That guy needs boxed for the pics in the other thread, IMNSHO.



Actually he needs to be shot for promoting communism. A sytem of government that the USSR proved doesn’t work.


Quote:

So, if the top 2% only gets 85% of the wealth, they will be destroyed? And, does money make you stronger or not? Only if you are already rich?



This isn’t a closed loop system, the wealthy don’t take a bigger piece of the pie, they make more pie for everyone to take a slice of.


Quote:

If thrift is eliminating waste, yes; if it is hoarding capital then that discourages spending and growth.



The Democrats (and even a lot of the Republicans in government) are incapable of eliminating waste. That’s what happens when government becomes too large and untransparent to be scrutinized by the voters.

Companies are not sitting on the money they have now because they are hoarding, it’s because they are looking at an uncertain future and don’t want to release capital that will make the difference between life and death for them in the future.


Quote:

You cannot pull the wage payers up by starving their markets.



It’s government intervention that makes things cost so much. They drive up costs for everyone with undue regulations and taxes. If it weren’t so big and require so much money just to stay in opertion, things could be less expensive for everyone and such high wages wouldn’t be necessary for a better life. Too many people are taking and not enough people are making.


Quote:

Then, share. Promote a decent society, instead of a huge cutthroat game of Monopoly.



They do share. It’s called jobs. Without which the government wouldn’t be able to collect any taxes and grow bigger and more crooked by the year.


Quote:

You cannot have initiative and independence at $8/hr. People need to have a viable opportunity.



Actually you can if, you don’t have to buy a lot of union made crap that costs 5 times as much as should, and a great deal of the taxes you pay aren’t being put down on interest of the national debt instead of going to things like social security and medicare, so you have to pay even more taxes.


Quote:

Bullshit, we've been doing it for decades, good times and bad. I agree it's not good. But, unemployment comes from my salary. Disabled cannot do, by definition. Eliminate fraud, yes. People paid into Social Security and Medicare all their lives. We did this for ourselves, and it works, if it isn't strangled by greed.



Actually we’re talking about could not can’t. Remarkable how you and your ilk never comprehend the difference.


Quote:

You cannot grow a prosperous society by starving the common good.



The common good is free interprise, and you better believe the liberals are starving it, hell they’re trying to destroy it. Without free enterprise you have nothing but the same economic cancer that destoyed the USSR. Wake up before it’s too late.
