>wealth can't be generated

F-, see me after class.

>people move between different wealth brackets throughout their lifetime.

What does it matter if the poor make less if there are less people that are poor?

either way its a useless statistic.

wealth isn't zero-sum.

Work harder

Why do socialists get so butthurt about wealth inequality? Let's say the bottom 90% had perfectly fine living standards. At that point, would it matter if Bob can afford 2 Lamborghinis and 5 houses, while Tom can only afford a used car? No, it wouldn't fucking matter. The real reason why leftists cry about wealth inequality is because of a Marxist penis-envy meme, they don't actually care about the living standards of the poor.

>>wealth can't be generated

The wealth being generated isn't going to the bottom 90%.

The top 9.9% own 56% of the wealth, it's pretty easy to be in the top 9.9%, don't be a loser and work harder.

People are being less conservativr

blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/10/19/what-percent-are-you/

find out your percent

Quit responding to low hanging fruit. Respond to my post. You know I'm right. It's not about wealth inequality, it's about living standards. Wealth inequality is just emotional penis-envy.

It wasn't produced by capitalism, it was produced by creeping socialist policies.

Nice meme

>Wealth (((Inequality)))

this is bait and only mental midgets think (((inequality))) is inherently bad

Man, people have it so fucking wired into their minds that if someone else is winning, they must be losing. It's not a zero sum game! This is the best time to be alive and living conditions haven't sunk at all, they've only risen!

boomer here,if you just tried and worked harder you could be just as rich as any of these billionaires.

I got where I am today by working my butt off to have what I have now and all you kids just sit on your asses and dont even try to get a job. there's tons of jobs out there and the unemployment rate is only 5% in the US.

remember kids, hard work always pays off

>>What does it matter if the poor make less if there are less people that are poor?

there aren't less people that are poor

Why would I need to "justify this graph"? What's wrong with the information contained within it?

define poor

what happens if the trend continues? do you expect it to continue, or even out? what are the implications of the former?

Capitalism isn't globalism, dipshit

globalism destroys the economy

...

Stop being a fag and just tell us the amount of money you want from the state

why does every chart that shows something going to shit always start at 1960? every time. birth rates started to drop? 1960. wealth inequality rise? 1960. home ownership, income stagnation? 1960.

Clinton started this shit. And it touches whole world.

>tfw you're in top 1%

sheeeeeeit, so I shouldn't provide medical care to any millennials then right?

>penis envy and Marxism
That's a strawman and everyone knows it.
More importantly, it's a myth that living standards are just hunky-dory. People in some areas are still living without adequate food or running water or electricity. I've seen towns where people can't afford decent rooves so they put tin sheets over their houses and secure them with heavy tires.

Don't bother. This forum is full of poorfag goodest of goyim who actually in bootstrap bullshit sold to them by Republicans. Not only do they not have a problem with a handful of people controlling all of the wealth in the country they think its a actually a good thing.

Top 1% contributes more then the worthless 99%.

they are indebted and can't afford to buy goods or services

this leads to a collapse in demand and economic stagnation, which is what we are currently going through.

The solution is to end outsourcing, mass immigration, cheap credit and other globalist projects while investing money in productive enterprise again.

living under 125% of the FPL.

>complain about wealth inequality
>vote for the globalist neoliberal party

Collusion between big business and big government to capture and suppress the free market.

Should add a line for government size/power/spending.

>they've only risen
Tell that to the white middle aged people in small towns dying younger at record rates.

Yes goy, defend your jewish masters.
They need and deserve every single shekel, it doesn't matter that hard working men need 3 jobs to feed their children.

why should billionaires give up their second yacht just so the peasants can afford a slightly bigger tv

>look at right where 1939 is
We need another world war to happen is all I got out of it.

People who are more worried about other peoples' wealth than their own will always be broke as fuck.

OP - $30 in checking. $0 in savings

Oy vey I like the cut of this goy's jib

Nice meme.
>don't be a loser
High quality thought process there.

Just take the blue pill. Poverty in America is an ever growing problem.

The system is rigged by the 1% and you know it deep down.

>calls 99% of America worthless

capitalist pig pls go

wait, are you saying that for our economy to function, people need money to spend on things?

>a communist calling me a servant of the Jews

your ideology was invented by Jews

The fed

people should be able to afford a high standard of living

otherwise you turn into a shitty 3rd world region like Puerto Rico

>Oy vey how dare the goyim question my billions! I earned every single dollar! It's literally anudda shoah!
>Yes goyim yes go back to working 16 hours a day! Healthcare and university paid for by my taxes? Not a chance, how will I buy a fourth yacht?

