Living within your means........

At this rate, we might solve the drug cost problem in fifty years.

The real median wage in 7.5% higher than it was in 1979 while real GDP per capita has doubled.

Take me. In retirement, I don't collect Social Security or use Medicare. My wife and I live part of the time in Canada, and travel the world a couple of months a year. There are plenty of days I make more off my investments than a full-time worker makes in a year.

How much longer will workers put up with this s--t? Why do you turkeys like Sanders and Trump have traction with voters?

 

Oh, please.

 

Apologies @Bluesguy. It should have read:

"How much longer will workers put up with this s--t? Why do turkeys like Sanders and Trump have traction with voters?"​

 

Sorry man. Your history on not understanding derivatives and mark to market while claiming to be an economist and investor make it really hard for me to take you seriously. No offense. I just can’t seriously consider ideas from people who don’t care about accuracy in information.

 

Stop with your BS. Have a nice day.

 

You had your chance. I’m not the one posting BS. I posted facts, you posted incorrect information.

 

Okay. Have a lousy day, but stop telling whoppers.

 

Being called a liar for presenting irrefutable facts makes my day. It was a good day before, now it’s great.

 

Sure, stop telling whoppers and have a nice day.

 

No, just a fact that irritates the part of you that is forced to briefly acknowledge reality.

 

Corporations spend a lot of money convincing naïve, weak people to spend on crap the don't need. You're the one living in la-la land.

 

Maybe they could be not weak and not naive.

That would mean taking responsibility for yourself though.

Can't have that.

 

Maybe you should divest yourself of all your wealth by paying your fair share.
BTW, bragging doesn't impress anyone here as most of us are very, very rich conservative Republicans.

 

At the very least share, info on getting so rich...inquiring minds want to know.

 

That would be nice, especially since I spent a fair bit of personal energy over several decades street proofing high school students and adults I taught against blowing their money on junk. That "personal energy" went into gathering information for students not supplied teachers by the school system.

Do you really think business wants consumers to act like rational human beings?

 

I think I should have to pay higher taxes. Don't you? On the other hand, I'm not going to voluntarily give up my income and wealth.

You running your mouth about my life is noted.

Then shame on "very, very rich conservative Republicans" for not being willing to share.

 

Then why don't you?

You can send as much to the treasury as you'd like. Your owed tax is a minimum amount, not a maximum.

Hilarious that you pointed out what we already know about the left though.

"I'm not going to voluntarily give up my income and wealth, but you should be forced to."

 

That must pay very well I guess.

I don't care what businesses want. I make my own decisions.

Maybe people should try that and you should stop with the victim olympics.

 

1. You are running your mouth about yourself. I am just supporting your bragging with a logical question.
2. Love the hypocrisy about not willing to share the wealth. Classic leftie dynamics. Do as I say, not as I do.
You must be a Komrad Bernie supporter. That raving prick has the exact same platform.

 

I'm not a leftwinger, but you knew that.

We won't have support for the capitalist system if we don't respect the working clasd people.

 

LoL sure.

What is respecting the working class people more than making them the wealthiest working class in the world?

 

There you go again. Didn't your parents give you a talk on manners?

I said we should raise taxes on those with higher incomes, including me.

Your attitude toward the disappearing middle class is the sort of indifference that will could bring about the socialism you decry.

 

The working class in Canada is better off than our own. Didn't used to be that way, but it is now.

 

False.

If the poor in the US were a country, they'd have a higher standard of living than Canada.

So what?

Are you really clueless enough that you think a teacher who went out of his way to get people to handle money responsibly is playing "victim olympics?" You must be a Trumper.
