What an incredible hold covetousness has on the Democratic party.
If I double or triple my income (I wish!) it doesnt reduce my neighbor's income a dime, even though I am now 'earning a larger percentage of the total wages on my street'.
Misusing statistics as Bernie does here is plain dishonest, because it paints a false picture. It leave the erroneous impression that when one citizen moves up that another must necessarily move down. And it's simply not true.
Class envy and greed are potent political weapons in the hands of dishonest men. Shame on the Democratic party for stooping so low.
Comparing one person to another, going up or down an economic ladder, no, you're right--it isn't a fair comparison.
But, through time, it has been shown, and it repeats itself now, that if the wealthiest classes take in more of the country's wealth than the middle- and lower-classes, that that imbalance can and does lead to not only gross unfairness, but obscene poverty and, ultimately, class unrest and even the downfall at least of the ruling group, if not the country.
But then you're not interested in history, facts, the "bigger picture" or truth.
Check out Russia in 1917 or France, just before the revolution, for two quick examples.
I don't know why someone as obviously wealthy as you--why else would you argue the points of the upper-class?--would waste their time on these issues?
The class unrest is being stirred up by Democrats now as they utilize envy and greed and covetousness to pit one American against another. Shame on you.
You recognize the falsehoods that Sanders made use of, yet you still applaud him for it. Yes, shame on you.
Stop! You're killing me!
"The class unrest is being stirred up by Democrats now as they utilize envy and greed and covetousness to pit one American against another."
That is just classic. Man, you're good.
And then this: "You recognize the falsehoods that Sanders made use of, yet you still applaud him for it. Yes, shame on you."
When Dubya' comes up with tax cuts for the richest of the country, it's not class warfare. But when we want to take them back because they're temporary and because, let's face it, they're rich and, finally, we have a huge deficit (that same Dubya' got us in to, btw), all of a sudden it's class warfare and I--or somebody--is supposed to be ashame of themselves.
Man, that's good. You're a hoot. I hope you're writing standup for somebody.
And then that whole thing about me recognizing "the falsehoods that Sanders made use of, yet you still applaud him for it."
Man, I salute you. That is funny, funny stuff. Thanks.
