I really don't think the Libertarian party has the interest of most Americans at heart, and from what I've seen most people attending tea parties are wasps.
I think this past election most people in America were so fed up with the rich get richer and the poor get poorer policy of the previous eight years that if only third parties were in the election, then the communist or a true socialist party would still have won. |
Once again. Not what happened. Bush... best president at maintaining the Gini Coefficent since WW2.
Clinton, Bush Senior, Reagan, Kennedy etc... all had bigger "Rich get rich" policys. It'd be nice if you stopped lieing.
Bush is one of my least favorite presidents. But outright lieing to help your political point is unconsionable.

I'm not lieing. Obama himself said he plans to redistribute a percentage of the wealth of those making over $250,000.00 to benefit those making under $250,000.00 a year. And, I'm all for that plan.

Bush didn't have a "rich get richer" policy. Under him the gini policy didn't really move. His policy created a "The rich and poor stay where they are."
He was better then Clionton and others who also had plans such as Obamas. The trick is.. they never work out that way.
Taxes have done nothing but gotten more progressive since WW2 yet the gini coeefficent rises. Do you know why?
|
Exactly and such a policy really enabled the majority of poor people to have the opportunity to rise up and become wealthy didn't it?
|
The majority of the poor will never have an oppurtunity to rise up and become weathly... in any administration in any government. Because you can't have a country of nothing but rich people.
Well you can... the US is one such country... but people will always judge their wealth within their country.
Everyone has the possibility of becoming rich... any person can become rich... who doesn't have some sort of mental illness. Is it easier for some then others? Sure. But anyone does have that chance.
I'd bet the Gini Coefficent rises higher under Obama then it does Bush.
Tax policy really has little to do with it.
