How could it be a good thing for the country, if every one in America is poor?

it's the (white, Republican, Christian) American way.  We want your shit, so we are going to take it.  It's not just an income inequality.  The rich get lawyers to try to scare the poor into giving up and signing over the inheritance.  They been doing it since they set eyes on how well the Cherokee Indians were doing.

LIFE should be fair. Perhaps, people should act fairly, and when they do not, to the extreme that they break the laws, the laws should be fair, should be enforced and enforced fairly. This old tripe about the poor getting something with no effort involved is no one's; on the left, right or middle, a sign of fairness. However, that is what the right is constantly accusing the left of; giving away the goods without requiring an effort or performance from those receiving it.  There's study after study that show the more someone has, on average, the more and stronger their greed becomes. And, greed usually leads to avarice.  

when you say.

WTF?

Those groupings certainly don't have a monopoly on wanting my shit, and taking it by force.  Nearly all politicians of any party, at any level of government want me to give up my shit in the name of "fairness", or because it will fund some great new government initiative "for the good of all" (which the politicians get to control, naturally, thus enhancing their power) or some other "worthy objective".

income inequality and now he's out saying his approval rating is in the tank because of racism .

More like “Keeping you in the dark, feeding you bull shit while I steal you blind”.

You are absolutely correct. Many of us would like to live in country where their is opportunity for each person to achieve their full potential, whatever that may be, where laws are applied equally to have and have nots.

get the brain cells you have to work.

Can't you just tell me?

You have to ask people on a hooker site .

...if not the Democrats wouldn't continue to USE the issue.

...that sufficient "resources" have been "expended" by "those who do not need help" to "help" those who *do* need help to "reach their potential"?

I don't know, I don't have my own private jet, and the lack of one is preventing me from reaching my full potential.  Anyone want to "help" me?

I shouldn't have said one group, it's human nature for people to be greedy.  I am in a really unique situation, at this point of my life.  I have some real estate developers, that are holy rollers, try to cheat me out of 1/2 my inheritance of a 16 acre farm that I have been taking care of and bailed out.  And, I have a rich republican aunt that just sent me certified mail trying to cheat me out my 1/4 inheritance on another piece of property.  And then to top that off, a rich republican Superior Court judges son burglarize my home, and his prints mysteriously disappeared.  I emailed the republican Sherriff that I voted for, and was blown off.

I call it striving for , and working towards  success .  

His best failure is comprehending the writings of others .
 Putting his own words together to make a coherent sentence is his second biggest  failure .

I think his inability to string words together into coherent sentences exceeds his inability to comprehend what he reads.

Aside from that, I think we are on the same page where it comes to AF

and why is it that everyone seem to want to do away with the rich? Wouldn't it make more sense to strive to get rid of the poor? In a world absent of the poor, what would we be left with???

Well, it wouldn't be the likes of this guy!

I think, who should make that determination is the rank and file voters, not big money interests and the politicians they buy!  

What's with the little angry face?!?

The thing about those who have succumbed to greed is that they want more, and more of the source of what they hunger for, and they take away any means that another person can use to compete with them for that source. Often those means are considered unethical, and sometimes even illegal.  

Is the biggest myth and brain dead myth. You are going to ask why people come here? If you pay attention, you will find out, most of them are from impoverished places in E. Europe, S.America and Central Asia.  

The Globalist banks realized decades back that you cannot have a central ‘One World’ government when there was such wealth disparity between the U.S. and the Third world nations. Since it is easier to lose wealth than gain it America was put into the crosshairs of a ‘lower the standard of living’ gun.  

There will always be someone who is poor. The poorest person on the planet could suddenly become the richest, and someone would take his place on the bottom.

Christians aren't assholes. Some assholes are Christian. The most Christ-like person I ever met didn't go to church. An never voted in his entire life. Republican or Democrat.

For some people to have more than simply enough as long as everybody has enough.

My mother was younger than me when she become a widow.  My real father left her in very good shape with life insurance.  My mother had never even paid a bill, I stepped in and invested her money.  At the same time, I had just given up my power and walked away from a marriage with nothing but my child.  I was in my twenties, another man married my mother and stold all her money.

As I've said here before, the have been no revolutions due to the "percolating up" of a societies resources. However, there have been plenty where not enough of societies resources were not filtered down fast enough from the top; Russia, France, etc. There's a multiple reasons why we have incarcerated more of our citizens than any other major western country. It is just a matter of time when the floodgates burst open to outright rebellion; a macro response to the 1% withholding resources versus the multitude of micro responses by those incarcerated.

What a tool of the 1%!!!

What a bunch of bullshit! "The poorest person on the planet could suddenly become the richest, and someone would take his place on the bottom." Yep! That's just what the 1% want you to preach to the world.

I don't know how else to respond Willy
