Extreme wealth inequality is by far the largest single issue hurting America and affecting many other issues today. However, it is also one of the least talked about. Why do we waste all our time talking about if guys should wear girls clothes, rather than major issues like wealth inequality?
>>541658380Wealth inequality is a fake problem. It doesn't matter to me if you have $100,000 or $1,000,000 dollars. What matters is how I live. Worrying about inequality is spite pretending to be politics.
It is not that the super rich deprive the poor of money, but they use that wealth and power to advance their own interests at the expense of others.
>>541658380The solution to this and most problems facing the west is mass deportations.
Why is it a major issue?
>>541658492We already have mass deportations. It hasn't done shit for my wages.Do I really have to wait 30-40 years for you to get them all before I get a livable wage?
>>541658632>We already have mass deportations.When? Operation Wetback?
>>541658444incredibly retarded post
>>541658671Yeah, 600k fits my definition of "mass". I know Obama did more, but it still counts.
>>541658444Kek, the eternal anglo, nice bait.
>>541658380You have to deport the beaners. You cannot have wealth equality when the upper class get to have slaves.
>>541658754>Yeah, 600k fits my definition of "mass"Not when there's 30 million plus illegals in the country.>I know Obama did more, but it still counts.Most of Obama's numbers were from migrants being turned away at the border.
>>541658880The most accurate number I have is 14 million. Pew research. And if you don't like the number of deportations, complain to trump till they go up.But the point still stands, it hasn't done shit for my wages. How many decades do I have to wait till I get a livable wage under your plan?
>>541658716You're just a spiteful useless eater. If I work hard and buy a Rolex you think it's a problem because you're lazy and didn't get one.
>>541658380This is literally a non-issue. Wealth inequality has zero impact on your life.The market cap of companies in the portfolios of people you’ll never meet has no impact on your life.
wealth inequality is a meme. Rich people dont have their money in cash hidden somewhere, they have invested, fueling the economy. They also enable lots of amall business catering to luxury and related stuff that would never work if all people were middle class.
>>541658767You’re trolling because no American would disagree with that. Americans aren’t socialists
>>541659105>Wealth inequality has zero impact on your life.Exactly. It's not like they can buy politicians and inflict their will on me. It doesn't affect me at all
>>541658840Why not imprison those making $70k or more?America fought a revolution to kill a king, now we have thousands of kings ruling the world, the $70k+ class
>>541658990>The most accurate number I have is 14 million.From 2018:https://archive.today/WfGgQ>Yale Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates
>>541659182You should be imprisoned for having a single dollar.
>>541659169Ah yes because donating money to politicians to protect you from dogshit socialist policies that will ruin your life is soooo bad! Those damn rich people!
>>541659169That's a stupid excuse for spite. Rich people do not cause political corruption, bad laws do. If politicians being bribed is a problem, change the law to stop bribery. Even if rich people didn't exist, groups of people could pool their money and bribe politicians anyway.Don't try to legislate people richer than you out of existence.
>>541659247And the rich who donate to the politicians support better policies than voters anyway.
>>541658444The market only works as a consensus finding mechanism if the marginal value of a dollar is roughly comparable between individuals. Obviously it will never be exactly equivalent, nor should we try to make it be. But when you can wipe your ass with an amount of money that would change my life, the price discovery machinery that causes resources to be allocated in an optimal way between us breaks down. You become a functional utility monster, with the entire economic machine warped to suit your whims, because you have disproportionate purchasing power.Like if you actually read Adam Smith, the whole argument is that the price mechanism allocates resources and labor optimally because it drives resource allocation to an equilibrium that maximizes utility. If I’d pay more, I want it more, therefore utility is maximized if it goes to me. Rising prices indicates supply is short relative to demand and also incentivizes an increase in supply, allocating input labor and resources to socially desirable locations.Elon Musk has purchasing power that rivals CITIES. Imagine 100,000 people who want something and the economy does what Musk wants instead. That’s the price discovery mechanism experiencing catastrophic failure.
>>541658444Wealth distribution DOES effect how you live though.As wealth (power) is accumulated in fewer hands those hands have more and more of a say in how you live, and they will use said power (because what else will they spend their money on?) to change society as they see fit.Thinking a person having 1000x your wealth doesn't effect you is retarded.
>>541659192I could believe it. But the DHS own data puts it at about 12 mil.So when do the wages improve? Or is it just something people say to get them behind the idea of deportations?
OP says wealth inequality and a horde of jews come out to say hes wrong.
>>541659299Yeah, worse worker protections and immigrants leading to wage stagnation has been great policiesAs was permissive foreign offshoring leading to our industry being sold to ChinaGreat policies the elites have paid for there.
>>541659450>believing in property right means you're jewish>having money because you're jewishPathetic.
>>541659134Lots of capitalists see the problems with wealth inequality.
>>541659471Elites are just tools of the Jews at this point. Idiots with egos who've been convinced they're on the winning team as they sell out their fellows and willingly destroy society.
