Bernie Sanders made his speech criticizing the opulence of multiple brands of deodorant and shoes being sold while children in the world starve.AZDuck said:
Speech was made under the banner of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream; a food company which makes over 100 different flavors of premium ice cream

Fuck all that noise. Whip an alien's ass and then pop off.

Anyone remember when Bill Nye blew Jack Roberts on a refrigerator?

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?

This is what politics has devolved to. Ignoring real issues that have real consequences in favor of soundbites and slogans that no one really believes, but many people repeat. No one seriously thought Al Gore claimed he invented the internet. No one seriously thought Howard Dean's scream made him unqualified to be president. No one seriously thinks Sanders blames childhood hunger on deodorant. These are all distractions from honest political discussions. -

How could you leave out "no one seriously thought Barack Obama was born in Kenya"?
Fucking racist. -

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. -
I think he is talking about something serious.
Income inequality in America is greater than it has been since the Gilded Age. We are incentivizing the wrong things.
Sanders matters mostly because he will keep Hillary accountable to the left. -
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.
Hilary is accountable to no one. Lesson 1 -
Race, I love your polemical style.
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. -
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.
In other words, a bunch of bullshit -
In order for everyone to be equal, we need rich people to tell us how to make it equal.

Warren Buffet likes the idea of expanding the Earned Income Credit... worth considering.

"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.AZDuck said:Warren Buffet likes the idea of expanding the Earned Income Credit... worth considering.

It's also another thing that penalizes people for getting married. -
Congratulations! Your tax return says you're below the poverty line! Here's a few hundred bucks to make it all better!

Texas is booming Cali isn't. What's the point. If you think the government is starving we'll disagree
