WTF is a "just economy'?

Fuck the gubmint. I succeeded in spite of those jack booted thugs.I confronted them and won. Never depended on them for a job and paid into taxes more than what most of you minions ever earn. Didn't even need a 401k from a corporation, had my own and contributed to my employees' thru profit sharing.

Well Carp, seems we have a well established history of people lifting themselves up by their bootstraps. Virtually anyone, can move up the ladder—provided, they are willing to work at at it.

Ask Oprah.

Carp is an idiot.
The American Dream is based on upward mobility if you work for it

There are career ladder positions / ability to go to school or back to school / and trade jobs
that all allow one to make good money.
A "just economy' is garbage-speak for taking it aw from some and giving it to to others = socialism

Yes, we do, comrade janitor. Do you understand the difference between allowing people to lift themselves up and actively holding people down?

Do you understand why monopolies are illegal? That's for companies/corporations. Now apply the concept to individual human beings and you might start to understand what this topic is about.

Why are you interested in Oprah? Do you watch her shows? Read her magazine? What does she tell you about a "just economy"? My wife watched her, but I can't say I've ever seen more than a news clip.

That's because the people with the most money tend to be in charge of the flow of it.

there have been da rich since the beginning of time - we tax the fuck out of them.

Some of the Progressive proposals are so high in some locations taxes are over 50%!

Capital gains taxes are lower because that is "double taxation" - and the need for venture capital
means we can't tax it so high no one would....venture

You're already doing that though.

I don't need to work anymore. :dunno:

Democrat LBJ destroyed the Social Security lockbox. Now it's just a rob Peter to pay Paul scheme. And you're Peter and I'm Paul.

Old White ladies get 10 years more of SS payments than Black men. It is an extremely racist and sexist system.

The economy is the same as the environment right now.

With the environment, the planet is literally screaming at us that our course is unsustainable, but many on the right don't seem to see it. They think that no changes are needed.

It's the same economically. Poverty in the world is pretty staggering. Poverty in America is the same. We have become a nation of haves and have nots, and the gap between rich and poor only keeps trending up. It's pretty easy to see where it's headed.

And yet many on the right think that no changes are needed.

actually wages gains increased more under Trump for lower income percentiles then the rest of income earners.

If you want across the board poverty -just raise taxes as Biden proposes during the recovery -
we will all be equally poor

How about forcing those countries to abandon slave labor, that effectively does the same thing and also helps out the people of that country.

That's what the TPP could have accomplished. The TPP specifically didn't include China in order to give it the best competition. China would have had to step up it's game labor-wise if it wanted to play ball.

WWChina do?
it would lose our markets, and we wold lose their cheaper goods. how does that help anyone?

Better to negotiate a "fair trade agreement" where China doesn't rip off our intellectual property
and tariff our exports to limit our marketing to China

Which was the basis for Trumps trade negotiations

Hmm. So we can have every American have a high paying job like a doctor, layer, CEO, architect. engineer etc?

No matter what, the Capitalist system based on supply & demand can only provide so many higher paying positions.

No, there always has to be a place for unskilled idiots like you. It's why fast food, trash collection, floor sweeping, and toilet cleaning will get done.
