We incentivize what we incentivize. The market speaks. That has n bearing on you or me or Bill Gates feeding starving children if their parents can't handle that basic task. One does not hinder the other.
Phil Knight's success does not take any money from me. And he bought a really cool football team.
America will never be left enough to outright take money from the successful, We'll just keep taxing it out of them.
What's the solution? The marginal rate was 90% but no one paid it.
I have yet to hear how we are going to equalize income. The last Clinton put a cap on CEO pay which led to the explosion of bonus pay that widened the gap.
Good effort good job
It's just another divisive issue that will be championed by a chic with a billion dollar war chest and 100 million dollars of ill gotten income lecturing us on how unfair shit us.
"Starve the beast" is starting to show the impact of the strategy - the beast is beginning to starve. Governments need to provide infrastructure and education - our government(s), including most states, are doing less of that now.
Minnesota is booming, Wisconsin isn't. Which one is controlled by liberals?

Earned income credit is a joke. My parentals have done taxes for years and seen just mass amounts of fraud via earned income credit. Expanding it is not the solution.
It's also another thing that penalizes people for getting married.
Bernie is not arguing, contrary to what Tankersley suggests, that we spend too much buying deodorant. This should be pretty obvious as he didn't talk about the quantity of deodorant being consumed, but instead the dizzying (and socially useless) number of products in the deodorant category. The massive prizes our economic system pays out to someone who can capture deodorant market share with slick advertising may indeed incentivize them to innovate new branding strategies, but, Bernie amusingly asks, would cutting that incentive really be so bad?
Deodorant isn't serious. It was a fucking stupid analogy. No one wants Bernie Colonel Sanders opinion on the pit market. If you want a serious discussion then talk about something serious.

The New Yorker is your source? Oil is back up thanks to Obama and his rich oil buddies (W call back) California is the living embodiment of the wealth gap you claim to be concerned about. Tell the Central Valley how great things are. Of course there is a great concentration of wealth in enclaves of California.
As usual, our board democrats extol the success of the 1% as a reason to vote for the party of the little guy

Hilary is accountable to no one. Lesson 1
There was a functioning free market in this country in 1955 when the top marginal rate was north of 90%. GDP growth was higher then, too.
The fact that the leading candidates in the upcoming election are named Bush and Clinton tells us that we don't live in a pure meritocracy.

In other words, a bunch of bullshit
