The US has the income equality of a third world country, why?

EntropyWins · 2011-09-12 07:52:15

According to the gini index (http://mapscroll.blogspot.com/2009/04/is-us-becoming-third-world-country.html). The only explanation I can come up with for this is that the lazy people at the bottom 50% of the income bracket are not working hard enough to keep up with the mega-rich.The only alternative would be that the rich have used the government to pass policies favoring them over the last 30 years causing more and more wealth to be concentrated with the highest income brackets. We know that can't be the case, right? Now the president is declaring C lass warfare on the rich and pushing his communist agenda by punishing people for being successful. What do you think about this?

Lol at the logic of this pic. I know a few people who have degrees and can't even get a job in what they are major in. They are still working in fast food stuff.

degrees in what? a degree is not a set for life contract, nor does it make you useful

The type of degree doesn't matter because the premises is if one works hard they can be whatever they want. Clearly, that's not true. The cartoon doesn't say "If you have the right degree you can be whatever you want." It merely says if you "work hard". And that is what he was pointing out. Working hard is not an end all to being happy and doing what you want to do in life. There are many factors involved.

the cartoon is not true depicition of reality in any sense.

you can work your ass off being a phillosiphor, become an historical one, and still be a flee ridden bumb Diogenes proved that. just because youre good at something and work hard at it does not mean you will be rich, it just means you are good at that thing.... "i want to be a great artist and i am going to work hard doing it" ok you may well become a great artist, that does not mean you will be rich and one does not need to be employed in a trade to be successful in that trade, that is the whole point of being an entrepreneur. you are making too many unrelated assumptions to try to disprove this authors critique of past and present attitudes.
