TRUMP: Best President ever Topic

Out of those three? 2018

Just stumbled in here to add some data:

-Whites collectively hold 88.4 percent of the nation’s wealth. Blacks collectively hold 2.7 percent of the nation’s wealth. Hispanics hold 4 percent of the nation’s wealth.

-Whites’ share of the nation’s wealth is 31 percent greater than their share of the nation’s population. Blacks’ share of the nation’s wealth is 80 percent less than their share of the population.

The justice system doesn't have to be racist. That part of the recipe is already decided long before the law gets involved.

-The top wealthiest 1% possess 40% of the nation’s wealth; the bottom 80% own 7%; similarly, but later, the media reported, the "richest 1 percent in the United States now own more additional income than the bottom 90 percent".[7] The gap between the top 10% and the middle class is over 1,000%; that increases another 1,000% for the top 1%.

To imply in any way that the playing field is level means a person is incredibly ignorant or purposely being untruthful.

Harvard University (MA) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $35,665,743,000 U.S. News rank : 2
Yale University (CT) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $25,413,149,000 U.S. News rank : 3 (tie)
Stanford University (CA) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $22,398,130,000 U.S. News rank : 5 (tie)
Princeton University (NJ) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $21,703,500,000 U.S. News rank : 1
Massachusetts Institute of Technology End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $13,181,515,000 U.S. News rank : 5 (tie)
University of Pennsylvania End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $10,715,364,000 U.S. News rank : 8
Texas A&M University—College Station End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $9,858,672,136 U.S. News rank : 69 (tie)
University of Michigan—Ann Arbor End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $9,600,640,000 U.S. News rank : 28
Columbia University (NY) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $9,041,027,000 U.S. News rank : 5 (tie)
University of Notre Dame (IN) End of fiscal year 2016 endowment: $8,748,266,000

$166 billion held by just ten universities, and black college football players get demonized for smoking weed. So tell us more about this blind and impartial system we live in.

Thanks for the info, but we have been trying to tell them that for a while now and it seems the right on this site has their heads in the sand.

Pretty sure the universities are liberal. I have explained 100x that a two parent system matters. It has nothing to do with skin color. But you just keep fighting stats. Why are you worried about the top 1%? Worry about yourself not about Bill Gates.

I also did not see a solution. Is it wealth distribution? Do tell. Your post is confusing.

Told you. Head in the sand.

Why is it unfair that people invent or make wise investments and get rich? Why should something be done about people being successful? A little jealous are we?
5/12/2018 6:26 PM
When did I say that it was unfair? What's unfair is that they don't pay a high portion of taxes and control a lot of stuff that they shouldn't, like lots of political decisions are swayed towards benefiting the rich.

50%+ of their income isn't enough?
5/12/2018 10:07 PM
What is a fair share in your mind?
5/12/2018 10:08 PM
40%. Right now they pay 33%.
5/12/2018 10:30 PM
Also you could end some loopholes and actually enforce taxes on the rich, right now there are too many ways to get out of it.
5/12/2018 10:39 PM
You do realize that the top 1% pay more in taxes than the bottom 90% combined, right? I'm sure why you have so much hatred and envy of successful people. You basically want them to pay close to half of their income while low income earners take from the government and don't provide anything. It's just stupid. Taxes are designed to fund the government, not to fund poor people. This country is so backwards. How about you start asking them to pay 40% in taxes when you start paying 40% in taxes. Until then, quit making stupid comments like that.

You know what, I agree with you. The poor, poor billionaires are over-taxed! Let's take evenly from the poor. You know what, let's take half of what all poor people own. That's 700 billion dollars. Btw, what happens if you pass Obama's top 1% tax proposal? Oh, you raise 700 billion dollars? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Btw, RICH PEOPLE PAY MORE IN TAXES BECAUSE THEY OWN MORE WEALTH.

But no, the poor, poor billionaires have it rough, while the homless live large. Good riddance.

Keep punishing the ones who have worked hard and taken risks so that they can provide for those who haven't worked as hard and taken as many risks. Great idea, Tang.
