Morality defiled

Properly done redistribution of wealth thru good wages , benefits, etc is essiential for a stable society.

If you have a high percentage of the population at the very bottom and a few very rich at the top. This society will not tend to be stable and will not long last.

It worked in early America. Of course, we were 80-90% agricultural, and collectively had the highest standard of living on the planet in 1776, so its not terribly relevant... :)

What an idiotic statement. There are any number of contrary examples. China, one of the oldest societies in human history, has very few people in the "elite" class, and the population is mostly peasants.

If you had better English grammatical skills, (i.e. "thru", "essiential", periods in place of comma's, "will not long last.") I would say this was something you read out if a Karl Marx book, but you are clearly too illiterate to read such things. I think it may be something you heard some Socialist espouse at some point in your pathetic life, but that is just a hunch.

China has a lot of wealth inequality.

USCitizen wasn't advocating Marxism, you fuckwit. He stated a universal truth - look at all the nations in the world that have high wealth inequality, and look at how fucked up their economies are. Our economy has become increasingly unstable since the conservatives took power and it's on the virge of collapsing.

LMAO... China's economy is fucked up? That's news to me! Yes, China does have a lot of wealth inequality, and they are one of the oldest societies, which is why I found uscitizens comments so completely inaccurate.

Conservatives, particularly Social Conservatives, have always been in power in America. If you take a look at where we started heading south with our budget deficits and national debt, it was the very liberal social programs of FDR, and LBJ. The instability of our economy is tied directly to this massive national debt, and your idiotic belief that government's job isn't to make a profit, but to make people happy!

But in the new world we have rejected the old world totalitarianisms which have predominated in the past. New Agers like you want to go back to totalitarianism, repackaged as something new. The rest of us don't want that.

The government's job is to make a profit? That's news to me. I though it was the corporations job to make a profit. The governments job is to keep markets functioning within morally acceptable parameters and insided a context with other concerns BESIDES profit, like the future of the american people, or national security. We're not flushing everything down the toilet just because you decided one day to be a big fascist fucknut.
 
This current instability is due to the greed of banks who made a bunch of bad loans and then compounded the trouble by securitizing these mortgages and then reselling them as an investment.

Plus our system of fiat currency guarantees massive inflation, and is the one key practice that all of fascism hangs on. When value becomes real through force alone, the rest of society is sculpted according to the delusions of the moneymakers.

It wasn't unstable at all until conservatives decided not to pay for it. In fact, we went through some of the longest periods of continued growth in US history under liberal administrations. The ultra-conservative administrations of Reagan and both Bushes were both marked by mediocre economies and depression. The only thing that kept Reagans economy from being a huge piece of shit was Volker - who was a Democrat.
