Wealth Inequality

This is so sick, its awful how most people have nothing and the 1 & 2% own everything.
All the wealth from the 1 & 2 % should go to the bottom 90%.

>but muh stoopid lazy poor people
>but muh communism
>muh taxation is theft

>All
I agree as a 1%er I give you everything and the shirt of my back.
I love this plan!

what you're actually seeing here is the fact that 1% of people are THIS MUCH SMARTER than the other 99%.

guess what, if you gave all their money away to poor people, within a decade, the same people would have 99% of the wealth again and the poor people would be poor again.

The selfish would never help the poor anyway so it will have to be taken, the any cant be oppressed by the few. Also the 1% Never work a day, they could earn the money to feed a poor family for a year in the time it takes them to have a good shit.

Epic meme.

t. Karl Marx

true tho. look at white trash lottery winners. Back to broke very quickly.

here's another meme: the poor will always be with us.

>someone criticizes anything
>HURRR MUH COMMUNISM
like pottery.

cool, as long as we get cash and not (((social programs)))

The amount of money isn't fixed. 1% get a lot more, but the 99℅ get more as well because the total wealth grows too.

if poorfags want money they should start a business

it's the same tired class envy garbage that Marx REEEEE-ed about. You wanna stop being compared to a Communist? Stop talking like one.

Winning the lottery is first of all incredibly rare. Second of all, it refers to one-time acquisition of a lot of money, rather than a continuous feed of large amounts of money.

...

Not an argument.

>distribution of wealth
so you have to take money from people who produce to give it to people who don't? how does it work?

yep. poverty and wealth are static elements of the human condition. it's just part of the game.

and honestly, what are people complaining about?

today, in 2016, the poor of the USA and Europe have the highest standard of living, the most amenities and luxuries, the easiest lives, the most free time, the best health, that they have ever had at any time throughout human history.

it's a strange thought, but this evidence almost points to the conclusion that the rich people actually care about poor people. which is a heretical or blasphemous thought to many people, but the evidence is there.

Hi CTR. New psyop?

Commies BTFO. again.

>so it will have to be taken
thats what you dont get, they want you to think it can be taken, so when you try you just end up giving them even MORE power and money!

>what is primitive accumulation of capital

wew lad, you should have been born earlier and grab some land from indians or get your summer job in 40s and buy a house and a car

or just be born in a wealthy famalam

It's not CTR.

There are a bunch leftypol marxists that have been pushing this kind of shit recent. All forms of wealth redistribution are cancerous

Nice meme.
>le poor people aren't really poor meme
Are you blind or just delusional? There are people in this country who work multiple jobs but can hardly pay bills. There are even some areas without adequate water supplies or electricity.

Lower class has a propensity to use money poorly and inefficiently.
I prefer this inequality, and strive to gain the same privilege.

Alternatively, I could bitch about not already having it.

>got no money
>start a business with nothing while working 12 hours a day just to feed your family
Are you a retard?

Should someone who flips burgers 24/7 earn the same as a medic?

Strawman much? I didn't say that.

It is pretty fucked up.

Don't worry, all the poor people voted for trump and I'm positive he's going to do a whole lot to help salvage inequality, you know, being the philanthropist he is.

>There are people in this country who work multiple jobs but can hardly pay bills.
Let me rephrase it then. Should people who work multiple jobs that produce nothing such as flipping burgers in a fast food chain earn the same as a medic who had to study almost an entire decade of their lives?

>Helping the poor and doing more to protect the most vulnerable is cancer.
t. Ebonisa Scrooge

R U FUKIN SERIOUS

they work multiple easy jobs to sustain their TV, phone, fast food, car, etc, all things they don't really need, but which they enjoy. luxuries. their lives are still easier and better than they've EVER been.

there aren't any without basic utilities, unless you mean the absolute depth of detroit, chicago, flynn, etc. and niggers do that to themselves.

what the fuck do you want for them? nicer cars? gtx 1080's instead of gtx 1060's? prime steak instead of hamburger? a few more hours to get drunk in? the ability to have more kids than they can pay for... wait, we already give them that. people receive more financial aid than at any other time in history today.

you know what you "need"? a pair of clothes or two, a tarp to fly over your head between some tree's with paracord when it rains, a bottle to keep water in, and 5 dollars of food a day. a blanket. that's what you 'need'. compare that to what the 'poor' have. i bet it includes a cellphone with a 1 ghz processor and 2gb ram. and a car, and a TV or computer. etc etc etc.

things simply aren't that bad. people are actually complaining more now simply because they're spoiled and immoral.

