To go from $30k/year to $35k/year, I have to let...

[krispos42]

... the rich go from $280k/year to $700k/year.






(Look at 1982 to 2000, the Reaganomics Era)



For 17% growth I have to let the wealthy get a 150% raise.



:wtf:

Give me the New Deal Era, 1933-1982. Because I'm sure as shit not in the top 1%!



If this doesn't show that the vast majority of Republican-voting citizens are dumb as a brick, I don't know what does. Between the economy, the deficit, and the useless wars...

Fuck contemporary conservatism. Bring back Eisenhower before it's too late.

6. got a graph on how our deficit decreases the value of the dollar?

that $5K increase may not be what you/we think it is since the increase in the deficit from tax cuts for the wealthy lowers the value of those dollars

12. Actually I don't that the average Republican is dumb. They are misinformed.

A poll was taken that shows that some 70 percent of all Americans consider themselves to be in at least the 94% percentile of wealth!

Economics is not taught at school. The kids are not taught critical thinking either.

And TV in the United States entrains a person to expect little intelligent discussion, but rather endless stimulation.

13. The Fox News virus will not allow intelligent discussion.

15. I know pretty close where I am on the percentile graph

I believe when I last checked about a year ago I was somewhere in the low 40's. I have zero illusions on that score, and thanks to the intertubes, neither should they.
