        So what do you propose once the disparity between the cost of living and your hard earned wage is such that something as simple as a litre of milk represents something like 3-4% of your total wage.

        For the current system to work the rate of inflation must be at pace with the rate of wage increase and we've seen that not be the case for some 3 decades now...

        And dont say they should get another job ie scapegoating...

        These are the hard task type questions that need to be resolved if people are to have a fighting chance heading into the future...

          I guess it comes down to this....when did we start thinking the govt will help things if they merely take more money. We've tried that distribution for 60+ years and yet the overtly levels have risen. I always wonder why everyone hates the bankers fur getting a million dollar bonus but are just fine with a rapper getting $10 million for a song or a baseball pitcher getting $90 million....seems sort of hypocritical. Or Sean Penn being worth millions and telling everyone else they should pay....Michael Moore earning tens of millions off capitalism then demonizing it or get this....he's mister anti gun and hates gun owners but lives in a place that has armed guards....it's fine for him just not others.

          Rant over bud
          Good thing that was a rant.

                amazing. Those had to be Sander's voters but the positive is, they probably will forget when the election is.

                  Thanks Bush, with your no child left behind bullshit. Having said that, 99.9% of people interviewed might've
                  gave the right answer, just edited out. Yet, with all youtube watchers, they believe what they see.

                    Dwight, are you going to explain your epiphany. I have set up a dedicated thread just for you to explain how you came to be an agnostic.You know you are the guy that claimed to be an agnostic, you are the guy that doesn't like to be called a shallow thinker, you are the guy that craves recognition. However, every single time I give you a chance to pontificate or at least explain your beliefs on a matter that YOU mentioned in this case your religious beliefs--well you just fail to show up.

                    You see Dwight, I imagine that you are not going to respond--again. How many times is this now. How many times has a academic challenge been put forward and you simply ignore it or answer with some bs. This is your big chance to find that recognition. So either you are writing out your academic response or most likely you will ignore it. How many times Dwight..tell me how many times must you be exposed to be the idiot that you are.

                      Not sure. You have hundreds of times over many years but I am guessing that won't stop you from doing it some more.

                        oh dwight, that is the best you can do?

                        even when you have a chance to vindicate yourself with a simple explanation of how you determined your religious views. so you think this is clever. poor dwightie, you are such a lost soul.

I am the bitch of this forum and proud of it.

                              You bumped it 3 times now and and mentioned it in a few other threads as well. No one cares about your thread. It's so obvious but you have such little respect for yourself and the forum that you will keep doing it.

                                maybe but I will keep up the good fight, maybe you will someday be able to gather your thoughts and prove that you are not a shallow thinker. you get so angry when your intellect is challenged, but when given a fair shot to prove your intellect, to prove that you can think deeply about a subject and btw a subject that your mentioned. I did not mention agnostic, you did. You claimed you are an agnostic. Well I have given you an opportunity to explain your decision in detail. And that would take some detail and some very deep thought.

                                But you as usual come up with nothing, the best you have is changing an individuals post. Now tell me is that act an act of a deep thinker or a shallow thinker. Is that the act of an intelligent thinking adult or a child. You answer that.

                                Also when you get a chance tell us your agnostic story.

                                    when nothing to say this is what our not "shallow thinking" guy resorts to. I need say very little. His response, physically change my post, or give a blah blah blah, or brutalize a child, or post an outright lie about me, or ignore the thread completely.

                                    this is a guy that is very upset when called a "shallow thinker" well read his responses again and you decide. you know I have second thoughts about shallow thinker. calling dwight a shallow thinker is a huge insult to shallow thinking people. I apologize.

                                        and their it is again from our not so much "shallow thinker" lol

                                        this is the same guy that implored me to start a truce, the next day he printed an outright lie. as I said I apologize to shallow thinkers. now we will get another paste, a blah blah blah, a dishonest comment, or some other bs. He will not absolutely not address the issue of his religious beliefs. and he is not a shallow thinker.

                                              dwight, you will not keep me occupied in this thread with the hope I will allow the dedicated thread to lapse. I will not my friend. I like a good friend that I am, will continue to give you a chance to explain your life changing epiphany. Can't understand why you will not take the opportunity to prove that you are the intellect that you want everybody to think you are.

                                              why when given the chance will you act like a clown and paste, and blah blah blah, and do every single simpleton action when you can vindicate yourself. here is your chance to prove me wrong, don't understand it.

                                              okay my friend I will allow you most of the responses in this particular thread, continue with your nonsense. it really exemplifies how you are not a "shallow thinker." but I will be back later, here or in your dedicated thread.

                                                          check back in when your IQ gets above room temp. then read you history book again. "socialism" built the greatest middle class/standard of living the world has known.

                                                          the "free market" doesn't exist and never has. government creates the market. any calls for "free market" are stupid and transparent (stupid for the reason i just listed, and transparent because your motives are clear: removing the only thing capable of stopping the oligarchic power-grab). anyone not ignorant to history would know that the "freest" markets (i.e., victorian england) created a system in which the masses lived in extreme poverty.

                                                          bernie isn't calling for the government takeover of the means of production -- you penetrating simpleton!

                                                                  1. The top 1 % now owns 40% of wealth , while those in the middle class are making less than they were decades ago, when incomes are adjusted for inflation. America is behind Europe in terms of income inequality. Income inequality goes hand in hand with inequality of opportunity , so that those born at the bottom are condemned to almost certainly remain there.
                                                                  2. Virtually all senators and most representatives are from the top 1 % and know that if they serve the top 1 % they will be rewarded by the top 1 %
                                                                  3 The chances of a poor or middle class citizen making it to the top in America are smaller than in many European countries and in all other advanced countries.
                                                                  4. Almost a quarter of American children under age 5 live in poverty. Among developed countries , only Romania has a higher rate of child poverty. Those children have almost no chance of living the American dream.
                                                                  5 We spend more on healthcare than any other country.
                                                                  6. If tax rates on return capital were simply equal to the rates imposed on those who actually work for a living , we could realize an extra $2 Trillion dollars in ten years.
                                                                  7.While economic forces cause gaps between rich and poor , public policy on taxation , the minimum wage , health care , and education are more responsible.
                                                                  8 People who are well off and live apart from those of lesser means are divorced from economic problems faced by the shrinking middle class.
                                                                  The above was originally written by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E Stiglitz. He knows that our country has been become morally wrong. It is obvious. The rich get richer. The rest of us (Working middle class) get less than ever. Only one canidate has addressed these issues. Bernie Sanders. Only the top 1% will be hurt by a Sanders Presidency. Don't worry. They will be just fine.

                                                                      Give tax cuts to the rich/ corporations and watch the economy soar! At what point do they realize it doesn't work?

                                                                      Flat tax? Give me a break. 10%? yeah, for us peons. Rich will be lucky to pay 1%. Don't blow smoke up my ass