Not necessarily. There should just be a basic standard of living provided.

I didn't know Brazilians were capable of using reason. I thought you were all monkeys trained to play tibia.

Of course, that's what he's going to do, drain the swamp, make america great again.

>CEO of EXXON

"drain da swamp!!"

You're either blind or delusional if you think that's how the poor live in the First World.

>things simply aren't that bad. people are actually complaining more now simply because they're spoiled and immoral.

The housing bubble is actually THAT bad.

it's not inequality if you EARN more

So many capitalist kikes ITT

I'm actually joking. Isn't it Goldman Sachs, btw?

How dare poor people who work hard earn the money to buy nice things, even just things for their kids at Christmas once a year.
They don't deserve good things unlike those rich kids from Instagram who have never worked and buy new gold plated Ferraris when their old one gets dented.

National Socialism is another form of faschism which basically means that the money goes to the state to fund state infrastructure rather than the people.

>There should just be a basic standard of living provided.
Provided by whom? You? Me? The other people except you? Should people have the money they earned by studying and hard work taken away from them to sustain people who don't want to work hard and invest in their own lives?

If you truly believe that then what's stopping you from taking money from your own pockets and redistributing it with jobless crackheads in the streets? They are poorer than you after all. How about you go enforce your own moral values yourself before demanding it from others.

>to sustain people who don't want to work hard and invest in their own lives?
Are you really implying that poor people are poor because they have no potential?

the CEO of EXXON is poised to be the new secretary of state

Bannon owner of Breitbart news is poised to be chief strategist

Rick Perry who wants to get rid of the EPA is going to be head of the dept of energy

what's wrong with rex tillerson?

i grew up in horrifying conditions. you know those depths of poverty i talked about, without basic utilities? that was me. except i'm white so that's another layer of hell that was added.

i know how the poor live. i walked 2500 miles across the usa with a backpack. i grew up in poverty. i've seen it.

the poor today have it pretty fucking good compared to the past. literally nobody dies of starvation. literally nobody freeze's to death except people who choose to get drunk while being homeless in the north.

waaaaah, i want a nice house with a picket fence, not an apartment!

waaaah, i want an apartment all to myself, not having to live 3 people to a room!

spoiled. you don't 'deserve' those things. those are luxuries, literally not needs. you have no idea how good you have it if you have an apartment to yourself, or if you have electricity and a cell phone. i don't know kind of poverty you're talking about if you own a car, but it's not the kind that i know.

do they actually work hard? no, most of it is makework that could be replaced by a machine. most of it is brainless repetition that adds nothing to the world beyond the sum of the time they spend. it's not backbreaking labor. it's not cruelty. it's the kind of job that literally billions of people around the world would kill to have. there are billions who would commit murder in order to live like a poor person in the USA.

it's the hard truth.

In b4 burgers come to defend their slavemasters

Oh wait too late cuz these retards are actually so eager to defend sick people who run this sick world instead of being capable of critical thinking as in
>what happens when power is centered to only a few people?
>are these people actually 10000* times more hardworking and smarter than a normal working person?
>what happens when poverty is removed

Seriously guys less fluoride water and more brain cells pls

I was born in a favela from a poor family of portuguese/italian immigrants. My family suffered from hunger and my father worked hard on his own selling all sorts of shit on the streets before he could by a small restaurant. Only people who don't want to work hard to better their lives are poor. You can be born poor but if you die poor that's entirely your fault, unless you're crippled.

>Are you really implying that poor people are poor because they have no potential?
I'm just pointing out that you can't complain about not getting the results of actions you never took. What did they do, what are they doing to stop being poor?

It's just zipf's law. Any natural free system will eventually fall into this distribution.

And the poor are only going to get wealthier with time

Rex Tillerson has incentive to continue our addiction to oil

it's setting up our economy for an eventual collapse if we don't innovate quickly enough to prevent collapse.

