Income Inequality

[Okeefenokee]

You think those jobs and increasing wealth disparity have anything in common? Dude, I can assure you that you won't ever get on the 1% radar working for somebody.

My point is that the Middle Class would be much healthier than it is if income was pushed downward. This is not the same as redistributing wealth to the poor, it's letting the next equally talented & ambitious person catch some opportunity. Fuck The Poor, that's what Welfare is for.

And there it is.

If you aren't in the 1%, you're being wronged. Let's take all the their money.

Forget being happy with what you've been able to achieve. There are fat cats out there who have more than you, and they don't deserve it.

There won't be any pitchforks coming from this pussy ass class of losers. That sort of action is what makes people wealthy, and we all know the lazy fucks who'd rather sit around blaming the fact that they aren't Bill Gates on other people aren't ever going to rise up.

This ain't the middle ages. Lazy slackers ain't gonna lead any revolutions. All you can count on from them is to vote for your plan to take from others. Just hope you have some workers, though. The losers ain't gonna actually get out there and take anything. That's for other people to do.

Dude, it's all a game. There is no right & wrong, there's only exploiting the rules, getting lucky & thinking you're winning because you're so much better than everyone else.

"There isn't going to be a revolution, eventually 51% will simply vote for socialism." - me

That's horseshit. You didn't get to where you are because you fell backwards into fortune over and over again like a bad replay of Seinfeld. The world doesn't work like that for 99% of people.

Your vote for socialism mantra ignores the many many times there have been revolutions that killed all the socialists. Remember that.

No wonder your country lacks social cohesion.

Let me introduce you to Tim Cook, the man who got into the 1% by working for Steve Jobs.

350 million people in the U.S. 2% of the population is "gifted." That's 7 million right there, not counting brilliant immigrants, of which there's a larger % of "gifted" by natural selection. But my experience is that somewhere between the top 5-10% is extremely competent, and double that for competent. Almost all jobs could use any "gifted" people and most of the next range are interchangeable too. And once the process is in operation, it only takes a competent person.

If you are talking "gifted", you better mean smart... because the gifted people I see in Boston, are on the streets begging for money because, well because.

If you are talking about lucky/talented, then you may be right, but want to know something else... those who make it, normally came from nothing. Which has nothing to do with this topic, because we are talking about people who can't make it because they are too weak willed to ask for more money, or can't get out of bed because they can't do the simple things in life, like think.

It lacks cohesion because we stopped having standards....

Fuck Tim Cook, how about people working at Google, or even Microsoft in general, a lot of them are working millionaires.
