Protests in France

[EyeBRollin]

You still owe me an example of your claim that an extreme wealth gap causes corruption.

I don’t owe you shiit. Go tell a poor person they should die if they get sick.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Yes, I was making fun of the idea that printing doesn't cause devaluation.

There you go again equivocating inflation and devaluation of currency. What caused inflation in the 1970s?

 

[EyeBRollin]

Print as much as we want! It doesn't cause inflation apparently.

Correct. It doesn’t.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Oh right, another feminine feelz lie propagated by you. You never found that quote of me saying it did you? #fakenews

How many times did you dodge how poor people should pay for health care? You have no solution. Let’s recap: danger doesn’t believe health care is a right, yet wont offer a solution for sick poor people.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Tell me again why in the last 100 years the dollar steadily lost value by 98% relative to goods and services but gold did not?

It doesn’t matter that the dollar lost value. Lol. You do realize that right?

Devaluation of a currency causes inflation. Do you disagree?

Sustained inflation or temporary market dislocations that impacted inflationary measures?

Correct, as already stated. Devaluation does not cause inflation. Are you having trouble reading?

Example of what working?

Of this, dude. .

Power comes from wealth gap. There’s no power if everyone is equally poor or equally well off.

The liberal's ultimate goal? To make everyone poor.

 

[user43770]

Correct. “Entitlement” is just a right wing pejorative for SS and Medicare.



This is actually a false statement that I let slide. “Great many” is not a quantifiable amount, and this the argument is just wrong. Everyone who’s ever been an employer or employee has contributed to this programs.



I let his little lie slide. He’s far less trollish than you.

Did I not point out the other trillion that goes to medicare, welfare, section 8, and government pensions?

 

[user43770]

This a great truth you have here. It is better for people to be equally poor than for them to be unequally better off.

They somehow think power only comes from someone having more money I imagine everyone had equal power back before money existed then, LOL!!!!!

Jealousy is my bet.

The first step is to remove insurance companies and Government from between the patient and the Doctor.

That is the system we have right now for animals. Basic care is cheaper, but for serious problems, euthanasia is the easy answer. Even if we killed the poor people with cancer and let the rich buy their own care, the volume of patients would be so low that science would never make any advancements toward curing the disease.

It does at the grocery store or the pump, right?

Show me a section 8 landlord who is not a rich white man. Such a thing may exist, but I have never seen it. That's where section 8 money goes. It's the same with food stamp dollars that immediately get spent at the walmart supercenter, and go straight into the pockets of the Walton family heirs. What you see as welfare for the poor immediately makes rich people richer, which is the prime directive of our economic existence.

Bro just give him factual evidence that wealth gap causes corruption and be done with it.

I think wealth gap and power can lead to corruption, but it doesn’t ‘cause’ it. Correlation does not mean causation. It’s like eating McDoanlds every day for a year will cause your arteries to get clogged, but a wealth gap does not cause someone to be corrupt.

As if cancer patients were dying in the waiting room...get out of here.

And hospitals only make you pay 12$ a month on it, that is if you are "priveledged".

Ok, bible. My tax dollars going to your fvcking ass, making the rich richer.

 

[Bible_Belt]

I was a section 8 landlord for a few years and I was poor as hell.

And so what if shareholders make a few pennies on $hit purchased by people on welfare?

So you used government welfare to make yourself rich, way to go. You should be the last person to be against such welfare, as well as be an example of why we really have these systems, which is insider profiteering.

And I have sold food to people on food stamps. The fees involved are tiny. I get to keep almost all the pennies. It is almost a full transfer of taxpayer money straight to me.

 

[Bible_Belt]

The money goes to shareholders and workers anyways, regardless of the origin of the dollar.

Bibles arguments are irrelevant since it seems to presume only welfare dollars do this.

Poor people spend their money. Rich people save it. Dollars to the poor get recycled into the ecomony immediately.

 

[Bible_Belt]

Oh geez, not the Trickle Down Kool Aid again. Giving rich people more money so they can stick it in the bank with their other money is the opposite of economic growth.

$1 in tax break to the Waltons and $1 in food stamps that get spent at Walmart both end up in just about the same place, the pockets of rich people.

 

[Magotrox]

I see people here are falling for one of the oldest cons of all time. Dating all the way back to Hammurabi

All rulers need some kind of consent from the ruled. So they make a bunch of laws that are supposed to "protect" the common folk.

That allegedly make it difficult to exploit people.

These laws are always a con, and are gamed by those who can.

This creates the wealth gap.

The more the common man complains about the wealth gap, the more the leaders create more "rules" to allegedly help the common man.

These new rules are also gamed by those who can, which EXACERBATES the wealth gap.

Not unlike regulatory capture, predicted by Noble winner Milton Friedman. Governments create laws, and those that can, GAME those laws to increase their wealth.

Poor people complain, they want MORE LAWS to reduce the "wealth gap" and politicians (especially those on the left whose marketing strategy is always geared toward lower income folk) are more than happy to comply.

This SAME PROCESS has happened in every society since the dawn of time.

The poor people who are getting screwed are usually the LOUDEST ONES clamoring for new laws that the wealthy will just game more.

This is EXACTLY why elites want massive immigration. Immigrants are the EASIEST voters to con. They are the most gullible for the promises of politicians who create laws that their rich friend can game to get even MORE WEALTH.

Same as it ever was.

True. Most guys here are running in circles because they are at upper levels (just the beginning) of the habbit hole. They don't realized yer the game: the exploitation (or profiteering) of men by men. Man is the wolf of man. This forum is very dangerous. I'll not be surprised when it suddenly shut down someday.

Poor people saving their money is as big of a fantasy as trickle down. It just doesn't happen. And there is hardly any middle class left. Many people who show up that way are working two minimum wage jobs, just overworked poor and not any higher in class, especially lifestyle. We are headed toward a wealth distribution unseen in modern times. None of that money given to billionaires tricked down at all. They've still got it.

So we finally get to the thick of it. Some people are dumb, and spend all of their money on stupid sh1t, rather than saving, and I'm supposed to feel bad for them why?

I worked on an ambulance for 2 years in a poor community. I took people to the hospital, mainly pregnant women who weren't even close to their due date. That was the majority of my calls.

My tax dollars at work. 40 years of tax paying my ass. And your ilk wants endless immigration?
