Inequality at record levels as new billionaire emerges every 2 days – Oxfam

Is this propaganda to promote socialism or communism? I do think it's out of control, but maybe some law changes would be effective.

Some of you should check your 401k, you might just be a millionaire now too...the economy is on fire!

Success should be rewarded not punished!

Why do we reward the poor by giving them free shit? Their reward should come from self-improvement.

So, people becoming rich is now bad?

Thanks for the pin.

"Thou shall not covet."

I agree, but that success usually comes with the help of a bunch of underlings. They should share in that success as well. That's what is not happening.

Only when a man has money and lifts himself out of day to day poverty and struggle can he achieve greatness just as Oskar Schindler learned and saved 1100 people from certain death...

Agree! I told the story here before of my neighbor knocking on my door asking if I could loan him $600 for his mortgage. He asked that I not tell his wife. I GAVE it to him, as I believe you give and not loan.

I asked, that instead of giving it back, that he do chores for me. He worked in an auto body shop, so I asked that he wash and wax my car (a Taurus at the time). After months of reminding him, I gave up. In the meantime, I watched him shining his new truck.

A few months after I gave him the $600, I saw him in his yard with two puppies. I asked if they were his. He said, "Yes, and I got a bargain! Both for $400!"


The moral of the story is that you can give some people money, and they have no idea how to spend it wisely. No clue. To this day, that neighbor has never offered to do anything for me. Leaves from HIS tree fall into my yard. He rakes his yard and has never touched mine. Our yards are separated by my 3 foot picket fence, so he clearly sees his leaves in my yard.

Because the reward is going to the investors, like me, who have their life savings in the economy...the minimum wage worker should appreciate the opportunity to get into a big company and work their way up...my two oldest sons are making a fine living after working their way up in major Food distribution company.

well ffs , let's elect one of them president.

it's all fucked

I was self-employed for 26 years and I never hired a minimum wage worker. I had a high level skill in pipe bending and metal work that required education and experience, or you will get hurt, maybe fatally. So appreciate the minimum wage opportunities!

...who doesn't take a president's salary.

ever hear of "Trickle-Down Economics"?

I fully support reward for real productivity. But not the collusion of wall street super wealthy and buying our government either.


The majority of the upper class (>$500k inc a yr) are demoncraps.

If you research what and who, B. Gates, W. Buffet, G. Soros. L. Ellison , T. Cook, J Bezos have supported over the past 25 years, they are behind the outsourcing, trade deficits, immigration and the libtard agendas for the single purpose of lining their pockets.


You can believe in God and Satan, heaven and hell, but the most provable verse in the Bible is.......


"The love of money is the root of all evil."

Anyone with half a brain knows it doesn't 'trickle down' and that is why the gap has grown between the rich and the poor since it was invented.

If you can even use the internet, you have nothing to complain about and should be thanking the billionairs for your luxuries.

It's not inequality.

It's opportunities that have historically not been available to many people have now opened up and more people are becoming wealthy.

But the socialist will do everything in their power to crush this opportunity laiden time out of existence.

Think inequality is bad now?

back in the 1880s, John Rockefeller was a Billionaire. Most of the population in that time lived in literal wood shacks with absolutely no conveniences that we take for granted today..

Now, most everyone has the basics. Running water, indoor toilets, fucking electricity. It really gets old listening to this bullshit from the left.

More precisely, it's a world of self-entitled people who have the attitudes and ideology of a Hillary/Bill and Barack, with George Soros smiling in the background as he talks about his time helping Nazis in 1930s Germany. All embracing crud like the Clinton Foundation.

Too many people foolishly think if greed, dishonesty and lack of ethics are draped around liberalism/leftism, that the greed, dishonesty and lack of ethics are somehow acceptable, tolerable or even enjoyable.

"We came, we saw, you all died (cackle, cackle)."


.

It's called Central Banking.

Skim right off the top via taxes and inflation.

Give credit to friendly forces. Destroy any competition by withholding credit.

there is nothing wrong with people getting ahead but billionaires in general do not pay their fare share in taxes.

wonder how many are russian?

We are all rich and just dont know it yet.

Either take care of yourself and go get rich and then richer or starve, suffer and die young.

My grandson drives an Audi. He's in college and lives away from home. Two years ago I asked him if he ever has "dings" in it while parking on campus. He said he parks it in the indoor garage and always next to a more expensive car. He's aware they won't ding it. He said his Audi is nothing compared to other cars on campus....that the Chinese students own the most expensive ones.

As much money as they want.
See this is the type of nonsense that comes from poor or jealous individuals who are too incompetents to be successful in life.

Agreed. many billionaires don't create new business and jobs,
they just like owning holding companies, assets, and leeching on as much as they can!

job creating innovative billionaires good. leeches bad.
