Remember, if you believe in trickle-down, you think the "job creators" should have virtually ALL the money.

AHEM!....

There is a middle ground.....

Give the rich people all the money, and they'll continue to hoard it invest it in their own interests. This idea used to work pretty good at one time, before the US Government allowed us to pay foreign workers in different countries to do the work at a fraction of the cost.

Give the poor people all the money, and they'll spend every dime above and beyond sustinance on booze, drugs, gambling and hookers (in no particular order).


Don't give me any of the "well that's racist" BS either. Most of the people I know were middle-class 10 years ago. They got credit practically shoved down their throats when they didn't need it, and whether it was paying WAY more for a house than they needed to, or personal vices, or just the inability to "click and pay" when there was no "account limit maxed" warning preventing it, they're all now.

These are all, supposedly, smart, educated and mostly white people. Now they're all getting Bankruptcies and other bail outs. I'm sure it won't be long until tax payers will have to pay for college debt elimination since college isn't getting most of the graduate jobs either, especially in the Liberal Arts.




I'm constantly calling credit card companies to reduce my max line. I CAN'T BELIEVE that nearly every credit card I apply for today would be willing to extend me 5k in credit when that's more than 50 percent I make after taxes in a year with no overtime... and I don't give a shit how good my credit score still is. The only reason I have different credit cards today is because I stack up different bonuses depending on where I'm shopping. Back when I was 21, I had over 80k in credit. Why would anyone give somebody who didn't even get an associates 80k in credit with no assets other than their car?????

Scientifically speaking.... look at the stats Niki....

I think the results of the lower middle class "experiment" and the aftermath of it all, is self evident.

Have you ever thought that maybe the only reason that the "1%" has control of 90% of the economy is because we'd all be living in our own filth if wealth was distributed equally among us?



No.....


WOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'M RICH BE-OCH!!!!!

Top shelf liquor on me all night. Vegas baby, yeah!

Those are my friends, even at 32 who don't have kids.... If you gave them an extra 10k a year to spend, they'd blow it in 2 weeks.

Good one Chris...and they DO have them, don't they?

Since it was responding to a quote from me, I broke my rule and started reading Sux's post. Got as far as "Give the poor people all the money, and they'll spend every dime above and beyond sustinance on booze, drugs, gambling and hookers (in no particular order)." Wow. That's as far as I bothered to go. Back to ignoring him...

because anyone who responds to you responds in blue.

That's the thing about fiat currency. If all of us were wealthy, then none of us would be wealthy.

Not just fiat currency, any currency.
