Soak the Rich? Or Get Our Wealth Back?
When we had controls on our capitalism, the capitalists needed growth to grow their wealth.
During that time the middle and lower classes shared the growth and the wealth. Free and abundant resources helped the growth. However, when the resources became scarce, the huge combined wealth of the middle and lower classes became a very tempting target for the rich. The rich discovered it was easier to buy some Congress-Critters, get the restrictions lifted, and steal from the middle and lower classes. This was not growth. When the middle and lower classes ask for their money back, they are accused of wanting to “soak the rich.â€
When the rich are stealing our wealth (they say “it’s just business) like they did when the banks failed in 2008, no growth results. When the rich run the market up by buying and selling back and forth, it isn’t growth it’s a pyramid scheme that will eventually fall.
But if the rich invest in jobs and infrastructure, that will lead to real growth that we can all share. The government (us) needs to strongly encourage the rich to do just that.
What? :whatever:

Hey DUmmies, you voted for the thieving, collectivist, communist from Chicago, now live with that decision.

Hey, stupid DUmmies, if you want to "get 'our' wealth back," here's your challenge:
Come and take it. :killemall:

DU folk want "their wealth" back? Fine! Take your precious iMacs, iPhones, and iPads back to the Apple store. See if they'll give "your wealth" back! Ditto for that Volt or Prius! Ditto for that >>32" 1080P HDTV and BlueRay recorder/player! Those $25-$50 Nike tech T-shirts, Those $150 Brooks running shoes, that $50-$100 universal remote that controls everything in their homes except their $800 espresso machine. Etc., etc., etc.!
What is so ______hard to understand about a sales transaction?! They exchanged "their wealth" for all the amenities in their homes and cars (including the homes and cars!). They CHOSE to give something to get something. Want to keep "your wealth"? Easy! Forgo the goodies!

Wealth is something you earn not something you "take".

for people that claim to be the smart party, they are terribly ignorant of economic matters.

Wealth is something you earn not something you "take".
And in the end, wealth that is "spread" is in fact destroyed.

Zero economic IQ.

Odds are Dummies are living better than their parents, who lived better than their parents, who lived better than their parents, etc etc etc..
Yet Dummies always bitch how the wealth was stolen.

Man, don't ask me. That's an entire paragraph of talking point nonsense. I would love to have one of the drooling shitbags lay out in precise, indentifiable terms just how the rich are stealing from the poor.
When the rich run the market up by buying and selling back and forth, it isn’t growth it’s a pyramid scheme that will eventually fall.
:rofl: :rofl: Yeah, let's talk Ponzi Schemes. You can't even define the term.

2. "This was not growth." That's correct. It was legalized theft. Hard to tell where ...
... campaign donations end and bribes start.
Legalized theft. I've YET to see any one of those f'n idiots explain to me exactly how it's legalized theft.

For legalized theft, see "The Clintons".

Or historical, for that matter. The idyll of which the DUmmtard speaks has never existed in this country, and it could truthfully be said that there is less social distance between the rich and anyone else than ever before in our history.
-
Dummies once again asserting the false belief that if someone is making money...they have to be stealing it from someone else.
-
My favorite question for them is what would be the ideal tax rate for the rich to have to pay. The reaction is always hilarious.

Considering most of them live like this:
