...and I cut out the part that seems to be confusing Morgan. What class are they? Graduating. Pretty simple to folk with no need to derail things....
National Post: NDP making huge gains as Canada tilts leftward

Rich making more than middle and poor increases the fiscal gap between the rich and both.
This confuses you?
The biggest gap is the one between the upper class and the ruling class. So 3 gaps.
With the economic collapse of 08, the middle class slipped and shrank the gap with the poor. As the old saying goes, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" and the ruling class laugh all the way to the bank while the peasants fight over who is getting screwed the most. Seems to be working here.
Yup, being born in North America is like winning the lotto. Nobody in Nor Am is truly in the position of being able to bitch that they are lacking anything that life has to offer.
If living in North America is winning the lotto, then living in the Scandinavian territories is like becoming a deity.
But some people choose to be poor and not be trapped in the rat race or the perpetual cycle of mindless consumerism. Some actually prefer the freedom of living on the street to being slaves to the banks.
Poor if your only criteria is monetary values, which seems to be the case with some on here. I have been living so far below the poverty line (according to Stats Canada) for so long I never noticed there was a recession going on. Being rich, in my view, is a state of mind. My life has been exceedingly rich living in monetary poverty.
I hear ya! Disability isn't a lot better than Welfare so I have a bit of month left at the end of the money. I have food and water to keep me, fair to middling health and my kids, grandkids and dog think I'm pretty cool. That's rich beyond what money can ever buy.
Jealous? That's what hydrocarbon resources do for nations. We'll be styling by 2025 when the sands are cranking out 5 million more bbl per day.
You mean as foolish as implying the Helsinki Accords framed self determination?
Actually, it's Act, Accords or Declaration. Not agreement.
Uh huh, you don't say. That's where Article VIII defers the definition of self determination to international law. Not frame it as you implied.
Obviously you can't.
Obviously about the weather, since you obviously don't know anything about the fundamental human right of self determination or where it derives the power of ergas omnes.
But please do go on, you're a hoot to watch spin and squirm.
Only if your skewed opinion is the basis of the math.
As Petros so kindly pointed out, a library is a wonderful thing. I remember when the Toronto Occupiers shed tears when theirs was torn down.
Besides that, Employment centers also have computer and internet access.
Wrong, I can't afford an iPhone, but I can afford my mortgage, and utilities.
Priorities.
Ya, our old TV died last week. We just moved the old 38" from the master bedroom to the livingroom. A new TV to replace the 48" one that died, would cost us about $800, I'll wait until I find one on sale.
It's a relatively small purchase, but my priorities aren't messed up.
Of course no one believes having an iPhone is living in luxury, not one single person in this thread has said anything like that. But most sensible people believe an iPhone is a luxury.
Please try and stay on point.
It's a luxury and a debt. If you can't afford rent, you shouldn't own an iPhone.
BTW Fuzzy; Do you know what an iPhone is made of?
You got it figured out Cliffy, just got back from Safeway- where 3/4 of the shelves are loaded up with absolute garbage, yet everyone is lined up at them, but I guess this didn't include the 80% of the population that is screaming "poverty". All kinds of "convenience" junk at inflated prices because nobody has the ability, time or inclination to prepare healthy meals themselves from scratch anymore.
I can't afford an iPhone. I have a mortgage.
Sort of puts the idiocy of skewed priorities in perspective.
