it's called capitalism.

Anyone who thinks everyone should have the same amount of money is a communist.

FIRST POST FUCKING BEST POST HIT THAT SLAM PIG WOOOOOOOOO

>no distribution of education among these populations

Not yet. Just wait until full scale globalization kicks off. Soon not even lawyers will be making six figures.

>forgets that the 1% pays most of the taxes

So basically, the left have pulled off complete faggotry

WOW LIKE I KNOW RIGHT

THEY PAY THE MOST

HELL I JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA

ILL JUST GIVE THEM MORE OF MY MONEY SO THAT I PAY LESS TAXES AND THEY PAY MORE

SEE NOW THATS USIN' YOUR NOGGIN RIGHT THERE

Most of wealth is in things like financial instruments which the poor shouldn't touch. What you want is income, which is more evenly distributed.

The 1% make most of their yearly income (usually something around 700k year or more) through capital gains which are taxed at a flat rate in the US.

And the that 1% is 50% of the Jewish Community goy, and if you are insulting them you are being anti-Semitic goyim.

Oy vey.

...

>>>/Reddit/

The top 20% pays 70% of the taxes in this country. I'd say they're pulling their weight.

there is nothing wrong with that

making money on trading is hard, and high taxes on investments just make it even less worth risking your money

in needs to be taxed when you spend it not when you earn it

DELETE THIS

>forgets that the 1% makes the heaviest use of tax havens

>Slavery = having less stuff than other people
>this is what millennials actually believe

This country is so fucked.

WOW BUD IS IT YOUR 6TH MONTH Sup Forums ANNIVERSARY? SAY HELLO TO THE DONALD FOR ME OVER ON REDDIT BRO

hope you display the same attitude when waiteresses ask for a tip, faggot.

"Top 20%" is a trick used by the 1% to take the credit of the other 19%.

or forget income go by actual consumption
The rich mainly just invest and bid up the cost of luxury goods

source

I KNOW RIGHT BRO

I MEAN LOOK, IM TOTALLY FINE WITH 1% HAVING HALF THE WEALTH

AS LONG AS IVE GOT A ROOF AND FOOD IM SATISFIED

lol? not him but what are you even talking about

>still pay the most while using tax havens

LMFAO BROOOOOOOO

Go to bed, you're drunk.

Solution: kill the bottom 80%

>hi the bill is $xx, tip included
>"lol wat tip this is capitalism i wont pay you this isnt socialism fuck off get a different job this isss capitalism"

alright I went overboard, fuck you.

The 1%y deserves every penny

1% drives almost every technological innovation in the last 100 years.
>hurr durr dey de emenies

FPBP

Can we get charts like this for other countries? Surely they are all the same. And why shouldn't they be?

Brazil has 54 billionaires and millions of people living in slums.

>YES YESSSSSSS THE WEALTHY ARE THE VICTIMS HAHAHAHAYYYEEEESSSSSSESSSSSSAAAGGGHHHHHH

This.

The college liberal bourgeoisie have been tremendous in advancing the corporatist state agenda in putting the proletariat back in their cages. Liberals will never see how unhindered immigration is and will always destroy jobs, the economy, equality, and opportunity.

1% needs to be publicly slaughtered and their wealth to be used by the government to fund new projects to grow and benefit the country. There is no excuse for such a humongous waste of resources.

I would say nice b8 but then I remember that this is now a mainstream belief

I'm scared

Don't they understand that the US has a thing called capitalism, and that this capitalism implies a thing called social mobility.
If you are an intelligent person you can start in the bottom of the barrel needing to resort to food stamps and shit like that to being, at least, part of the top 40%, that is the magic of capitalism, you are not stuck in your social standing.
Do these people that worked all their lives deserve to be taxed to oblivion just because stupid commie SJW's are too dumb or too lazy to work hard?

I dont tip. I dont believe in it. Learn to fucking type.

This
It's easy enough to git gud
Put some effort into your life, if your white it should come naturally

I am not baiting. The 1% is cancer, hardly anyone ever will rise to that status from society because it's reserved for elitist families that made their wealth long ago exploiting common folk to the very end, and will continue to keep this wealth within their elitist families. These are the same globalist 'kikes' if you will that fund shit like the refugee crisis in Europe now.

They are a fucking tumor, they purposely poison everything and make wealth of the blood of millions. Yet you seem to defend them, fucking cuck.

I'm not talking about slaughtering the upper class or rich people here, I;m talking about slaughtering the Rothschild et al.

>having a more appropriate distribution =/= everyone has the same

It's because of crony capitalism that the 0.1% got that rich in the first place (it's actually the 0.1% that's inflating the 1%).

Man, I dislike communism, but anti-communists are the dumbest people in existence.

Funny how as one of the 99% I'm able to
>work
>eat
>go to college
>have access to health care
>have a car
>have time off to enjoy the things I like doing

I don't get the hate for people who have a shit load of money. Them being rich doesn't impact anyone else in any meaningful way.