There is a difference between stopping jewish greed and communism.
Not that you'd know, bootlicker

>communist
>natsoc

terrible b8

obviously

sauce

How do socialists justify this graph?

wheres the inequality in this one?

>>obviously

i'm sorry user but that's just absurd. i can't see any way that our economy will falter if there is no incentive to produce things for people to buy because no one has any money to spend on anything but servicing their debt.

>thomas piketty
top fucking kek.

>>How do socialists justify this graph?

what graph? all i see are big whole scary numbers with lots of zeros without any source or breakdown as to where any of that money is coming from or towards what purpose it's being used.

you might as well literally be making shit up.

Germany knows what he is talking about

opposing globalism is not "communism" it is "nationalism"

kek

that's right goy there's nothing wrong with spending your entire paycheck on housing

also be sure to let in millions more immigrants to raise housing prices. Remember, if you don't you're a racist.

Didn't expect Sup Forums to be this bluepilled about wealth inequality.
I thought you were AGAINST Jews rigging the system and living off inexcusably fat profit margins?

The problem isn't capitalism, it's cronyism. Real capitalism is about competition, opportunism and meritocracy. This is just the birth of an international financial aristocracy.

Sup Forums is contrarian.

Yes, poor people do exist. Yes, it can be a problem. But is the solution really to protest income inequality?
Wouldn't it be possible to fix the shitty living conditions some people have, without needing to fuck with everyone else to do it?

Mature adults who have real jobs put away their childish fantasies of equality a long time ago. They aren't triggered by the fact that people have more wealth than them. They understand that some people produce more value than others. They realize that people are the authors of their own misfortune, and that the decisions that they made were entirely their own.

Admit it, you're driven by envy. You've failed at life and now rather than admit it's your fault, you seek to blame the boogieman "one percent", even though the vast majority of these people earned their wealth legitimately.

Wealth inequality is one of the biggest bullshit scams of this century. It literally means nothing that someone has more money than you unless you're a jealous faggot who doesn't like the idea of someone having more than you.

I swear, if it was up to these faggots, everyone would be living the same mediocre existence so their fucking feelings wouldn't get hurt.

Those are also the areas that niggers run. I used to live around that shit. It's not that niggers can't get a job. It's that as soon as they get one and realize they have to do WORK that doesn't include running drugs, rape, and killing the quit the next day. Fuck you Liberals, and when I'm making 6 figures. I'll be sure to not hire any niggers or libtards out of spite

this is a bad post and you should feel bad for making it.

Like the poor sods who work 50 hours a week (including unpaid overtime) for barely substantial wage aren't working hard enough?
And don't you dare let those goys complain, oy vey. If you dare to say something even vaguely union-ish, you'll be kicked out and replaced by some sucker (probably an immigrant) who works just as hard but with less complaining.
There aren't enough jobs on the market, you see, but every worker is still being overworked. In the past 40 years real wages failed to increase despite skyrocketing per-worker productivity. I wonder if there's a connection between all these factors...

>Real capitalism
Not this fucking shit again. It's just as bad as listening to socialists with their not true socialism crap.
Anarchy-socialism is obviously the way to go.

>Wealth inequality is one of the biggest bullshit scams of this century. It literally means nothing

here is another bad post. you should also feel bad.

Because faggots would still be whining about "wealth" inequality even if lived in a world without corrupt jewish bankers because removing them wouldn't change the reality that someone will make a success of themselves and have more wealth than someone else.

"wealth inequality" stems from envy, some faggot sees someone driving down the street in a porsche and thinks it isn't fair that that guy has a porsche and he doesn't

It's childish as fuck, like the kid who whines that he got a chocolate chip cookie with 8 chips while someone else got a cookie with 10 chips

I swear, I'm the only person in this world who looks at a successful person and thinks "I should work to become as successful as them" instead" Why does he have that success and I don't?"

You aren't thinking straight

when people have no income or savings the economy crashes and everyone is reduced to poverty

this is the globalist plan

>>>/reddit/

-Get rid of labor unions
-Destroy the Federal Reserve
-Remove insurance
-Stop bailouts
-Remove minimum wage
-Incentivize companies to keep manufacturing jobs here
Boom better economy.

Someone having more money than you isn't the power.

It's more and more that the money is being used to leverage increasing political influence and power, allowing them to become richer will undermining capitalism and equal opportunity.

I don't care that hillary clinton gets 250k for a 10min speech at goldman sachs. What I do care about is that is just a charade for the banksters to get to meet her and assurance that she will pass favourable laws for them.

>success of themselves

You have no idea what you're talking about

wall street/globalist success is based on destroying the economy not helping it

>Yes goyim yes...union? What do you need that for? It's your RIGHT to work for me for 16 hours just to be paid enough to barely survive
kys please

>lower wages are good

when will this meme end?

why do you think mass immigration and outsourcing is so popular to globalists? It means cheap, low standard of living labor.

