    This is a good thing. It will make all those lazy poor people get off their asses, get a good education and good jobs. Then we can keep importing immigrants to do the shit jobs. It'll be a new paradise.

    I you think it's going to go away, you're seriously deluding yourself. Exactly what degree of income inequality do you think is right? India's?

    As you of course know, once all those people become qualified for the "good jobs," those jobs won't be good anymore because the reaganomics system * deliberately * defines "good" jobs as those that require * scarce * talent. The game is rigged, my friends.

    Which is why the lesser jobs ($12,15/hr) require a uni-education already.

    Income inequality is irrelevant. Equality of opportunity is what matters.

    I never said it was a good or a bad thing. I said the rich-poor gap doesn't matter...

    But, really, instead of starting a thread of that very same subject every week, why don't start only ONE in the debaters category and write everything in that thread ? It's an eternal re-beginning.

    The usual delusion. Do poor people really have equality of opportunity? Does the average middle class family compared to the people who run the country and Wall street? Do you?

    And it's illusory. Even sidestepping the question of whether or not minorities have the same opportinities as white males, either it means that 99% of the population are shiftless fucking layabouts who can't be arsed to do anything to better themselves and only 1% give a rat's, or that there's something other than effort at play.

    Tons of people who were very poor when they were young are now millionaires. It's IRRELEVANT. What's relevant is an easy entry to the market, less regulations that favor the corrupts and less bureaucracy.

    Anyway, no matter what we say to show you the truth, you will still believe in what you made out in your mind. So that's also irrelevant to argue :lol:

    Indeed. Just so long as the leftists appreciate that they'll get shot if they ever try to implement their Utopian fantasies then things will be fine.

    I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
