Corporations vs Government

Do you think corporations are NOT significantly interfering with .."government of the people, by the people and for the people"?

No, I don't--I think our own government is doing the interfering. They need to butt out and let the people decide.

keefer


You don't see anything non-sensical about your reply? This cuts to the heart of the matter. Who's electing this government you hate so much? It's not the people.....so if you sit and be honest for just one second you might see we both "hate" the same government. You'd also see that we DON'T both hate our country. Why do we both hate the same government but also "hate " each others opinion of what's wrong with it or how to fix it?......this has the potential to be a very good dialog keefer. Let's see what you got in reply. Or if you want to name call some more we can do that...but I'd prefer an honest discussion.

I'd say the government YOU hate and the corporations I hate are in cahoots to the detriment of all of us and at the expense of our governemnt of, for and by the people.

Income inequality

Mark,

The income of the top 0.1% of earners rose 181% over the last 30 years. The income of the top 0.01% of wage earners rose 497% and the income for earners at the top 10% rose only 34% in the same time frame. For low wage earners the rise in income is stagnant over the same time period or even falling. The poverty rate is increasing.

Mark answer this question. Do you think the reason all the increased income is going to the wealthiest people in our country is because ;

A) They are working harder.
B) They have concentrated power and wealth which allows them to benefit from the increased productivity of the average worker.


The discrepancies are growing under the policies of the current administration.

So basically you're bragging about the economy is simply a claim on your part stating . "I support Oligarchies".." I support almost ALL of the wealth produced by the American workers increased productivity being given to the richest elitist."


YOU think you are supporting free markets and democracy and that people like me are socialist. The truth is I'm a free market person and a supporter of democracy and you are a supporter of Plutocracy, unfair markets and monetary corruption of our democracy. Basically you support corporatism which is a principal tenet of fascism. SERIOUSLY...UNKOWNINGLY YOU ARE FAR CLOSER TO SUPPORTING FACISM THEN MOST LIBERALS ARE TO SUPPORTING SOCIALISM. Caps for emphasis...not shouting.
You think you're so brilliant and so commensensical but you are IN FACT are a dupe supporting the selling out of our democracy and of our markets.

Your platform is , "YES, I want to work a little harder, I want my wife to work a little harder, I want my kids to work harder, I want all of the working class to work harder so the rich can become richer without working one bit harder."

Does that really make sense to you? The numbers are undeniable the question is are you capable of such huge self denial?
