So the top 0.1% of Americans own roughly the same wealth as the bottom 90% of the population. This is all the proof we need that the game is rigged.

Basically 300,000 people own as much wealth as 270,000,000 people.
On average, for every 1000 people, 1 person has as much as 900 people.
I'm sure this is not anything new but an imbalance like this is what has brought our economy to its knees and has to be addressed eventually. It's better if we fix this now before we jump into another painful recession.

If you do some research, as I have, you will notice the tax percentage for the wealthy was far higher before the 1970's. When Ronnie Ray Gun got into office, and especially after Bush family friend Hinckley tried to kill him, that tax rate dropped tremendously. This is a big reason why you see the inequality growing so much and it has gained momentum the longer it has been ignored.
This, paired with the globalist anti-labor stance, has lead to increasingly diminished returns for the labor market; thus pushing those at the middle and bottom down further and further as their wealth of the rich has skyrocketed.

The current "capitalist" system has been designed like this, on purpose, not by accident. It will continue until the 0.1% own 99% of everything inside the USA.
You can stop it by changing the unfair rules - Tax the rich, tax the corporations, punish the corporations for their crimes, stop the corruption and cronyism, purge the corrupt supreme court, stop the Federal Reserve and provide free healthcare and education for everyone.
Make the USA a democracy - the old election system is completely dysfunctional and corrupt.

So make it easier for the majority to rule the minority and it will make America better? Might want to rethink that my friend. The founders created the perfect system...just because WE the people failed to uphold our end doesn't mean we meed to trash the system.
4 Denmark1976 2016-11-21
This part mad me laugh out loud.
No offence my good man, but you are sadly misguided and ignorant, in these matters. The US electoral system was build to facilitate a few 2 million settlers, not 326 million people, solidified into a dysfunctional two party system. It is neither fair nor working as intended, if the intend was anything even remotely related to the phenomenon know as "democracy".
It is in effect a two party dictatorship, controlled by a very small elite.
1 penisbabyfood 2016-11-21
America isnt and will never be a "democracy" thats where you are confused. America is a Republic and it only works when people give a shit. People like you crack me up with this stuff when you say "it was only meant" whenever or back then. No it was meant to last forever and they even said so but it will fail if the people dont pay attention and thats exactly what happened. The people stopped paying attention and whats worse is the "educated liberals" want more govt intervention, they want dependency not freedom. Don't confuse your lack of knowledge to my "ignorance". Yes its controlled by a small elite but again thats OUR fault. Trump winning against the wall street/media backed/establishment nominee in Hillary Clinton proved when the people are pissed off enough we can still have what we want. Thats what Trump winning the election showed me.
1 Denmark1976 2016-11-21
You are blaming the dysfunctional system on the people. You would rather call the majority of US citizens dumb, uncaring and ignorant, than solve the underlying problem. It is disgraceful.
Trump is the result of a string of failed economic policies, negatively effecting the middle class and the poor (the dumb people), who hasn't had a single pay raise in 35 years, or seen justice to the criminality on Wall Street and Washington DC.
You are hysterical and blind, a bad combination, the USA need calm wisdom and insight more than ever. Be cool my friend, not angry, it doesn't take you anywhere.
I am not a Trump supporter, never was and never will be, for as long as I live. Clinton is crony, corrupt and criminal - And I am only using these words because I am being very very polite.
Edited the wording and added a few things
1 penisbabyfood 2016-11-21
I never said the majority of Americans dumb or ignorant/ look at what Iceland did when their bankers came after them...now look at how we handled it. Thats my problem
Is wall street and dc corrupt? Absolutely but they have been doing it for decades...the only difference is in the past we put a stop to it. They just rebrand stuff and come back at us.
How do you figure i am hysterical and blind? I am not angry so wrong again i am actually in a really good mood.
Also never said you were a Trump supporter
If you didn't assume so much we could probably have a decent conversation
Being poor sucks trust me i know because i came from a poor inner city family. We have obese poor people...think about that for a minute...our poor have brand new iphones and internet.
Our poor and middle class have it alot better than the majority of the world. They would have it better if they would aim their hate where it belongs as opposed to middle class white people and cops.

I get it though, its far easier to blame the boogey man few instead of the people who hold the real power. Spoken like a true millennial.
5 DabbinDiego 2016-11-21
That's the conspiracy behind capitalism, people say only "crony capitalism" leads to severe inequalities, when in actuality the system is designed to run that way. To give more power to those who can hoard wealth and game the system, then allows those to solidify their power with the wealth. We need democracy in all matters of life, not just government.

You're confused and conflating things.. Who issues the monies?.. So.. How do we fix this, because you seem schizophrenic, with your answers...
2 OnansElbow 2016-11-21
Well if the Govt. is in the pockets of big business instead of putting the people first its all pie in the sky.
As it is they are putting you in an unwinnable position.