Side effect of capitalism. You have a better system?

>this leads to a collapse in demand and economic stagnation
This is delusion that middle class is needed for economy to function, needed to create consumption. It is akin to medieval times economic """theories""" that aristocrat class was needed fro same, to create consumption, without aristocrat those stupid peasnsat would not find market to sell their goods this why they need aristocrat who literally takes way that surplus and saves economy. Now middle class wants to take this entailed position. of course it bullshit and world economy will do fine without them. Just aristocrats and serfs. With structure of goods production shifting into what super rich buy (industry goods and luxury goods).

>-Get rid of labor unions
>-Remove minimum wage

Jesus Christ how much corporate dick have you been sucking?

Counter my argument or eat a dick cuck.

I don't give a fuck about "wealth inequality", I care about how workers are being treated like shit and real wages have been failing to rise and have even fallen, all the while the fat kikes at the top seem to be doubling their wealth every decade without doing ANYTHING besides lobbying governments for more measures against small business or competition.

Nah, it's true. Every word of it. I live in a Progressive bubble. I'm around these people all the time, and I have yet to meet a single one of them who has been even half successful in life. They're all miserable failures.

You think the average working man cares about this class-baiting shit? Nah. All he wants is a steady job and to be able to go home to his wife and kids every night. The only people pushing this wealth inequality meme are teenagers, the unemployed, and people with sociology degrees.

This is the point. They don't. If peasants want this to happen they literally need to take this yacht by force.

capitalism without destroying the power of the unions

How can you reconcile stopping bailouts on the one hand, and incentivizing (see handouts and corporate welfare) for companies to keep manufacturing jobs here on the other.

I don't disagree with what you said, but it shows the freest of markets aren't always what is best.

>Piketty

WEW LAD.

If we switched to the emotional arguement of so-called "inequality", would you use huffpo and politifact for sources too?

Invest in Bitcoin and crypto currency then

The real question is what level of wealth inequality is healthy.

Clearly, 0 inequality means nobody is growing. Innovation and opportunity must be dead. Most likely it's a 3rd world slum.

Maybe there's such a thing as too much inequality but I'm not sure.

This.

Now, be a good mongoloid and kill yourself.

Capitalism but with added Anarcho

I 'unno, I'd like to think that if the bottom 90%'s ownership of wealth peaked during Ronald Reagan's time with his staunch capitalist and free market platform, I don't think it's because of capitalists that such a situation occured.

>you should live in a cage like a China man, goy

err I mean Gwielo


>This is delusion that middle class is needed for economy to function, needed to create consumption. It is akin to medieval times economic """theories""" that aristocrat class was needed fro same, to create consumption,

It's literally the exact opposite

The middle class is needed to stimulate demand and production because they are the actual consumers

The aristocracy/elite isn't needed it all because their "consumption" is just tiny markets for luxury goods.

Yeah that's really "productive"

You quite clearly are a tremendously retarded faggot and don't even understand the reasons behind why companies go public in the first place.

Stocks and public shares exist as a concept to give companies precious capital which they then use to either expand their production or to invest in new marketable concepts or to use as startup revenue to get their ideas of the ground.

Blame shitty companies for their failing stock prices, not the investors who want to back out of a loser when they see one. They're not in this shit for charity after all.

The part of the graph from 1952 to 1992 is probably the most capitalistic the US has been in its history. The last 20 odd years have arguably been the least capitalistic.

Try again.

Why do you have a map of Austria on a graph?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_market_economy aka Rhine-Capitalism

Unions destroyed themselves.

work hard is a meme
What he really meant to say is creat value. I can work my ass off making a sandwich. It doesn't make the sandwich worth anything.

Instead of ad hominem attacks against the source (who is near the top of all economics citation indexes) why don't you tell us why the graph is incorect

There's also looking at wage inequality. I agree doctors should be paid more than clerks but then you hear about lawyers earning like 30x minimum wage and it boggles my mind. That's a bit too large in my naive min.

You dumbasses realize that capitalism existed in 'Murica since the 19th century.

It makes little sense that capitalism is to blame.

Nice meme

>you must work for me you pleb thrash I am a member of the bourgeousie and you must obey
kys commie faggot, you have to choose whether you want to work for someone or not.

Capitalism is an expression of a political system based on property rights, self-ownership, and individual liberty. You cannot attack capitalism without attack those core values. So go ahead, I'm waiting. Tell me why I should be a slave.

>even though the vast majority of these people earned their wealth legitimately.
US law has so much words in it so ever-changing that word legitimacy lost its meaning. Literally traitors can run for president and be the next one.
