The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
One of the most asinine sayings to ever grace this planet. Its
equivalent to saying, "The top of the tree keeps getting taller and
the roots stay where they are." (and, means about the same thing).
The liberal fringe love this saying because they actually believe that
if someone is getting richer, someone, somewhere, must be getting
poorer. They believe this because they are too stupid to realize that
economics is NOT a zero sum game.
I like the way idiots like you keep SAYING it's not zero sum, but ignore the
fact that corporations and the wealthy ACT as if it IS zero sum:
- We need to get rid of those workers to protect the bottom line.
- We can't afford to pay workers what they are worth -- bad for profits,
don'ca know
- Raising the minimum wage will cause unemployment
- Taxing me is stealing my money
etc. etc. etc.
In fact, the growing gap has much to do with shifting the tax burden from
the wealthiest to the middle class. And I expect you will repeat the mantra
about "Stealing money from the wealthy." Well that's the necessary price for
using the taxpayer-provided educated workforce, and the taxpayer-provided
system of laws and law enforcement, and the taxpayer-provided public
infrastructure. These are just a few of the many benefits that accrue from
the fact that humans are social animals and that maintaining a society
requires a government which costs money.
Liberal idiots firmly believe that
there is only a fixed amount of money in the world, and to get MORE you
have to take it FROM someone else. The will never realize that one
makes more money by providing services and/or products to others who
want it. And in doing so, create MORE services and/or products and
MORE jobs and paychecks and MORE money for OTHERS. (there are a few
exceptions, people who are born into money, but that money was earned
by their predecessors and it is their right to do with what they want).
Get a clue, liberals. Socialism may SOUND good, but IT DON'T WORK!!!
Every society, EVERY ONE, has always had its 'poor', people who
live off the graft of others. Not to mention, what liberals consider
'poor' in this country would constitute untold riches in other
societies, past and present.
Redistribution of wealth does not uplift the 'poor'. It just makes
EVERYONE equally poor. Guaranteeing everyone a basic sustenance, and
penalizing the working stiff who has the audacity to make more money
than others, will never be a viable solution. People do not naturally
work 'for the greater good', nor can you force them to. Penalize
the workers, and then they're going to realize that it's easier sit
on their ass and depend on others (especially if they are guaranteed
sustenance, anyway).
