    One example of redistribution of wealth through taxes is healthcare, just an FYI. I doubt he meant socialism but I did not read the article I must admit.

    We haven’t. You said Stalin was one...how is trump anything like that? Does he control the means of production? Has he even attempted? Nope that was obama and the auto industry.

    Trump attacks the media just like stalin did. He uses the exact same term for them as stalin did. Enemy of the people.

    Obama attacked the press...he actually had his admin wiretap the AP. Trump just doesn’t like them, and says things. Huge difference between words and actions. Obama is actual fascist....acting just like Stalin. There you go. Glad we established that the Dems are fascist

    Trump wants to build a Berlin wall like stalin.

    Trump is a fascist.

    Trump attacks minorities like stalin

    Trump is a fascist.


    Maybe it would be better just to call trump a stalinist?

    That moment you demonstrate you don't understand fascism or communism, or Trump.

    LW Brookings finds that poor people in the U.S. need to do only THREE THINGS to have a 75% chance of joining the middle class, and a greater than 90% chance of escaping poverty:

    1. Don't drop out of HS
    2. Don't have children before marriage and before they can be afforded.
    3. Get a fulltime job and keep working fulltime.

    https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/...teens-should-follow-to-join-the-middle-class/

    And due to the fact that two of these are so simple even a lawnchair could do them, there go all the LW LIE NARRATIVES on "shrinking middle class," "social mobility," "generational poverty," etc. right out the F-ing window.

    But there's more, ALL LW lie narratives on "poverty in the U.S." omit one piece of absolutely necessary context, "the poor," and "the rich," other than a core of bad actors, are the EXACT SAME PEOPLE, just at different points in time. Most teenagers in the U.S. start out "poor" and become middle class or even wealthy entirely due to working and aging. The LW Complex, in all its toxic, divisive, resentment-fueling narratives does everything in its power to conceal this basic, essential fact of "rich and poor" in the U.S.

    Poverty in the U.S. is overwhelmingly a CHOICE, not a systemic failure, not some involuntary, static condition of being. Full stop.

    To the actual topic, a huge chunk of NYC wealth is in real estate inhabited by people employed in a financial industry that is no longer chained to this or that physical location via brick and mortar necessities of the past. There is no longer any compelling reason whatsoever for the gigantic financial companies and all the supporting white collar businesses to remain in an abusive tax regime. DeBlasio's may want to rethink his socialist rantings in that context.

    Stalin didn’t build the Berlin Wall and trump doesn’t want to build one...trump merely wants funding for a 2006 border security law obama voted for

    No he doesn’t...you however call African Americans, lumps of coal...you clearly are just like Stalin...I can only assume it’s becauae if your party.

    Trump does not want to control the means of production like Stalin and other socialist.

    He is a little over weight...but we judge people by their actions not how they look. That’s what Facisrt do. Thanks for the reminder.

    Obama conducted the great purge of generals...much like Stalin’s purges

    I think anyone will say trump has purged a lot of high level staff. He is a megalomaniac that way.

    Just like stalin

    The only way to fix it is to cut freebies for the moochers.

    Then they will get out and work, and have to make responsible decisions.

    We are currently subsidizing bad decisions.
