Wait a minute. Doesn’t 5% of the population have 90% of the wealth?
I still don’t see what all this has to do with the article. I’m all for populist uprisings but you gotta be against government spending if you want to be against taxes. You can’t just rely on “fuzzy math” like the previous administration (who increased spending while decreasing taxes – hey Republicans! It’s not an inverse relationship!)
What this has to do with the article is that Democrats are obsessed with creating laws that just promote lawsuits and we are going to get rid of them next year!
The dems being in charge of everything are a nightmare to our country….unless you are dependent on the govt. They want more and more people dependent on the govt to keep themselves in power. Only fools fall for this!
It seems every other special interest group can sue for discrimination, but when a group such as older Americans want the same protection, the Dems want to make it harder for them. There is a lot of age discrimination going on out there. The problem is, the ones making the laws are exempt from them, or they are so rich it doen’t affect them.
Actually, the top 10% earn 50% of all income in America, but pay 75% of all taxes. The top 1% own 40% of all assets in America. But all of this is misleading, because many of these rich people, aren’t in fact, people. They’re corporations and most are owned by all all Americans, either by direct stock purchase, pension funds, or 401Ks. In fact, if you count debt held as a measure of wealth, then it’s mostly foreign countries that ‘own’ most of America’s wealth.
The greatest single asset of wealth in the US in human capital and the more education and training held by a person, then the numbers presume that such a person has wealth. In this case, it’s only fair that those who work hard to improve themselves should reap the rewards. What is the olbigation to those who spent their youth partying and drinking from those who has spent their youth studying off their butts? So, we should reward the grasshoppers?
Anyway, Youngin’, you’re clearly a liberal, so I doubt that facts will have any influence on your dogmatic approach to politics.

Youngin, The top 5% of earners in this country pay 70% of the taxes. bottom 25% pay nothing!
What this has to do with the article is that Democrats are obsessed with creating laws that just promote lawsuits and we are going to get rid of them next year!
Point taken, but are you really ready to put Republicans back in charge? We just got rid of them.
Close- the bottom 40% pay nothing taxes.
The dems being in charge of everything are a nightmare to our country….unless you are dependent on the govt. They want more and more people dependent on the govt to keep themselves in power. Only fools fall for this!

I say fire Senator Byrd from West Virginia first. OMG he is a fossil.
Yes I am ready for conservatives not the bunch of liberal democrats and spinless republicans we have now.
I would say start a new party if it wouldnt fragment the republican party and all crazy a$$ liberals run ram shot over all of us.
I think that we need legislation to protect white males between the ages of 25 and 65. We are the most descriminated class in society now!
