Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

Yea the crazy extreme left they are sooooooo terrible!
Those darned socialists!

US wealth inequality - top 0.1% worth as much as the bottom 90%
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

We are not talking about the top 1 % we are talking about the top .01% who have more wealth than the 90%.

And the 01% need tax breaks! They are hurting so bad! And the tax code is costing them a fortune in accountant fees. My heart bleeds for them!

When exactly should the "crazy, insane, extreme" far left say something about this?

This is not really socialism that they are really demanding it is regulation of capitalism!

Should all of our country's wealth be tied up in families that are buying our senators and starting unnecessary wars murdering millions of civilians, so they can profit from the carnage?

When exactly should the crazy far left speak up about these issues?
You have bought the line sold to you by the 01%!

That the 90% are so greedy always expecting a handout! The 01% have fed you this talking point and you parrot it like a mindless drone.

The labor class of this country has proven itself many times over. It was the labor class that rid the world of Hitler so the crazy far right could elect a racist (alleged) pedophile as president!

The labor class works the jobs that do not provide a living wage even though it not enough to survive on. What the hell more do you want!?

I went to Burger King today... A guy in his 30's with one eye is working in a hot greasy kitchen for minimum wage making hamburgers for less than 40 hours a week. A wage that will not pay his rent or supply food for his family. All so mega corporation fat cats can feed their shareholders with more cash for their extravagant and decadent lifestyles of, gold toilet seats and ten car garages!

When should the crazy far left speak up about this horrible condition of inequality that exists in our society?

Does Burger King need a tax break? Really?

I applaud Burger king for giving the guy a job but... Is it out of the goodness of their hearts or because he is so desperate he will work for near nothing just to survive?

The freeloaders are no good! ...and those who do work these ridiculous jobs are not worthy of paying a living wage!

Have you ever worked at a fast food restaurant?

Where is the equality in that?

Would you like to collect other people's trash in the bitter cold for minimum wage? Those ******* minimum wage freeloaders expect to get paid enough to live on?

You are sick in the head Baldimo! SICK!...

When are you gonna wake the **** up and realize what a stupid **** idiot you are?

According to the Inspector General's report, the Education Department under Ms DeVos has received 25,991 debt cancellation claims, denying two and approving none.

During Mr Obama's final months in office, from 1 July 2016 to Mr Trump's inauguration in January 2017, the Education Department received 46,274 claims, approving 27,986 and denying none.

Baldimo said: Greed is looking to take something that isn't yours.

You mean like buying senators so they will tax the poor so the rich can claim zero on their taxes like Trump?

Is greed laundering Russian money?

Is greed the rich not pay their fair share

and polluting our environment for their own profit?

Is greed giving tax breaks to the rich so they can outsource jobs to vulnerable foreign labor?

Is greed starting wars for profit? Using people to death for profit?

Is greed taking food from children and old people so rich people can pay zero?

Stealing from social security and giving it to the rich.

That sound like reverse socialism to me?

That is not capitalism that is reverse socialism.

Expecting middle class taxes to be returned to the middle class is capitalism... Is is a trust that the greedy GOP have violated in their crooked shell game.

Is greed using soldiers in war to profit from their death and then abandoning them when they are in need?

Taking middle class taxes and giving it to the rich is greed and robbery.

You have once again shown how sick you are in the head.

"Conscience seared with a hot iron".. incapable of understanding.

Speaking the doctrines of the 1% devils

and your president "speaking lies in hypocrisy"

This is greed when the rich have taken advantage of the system in such measure that capitalism becomes a nightmare rather than a dream.

State officials in Virginia started warning families this week that the popular Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is about to run out of money.

It's one of several states that have given notice or are preparing to tell families that funding for the program has ended and Congress has failed to renew it.

For many families, that could mean an end to their health care unless they find someone to offer free care to their kids, according to Linda Nablo, chief deputy director at Virginia's Department of Medical Assistance Services.
"I would say most families, their children will go without insurance," Nablo said.

CHIP is a joint state-federal health insurance plan for low-income kids who don't have health insurance any other way. Funding varies from state to state but most of the money comes from the federal government.

Federal funding for the program ran out in September and Congress has failed to renew it. The continuing resolution passed last week keeps the federal government open for business until December 22 and it included a patch for CHIP, but that was just to move money from states that have not yet run out of cash to states whose CHIP programs were about to go broke.

Virginia's program, known as FAMIS (Family Access to Medical Insurance Security), runs out of money in February.

"We are hopeful that Congress will once again provide the funding to continue this program. However, because Congress has not acted yet, we need to let you know that there is a chance the FAMIS programs may have to shut down," the Virginia letter reads.

I'm not concerned with income inequality, there will always be those who have more or less than others. You can't force income inequality in any way short of killing the rich taking their money.

Not true, the wealthy were surprisingly healthy when the share of wealth they owned was a lot less.

Since 1980, the share of the wealth the top 1% owned went from 24% to 43% in 2012, with no end in sight.

In other words, since Reagan got elected, the rich have had about a fifth of the USA's wealth transferred to them and away from the 99%.

Which explains why we have a growing GDP yet life for the 99% doesn't seem to improving the way you would think. Check the chart:

Conservatives complain about the growth in the numbers of people on food stamps and welfare in the past 37 years.

Well, if the 1% is going to take an additional fifth of the country's wealth for itself over that period, (on top of the quarter of the country's wealth that it already had), that goes a long way toward explaining why more people need government assistance.

No money is being sucked from CHIP health care for children by the ACA at all.

How about the lack of revenues due to tax cuts for the wealthy that the Republicans put in under Bush, and which situation will worsen with the new tax bill if it passes?

When it comes to kids' health care, apparently your instinct is to look right past the wealthy who got a tax break a few years ago and possibly are going to get a bigger one now, and point your finger at the guy who works a full week but still can't afford a doctor if he breaks a leg.

Do you think this 1% has been the very same people since 1980, it's a stagnent pool of limited people, or have then been more people becoming wealthy? I'm willing to bet that there are more people in the 1% now than there was in 1980.

Do you think Bill Gates forced anyone to buy his Windows product? Did Jeff Bezos force people to use his book service Amazon back in the early 2000's? You seem to think these types of people cheated others and became rich.

You leftist need to drop this class envy schtick.

You can try and class me as one of the 99% but that is BS and I reject your label for my economic status.

Paying people to have children and not work isn't a good thing for the economy.

I heard on the radio once and it made sense, "If you want more of something subsidize it, if you want less of something then tax it."
