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

Results are only viewable after voting.

So why not tax corporations and non wage income at rates equal to or higher than wages?

I think everyone should share the burden of taxation.

Your assertion relies upon an erroneous default assumption, which is, government interference in human relations somehow isn't an application of force. (Of course it is)

You assume that a given person must first be granted permission by government to engage in some kinds of commerce. You then proceed to ignore the fact that absent permission they will be harmed, then you proceed with a second level ludicrous assertion such as the one in your post I've quoted here....so, there is that, Poopy Pants.

So, while your question appears to be clever, it fails conceptually due to improperly understanding and conveying within the context of the discussion.

The answer is all of the people subjected to the initial threat of violence for noncompliance with the government edict.

You're welcome.

Sense of community exists allover, not just out west. Why would you think that? I always help my neighbors by doing little odds n ends kinds of things, and in return they do small things for me, it's nothing that's expected. I don't need to have anything in return, I don't mind helping people, I enjoy it, it makes me feel good.

It's there in the city/urban areas also, have you ever been in the "hood"? They look out for one another, very tight knit.

I've lived in a few different states for multiple years and I've lived in a couple hoods that were definitely not close knit. Shit, mofos were more likely to kick in your front door than actually lean a helping hand.

Can you explain why you think it is acceptable to create a human interaction on the property of somebody else who prefers not to have the human interaction?

You answered your own question in your question.

See, in society we all enter into an agreement, a social contract if you will. You can do several things: you could abide rules set out by whatever leadership is in control of such things, you can oppose those laws and be subjected consequences or you can decide to live in a shack out in the woods.

The social contract in this country is one that requires you not be a piece of shit and treat people equal based on non consequential identifiers such as race or if they're gay etc. This requirement came around because shitty mentalities of older generations who used forced, and I mean actual violence perpetrated by one human onto another causing bodily harm, to keep African American out of their businesses. The big bad liberal government did what the majority of Americans asked them to do.

So if someone in America really doesn't want to have a "human" interaction with a person of color or of unfavorable traits then that American can just simply get out of whatever business they're in. Easy as that. Then they won't have to worry about being a descent human and they can rot in shit and die. The younger generations will see the end of that backwards ideology.

So, because a thug / cop used a dog to attack a black man (whose ancestors were likely enslaved) it's okay for a white person to insist via legislation that a black person serve a white person if the white person is forcibly entering a black person's property ?


Please define what property is. Is the black person not supposed to own / control his own property ?

Extreme wage gaps are a sign of an unstable economy.

Remember how Dubbya crashed the economy and the Republicans spent the next 8 years trying to blame Mr Obama for it?

I think the Chump will be able to crash it again in less than 4 years. I have faith in him!

A 1st year laborer Vs a 16 year journeyman welder there is going to be a huge wage gap. Has nothing to do with unstable economy, has all to do with experience and putting your time in. Its why America is so great!!!!! There is opportunity everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, please.

Show me the journeyman welder who's making a million dollars a year and I'll get my certification.

A welder might make $100k/yr and frankly I have no problem with that at all.

It's those who inherited a fortune, don't work and still don't pay taxes on their SEVEN FIGURE INCOME that I take issue with.

Your example doesn't address them at all, which leads me to think you're suffering from a failure of information about our economy.

it's way more peaceful to kick out paying customers if their skin color isn't the skin color you like.

It's peaceful to interact with those who wish to interact with you, leave those who don't wish to alone and proceed from there.

What you advocate is institutional forced integration, which is just the flip side of institutional forced segregation.

Individuals should decide between themselves on a mutual basis if they will interact, wouldn't you agree Rapey McPoopy Pants?

You never explain who has a right to force another person to interact with them...can you?

Well that was direct. I guess, since you fail miserably to refute the things I posit, you're going to whine and cast dispersions?

Now, using your big boy words, please tell me which individual has the right to force you to interact with them ?

You primary assumption is flawed. You imply because something is done a certain way, that it is the ONLY way it can accomplished or that it is the right way to do something.

You think a forcible imposition done by people calling themselves government can magically change it to being a "service". Of course roads, postal services , security and fire protection etc. could be provided in a free market.

You don't know what a free market is, which is why you are confused.
