The crackdowns came as a congressional analysis said income for the wealthiest Americans had sharply increased in the last 30 years - up by as much as 275% for the top 1%.
Meanwhile, the bottom 20% saw income rise by just 18%.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15481506If income for the bottom 20% has increase by 18% in the last 30 years, why do we still have welfare? Seems to me some people found a legal way to earn money, why are the rest trying to steal it? Funny how such simple facts are hidden in other stories.

Seems to me some people found a legal way to earn money, why are the rest trying to steal it? Funny how such simple facts are hidden in other stories. $1.00 in 1981 (30 years ago) would be worth 2.64 today after we adjust for inflation An 18% increase to that same dollar over those 30 years makes the person earning a dollar in 1981 get a dollar and eighteen cents today. Hardly keeping up with inflation, is it? Hummm, maybe there should be more welfare instead of the less the miser class has inflicted upon the victims. Funny how the truth is missed by the uncaring corporatists. |

Hardly keeping up with inflation, is it? Hummm, maybe there should be more welfare instead of the less the miser class has inflicted upon the victims. Funny how the truth is missed by the uncaring corporatists. Reminds me of the old saying it takes money to make money. In fact, the ones who increase there income did some of it by investing. You know, taking some of THERE money and financing someone who has a dream of making more of them self. And the dividends came back 10 fold. Still just where were they (low income people) when school was in session? I remember many a classmate who said they did not need to study. Some of them are doing time today. Not my fault so why should I pay for them? Corporatists? Not sure what you mean here when we all know if not for corporations most people today would not have a job (very few self starters in this world). If not for corporations, who would the government tax (and if you are thinking the rich, just how did they get rich?)? If it was up to the government would we even have something as simple as a phone or TV? So again I ask (in a slightly different way) what is the different between the ones who have made it, and the ones who feel the government owes them? |
