But if you ignore such systemic policies, sometimes people, both rich and poor, are not aware of the skewed system so they perceive transferes from rich to poor as welfare, which is a political time bomb. If on the other hand you revise the rules to prevent wealth from flowing from poor to rich in the first place, then you're letting the poor keep their money so the "welfare" rhetoric can't stich anymore 'cause we're no longer talking about taking from rich to give to poor, but rather leveling the playing field so the poor can keep their money.
Woah, Mentalfloss, getting a little emotional there are we? Everyone says things we don't mean now and then.
Yep..............:lol::lol::lol: He seems to think because I'm not convinced he's an expert that I'm criticising him. In fact I don't know much at all about Brison except for two things, he switched parties and he doesn't belong to a party that's in power or likely to be any time soon. If I wanted to get a reliable feel on the economy I'd probably go to someone with a track record like Dianne Francis. :smile:
If you don't trust him because he's not Diane Francis (lol) then that does count as a criticism.
NO- What are his credentials in Economics, show me a degree, or a couple of businesses similar to J.C.Penney or Walmart that he's built from the ground up.