People richer than you are making you poorer because they are richer
>literally

your desire to call the world sick and to call the wealthy and successful sick is a projection of your desire to shift responsibility from your life to others.

there are plenty of poor people who think the same thing is probably true, but you don't hear them talking about it. because they are focused on providing a better life for their children. which is all you really can do, your life is so small and short, your 'continuation' is in your children.

literally anyone is 2 generations from being in the 1%. if you raise your child right, and he has good genetic material, he will go from poor to middle class. and if your child raises your grandchild right, and he has good genetic material, he can go from middle class to upper class.

c-ch.eck.ed

listen to this guy. he's probably the only person in this thread that had a shitter upbringing than me.

but guess what, in this horrible dystopian country of rich people, i can just ask for money and go to college.amazing. i feel so oppressed. i'm 3 years into a majors in statistics and a minor in data science. i'm in line for an internship, and will be able to attend a decent university to get my masters - and i've actually made money doing it, because of the programs that rich people pay for. for MY benefit. it's entirely reasonable that i'll be making 180,000 dollars a year by the time i'm 38.

it currently takes 2 hours a day of minimum wage work to eat healthily. imagine if you went back 200 years and told some poor person that they could eat on 2 hours of work a day. they'd think you were insane, and then they'd die at 40.

i hope this is sarcasm.

this is pure speculation, and i don't think trump would appoint or allow such a person to do so. it's also your own analysis of the future of energy. so you can't really consider this to be an idea binding to other people.

There are very few rich people in africa. I'm sure you'll love the standards of living provided by the investments of all the poor people there.

>Wealth inequality
This is the dumbest term ever. It literally means everyone doesn't have the exact same amount of money. Well, no shit.

>say housing is fucked, because it is

>starts talking shit about me

and i fucking hate cellphones, fuck off, if it wasn't required for job contacts i would have threw it at a wall with full force already

also, just because you had it worse than others that doesn't mean people shouldn't own their own property, your argument to live like a dirty gypsy with 100 others in a room is pretty bad

go fuck yourself and you shaming tactic crap

ironically, house prices are fucked because the government mandated that banks have to give loans to poor people that obviously couldn't afford it and fucking tons of them defaulted.

>that doesn't mean people shouldn't own their own property

property is a privilege, a luxury, not a right. poor people are the ones choosing to have children they can't afford, well guess what, it's a sellers market for housing now. you do NOT fucking "deserve" a house.

living together with little personal space is exactly how humans have lived for most of history, and you do NOT 'deserve' or have a right to a nice big room all to yourself.

it actually shows exactly how pampered these so called 'poor' are, that they can even dream of having their own room, much less their own house.

and the system that allows certain kinds of people to accumulate vast wealth is the system that has raised the standards and quality of life for poor people so much.

kys yourself, you lazy leech

you're sick

suuuure

You're trash

Or maybe it's because it's almost impossible to get money if you aren't born into it.

...

please have cancer you Nazi trash.

>Nazi
>implying I'm a socialist monkey
lolno

>being capitalist
Oh so you're mentally ill. Got it.

You're the mentally ill one if you support the USSR's system more than the US' system

a fucking leaf

>Or maybe it's because it's almost impossible to get money if you aren't born into it.

it's competitive, sure. but you also don't deserve to not be poor. you literally deserve nothing. you should focus less on how to convince people you deserve it, and focus more on how to earn it. again, it's competitive, so you might not be a good enough person to succeed. hard truth. did you think it could be ANY other way?

out of 100 people, 50 will be poor. 35 will be middle class. 10 will be upper class. 4 will be wealthy. 1 will be the 1%.

if you're better than 50% of all people, you can become middle class. if you're better than 90% of people, you can become upper class.

you will NEVER get anywhere with that attitude and those beliefs. you will cry and scream and say, oh how cruel, oh how unfair the world is. but you won't change the world. you can't. you'll die poor. that will be a consequence of your actions. you can say, "but it's not my fault". that won't change the consequences. and no one cares. you are simply setting yourself up to justify your bitterness about failure. you are consoling yourself and creating excuses and rationalizations about your failure, so it doesn't hurt as much. you are doing that instead of devoting your energy to success. and this is what most poor people do, this is what most people in general actually do, and that is why the poor will always be with us. this is why poverty can not be fixed, not even by just giving people money.

>be intelligent, ambitious businessman
>adamant with your goal of defeating the competition in your glorious capitalist country that rewards winners
>you now only need to work 10 or less hours a week to sustain your billions of dollars thanks to years of hard work and out-smarting your competition, but you work much more anyway because you're so ambitious(most likely just bored at this point)

>be nigger

fuck you ahmed, i don't make shit now and yet i still don't blame muh 1% because i know for the moment i'm a lazy piece of shit.


Whoever feels entitled to anything besides life(a.k.a being born, which you are if you're reading this) is fucking scum.