You haven't answered any of my questions, and cannot even come up with a coherent argument... How do you fix this? Simple question, that you cannot answer, yet, you spout stupid bullshit.. You said end the FED, but we need a FED. Either you're ignorant, confused, or schizophrenic. There is enough here (with what you said and what I said). You are failing miserably... I'll ask this once again, how do you fix this?
I don't waste my time, but am asking you. Fail again, then I'm out (better things to do)...
You wanna join the adults? Here is your chance...

The US managed without a Fed before 1913 when it was created.
Perhaps watch the video linked above.
Have a nice day.
0 Putin_loves_cats 2016-11-21
FED or Federal Government? FED is a bank,Federal government implements, establishes and enforces laws.... Sounds to me like you haven't watched the video above, or done a bit of your own research to back up your words. You entered the wrong fight, with the wrong person (or maybe the right person). Explain your shit, and I will eat your thoughts alive and tell you how wrong and ignorant you are. Thanks for coming, come again...
2 OnansElbow 2016-11-21
lol u r funny.
If you had a clue you would know that 1913 was when the federal reserve bank was formed. Unless you think the U.S. was formed then...lol.
Have fun in "special school" today.
We're all rooting for you.

I know all about 1913, the FED and Jekyll Island. What do you know about the Treaty of Paris? See, you are projecting, when someone far more intelligent than you, makes you question and think... Now. How do you fix it? I'm still waiting...

I'm a bit "out there" with my solution only because of a spiritual awakening I had this year. I now understand money to be a Pandora's box that has brought oceans of turmoil into our lives and so my solution would be to generate wealth without using money or trade. Basically, I found a model that matches what I imagined and it's called Sacred Economics.
Right now money acts like a mental beam that forces people to do all kinds of things and this beam is controlled by the elite who hold all of that money. The access to money has been denied for the most part outside of bare bone necessities so that people can at least eat.
The problem is the money is way to easy to manipulate.
I don't expect anyone to understand this, but I have lost faith in the application of dollar bills. I just don't think it will ever work outside of the short run.
4 Putin_loves_cats 2016-11-21
Yeah, I know you push "sacred economics" and it's bullshit, imo. What is "money" to you? You are being fed a false utopia. What is "money" to you? Do you know "money" and "currency" are different?
1 Mon_oueil 2016-11-21
The simple answer is bitcoin. Since bitcoin is limited by pure energy it will always be in limited supply. And since their are no real benefits of scale given the needed input their producrion can be decentralised.
In this way bitcoins act as pure condensed energy.
If you imagine everyone having solar on their roof you might see where im going with this.
Then the rent becomes the same as the increase of value in bitcoin over time which comes directly down to the cost of solar energy at that time as well as the demand for money. If demand for money falls the rent will rise till all needs for money are met.

1 Mon_oueil 2016-11-21
In many other historic countries this has been solved by weakening the might of "legal" persons to improve the rights of the real persons instead. This can be achieved legally in many countries but in other countries violent uprising might be the only recourse.
The laws that would need to be changed are often related to land ownership, inheritance and taxation as these are the foundational basis of all wealth in a nation.
The legal persons are normally the military/state, the church, or large estates. A new example is the imperial of such legal person is the charter company.
In the western tradition the classic examples of solutions have been are violent revolt against the instituitions that these legal persons represent.
The traditional enemies of these revolts have always been The roman church, the royal houses of europe, the estates of the aristocracy.
In the colonies these revolts where often over foreign charter companies owned by these instituitions.
So in essence. Corporations are not people, and neither are churches, or foundations.
Because if we treat these illusionary beings as real, they will capture the hearts and minds of people in order to amass more wealth.

I believe that the main cause of inequality is taxation.
If we eliminate all taxes, that provides a level playing field of fairness.
Taxation gives an unfair advantage to those who can avoid them, which is the rich.
0 InfiniteRelease 2016-11-21
Inequality of outcome may suggest injustice, warranting further investigation, but it is by no means proof.
I'm not saying the economy isn't rigged, but I am saying this type of thinking is deeply flawed.
If you want proof then you need to look at how the 0.1% made their money and then establish whether or not this method is available to the able and willing.

But people everyday have their fortunes made because they come up with an idea or a product that people want to pay money for. The 1% isn't some sort of club, with a fixed list if people. People drift in and out all the time. Upward mobility is very possible in the country; the most, in fact, of any country in the world.
Are there evil people in the 1%? Absolutely, just read this sub.
Does being in the 1% mean you're an evil person? No.
1 YoureAllRobots 2016-11-21
Yeah they used to, and even then it was questionable given the number of military brats that turned out to be rockstars and successful businesspeople. I used to buy that idea that anyone can make it in America too, but you are being sold snake oil. You do not understand how the people at the top have spent decades squashing the little guy, creating laws to stifle competition and generally working together to ensure you don't get to the top with them.
You are an abject fool if you do not understand that. I won't even write my books because I know some NSA stooge will steal it and hand it to someone else. Don't believe me? Go look at where the Matrix came from. Some lady wrote it, made next to nothing on it, those rich kid weirdos steal it and make a billion dollars.
