They asked my race. I told them and they told me they wouldn't accept my case.

The comments you hear about the upper class paying only 15% are false. They are under the same tax bracket system. The mystical 15% number comes from dividends. So if you increase those taxes, you are now increasing everyone's taxes on things like stocks, which many middle class have retirements attached to. We also have the highest corporate tax in the world.


The upper class pay their share, it's true... the 6 figure people

NOT THE RICH..

Any white men question my call to the NAACP, call em.
I told them I was a white nationalist.
Even turning them down is discrimination.
Don't expect Holder to spank em.

So, AA is not using our tax dollars?

Key phrase, Federal Agency.

Federal agency charged with enforcing affirmative-action programs has agreed to improve its procedures in order to increase the number of women and members of minority groups in federally assisted construction projects in New York City.


yes, there are AGENCIES which oversee the LAWS

we don't fund the LAW, we fund the AGENCIES,,lol





Still don't know what a law is, do you little puppy?

first of all, the OP can get back to me when he's 45 and has had some actual EXPERIENCE in the working world...including supporting himself for a decade or two.

There is definitely a growing gap in this country between the very rich and the middle class with the middle class shrinking. That is not a good sign overall, for a developed nation's economy.

My opinion is that a large part of the problem is that the middle class by and large supports the government and the poor because we are over taxed. While corporations and the very wealthy pay less than their fair share via legal manuvering that they can afford. Everyone knows this happens but no one had the cajones to do anything about it.

This intentionally pits the middle class against the poor when actually we should be united in demanding that corporations and the wealthy (and ALL gove't employees) pay their fair share.

I've got plenty of experience.
It's called knowledge. You don't have to be ancient to know.
Knowledge makes up for experience.
That's all you need. Years mean absolutely nothing other than time.
By the time I'm 45 I'll be a Scrooge.

Having no experience only gets you so far. Knowledge doesn't completely make up for experience, but it will get you started.

NAACP gets trillions.
They are,as their name proclaims, for the advancement of colored people.

Klan gets 0 dollars to advance the lives of the rest of us.

Kinda discriminating,no?


You want the klan to advance your life for you?

http://www.mises.org/daily/6604/The-State-Causes-the-Poverty-It-Later-Claims-to-Solve

Conclusion

The reigning paper money system is at the center of the growing income inequality and expanding poverty rates we find in many countries today. Nevertheless, states continue to grow in power in the name of taming the market system that has supposedly caused the impoverishment actually caused by the state and its allies.

If those who claim to speak for social justice do nothing to protest this, their silence can only have two possible reasons. They either don't understand how our monetary system functions, in which case, they should do their research and learn about it; or they do understand it and are cynically ignoring a major source of poverty because they may in fact be benefiting from the paper money system themselves.


Didn't have the time right now to read the whole article, but from a speed read, bookmarked for a later review. Very interesting material.

But your analogy is right on, before 1913 and the sellout by Wilson to the bankers, this was the most prosperous nation in all of history. Since then inflation, a hidden tax, has eroded the dollar by $0.98. Yes, back at the turn of the 20th century, 2 cents would buy what a dollar would today.

And if you really look at the minimum wage, it is one of the worse things that has happened to this nation. Raising the minimum wage does nothing for the person working for minimum wage but damage. Initially, marginal jobs are discarded and those remaining have to work harder until a machine can take their place. Over time, everything goes up to a degree that the real gain is actually negative, costing more for those same goods and services in access of the gain.

Some day people will again figure out what makes the world go round. Just a small hint, consumerism is not it. That is how we got where we are.

I do believe it is important to realize that "minimum wages was never, nor should it ever be, intended to be a living, sustainable, wage. Basically it's intended for high school students who are looking to gain some work experience, and make a little play money.


oh, I know that, but unfortunately, too many adults don't have options that provide much more than minimum wage in return for their work,,,

unless they have access to other resources to sustain them while they obtain training/education or build networks,,, they are kind of screwed


Perhaps this should be our focus then. Instead of increasing minimum wage to a living wage or $12 or so dollars an hour, which would undoubtedly double the price of everything thereby defeating its own purpose. Not saying that's what you are advocating, but it seems many want minimum wage to increase as a solution to our current financial problems.

Maybe we need to focus on why good paying jobs are leaving, and why education and training cost so much money...


Oh, you ain't see nothing yet, wait for TPP.