I fully support the 1950s American economic system. The system today is shit

I do deserve wealth since I'm a human being, and by that logic the 1% don't deserve wealth either

>if you're better than 50% of all people, you can become middle class. if you're better than 90% of people, you can become upper class.
No actually, the best people are the ones who are begging for food while the dumb scumbags are the richest

>you will NEVER get anywhere with that attitude and those beliefs. you will cry and scream and say, oh how cruel, oh how unfair the world is. but you won't change the world. you can't. you'll die poor. that will be a consequence of your actions. you can say, "but it's not my fault". that won't change the consequences. and no one cares. you are simply setting yourself up to justify your bitterness about failure. you are consoling yourself and creating excuses and rationalizations about your failure, so it doesn't hurt as much. you are doing that instead of devoting your energy to success. and this is what most poor people do, this is what most people in general actually do, and that is why the poor will always be with us. this is why poverty can not be fixed, not even by just giving people money.
Stop making assumptions that I'm just saying this because im poor, I'm not poor at all. You are crying and screaming since someone disagreed with you. HURR ur poor.

You don't have to be a commie to think that we are capable of doing much, much better than a system that produces this graph.

Really telling just how emotionally invested some people are with their beliefs, that even incredibly tepid criticism of modern capitalism inevitably gets dozens of responses like

>SOCIALISM DOESNT WORK LOOK AT VENEZUELA >:(

I'm a super hard worker and im not rich.

a. fucking. leaf.

You're still mentally ill tho

Don't forget the millions of immigrants straight up thrown into the US with out guarantee of a job, kinda helps skew these numbers.

>i know for the moment i'm a lazy piece of shit

He doesn't know what it's like to have both a high standard of living and high financial autonomy. Most nations haven't figured it out.

>What is charity

You don't have a right to other people's money just because you work hard, either. People ought to be compensated proportionally to how productive they are, not how hard they work.

>I fully support the 1950s American economic system. The system today is shit

you need to spend money to earn the most. the point is to use OTHERS to garner your wealth; if you do nothing but work for yourself then you'll be at the bottom. like, even a fucking MMO's economy teaches you this man

>the 1% don't deserve wealth either

they don't have it because they deserved it, they have it because they obtained it. you might consider attempting to obtain.

>the best people are the ones who are begging for food while the dumb scumbags are the richest

this is a kind of statement i've heard many times before, all from the most sick and twisted sorts of people. it's an absolute damnation of all human virtue and existence you're making, it's an absolutely morally bankrupt and insane perspective that can really only be held seriously by the most inexperienced or demented people.

here's the truth: poor people are usually horrible fuckheads, and the richest people on earth are generally very decent human beings, because, and this is important, there's a correlation between success and virtue.

the fact that you don't understand this is proof positive that you will NEVER succeed. you will ALWAYS be poor. i would bet every dollar to my name on that, RIGHT NOW.

>I'm not poor at all

sure

you sound like an absolutely despicable human being. your parents have probably scraped to provide you a halfway decent living and you'll die poorer than they have. absolute moral decreptitude to think that you're entitled to other peoples things because you were born and you don't want to be.

the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: commit suicide if life isn't to your liking. you have a right to die. that is all you deserve.

>Nigger detected. That graph is the face of righteousness, freedom, and creativity
Then maybe freedom is overrated

>Every single fucking person the United States has everything they need to make it to the 1%
Unless they were born in the 1% they have no ability to get in the 1% you rat freak

>I do deserve wealth since I'm a human being
What a faggot.
1) you don't deserve any wealth, because you're a leeching piece of shit
2) you're a comme piece of shit: that forbids you from being anything even remotely Human; you're not even worth the bullet you still deserve in the back of your head
3) the best you deserve with that attitude is to slosh in your own shit, which is the extent of what you can achieve anyway

this man believes that only the poor people are economically literate, and only the rich people are economically illiterate.

he is an example of moral reversal. for him, up is down and down is up. left is right and right is left. black is white and white is black.

i assure you, anything that is true, he believes to be false, and anything that is false, he believes to be true.

if you wish to understand the sickness in our society, understand the causes and nature of this phenomenon of the reversed human mind.

Whether you are trolling or not... at least fifty percent of the US (and probably way more) believe this shit to their core.

As long as we focus on taxing INCOME this will never improve. Tax assets or something. Income is how people raise themselves up. Rich people don't need income the millions they make per year is a tiny part of their wealth, they focus on growing assets.

All attempts at progressive taxation focused on income tend to hurt the doctors lawyers engineers and small business owners etc. The very last people who we want to punish.

All of the calls for a higher top rate are just wrong. Progressive taxation has been in place for a long time and it does not achieve its goals at all.
