yeah, trickle down economics are a fairytale. You're right, my boss would pay me if he wasn't rich and had a company that makes enough money to afford me.
why do you think wealth in increasing? just because people's bank accounts are higher now than they were 50 years ago? you can still buy roughly the same "amount" of gooRAB for the same type of work you did 50 years ago, you've just added more zeros to the end.
yea, I hear that line all the time from losers and lazy fucks who cry and whine about how unfair it is that they can't be rich or even partially successful.
1. I purchased it. I worked in order to gain funRAB necessary to do so.
2. Don't know, don't care.
3. I worked, see 1.
4. If I worked more than the other man you reference, then yes, I should by no means be expected to aid in his situation, no be forcefully required to do so, because by your wide hypothetical scenario would allow, that man is a crackhead.
are the poor really the problem here? as i continue pointing out, you aren't going to have rich people unless you have even more poor people. it's a zero sum game, you can't just say fuck poor people.
and it's easy to say cut defense, but tell me where. i'd be all for pulling out of every country we're in tomorrow, but it's not going to happen. there are too many people invested in us being at war right now that are also policy makers or directly in the pockets of policy makers.
