Wealth redistrubution

[Capvin]

Ah, sorry, I thought Helmet was more logical. Why, yes, of course, it all began with LBJ's great society. It is probably the fault of that pesky Civil Rights Act. If it were not for that we would not have had all those millions of formerly hopeless cases attempting to better themselves and we probably would not have our current President. I understand your thinking, I really do and sympathize. On second thought I think I will sell my extra GPA points.

Please forgive me if what you meant was that it is medicare that began to cause the problems, but I can not see anyone thinking that, so I guess it was the Civil Rights Act. More logical.

Hermit, your OP is an attempt to troll. You are looking to annoy people, I think.

Wealth redistribution and relativism go hand in hand. One begets the other. If you believe there is no universal truth than it makes it easier to justify taking someone else's money/property and giving it to those that need it based on their relative reason.

Watch out for the thought police.

Ed...don't waste your time here. Sherriff Joe has announced that he has some new evidence regarding Obama's birth certificate. You need to be there to keep him company. Donald Trump is there also.

Now wouldn't that be relative? depends if you are with the "haves'" crowd or the have not" crowd.

More relativism.

Helmet...I must say that in your case I can see that it makes sense to you to compare kids grades to wealth. And I mean that sincerely and I want you to continue to believe that because it is important that some people continue to believe fantastic things. Reality is that in 2007 only 20% of the people in the United States owned or controlled 85% of all of the wealth. That leaves only 15% of the wealth for the rest of the 80% of the people. It has gotten progessively worse since 2007. If you still live in the pre Victorian age then that kind of disparity in wealth between the classes is fine and acceptable. If you are at all a thinking and sensible person you will immediately say.."hey, something is wrong with that." It does not mean that the wealth should be redistributed. That is what you learned by listening to Glen Beck. No, as it is we have almost eliminated the middle class in this country and if you need and explanation of why that is a bad thing, then you would not be able to understand it in any event. What is needed is more oportunities for the middle class to obtain wealth and if that does not happen, then the middle class is gone and so is this country. PS, my grade point average was pretty high so I am sure that I could lend you some of it.

And that story of the ficticious professor (please dont tell me you think that is real also); is is simple if you can define simple as dumb, like in simpleton.

Hmm... I wonder how redistribution of wealth has created wealth? There is an old saying "easy come easy go" If you need government's help to get your wealth chances are you are going to need government's help managing it. Are you that inept?
