source I've linked many times here. What I posted was materially correct, despite the transparent hair-splitting above. Of course, you don't like that, have no answer, so are crying and rationalizing.

    Cry more. Rationalize more. Just another day on PF.

    And socialism doesn't exist in the USA. OTOH, capitalism is so corrupt and destructive that concessions to the public are needed to "tame" capitalism and render it acceptable. But THAT isn't "socialism", which is a specific economic system, and this isn't that.

    It's certainly your prerogative to rationalize like that if you can't deal with the relatively easy to comprehend Brookings' findings in any other way.

    Remember folks, ALWAYS have a WRITTEN RECORD of ANY discussion attempted with a Leftist.

    They're Americans. They're underprivileged, low-achieving Americans living in hardship. A declaration of them as "losers" is more likely to be a reflection of the poor self-image of the one making the declaration as he tries vainly to boost his own self respect.

    The best way to redistribute income is it happening by work. That is, it happens in wages for work. This was one of the things that helped to create the largest middle class in history here in america. Until that model was dismantled by the repubs with great help from the democrats beginning in the 90s, thanks to clinton.

    Of course we have a bit of a problem with this given our politicians allowed high value added jobs, millions of them to offshore to the cheapest labor in the world, working poor wages so our elites can see max profits. But the cost is just untenable and not sustainable. And it is destroying america and her working people.

    For if your economic model does not provide for your own people, more and more end up on welfare and that is the worst kind of redistribution, as it destroys american society.

    Sorry but I am a winner. And what exactly does your use of the term "low achieving" possibly mean other than loser? If you are not achieving anything then by definition you are a loser. You can be a winner and not make a lot of money if you are working at a job that is making a difference in the world such as a nonprofit or charity organization but clearly that isn't the case with these people. They are in their late 20s and 30s and even beyond working at fast food or grocery stores etc. because they are lazy, dumbass losers.

    I grew up in a poor neighborhood in a poor family and worked since I was 15 to help support them. I was smart enough and worked hard to get myself out of that situation and comparing the differences between my friends now and the friends I had back then its seems obvious why one group was a bunch of losers and the other group are "winners" in my book. The losers called into work often, didn't even look at their kids report cards cause they were to busy sitting on their fat asses playing games or watching TV. The winners I know now play games and watch TV but they don't call into work and the ones with kids they stay on their butts about getting good grades and some of them *gasp* moved out of Milwaukee specifically so their kids could attend better schools than the shitty public schools in MPS. That there is a huge difference between winners and losers, uprooting your life and moving simply so your kids can get a better education. ****ing loser parents were to worried about whether they would be able to get their booze and smokes instead of their kids.

    It certainly is a right wing thing to create an alternative reality.
    It's all you can basically say.
