You keep being wrong and jumping to diff ideas and points.

And making up stuff. Where did i say you should add debt?

Your saying that money does not go into banks but trillions of it are, offshore, parked not earning interest. But we all know interest gets earned on it. Compounding interest is an easy way of making a good return. Super annunciation funds use it to great effect.

Money goes where its put. Because its an artificial thing. The more disposable income people have the more that gets moved around.Money moving around creates jobs. Jobs create a larger tax base and more money moving around.
You are taking disposable income from one group of people and giving it to another group of people and expecting growth. You just moved it around.

Again, businesses create value, redistribution does not. The faster the money goes around the more money the government takes in in taxes, and they like that alot.

Do us all a favor and take a class in economics and/or find some way to actually educate yourself to the fundamentals. You're so disjointedly wrong on so many levels it's like playing whack a mole, with no better results.

The money injected in to the economy from those who can FINALLY afford things they want/need, will grow the businesses worthy of survival.
Those who fail probably have an inferior product, or service.
If you think "but Wal-Mart", you need to read some.
Google helps a lot.
But Walmart will still sell us cheap shit while small business needs to charge more that's everything down to getting your lawn mowed you will pay more. But cheap ass imports Walmart has your back. Lol

How does redistribution of wealth create value? You are taking from one group and giving to another...

Look at the current tax code and ask why we are currently redistributing wealth UPWARDS in this country?

We are merely proposing putting a stop to it.

Whack a mole.
Wealth is not a fixed thing. The people who are wealthy are not keeping money from the poor. That kind of mindset leads to the greed, envy and desire for control that you embrace.

Wealth is distributed when those with any amount of money see something of value and want to buy it.

So be valuable to the world in some way, or be fucking broke. Pretty simple.

Are you for a world of nothing but Walmart, Home Depot and McDonald's? I sure as shit ain't but those are the only ones who can afford this increase.
Technically speaking, even that's horseshit, for two reasons. One: ALL of our money is backed by faith, not by gold, so it's fucking worthless. Two: Anything worth value we do have is property of China, as they own most of our debt.

And Saudi Arabia owns much of the rest.

He just listed companies that are the worst low wage offenders- and then tried to throw those thousands of employees under the bus!

WTF bluntboy, no one deserves a living wage but you?! That's pretty fucking selfish, no surprise we're fighting unbridled greed.

But isn't that why the government would want massive inflation? They fuck us but they pay off the debt only way I can see it possible is inflation as 18 trillion or whatever is insane. Not to mention we owe USD not gold or silver so China is owed paper nothing more.

Inflation is what you will see not a living wage.

The new world order reeks of dying empire odor and changing the channel wont make that go away. As the veneer of democracy fades away, as the worlds down-size until it explodes, as the shanty-towns piled behind the malls become visible, as the savages on the other side of the wall break through, as everybody from gun-crazy militias to anti-immigrant nazis to fundamentalist child-raping christians to gangsta rappers to community activists to working families just struggling to put food on the table, all mad at the same thing: your SUV; me, me, me; "mission accomplished"; bring em on; buy more stuff, buy more stuff, fight terror, defend freedom so you can buy more stuff. The false illusion of yourworld is going down, motherfucker. Walk off your job. Crime is beautiful. A prank a day keeps the dog-leash away. Quit your jobs. Burn down the malls/prisons!!!

Gee so maybe we should raise taxes on corporations to be able to pay our country's bills?

But even still- you just spew talking points while being obviously ignorant of what you're talking about, nevermind the implications.

Go take a course in economics. You'll learn a lot, like just how badly the Republican right is fucking over this country's future. You might even learn enough to hold a credible conversation on the subject, which is more than you can currently manage.

Democunts are not raising taxes on the rich so stop blowing smoke Bernie ain't going to win. But go ahead and believe the minimum wage doubling is going to do us any good you think people around the world are going to be happy with $8 a day? Fuck no.

Do you think those who make $2,000,000 a year should pay 20% of their income while people who make $50,000 should also pay 20% of their income?

Executives (those with shit tons of money), hide behind corporate wealth. I don't think anyone here is talking about or complaining about small business owners who happen to make a lot of money. I think everyone would agree, "good for them!".

Do you think it's ok that the CEO of Yahoo should make $365,000,000 over 5 years?

Do you think it's ok for Mitt Romney to pay as little as 11% income taxes? Or perhaps The Donald? He likely pays the same amount in income taxes. But we don't know that for sure because he has yet to release his taxes, the thing he said he would do, but didn't. Like everything else he says.
