FDR taxed the rich heavily in order to rebuild the middle class and created massive amounts of jobs in order to FIX wealth income inequality.  Have 10% of the country own over 90% of the wealth is just nowhere close to ideal and its even worse today.  For the first time since the Great Depression, 1% own more than they did the year before the Great Depression.  It'll happen again mate. 

And what ya mean about the wealth not going to the rich.  Where else do you think it went? 

Absolutely insane. And something a lot of liberal (hate labeling) need to understand is that wealthy people need to be taxed hard, not the people who fall into a high tax bracket.  They should not be taxed the same in each case.  Tax old money more, and new money less. 

Of course I hate how so many jobs require degrees, especially the tech field.  I had to goto a Uni for 4 years to get my degree in computer science and the school cost WAY WAY WAY too much for how much I learned.  Most I learned outside of school.  But thats how it is cuz capitalism!  Public schools wouldn't be straight up free unders Sanders, but it would be highly affordable.  It is better for the country in the long run to have people educated so in the future the majority know what a joke these Republican candidates and Hillary Clinton are. Oh, and so they can actually compete in jobs on the international level.

Trade schools are often looked down upon as a failure to get into college (prestige and all that) by many and that is sad imo.  Just like bafoons saying Min. wage jobs are for high scoolers. 
Corporations paying for goverment campaigns is about the most stupid idea I've ever seen.  Crazy it is allowed to happen and only one person running atm who fully agrees with me on that. 



Whats funny is Trump talks about none of this, just bashes people and rants on terrorist and people like him, idiots. 


You literally ignored everything I said against Sander's main planks, and reply with "Income disparity hardy har har."  You also completely ignore the reality of how economics even work....

The super rich put their money somewhere -- either in savings, or in purchases. They DO NOT put it in the mythical cardboard box. These purchases spawn the economic fallout of jobs. These savings are actually partial ownership/ investment in companies/mortgages/ loans that again create jobs.

That "infographic" you posted doesn't take into account that the overwhelming majority of wealth is in ownership of companies/stocks/funds/etc. It is NOT liquid assets. It is not imaginary currency just sitting in a bank account.




Oh wow trickle down economics, such a new and well functioning concept
