FUBO!!
“Do the rich deserve what they get? “

Yeh, eventually, like the rest of...us...
LOL
Another "intellectual", with a Doctorate in "social welfare". Where could this person get a REAL job? IF it were not for political correctness and race-baiting, he'd be un-employed.....
... in other words, a communist.
No matter what we as a society can do, the notion that some poverty-free utopia can exist on Earth is folly.
Tell ya what...everybody on FR send me $100 and I’ll get back to you all with my findings.....:)
“My point is, the social ills that are the result of having a low income are not because other people have more,” he says. “It’s because those at the bottom don’t have enough income. The resource pie is not fixed.”
Its about envy and greed - wanting something that someone else worked for.
I live in what the government calls “poverty” and I have everything I need. Home with AC, cars, Mp3 player, computer, internet, cable TV.
Good grief - I don’t want money from someone else - I have too much pride and independence.
I do not want to be beholden to anyone.
Here's another way of thinking about what they deserve: In 1980, the average CEO earned around 42 times what the average worker earned. Today, the average CEO earns over 400 times that.
Now are you going to make the argument that today's CEO is 10 times better than the average CEO in the past? I don't think so. We have been rewarding only the top end. So basically all the economic gains over the last 30 years have been concentrated at the top 20 percent and really the top five and one percent of household incomes. There's a really skewed picture. It goes against the sense of America's strength being a strong middle class. What we're doing is hollowing out the middle class.
One could ask the question: Has rewarding the upper management to such an extent produced greater wealth for the nation in a proportional ratio?
Some will say yes. Some say no. While thinking about it remember - you can blame the government but show me where the captains of industry and corporations have united to fight government's overbearance and taxation?
Instead those same people give to both sides of the aisle attempting to buy exemptions.
When will all of these supposedly conservative boards of corporations stand and say, "Enough. We can't compete carrying the weight of regulations and taxes. Either stop it or we all leave."
I’m sure this professor of “social justice” makes 4 times more than the average American.
Let’s take his “wealth” and redistribute it.
And what in blazes is a professor of “social justice?”
Is that the name of the last person who exits the circus clown car?
It’s way past time to fire dopes like this. If universities don’t have the brains to stop giving useless degrees to chowderheads, then it’s time to shut down the entire university and start over.
Hmmmm. I think this is MORE than offset by the Attorney General of the United States identifying a specific ethnic group as "his people".
Yeah, the rich have a certain amount of access and influence due to their money and position, but the AG's "people" have power at the point of government guns. The parasite class have the power to rob the rich of more and more "tax" money, and have the AG's hired guns (also paid for by the "rich")to take it.
Holder has got to go.
Envy - the Democrat Party’s best friend.
Fixed it. And the answer is 'yes'.
Check out the video posted on FR yesterday.
Protester To Tea Partier: “Why Do You Have A Right To Your Money?”(EPIC VIDEO)

A few years ago, Limbaugh defined the rich (by the RATS definition) as; “...anyone one who makes $1.00 a year more than you..”
bttt
I feel like I just drank a 1 gallon jug of Carbonated Smarm.
I don't understand the question.
“Its about envy and greed”....and Government Control.
Among the most unhappy people are those who inherited their money and so they never had to contribute to society or work for anything. That might seem like paradise to some but it destroys your self-worth as a person and leads to self-destructive behavior.
Among the happiest people in our society are those who started with practically nothing and earned through their own merit and efforts a wealthier position in society. Nothing can top the high of personal achievement.
Really?
All nice words to conceal COMMUNISM!
