BTW that is an idiotic bit of propaganda you quoted. Peoples world? MIght as well cite the Daily Kos or DU
its a stupid question. Those who do well owe nothing to you. Your life and your situation is note their fault
The more important question is why do you think the super rich are owed so very much?
The figures are from the census:
U.S. Poverty: Census Finds Nearly Half Of Americans Are Poor Or Low-Income
But in matters not for the question, what percentage of your fellow citizens living in poverty would you find acceptable to maintain the record wealth by the 1%?
Out innovate them just like we used to do before the GOP tax cuts for outsourcing. Why do you think it is right to make the working class in this country suffer to increase competition while the fat cats are raking in record wealth?
The more important question is why do you think the super rich are owed so very much?
Go and meet with the people living next to the runways at the Cali airport in Columbia or the nomadic tribesman on the plains of Tanzania and then get back to me what poverty really means
Again another moronic question. I don't think they are "owed" anything. They have what they have because they have it. I don't sit around worrying why. Why do you think you are entitled to what they have when you have done nothing to deserve it?
Really? Of all the questions you could of chosen the question you pick is why the rich are owed something? Did you notice that the problem is you are wanting from them? Nope..
It took long enough for you to admit that you think until the working class in this country are as poor as the nomadic tribesman on the plains of Tanzania, they should keep sacrificing to maintain the record wealth of the 1%.
Thanks for being honest! Its like pulling teeth with you.
Lets just take it back a step. Different societies split up the proceeds of people's labors differently. Some give the lion's share to the person actually doing the work, others give a larger share to the owner of the company. The US has the dial cranked as far in favor of the owner as possible. You seem to think that having the dial cranked as far that way as possible is some sort of god given right the super rich have. So, again, why is that? Why do you feel that they are owed so very much of our GDP?
How much freedom are you willing to destroy in order to make life "fair". How many rich people do you want to kill and take their wealth in order to slake your feelings of being treated unfairly by the "system"?
I want to significantly reduce income inequality, and I also oppose your view on public sector unions.It took long enough for you to admit that you think until the working class in this country are as poor as the nomadic tribesman on the plains of Tanzania, they should keep sacrificing to maintain the record wealth of the 1%.

As I said before, public sector unions hurt the poor. The poor do not benefit from higher costs, higher taxes and lower quality on their public services.
How many rich people died in the 1990s due to having their tax rate a few percentage points??? Do tell us how the rich suffered so in the 90's! We are listening.
Many of the ones who work in public sector unions earn significantly above average. What people like you have suggested is some kind of trickle down economics where making rich public union workers richer, the poor will get richer as well. But that is in reality incorrect.How do you propose to significantly reduce income inequality by reducing income of the working class?
Yes I have, read my last post, on page 65.You have not made that case.
faulty premise. Wage and hour laws and minimum wage as well as the death/estate taxes and a progressive income tax that makes the top 5% pay more of the tax bill than the rest of the country combined cut against your idiotic claim that it is cranked as far as possible
that is a lie and you know it.
How many people died in GITMO?
Many of the ones who work in public sector unions earn significantly above average.
It's certainly cranked farther in favor of the rich than it has been ever before in modern history in the US and farther than it is in any other first world country... I don't know, maybe it is possible to turn it a bit further that way before it would trigger a revolution... But not much farther. IMO this is about as far as a country can go in that direction.
So you admit that no rich people died in the 90's due to not getting quite as big tax cut, as you implied earlier, thank you!
Your pathetic attempt to justify treating people unfairly because it didn't kill them is as moronic as it comes
I really tire of the whining. If the dems were talking about the super rich who can manipulate their income the way Buffett does you might have a semblance of a point. THe problem is you whine about the super rich yet the policies you support attack anyone who makes more than a couple hundred K a year Hardly the rich or the uber wealthy. and you lump everyone in that group into targeting them as robber barons. you can pretend you do this for the "good of the society" but really, it looks like sour grapes and envy given how much whining and dishonesty that comes from the "tax the rich" crowd
Sure,Proof of your premise before we proceed to discussion based on your premise.
Union Members SummaryIn 2011, among full-time wage and salary workers, union members had
median usual weekly earnings of $938, while those who were not union
members had median weekly earnings of $729
You are the one that made the claim that rich people died due to the slightly higher tax rates in the 90s. So tell us, since you now admit that they didn't die, how did the rich suffer then like the working class is now?
Sure,
Union Members Summary
The ones with strong unions earn even more. This is for both private sector and public sector. Public sector workers earn more than private sector workers, and we haven't even talked about compensation, and retirement benefits. Many union workers earn significantly above average.
