Hmm. Reid’s income is unequal to my own. Let us start with him. Especially since he is one of the prime movers of the middle class “getting squeezed and squeezed” as he merrily pointed out.

How about equality under the Law?

Not likely from whorehouse Harry and the Congress
which only excels in child brothel building.

I absolutely agree, also we can’t do crooked land deals and get away with it either. The problem with all of these socialists is that they never want to apply the rules to themselves.

They’re going to make us all serfs.

And half the country applauds and the other half won’t do anything so as to get along......

has he taken a paycut to the national average income?

Has he proposed that all government officials make the average income?

of course not

You’re right...and then we’ll go on to all the Hollyweird and East Coast lib multi-multi millionaires and billionaires who are so concerned about the “poor and oppressed.” I’m sure they won’t mind giving up oh...say 50% of their total wealth. In fact, let’s put millions of those poor and oppressed in their neighborhoods or backyards. A few section eight housing units would be appropriate as well.

I'm tired of the same old leftist game with ‘inequality’. If the Republicans, FOX, talk radio was on the ball, they would hammer home day after day of how the obama gov’t is oppressing everyone.

The Dems have oppressed the blacks for 60 years. The past decade has given us major erosion of our freedoms, liberties, privacy, and the rule of law. Our Constitution has been all but rendered meaningless. Fascism reigns these days.

When will they be held to account?

Tell us, Harry, what is the correct income distribution?

What is the difference between the following two quotes?:

1.) “ - - -“There is no greater challenge this country has than income inequality. And we must do something about it,” he told a news conference on Capitol Hill.
- - - “

and 2.) “From each, according to his ability, to each, according to his need.”

So, is he willing to share his millions for the cause of income equality?

Harry: I have an idea. How about “From each according to his ability and to each according to his need”. That should work. That would balance things out.

Yes Harry, things have got much worse under you and Obama but we have a fix for it planned for next November elections.

Oh please please let them keep repeating that through the 2014 elections. Let’s put ‘income equality’ in the Liberal platform plank.

Cut back on the intellectual patents and copyrights and severely restrict them in some modest length of time with no retroactive extensions permitted.

I feel that’s a big contributing factor in stifling today’s economic markets.

This is all a ruse to shift the focus away from the obamacare debacle.

“There is no greater challenge this country has than income inequality. And we must do something about it,”

So the few trillion already nabbed from the productive and given to the poor was not something?

Do his figures about income inequality include transfer payments and discount for taxes? If not, then no matter how much you tax from one person and give to another you will never cure it statistically. In fact, if the transfer payments aren't counted poverty will probably be made worse as many of the poor quit working on the books to be able to qualify for welfare while the middle and upper classes have to work harder and harder to keep enough after taxes, at least until they go Galt.

And here I am driving miles to work, when I could be helping the economy by getting fired and collecting unemployment, waiting for someone to offer me a job, paying at least a senator’s salary, for testing mattresses, surfing the web, reviewing TV shows, and writing comments to websites.
