You are deflecting from valid push back on the wrong headed notion that the moral character of an individual can be judged based on their bank account by ranting about Republicans. It's really not that hard. You can judge the moral character of neither the poor, nor the rich, nor all the gradations in between, by their bank account balance. How about instead of deflecting you say, you know what, it is wrong when people demonize the poor as having an intrinsic moral insufficiency, and it is wrong to demonize the rich has having an intrinsic moral insufficiency. Instead, you see pigs rolling around in the slop and think that the only way to compete is to jump in the mud with them.  Maybe you are right.  Good luck with that. 

You think that our political system can be saved if some of us just choose to fight by Marquess of Queensberry rules.....while the opposition uses knives, guns, and clubs.  All that leads to is the "fair fighters" getting slaughtered.  Which is exactly what has happened.

So, we have only two options before us -- and they tell us that your wish of "Good luck" is a pipe dream.  1) Fight back the same way.  Result: the Republic has gone down a path that can't be fixed.  2) Don't fight back.  Result: the Republic has gone down a path that can't be fixed.

The singular wrong committed in the past decades has been the dedicated effort by the right to dispose of all norms, rules, the rule of law, etc.  The ends justify the means, period.  That departure from any sense of process, rules, and order, means that we've already lost, and we can't win it back.

So, you can preach the virtues of just sitting back and take it.  Fuck that.  I say we go down fighting.

[Bama Chick 28,596]

I'll just ask, how can we have a meaningful conversation if the other side does nothing BUT that?  We're toast.  Poor people are fucked, because they'll be relentlessly demonized, and any counterattack will be attacked by "well meaning folks" like you.  Which is EXACTLY how the GOP wants it.  You're a useful idiot.

I mean, that behavior towards poor people is happening in real time right in this thread.

Dog whistle or not, this is largely true. “Poor” people all over America prioritize filling their house with shit from WalMart, rather than saving. “Poor” people all over America prioritize their next oxy fix over life. “Poor” people in America prioritize watching cable after work in lieu of hitting the local cc to try and get ahead.

Who’s had more influence on the world? The billionaire pays more to society thru taxes than a poor person in 10 lifetimes.

It’s pretty obvious there is a large subset of our population that needs help, some of them a lot. We can agree on that?  We just disagree where the money should come from.  And whether it should be forced giving, or given thru organizations solely created for that purpose.

This isn't a binary issue, pointing out the irrationality of some of the arguments being made here doesn't necessitate the defense of billionaires. Just because you are succumbing to populist demagoguery doesn't invalidate the basic principles of reason and logic.

There are no countries that can have private charities of our size because of one simple reason, they do not have capital markets like we do. Look at the top 10 companies of US and then compare them to the ones in Europe, Asia etc. Most of our companies are around a generation old or younger, almost all of their companies are over a 100 years old. Which also means that wealth stays in the same place which isn't the case in the US. That growth allows for different people to become successful and create private charities of size that we see. Europe does not offer that, neither does Asia. 

Yes, we have bigger philanthropic outfits because we have alarmingly high wealth inequality.

This wasn't the question at all, and you know that because the answer invalidates your idiotic beliefs.

This is factually incorrect.

There are 12 million full-time American workers who are in poverty.

They have jobs. They are still poor. And they are trying to care for networks of children and elderly.

I know you like this Republican hate narrative and I know it makes you feel good about yourself, but facts don't care about your feelings.

Quote

This country obviously needs to be reminded that most of the billionaires are billionaires because they are extremely intelligent and other worldly determined.  

Again, factually incorrect.

But even if it were true, which it's not, are intelligence and determination good reasons to allow exploitative piles of useless wealth while millions suffer? Are intelligence and determination measurable things that we can prove exist in a higher amount in these people?

Of those who worked their way to billions, how did they actually start? Like Elon Musk using endless family investments from his wealthy family to buy his way into things he didn't actually create? Like Zuckerberg starting with every imaginable privilege?

Are people, like Buffett, who are obsessed with money from an early age superior people who qualitatively deserve billions?

Are people, like Gates, who are corrupt, monopolistic, secretive, and vindictive superior people who qualitatively deserve billions?

Bigger question: Why is your rhetoric so furiously emotional?

The  below is appropriate for this discussion. Opportunity is what makes America, America, but it isn't and has never been equally available. We should strive,though, to make it available to all. Also, you can debate equality of opportunity versus outcome but the truth is there's not much difference. No one chooses to be poor.

Her ideology, and she explains this often, is the biggest roadblock to getting anything done (on healthcare, guns, climate, student loan debt) is the subversive money that has compromised our democracy.  You can’t approach single payer healthcare with much hope of success until you unfuck the rigged system.  That’s why her priority is getting rid of the self dealing, lobbyists, and filibuster first followed by the wealth tax to fund universal children, student loan debt relief, public education, and healthcare second.

Yes, she handled it perfectly by seeming agitated by and dismissive of the question, then trying to get the fuck out of there ASAP.  Perfection.

Can Warren change? It may take some introspection that she may not have yet done, but I would like to think she can. Going way back in time, she was a product of the Norman/OKC schools which were segregated for long after the Civil Rights Act, both de jure and de facto IIRC. While she may be familiar with having a low socioeconomic status, the problems unique to minorities are something to which she needs more exposure. I'm sure I do. I have been fighting for balanced public schools for a number of years, and the pushback is intense. In many areas our public schools are more segregated than they were in the 1970's.

I think when you have a weakness, you should own it but in politics, I don't know if that works. I'm not as savvy with regards to strategy so I don't know if something like that (lack of knowledge/awareness) is perceived as a fatal flaw.
