    Car-rental giant Hertz is reportedly preparing for a potential bankruptcy

    Right? I'm supposed to have 6 months worth of living expenses in savings, but a multi-billion dollar corporation sees a reduction in revenue for a month and they're in line at the Fed with their hands out.

    No, I'm saying that it does not CAUSE the income inequality, AND it fails to correct for it.

    GOP tax cut: Revenuse grow, rich pay more

    Wow .. let's take this a piece at a time... Tax revenues always increase over time, regardless if taxes are raised or lowered, it's only a matter of the degree. What a horrible idea. Pay money for government services at a price that generates a profit, so that the government can ... do what...

    Which is exactly the problem, because they're paying a smaller percentage of more income. They are getting so much more of the income, yet financing their tax cuts on the deficit. Ok, "most", not "all". Lower taxes on the rich fails to compensate for it, so it gets worse.

    I must be doing a poor job of relating my thoughts, because you're not disagreeing with anything I believe.

    A Question About Illegal Immigrants

    it's not an employers job to enforce immigration, only to not hire someone known that can't prove they're a citizen. They don't then have to then arrest that person and take them to ICE, they just can't hire them.

    My anecdotal evidence may be skewed since I live in one of the wealthiest counties in the country, but I have bank teller friends that get to see checking and savings account balances and they are continually amazed at how many of their customers have hundreds of thousands of dollars in checking...

    Go find as many people earning over a million dollars per year as you can. Look at their bank accounts. If more than half of those millionaire's accounts show a number less than high 6 figures, I'll eat my hat. Wealth is not finite OVER TIME, i.e. it can be added to for as long as there are...

    Bull****. I just want people to help others around them as much as I do. It's disappointing when they don't. But it's infuriating when not only do they not help, they then rub the poor's faces in it by saying stupid **** like "if you haven't caught up, shame on you".

    The right wing lie about trickle down. by chart

    America as a whole IS better off. Mostly because of the newly, super-wealthy dragging the average up. But most of America is only slightly better off than 40 years ago. Only a slight minority is "far better off". And that's the attitude that makes me want to punch people in the throat. There's...

    The United States is a Democratic Republic. Except when you're at work. Then it's an autocracy.

    To me it reads, "No you can't show us factual charts that show the super-majority of new income going to the bottom 4 quintiles over the past 40 years". And you can't. Because it hasn't.

    A Question About Illegal Immigrants

    I don't think they do. See : the fight for pot and CBD. Employers shouldn't knowingly hire illegals, no.
