    There is always going to be rich and their is always going to be poor in our country. Get over it.

    But Obama is just helping the poor stay poor, killing entrepreneurial spirt, preventing the rich from creating more jobs (through government strangulation) for the poor and creating a wealfare state that he thinks we need.

    Common sense and an education is the only requirement to notice that.

    Absolutely.

    Anyone who relies on someone else, will remain poor.

    Its a shame that the information linked above does not support that. Yes, there will always be rich and poor but will the rich always have such a disproportionate levels of relative wealth? They haven't in the past.

    Look at the charts. The numbers aren't made up.

    An honest question here - since the rich have acquired so much more wealth why have they not created more jobs that distribute wealth throughout the rest of society? Isn't this what should have happened?

    The Rich have undoubtdly grown their wealth so why have the rest of us lagged behind.

    When rich liberals start giving away their money, I'll start taking these kinds of threads seriously.

    "why have they not created more jobs"

    Trickle down was always a Movement Conservative bull lie, like every other concept in Movement Conservative philosophy.

    Oh questions get answered, it's just that this particular question goes against everything wing-nuts believe about income distribution and redistribution.... they think the poor minorities are trying to keep them from buying the next ego boost that makes them look good among their rich friends......income redistribution does not target the rich, it targets the wealthy, there's a difference.....Shaq is rich, the guy who writes Shaq's check is wealthy...

    It's weird how countries with socialist governments don't produce the Microsofts, Googles, and Apples of the world. They also don't invent Youtube, Facebook, Amazon, eBay, etc.


    Why is that?


    Why do lefties begrudge these entrepreneurs? Instead of having green eyes of jealousy, why not be inspired that we live in a country were these things are possible? Heck, we live in a country were a person who no one even heard of four years ago can become POTUS.

    You should stick to posting youtubes instead of writing strawmen.

    Redistribution to the bottom of the income scale = socialism

    Redistribution geared to the top of scale = "pro-business, pro-individual" government policy.

    I mean seriously, do you just enjoy kicking your own ass for fun or something? Are you one of boutons' trolls or something, put here to make the right look bad? Every single one of those companies piggybacked themselves on government research. The home computer comes as a result of massive government spending in WWII and the cold war. Every company you listed other than Apple owes their success to research by DARPA.

    It's weird how countries with reasonably regulated financial sectors don't up the planet's economy and destroy $Ts in wealth.

    It DOES happen, but you liberals just take all the money anyway to pay for your pre-emptive wars, unregulated wall street bail outs, and failed education initiatives. I can't really give you any examples of when was good for everyone other than the Clinton years, but that's cuz Reagan/Bush defeated the USSR. Now we're turning into those socialist, we gotta stop it and take up arms (to vote, that is!) against this war on the middle class that Obama is waging. We don't want hand outs, we just don't want to be taxed to death like Obama's been doing since he got into office!

    the US would qualify as reasonably regulated. go look up the Basel Accords and see if the US qualifies. There is a reason the entire world is feeling the hurt right now and it has nothing to do with rules or regulations. ITs much more basic than that. fiat currency is a joke.
