So much angst from these first-world wankers. So much angst.
Was it one of these 2 that forgot?
The poor wee little lambs... Life is so unfair!
N.Korea, the (former) Soviet Union and Cuba.... Not exactly the utopic model of life one might aspire to.
I'm still a little confused as to what these protesters want. Do they want those that make money and the economy go round to just give it away? And what about all the multi millionaire actors , rock stars, and jocks that most certainly do not deserve all they money they get? How come no protesting outside the hockey rinks and theaters? Then there are the ones that are the real drag on the economy, the millions of government employees with defined benefit pension plans, why is no one protesting that?
I don't think they know what they want. They are just frustrated and angry, which I can understand. But frustated and angry without a focus or a goal in mind just leads to more frustration and anger, imo.
What about them? That is selective data. To have any meaning they would also have to show how much the top 1% paid in taxes as compared to the lowest 1%.
The protesters seem to be striking out blindly, have no clear alternative in mind. Nor do they suggest what is a fair return on investment for risk. NOr do they seem to be able to decide how much the lowest wage should be or how it will reflect on the economy. It is all fine to say that MCjobs must pay $20.00/hr but how many of these jobs would still exist if your hamburger cost $15 instead of $3?
And neither is America now.
Welcome to the club of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
Enjoy your stay!
And if you're lucky, you might just become a veteran!
So the only slides you looked at were about taxes?
You didn't think about the profitability of the banks, along with the multiple of CEO salary times workers (which has gone up drastically), or any of that other stuff.
out of the whole thing, the only idea you got was taxes.
No wonder you don't understand.

I get it now... You were expressing your own, unvalidated or provable, personal opinion.
Gotchya

That tends to happen when you raise taxes.... For a little while, at least.