>>541659040and you think it's unfair when your wife sneaks off to sleep with tyrone but i'm sure you still cry over it, don't you?
>>541659247>You just have to out-bribe the politicians who are being bribed to get rid of bribery.That is such a great solution.
>>541659468Ah yes because skyrocketing GDP and thus your wages with immigration and tech advancements is so bad!The CEOs who moved factories to China are soooooooo stupid, it’s definitely cheaper to build stuff in America. Someone should have told those stupid CEOsWhat we need is Bernie Sanders so he can violate workers’ basic human rights and treat them with zero dignity or humanity. That’s what will build a great country
>>541659378Thanks ChatGPT>>541659400Actual political lobbies don't need billionaires to be effective. AIPAC is basically a million Jews giving $1000 each and it controls American foreign policy. >Thinking a person having 1000x your wealth doesn't effect you is retarded.What really affects me are people who have 0x my wealth. They are who I actually have to worry about day to day because my life is shaped by avoiding retarded violent criminals.It's not the top 1% you need to worry about, it's the bottom 1%.
>>541658583>extreme povertyah yes, earning $1.01/day vs $1.00/day truly means you no longer need to worry about anything!how many people are dying of hunger or preventable diseases, rather than bullshit arbitrarily defined "extreme poverty"
>>541659491ThisThe oligopolies control more and more industries every year. This has led to decidedly uncapitalistic dynamics that have stifled competition.
>>541659548You live in a society where you have to worry about because of the decisions made by the wealthy. The average voter is dumb, and easily influenced by the wealth thrown at them for political ads. You blame the voter, and you're correct. But that's not the source.
>>541659538Even for a canadian you're a retard.
>>541659538>Pro immigration>tfWew! Jeets really are corporate cock suckers.Explain when the wealth starts trickling down then I'll maybe give you the dignity of another reply brown boy.
The wealth is in the hands of people who knew how to get it hundreds of years ago.Leftist political rhetoric is all about using disingenuous moral arguments as to why the descendants of those people need to "share" my wealth. It's grotesque. I'm sorry I'm just... Not prepared to share haha - and if you try to set up systems in society that risk me losing my wealth, I'll eventually see you up against the wall where you'll be punished for your wickedness. Enjoy your weekend, OP.
>>541658380>wealth inequality is by far the largest single issueno, boomers and cunts being kikes is the biggest issue. the reason millennials and zoomers dont have jobs or kids is that boomers and cunts are kikes
>>541659548>Thanks ChatGPTThat’s a nonargument nigger, I’m sorry you’re too illiterate to understand how the market works. Bottom line is it wealth inequality is not just a symptom, it is a cause in its own right. Inequitable distribution of wealth breaks the free market. It would be disastrous news for the free market, except fortunately massive wealth centralization shouldn’t actually happen in a free market.
>>541659641You have a Nazi flag>>541659650I guess your Communism will work anyday now.Oh wait, things are getting noticeably worse and inflation is skyrocketing
>>541659615>You live in a society where you have to worry about because of the decisions made by the wealthy.No, I live in a society where the actual decisions that affect me are made by>boomers whom the politicians are afraid of>violent retarded criminals on welfare whom the police are afraid ofNeither of these groups are billionaires,
>>541659548>What really affects me are people who have 0x my wealth. They are who I actually have to worry about day to day because my life is shaped by avoiding retarded violent criminals.Very true
>>541659657Those people weren't around hundreds of years ago. And business savvy isn't genetic. Nor is wealth easy to generate when you start with nothing. It's easy when you start with something.
>>541659568>how many people are dying of hunger or preventable diseaseFar less people than in previous decades, yet the number of billionaires, and now trillionaire(s), continues to grow.
>>541658478>the super rich... use that wealth and power to advance their own interests at the expense of others.in other words, boomers, xirs, and cunts, are the super rich
>>541658380Stop asking antisemitic questions.
>>541658444spot on accurate op is an envious faggot trying to stir up resentment to give cover to his desire to murder others to steal what they have just like all commies
>>541659491because they're not stupid and understand that no longer pretending to care about working people always ends with the capitalists heads' firmly placed on spikes>>541659569capitalists don't want competition though, why would they?they can earn far FAR more by gaining a monopoly over a captive market and charging the highest price they can get away with ie taking every last penny you have than by competing and having to offer good dealsany capitalist who chooses to earn a smaller profit quickly ceases to be a capitalist>>541659701numbers, if you can? and excluding china since capitalists don't get to claim the success of a socialist state
>>541659695>And business savvy isn't geneticYes it is
it's alright bro trump made 2 billion dollars since the start of this term, he's gonna help us out soon
>>541659734The biggest wealth redistribution in the history of man already occured. All the money went to the top.Which is why you don't give a shit. As long as it doesn't go down to the bottom, it's cool.
