It would seem to me if you oppose income inequality and yet you accumulate money yourself, then you have a huge internal contradiction to reconcile.Because you are so ignorant as to not understand the difference between savings and huge income inequality because of Crony Capitalism on the way towards a Banana Republic or another great depression.
I suggest you give everything you have to the poor and follow the example of Mother Teresa, or stop telling others they are wrong for accumulating resources to protect their own family. Originally Posted by friendly fred

In between 1978 and 2014, inflation-adjusted CEO pay increased by almost 1,000%, according to a report released on Sunday by the Economic Policy Institute. Meanwhile, typical workers in the U.S. saw a pay raise of just 11% during that same period...
...Lawrence Mishel, an economist and president of the EPI, said, “The escalation in CEO pay was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in output. They didn’t make the pie bigger but they are taking a bigger piece of it. What that means is that everyone else has a smaller piece.”

I'd vote for him - otherwise, I have to vote for Trump, just to irritate the shit out of all the Hillary snowflakes. Originally Posted by friendly fred

Yesterday - or Wed., the Wall Street Journal ran piece that discussed Mr. Sanders vs Hillary. With all the crap Hillary pulled on Sanders they claimed there was so much resentment that a large group of Sanders people (I think it was 12%), which was enough to put Trump over the top. Anyway the thought was, it was that portion of the Democrats that got Trump elected. I have to dig up the paper and read it again. Originally Posted by sjohnlewis

Zilch or was it Senator Nadda? More like Demonicrats Larry, Mo and Curly.
Reread what was written and try and understand how Crony Capitalist are turning this country into a Banana Republic Originally Posted by WTFI read what you just wrote as dodging the question.
Because you are so ignorant...Are you pretending to be literate in economics again, snitchy? Your boy Larry Mishel is the one spouting nonsense - just like you do with every post you make. He says US output (real GDP) did not increase between 1978 and 2014. In fact, it more than doubled from $6 trillion in 1978 to $16 trillion in 2014 (measured in constant 2009 dollars). So clearly the pie got much bigger!
