When will Republicans learn the rich have gotten richer at their expense since Reagan

Because instead of everyone sharing in the country's prosperity, all the growth for decades has gone to a small percent at the top.

Your question is absurd. It's like asking, if a company cut salaries by $100 million to give the CEO a $100 million pay raise, 'how is that at the expense of the workers?' You can't use common sense because you are an ideologue.

All you can do is rant about semantics in the other thread, or your dogma about the role of government, all you care about is your dogma, not the effect, no matter how oppressive inequality becomes.

It's sick. While it's not a 'zero sum game', it is worth understanding the ways it is for policy, and how yes, government CAN and SHOULD look at distribution of wealth as a top factor in tax rates.

When those that want to share in the prosperity start contributing to the cause of it, they'll get some of it. You want those that contribute nothing to the pot to draw from it while expecting those that have to offset the freeloaders paying more.

Your mindset is for those that do nothing to get a portion of what those that did something earned hoping that it will motivate the do nothings to do better. Hasn't worked and never will. Why do you oppose people actually doing something other than sticking their grubby paws out to get what they need?

Sorry man, your Bernie socialist desired revolution isn't coming to our shores. And yes, in a global economy our tax rates are not going to be today what they were in the 1950's.

How is being able to keep what one legally earns equate to be given something?

The only way that can make any logical sense is if you believe all property is owned and dispersed by the gobblement?

Is that what you believe?

Stop being a jealous taker and make more money

Define what you would consider true equality economically?

I presume there are people who have less than you, should your property be confiscated to make them equal with you?

Your post is saying, plutocracy and poverty for the masses, an end to democracy, are simply gong to happen. Sadly, the odds are you're right, but you are not helping by being FOR it happening.

Your post reminds me of Ambassador to England Joseph Kennedy (father of John) saying that England was over - the Nazis were gong to conquer it, and that was that. No 'Bernie' defeat Hitler revolution. Deal with it.

If he'd been president, as he wanted, he might have helped that happen, for whatever good intentions but misguided views.

You're looking at the reasons to just say 'plutocracy is coming'. You're not looking at the harm and the need for people to fight it. Things like the need for countries to cooperate to fight AGAINST ever-lowering tax rates for the rich, instead of just each repeatedly
lowering them to 'compete', shifting the burden to the people, as the US just did in a huge attack on workers globally.

For a better understanding is there a country, or countries, you would like to see the U.S. modeled after economically?

See my post edit. To answer your question, there's no country I want the US to model after, there are policies I'd like the US to adopt; but they include some European polices in terms of lower concentration of wealth, and protections for citizens.
 
Which puts more money in the pockets of the super wealthy. That is a quibble. They are ending up with more money. The wealth gap is being exacerbated.
 
Nothing says "moron" more than an argument suggesting that Government is entitled to our hard earned wealth and that forcing others to pay into the Government coffers so that dishonest politicians can buy the votes of morons through redistribution schemes is a good thing.

You liberals are the most gullible, lying morons on the planet. Unfortunately, because you are morons, you're too stupid to comprehend the OBVIOUS.

Roosevelt's ponzi scheme didn't work any better than Obama's. The reason there was a massive boom in the economy post war was because of a massive global conflict that destroyed half the world's production capacity while ours was still intact, and which murdered 51 million souls.

Moron.

Dear moron; no one is giving the wealthy anything. Where do you clueless lying dunces on the left come up with such stupid inane nonsense like this?
 
Nothing says stupid more than thinking the poor are taking your "super duper extra hard earned cash. You are being suckered again. it is the wealthy who are taking your wage increases. It is they who are taking your healthcare. They are why we don't rebuild the infrastructure. Do you think the poor are trying to take your internet? Are the poor merging and buying out competition so the consumer has no power? You guys belong on Fox, it is where you are trained in ignorance.

Learn to quote posts you ignoramus. The wealth gap increases due to brain dad liberal leftist policies. The last eight years of Obamunism was the most recent example. Venezuela one of the worst.
