Income Inequality

[watdaflock?]

Irony- A thread about "income inequality" on a pro-union forum, like Browncafe.

 

[watdaflock?]

The income gap between rich and poor has widened since Obama took office

And it would have been a hell of a lot worse, if we still had the same tax codes when Bush was in charge.

I'm sure those same rich people are laughing at those who believe lower taxes are going to bring those jobs and $ back.

More than a few liberals also.

I have been to Harvard many times , I even have driven a P 300 in Harvard Yard .
I have found many of their students to be really lacking in street smarts .

To be fair that would be true of almost any college campus.

Those Carrier jobs probably don't come back without the $7 million subsidy from Indiana taxpayers. This is the free market at work?

 

[Babagounj]

yes.
Businesses are free to go with the best deals they can get .

Corporate welfare. Were the taxpayers able to have a say in this subsidy. If Carrier can't make it on their own then maybe they shouldn't be in business. Let them fail.

Now that is Free Market.

What is often called free market by both sides of the political isle is anything but.

I think we should be more selective in giving out driver's licenses, and hiring.

"Through taxation, pacifists are forced at gunpoint to pay for killing machines; vegetarians are forced at gunpoint to subsidize grazing land for cattle; nonsmokers are forced at gunpoint to support both the production of tobacco and the research to counter its impact on health. These minorities are the victims, not the initiators of aggression. Their only crime is not agreeing with the priorities of the majority. Taxation appears to be more than theft; it is intolerance for the preferences and even the moral viewpoints of our neighbors. Through taxation we forcibly impose our will on others in an attempt to control their choices."