Unless you just want free money because you're a pathetic piece of shit.

Proud to be in the 4%. Poor people are retarded shit for brains, instant gratification, materialistic, status signalling, money-pissing-away tards and deserve to be serfs. It's the natural order that these worthless, skill-less pigs toil in the mud and serve the rest of us. You should see the shit poor people do. You give them a dollar, they buy a song off itunes. They're worthless idiotic fuckwits. I hope the wealth gap gets even wider. I hope we institute a flat tax rather than "progressive." Poor people are lazy, ignorant gibsapes. The wealthy are so because they work hard, save, invest, and learn how to handle money to make it work for them.

God bless capitalism.

Ok buddy answer me this. If a communist society does rise up what will stop it from being Soviet Union 2.0, with everyone starving and shit

You don't have to be a communist to hate house rothschild m8.
Jews with money or power is never good.
Also, it's fundamentally impossible for a communist nation to sustain itself for a long period of time.

>Anyone who thinks everyone should have the same amount of money is a communist.

Nobody except trolls are saying we should have the same amount of money. But you can't seriously believe that growing wealth and income inequality isn't a problem.

The American post-war (and post-Great Depression) golden age, when fear of Communists was at its height in America, was a time when income disparity between social classes was at its lowest over the past century. The rich still controlled most of the wealth, but everyone in America saw their income grow.

Then something happened after 1980, in every chart of every metric of income or wealth. The gap has been widening ever since.

>anti-communists are the dumbest people in existence

>but anti-communists are the dumbest people in existence.

I'm sure that if you ban the sale of everything you enjoy, but don't need, smartphones, internet services, gourmet foods, etc, that wealth disparity gets much more even.

So many kikes in here defending jewish economics. Amazing, they've even got the majority of Sup Forums convinced they're that their kikery is just and normal.

same here, i work in a small facility, and watching all the rejects and dumb asses makes me really wonder what the fuck is wrong with these elementary school dropouts.

i thought i was dumb for only getting passing grades all throughout school and college. but these people are straight up retarded in comparison. no life skills, no ambition, no foresight.

>PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS.

SO U SAYIN IF I BUY LESS FOOD ILL BE A BILLIONAIRE OR A MILLIONAIRE.

We're already there; most lawyers don't. In law school, they told us that expectations beyond $60K/year (for all but perhaps the top 5 students in the class of 150) were absolutely unrealistic.

Pretty much. Most billionaires get rich off of government-enforced monopolies.

Currently trying to make my way from the 15% to the 4% bracket.

Obviously 0.1%er is my ultimate goal :^)

> more appropriate distribution

progressives are so self deluded that they think they know a more appropriate distribution or they think a committee can decide what is more appropriate

Lmao the average EE graduate salary from my old school where I got my degree from is like $67k straight out of school

what anime is this

That bottom %80 has over 100x more wealth than was achievable throughout human history.

And wealth does not equal direct power over someone. I have land and live a relatively free life. The fact that someone has billions more than me does not affect this. Fuckoff to Venezuala, commie

Nah, even if you eliminate the CEO's salary from McDonald's and distributed it to all the employees, it would result in something like a $0.14/hr raise.

However, if someone making minimum wage did things like primarily eat lentils, beans, eggs, and other super-basic foods, they'd be much better off without forking over ridiculous profits to Yum! Brands Inc every time they visit a Taco Bell and buy a $2.78 burrito that costs $0.31 to make.

Sorry not sorry that the US has so much nice stuff available to buy and poor people choose to do dumb things with their money. Eliminating welfare would be a first step in helping them wise up.

eww

this

Malcom in the Middle

WOW YOU HAVE A POINT BRO

I MEAN LIKE YEARS AGO PEOPLE DIED ALL THE TIME FROM THE COMMON COLD

BUT LIKE NOW BRO TODAY WE DONT

I SHOULD GIVE ALL MY MONEY AWAY BECAUSE IM LUCKY SIMPLY TO BE ALIVE

AND IT DOESNT EFFECT ME THAT THE 1% PUSH FOR IMMIGRATION AND LOWER WAGES

I MEAN BRO, WHEN DID IMMIGRATION EVER EFFECT ANYBODY

Essentially, yes. But naturally in a subtler form.

Wage slavery is an underrated, underappreciated term - The global markets, the politics and the lobbying in-between all act to drive up profits at the expense of the working man - the wage slave. It's an unparalleled level of genius at work - disguising inflation as an increase on wages because the wage slave doesn't know the difference between "wages" and "Real-term wages (inflation adjustment)". Those with intellectual abilities are rewarded more, naturally, but they are still caught in the trap.

The true wealth in this world is just as it has ever been - people. The control of people, the shifting of work output onto "lesser peoples".

