income inequality debate

Society is a bitch ain't it?

If you hate collectivism as much as your seem to indicate on this thread, why don't you move to a more free-form lawless environment. I don't think the 1st world is the right place for you.
 
I don't mind income inequality. If you want more collectivism and income equality, you might want to move to Cuba. A free country would not be the place for you.

Why would I move? I am not the one constantly complaining about how our government is currently structured is or the broad efforts it makes to address certain societal issues as being "theft".

Ironically this will lead to the demise of America.

The Tunnels is mostly complaints about things the government is doing or is not doing. If you don't want to hear people complaining about the government, maybe you should move to a more collectivist society where no one complains about their government.

Responses like this just reek of passive aggressiveness and butthurt. It doesn't help your argument to reduce your opponent to the margins, especially by using the reductive and cliched call to socialist regimes. It's truth that the top % of American earners have gotten much richer in the last decade, while the rest of the country has stagnated or become poorer. It's unhealthy for a society to have such extreme wealth disparity, and calls for more bootstraps among the poor isn't going to remedy that.
 
Private charities do not require a gun to be pointed at anyone.

Again, WTF are you talking about? Which public charity requires a gun to be pointed at anyone?
 
You do have a right to complain tjcmd. I just find your complaining repetitive and uncompelling. But complain away.

Government is force. It should be used sparingly. It should be used especially sparingly for "charity". True charity, without the use of force, is better.

Which government agency demands you donate to a charity at gun point? And please, please don't say taxes...
 
I don't even need to consult Townie on this one - my post wasn't ironic. If you don't like my post then maybe you should encourage your fellow pubs not to cry "socialism" every time that someone fairly challenges the growing economic inequality in this country. Economic inequality and buying power stagnation is also negatively affecting the rural, nascar watching, 1st amendment protecting, duck dynasty t-shirt wearing republican voters. If they weren't being distracted by gay marriage and BENGHAZI!, they would notice.

You don't think the governments in the US force tax money out of people and then purport to use it for "charity"? What are all those transfer payments?
 
Those "payments" also create jobs and lessen crime. They also protect innocent children. But in tj's world if there wasn't enough giving to charity, fuck the innocent kids! Let them them die on the street! That'll teach them.

Let seniors not have a place to live, healthcare or income. It's their fault. Fuck 'em if they can't do it.

Maybe tj has a biz plan for the new generation of debtors prison and an Angie's List-esque concept for an indentured servitude placement company.
