For starters, he said, you tax the richest more than they’re paying now. Said Grantham: “We have actually made the tax structure friendlier to the top 10%.” Grantham contends that income inequality at these levels takes a real toll on ordinary workers and society as a whole. To bridge this gap and give average workers a bigger slice of the pie, Grantham advocates investing in education, training, and to “change the tax structure to make it equitable.”

Nice find. /s

Especially worrisome to Grantham is the gulf between wage earners in the U.S. The top 10% of U.S. workers currently receive about half of the nation’s total income, with half of that going to the top 1%.

This is the rallying cry for the whole class struggle paradigm. This time coming from a 'compassionate' bear arbitrageur. And I'm sure there are stats that back this up. But where are the stats that show how we live in a society that lives for today, the bucket list. We all wanna go to Disney without first winning the Superbowl. No one saves for their future. Then they expect some idealized nanny state to clean up after them.

“If the average person is in a pickle, how do you have a healthy economy?”

Well, you don’t. And the more government sticks it to we Taxpayers, the more we’ll hunker down. I’m hiding assets already, but trust me, they ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet!

Jack@sses.
