The biggest pressure on the lower middle class isn't Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg per se, it is their support along with most dems for open borders and chain migration that brings in low skilled uneducated aliens that require extensive public support and undermine American wages.RaceBannon said:

I'm not an expert, but if the $7.25 federal minimum wage had been raised since 2009, that wouldn't hurt.
I don't care if the minimum wage gets raised but that isn't going to get anyone equal with anyone who has skills and a good job let alone the "rich"
Tell people the wonders of hard work and a useful education in a skill that is in demand and they can live comfortably unless inflation and high taxes takes it all away
The preaching of victimhood and the rich are stealing your money is the foundation of the lawless looting and wanton destruction we are looking at today -
RD can speak for himself, but massive income inequality isn't good for the stability of a country. I'm not Bernie Sanders and I'm not saying tax all billionaires 95% or anything like that, but there's a few haves and a lot of have nots. I lost all faith in the Dimocrats when they endorsed these policies during the early plandemic that hurt or killed small businesses and helped Amazon, Wall Mart, Target, Home Depot etc. while the local guys had to shut down. Complete bullshit supported by pseudo science at best. Plus all the woke faggots of the last 5-10 years...SFGbob said:

America has fallen so far that criminals do not fear arrest or incarceration as it's all a joke now. They used to fear getting shot but we've stopped that too. One would be hung for stealing a horse or cattle or sheep. The law was few and far between and this was our forefathers deterrent system. It worked pretty well. Since our leaders (I just threw up a little in my mouth) have neutered law enforcement and our criminals are so emboldened we may see it being happening again. People are fed up with rampant criminals running the streets doing whatever they want. The people will tire of it and shit will happen!
First call I went on at the L.A. riots was a man shot. He was shot all right. In the ass! Why? He was burglarizing vehicles in a secured fenced lot at an auto business. Guessing the owner didn't like that. We didn't bother to look for him or whoever the shooter might be. Flipped him a thumbs up where ever he was probably looking out a window and went back to work after the firemen got the suspect. no charges we didn't even have time to take his name nor did we give two shits. Justice was served. -
You're conflating a number of different issues and attributing them all to income inequality. Unequal income isn't why government shut down small businesses while allowing the large chains to stay open. Yes that exacerbated the exisiting income inequality but it wasn't the reason for it. The fact that Elon Musk has billions and I don't isn't inherently a bad thing. Now if he had all the money and I didn't have any and there was no way for me to earn a living, that would be bad.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

I think what Road is getting at is there is a threshold of poverty you cross that attributes to less criminality.
Even though you're billions away from Elon, you're much more like he is than someone on the street is to someone making 50k.
How we are at a point that a large portion of people feel victimized and entitled while living in the most prosperous and opportunity laced country in human history is the real problem.
But policies and narratives put in place by the left have a lot of people feeling the system is against them and that they are helpless to do anything about it.

Yes, it is a factor as to why they shut down small businesses. Huge corporations are mostly owned by the rich. Small businesses aren't as much. Don't think they didn't get on the horn and ensure all the politicians they essentially own, be the R or D left them alone. That, or they're able to hire high priced lawyers to carve out exemptions. They get to stay open, and some of their competition is crippled.SFGbob said:

Did you see the cars these "income inequality" thieves drove in on? Some nice ones. Income inequality isn't the reason this is happening. There have always been poor people like me growing up but this was never even dreamed of nor did I have a Lexus to drive downtown Portland, park in front of the store, run in grab expensive clothing and then casually run out.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I agree that income inequality doesn't help, but you can't just allow thievery and lawlessness.
This is a culture issue and the predominant offender is African American. -
Try and find the booking photos of the some of the people who were arrested and charged for the Louis Vuitton robbery. The media is treating them as if they are minors and refusing to show their faces.Bendintheriver said:

Jamisi Calloway, 24 of San Francisco; Kimberly Cherry, 28 of San Francisco; Francill White, 53 of San Francisco; Ivan Speed, 34 of Oakland; Tomiko Miller, 23 of Concord; Raynard Jones, 32 of Riverdale, GA; Edward James, 32 of San Francisco; Michael Ray, 27 of San Francisco; and Daron Wilson, 38 of San Francisco.
Nearly every single one of them already has a long rap sheet.

Some booking photos from 2016.
Gosh, two of those names look familar.

Used to play basketball with some of the Oregonian sportswriters in the late 80s-90s. Even back then the financial abyss was starting to stare them in the face. Almost everyone they played against was getting paid more than they were and were in growth industries. A more entitled bitter group of people would be hard to find.Doogles said:

Kimberly Cherry, 28 of San Francisco; Francill White, 53 These two are a mother and daughter. Daughter was just recently released from detention because she had a baby via c-section. She has a two month old daughter.

Tomiko Miller, 23 of Concord was convicted in 2020 of vehicular manslaughter and has two previous felony convictions from 2017 and 2018 and yet for some reason this systemically racist country let him out of jail each time.

I'm all for Chronicles of Riddick type prisons. If you're not deterred by spending time waiting to be murdered in a place like that, you deserve to be there.
