    True. The difference is, I gave you a citation showing I am right, while you keep saying "nuh uh".

    You don’t have to seek employment from anyone whom you think exploits their employees. And by you I mean anyone.

    Because high paying jobs are just everywhere, is that it? Don't play stupid with me.

    Who said anything about high paying jobs? If you think your boss is exploiting you then find another job.

    Because just about all of them are explorers. Nobody would be going on about a living wage or wealth inequality if honest employers were the norm.

    That’s the mentality that I just don’t agree with, “wealth inequality.” Who told you that you have the right to anyone else’s wealth? If you should be paid more when the bosses company has a couple of good quarters, then should you be paid less when that same company makes less than projected?

    Wealth inequality and wealth redistribution are terms used by people that want something for nothing. Well life doesn’t work that way and it shouldn’t.

    I want equality of opportunity (very American), not equality of results (very European).

    But that's not what's happening, is it? The workers do the, well, work. They gather the resources, handle refinement and manufacturing, perform the services and do all the actual selling. The exact value each worker provides varies but as a whole the workers generate the profit. But it's management that actually gets rich. It's the fat cats taking the fruits of other's labor that creates this situation, to accuse anyone that calls this out of wanting other people's money is an insult to intelligence.

    You just described delegation of work. Which is how every successful company works. The guy who started the business that’s giving all those people jobs to support their families should make the most. And you know what happens when these CEOs make lots of money? They don’t sleep on it or use it to light their cigars. They usually expand their company and create more jobs so more people can support their families.

    So management doesn't work and doesn't contribute? Where did you get that idea?

    Do you seriously think capital gain is magic money? Which just arrives .. somehow?

    Try carrying high maintenance properties for 10 or so years while waiting for that magic money (which may or may not come, sometimes it's a reverse). See what it really takes.

    Why not? I'll explain for the umpteenth thime. "Trickle down" is nothing more than a term used to describe how capitalism work. Wealth never trickles up. Productivity does, by not wealth. It always trickles down. Go see if you can find a job working for a poor person. Even if you could find it, more wealth would trickle down to you if you worked for a rich person.

    Disability (when significant and physical) should always attract full welfare benefits.

    In which case, you would make a TERRIBLE socialist/communist. Your view (that we can all carry exactly the amount of weight we personally choose) is ultra-Capitalist.

    no, it's a term used to describe supply side economics.
    quite demonstrably false, as the wealth gap of the past 40 years shows you.
    .
    wealth doesn't trickle down. It goes up. Always. Supply side policies just make it FLOOD up, instead of trickle.

    I'm sure glad we don't practice your economic model.

    you mean actual economics?

    I know. The right doesn't operate in reality, when it comes to economics, or fiscal policy in general.