>>541659750>they can earn far FAR more by gaining a monopoly over a captive market and charging the highest price they can get away with ie taking every last penny you have than by competing and having to offer good dealsYeah, which they use the state to do>excluding china since capitalists don't get to claim the success of a socialist stateOh, it’s retarded.China is basically “what if Amazon had a national border”, you get that right? A monolithic centrally-planned bureaucracy trying to maximize its own value at the expense of its competitors even as it siphons resources from them. It’s wild to me that anyone would criticize one and not the other.
>>541658380Guys wear girlie clothes because they are poor. They/them hates rich because they have money to wear Man clothes. Now take off your fake boobs and dilating vibrator from ass and smoke a lady-cigarette like a Marlboro man.
>>541659182Lol dude 70k USD isn't that much that's barely higher than the median individual income for full time workers in the US. For age 35-54 it's over 70k. I'm enlisted military and even I make 100k.
>>541659878I’m talking CAD.In Canada if you make over $70k people will try to take you down
>>541659695Your ideas are failing right now
>>541659873ah yes, the marxist-leninst state is clearly capitalistbringing up amazon shows you're almost understanding how capitalism turns into socialism, but you're too integrated into the empire to see that
>>541659976>ah yes, the marxist-leninst state is clearly capitalistIt’s a massive centralized bureaucracy that controls all resources, which it uses to acquire more resources. It’s the definition of capitalism in every way except that its owner says>guise I’m the voice of the worker promise
>>541659664Reminder that when "socialists" (communists) talk about "billionaires" they actually mean "everyone making more money than me", the same way gen alpha uses "boomer" for everyone over 28
>>541658380The issue is money is fake and gay>Tax the richSolves nothing the government gets the money and then wastes it>Don't let the gov spend the money, only pay down their debtDoesn't matter central banks will impose at least a 2% inflation 'tax' that devalues the dollar by about 18% every 10 years. Then they give that money to bankers who are allowed to give out money they don't have anyway.>So stop private banking from being able to print money and make the central bank the only real bankDefinitely a step in the right direction except the world won't allow it. The entire fake debt system is what keeps the lights on because there is no industry and all western countries are essentially currency manipulators>Well what is the solutionUnironically a great reset, with huge barriers for corporate and private loans. The only debt should be mortgages run through a central bank. You also need good tax rates for wealthy into sovereign wealth tied to the central banking. Also expectations of huge capital growth need to be abandoned and 0.5% yearly should be the norm.
>>541658380Wealth inequality is fake and gay. Some people are literally worth more than others, take it or leave it. There is no pretending it isn't real.There is a procedural need for people who are capable of pushing around vast quantities of wealth to create projects. The human brain consumes vast resources and in exchange it leads the body around in useful ways, creating tools and solving problems. High class people perform a similar role in overall society. Low class people do not have the resources to create projects at scale.High class people can be sick or retarded or psychopaths or captured by various evils. When they start doing stupid things, everyone downstream of it suffers as a result. That's why glowniggers like to target and pressure the aristocracy. By capturing one elite, you can leverage them to fuck over thousands of muggles. Just look at the war in Ukraine, a literal clown dictator has already sent millions to their death.
>>541659750>numbers, if you can?>Since 1990, the world has made remarkable progress: the under five mortality rate has fallen by about 60 per cent, and neonatal mortality by 45 per cent, saving millions of young lives. These gains reflect decades of investment in immunization, essential health services, newborn care, nutrition support and the integrated management of childhood illnesses.https://data.unicef.org/resources/levels-and-trends-in-child-mortality-2025/>The global under‑five mortality rate (U5MR) declined to 37.4 deaths per 1000 live births in 2024, less than half its level in 2000. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/child-mortality-under-5-years>and excluding china since capitalists don't get to claim the success of a socialist stateDeng Xiaoping would like a word.

>>541660045Poverty is the indignity of being forced to do without while others have more than they could ever use.
>>541660156Why doesn't this fact make it immediately clear to everyone how wealth inequality can cause problems?
>>541660413There is money that is someone's direct wealth. They can do anything they want with it. There is also money that someone is in stewardship of. Farm land and factories for example are physical things, you can not simply box it and sell it to someone else.Assets can not be so freely abused, at least when you ask a normal person. But under the british financial system all money is green, and there's a billion laundering loopholes and alchemical transmutations and black magic and their only mechanical purpose is for fraud. So it's a huge fucking mess. The very first objective of being a steward of money is to steal it. That's pretty much all financial crime and the collapse of the economy in a nutshell.

It's work to the bone for peanuts, get fucked anyway if any disaster happens, and get milked dry by every single aspect of life anyway. This country sucks and Uncle Ted was right. The industrial system is bending people to it's will, never the other way around. We are doomed.

>>541659378Quality post, but I would argue that price discovery & efficient market hypo. only work in theoretical free markets. As any real market, by definition, cannot truly be considered a free market without regulation, free market theories don't apply to contemporary markets, due to monopolies/monopsonies, legislation/government interference and overregulation. A more important issue with wealth concentration is the reduction in the velocity of M2, plus a change from innovation/growth to preservation of capital (risk vs rent seeking). To reiterate, I denounce the Talmud, fuck jannies, gas the kikes, race war now.
