Wage Gap between richest 1% and poorest 1% by state

How do you feel about this kind of income inequality in America in 2016?

  • This is proof the rich are greedy

  • The rich own everything

  • The rich earned it

  • The poor deserve it

  • This makes our nation stronger

  • This makes our nation weaker

  • It's a sign of impending economic collapse

  • It's a sign of the End Times

  • Pinworm stomps it down the drain

We have the advantage of history, we just need to learn its lessons.

It's fine to build something great and get rich- what's not okay is keeping it all for oneself while letting the rest of society suffer.
Ever "earned a living"?
Have you?
No. The world we live it doesn't allow that.
This is plain and simple crybaby whining to justify your laziness.

You're fooling exactly no one.

You just got played. 8):lol:

All you do is whine.
Wealth is unlimited. There is no such thing as "hoarding it".
Babbling bitch chilld your utterances reveal an idiots intellect and beliefs.

"got played" ? witless ass with your wretched wit you couldnt play @Green Bud Smurfy

Your posts are statistically about as shitty as shitty can get. Looks like lots of folks find ZERO MERIT in your desperate attempts to express your toxic commitments.

You might have a record there for lowliest asshole on RIU

The wage gaps in this country are unsustainable. They're unsustainable in Europe and fast becoming that way in Asia.

The only difference between today and 1930 is the speed at which the contagion will spread around the world.

Perhaps they need a reminder.

The US elites entered into an unwritten compact with the working classes. This implicit contract included the promise that the fruits of economic growth would be distributed more equitably among both workers and owners. In return, the fundamentals of the political-economic system would not be challenged (no revolution).

I'd say they're in breach of social contact.

Maybe all those right wingers who are armed to the teeth are onto something, eh?

Holy shit WTF is up with Wyoming?

Colorado's is also high, but it makes more sense in its diversified information economy.

See where your state stands in the video.

My takeaway is that if there's an average difference of nearly a million dollars, surely we as a nation have the money to solve our problems, TOGETHER.

The idea that the rich don't have any responsibility to help the poor is morally and ethically unsupportable.

Discuss;
Yet they've been shifting financial burden on to the employee since 1980.

See McDs statement of the two job standard to make ends meet along with the phone number to Department of Family Services for food stamps and Medicaid.

So your saying if I invent something or grow my business to make me and my family money I'm not allowed to keep it, save it? Is it not enough to hire some people to work for me I now based on your statement need to play Robin Hood and give to the poor? It isn't enough to pay taxes but I need to give up my dollar bills to poor folks because of what feeling? Why can't they go and get off their dead ass and get a job or better yet go to school to further their education and then do something amazing? You can't say that person x has some special entitlement over person y so thus they are unable to strive for something greater. I know I've seen people from all walks of life better themselves by getting an education by working their ass off for it. I mean sure it makes it easier that person x has big daddy money bags but that just makes it more meaningful for person y to better themselves with nothing but sheer determination. This way what they make of themselves will be more thankful for that education or whatever they achieved. But I fully disagree that wealthy people should do anymore than what the need to do hell if they inherited that money they are taxed enough that I'm good unless they're making more money in a CD or ira account then they should continued to be taxed until that is no longer the case

Opioids? He's definitely a rightie.
he can't even get work because a bunch of fucking foreigners are better at his job than he is. he needs special privileges and protections just so he can cut down a fucking tree and mill it.

he's definitely a loser and pretty much the definition of a cuck.

Yup, because the rest of the country didn't contribute a fucking thing to your success, so why should you contribute to the country?

And you assholes call yourselves 'Patriots'...

You're just selfish.