If any waiter ASKED me for a tip, I sure as hell wouldn't. Never heard of something like this in my life.

anyone saying that it's just capitalism doesn't understand capitalism.

With a perfect capitalistic society the middle class should hold the majority of the wealth and should represent the majority of the population.

Unfortunately we live in a system that is set up in such a way that when supply doesn't equal demand for goods and services that belong to the poor/middle class we allow capitalism to take its course and those businesses fail
But if the market is fucked for a wealth/upper 5% market we have fail safes that prevent those institutions from going under and being the victims of capitalism.

So when the rich fail they get pulled back up and the middle class and poor pay for it, but when the poor or middle class fail they are left to die as the market deemed.

mo money mo problems

I can't tell who's jewing who

It's more like feudalism 2.0, only difference is you don't have legal claim to any land.

>EFFECT
>EFFECT
Guess you don't have a job that requires proper grammar.

>perfect

>mfw opponents of extreme inequality thinks everyone else wants complete equality
No one can be this retarded. No one should be this retarded

>Be me

>company does well
>pop magazine extrapolates my wealth by multiplying my share value and company worth
>say I own 43% of America's wealth

I just wanna be normal guys :(

>making money on trading is hard

clearly, based on the stat in the OP

American dream is just a dream.

>"distribution"
it's not handed out you fucking idiots
the people at the top earned it

not everyone can be the ceo you fucking retards

Would/will if it makes you feel better. Should as in "based on these calculations the economic model prediction should look like this"
Not "the middle class should be the best because I said so".

Though I have found that only Sith deal in absolutes

That's 2/3rds correct. By creating the business you have begun the journey, but wealth creation comes through wealth generating assets - employees. By that logic although you would have created the business, allocated jobs, it is your employees that -on paper- generate the wealth. You just have the legal means to pick up the cash off the table.

>tfw wealth as a zero sum game is so ingrained in people's psyche that when they see anyone winning they assume that they must be losing

>the people at the top earned it
How are there people this dumb?
Hard work alone can get you into the top 10%.
To be in the top 0.1% you need to be born in the right family, have great connections or some other crazy luck most people won't even get close too.

>Economic and social inequality has no drawbacks at all

Note how the rich have found out how to dramatically increase production without increasing wages.

And people on here will worship them and give them more when they already have the largest share of this country's wealth in the history of this nation.

Oh, but, uh it's the Jews who are the problem, right? That's not a red herring to deflect from the elite parasitically bleeding this nation dry no matter their religion.

no? it's more like
"you have provided a good service to me, i was so happy with it with it will give you money

or

"your service was shit, you dont deserve money"

Patently false. The majority (2/3rds) of the 400 richest people in the USA are self made billionaires.

Neoliberalism, actually.

The majority of the richest people don't appear on the official figures because they hide their assets.
They're also jewish.

This. The important thing is not wealth equality but upward mobility.

Trying to forcefully stop wealth inequality is just going to make everyone poor. That's why despite all of Britain's socialist attitudes the poor here are no richer than the poor in the more capitalist America.

>Something happened
What happened?

Merger of investment and commercial banking

Let's explain this in terms that a Marxist can understand:

>wealth
Wealth for the lumpenproletariat means food and housing.

Wealth for the proletariat means conspicuous consumption, generally of mass-produced items.

Wealth for the bourgeois means conspicuous consumption, generally of "ethical" or "artisanal" products.

Wealth for the capitalist rich means influence, generally via economic means such as starting a company, becoming an activist investor, funding lobbyist groups, and so on.

>where the wealth goes
If you take away wealth from the rich, then either it must go to one of the other groups, or it must go to the state.

If it goes to the state, the state will be inefficient in managing it, because the state is a centralised organ that doesn't understand the individual needs of its citizens.

If it goes to the bourgeois, like it is doing right now, it will be pissed away on "peacekeeping" wars, amnesties for illegal immigrants, endless new programs that don't do much good but do ensure constant employment for the bourgeois, and similar things.

If it goes to the proletariat, everyone will want a TV, but nobody will run a TV factory. The economy will start to collapse, the state will step back in, and shit will be sorted out.

If it goes to the lumpenproletariat, I have no fucking idea what will happen, but it will probably involve crack or meth and will result in a country looking like Africa.

>what do
1. convince the bourgeois that it's better to spend money on things that are actually helpful, then give them money
2. give the proletariat small amounts of money, but not enough to completely fuck up everything
3. either elevate the lumpenproletariat to proletariat or put them somewhere where they can't fuck everything up, like a mental ward

I'd give them a tip alright. THE TIP OF MY DICK

Explain

Good luck having upward mobility without some wealth equality

Great analysis, I like it. Speaking their language, very concise.

I always wonder with these charts, what they are counting as "wealth"?

Are they talking about all assets owned? Are they including the money they pay out to employees as "their wealth"?
