We live in a new Gilded Age. And we are the lucky ones, first worlders.

The other 19 guys are assholes.

Yes, the job makers. They keep the economy growing, paying $0 in taxes.

20 getbiggers is all a happy America needs - who cares about the rest.

Why is this a bad thing?

Why is this a bad thing?
...because I am not one of them.

if they took all their money and split it evenly between the 152 million people and waited a few years these top 20 will have all the money back again

I appreciate your honesty.

You do realize the top 1% of earners pay nearly 40% of all taxes, right?
-

This is true. If they gave their money to the 152 million, there would be 152 million broke people. The vast majority of mega million lotto winners go broke. The same people who complain about the greedy 1% lol.

BULL FUCKING SHIT. The majority funnel their income through Swiss Banks. Have you seen the recent scandal and list of thousands of Americans funneling their money through Swiss Banks?

Why is it that poor people rush to the defense of the super rich? I never understood how all the poor shits in the Midwest support guys like Trump and their plans to revoke health care and shit when they all need it.

Yep.....those poor Generation Entitlement spoiled brats should put on their Obozo campaign t-shirts, round up their liberal voting, college dropout friends, hop in an Uber car, head down to Wall Street to "occupy" it, and show all those rich old white Republicans who really runs this country!
That oughta work!

I'm just curious...does TA work for a living?

Percentages, meh. Show a stacked bar chart with actual dollars and you'll see that the super rich pay a fuck-ton in taxes.

easy fix to EVERY single problem in the US

I hope he doesn't work in any context where a basic understanding of simple math and statistics is required.

/\/igga, please.
A person is paid a wage for services rendered. That means that all 20 of those white men (and you know that it's white men) were paid, freely and without any coercion, their salaries and the entity paying for said services got their money's worth. Welcome to a free economy.

I'm not an elitist but.... are people so stupid that they can't appreciate 17.6% of a multimillionaire's income is a lot more than 28% of $100K?
It's like when Buffet claimed to pay less taxes than his secretary. Dumbfucks actually believed it. These are the people who want control over money?!

The central finding of this report is simple: Our analysis of 23 years’ worth of the Walton Family Foundation’s tax returns shows that Rob, Jim, Alice and Christy Walton—the second generation Walmart heirs—have contributed almost none of their personal fortune to the foundation which bears their family name.
Specifically:
- Rob and Alice Walton made zero individual contributions to the Foundation during the 23 years we examined;
- Jim Walton made a single personal contribution of $3 million to the Walton Family Foundation, more than 15 years ago;
- Rob, Jim, and Alice Walton and the family holding company they control (Walton Enterprises) have been responsible for only .13% of all contributions to the Walton Family Foundation ($6.4 million);
- Among the second generation Walton heirs, it is the in-law, Christy, who has been responsible for the largest share of contributions to the Foundation;
- The four Walmart heirs and Walton Enterprises combined have been responsible for only 1.2% of all contributions to the Walton Family Foundation.
The combined lifetime contributions of the second generation Walmart heirs and their family holding company to the Walton Family Foundation come to $58.49 million, or:
■■ About .04% of the Waltons’ net worth of $139.9 billion;
■■ About .34% of the estimated $17.1 Billion in Walmart dividends that Rob, Jim, Alice and Christy received during the years we analyzed;
■■ Less than one week’s worth of the Walmart dividends the Waltons will receive this year;
■■ Less than the estimated value of Rob Walton’s collection of vintage sports cars.
The report goes on to detail how the Foundation has been funded over the years, namely by tax-avoiding trusts established with assets provided by the late Sam, Helen and John Walton or their estates. The study found that 99% of the Foundation’s contributions since 2008 have been channeled through 21 Charitable Lead Annuity Trusts. These CLATs, as they’re known, are specifically designed to help ultra-wealthy families avoid estate and gift taxes.

I can't believe morons actually believe this nonsense. You should learn about cultural hegemony, maybe then you will understand why you espouse the views of the ruling class even though it opposes your own best interests. You sir, are what is known as 'a useful idiot'.

No, hes like Uncle J, a trust fund kid.

Pssst... all those billions dont really exist. ;)

That doesn't give me the right to break into a rich persons house and still their stuff or elect a govt to seize their assets.

Is the moon somehow jealous of the stars? Nope and the reason is because it is not human.
People only are jealous of and demand equality with those they feel are better than them.

TA, have you cut up Bernie shirts for the dogs yet? Is it true you don't work and live off of family money?
You guys know there is a whole politics board on Getbig, right?

Economist Stewart Lansley argues that the surging income gap of recent decades has not only been socially corrosive, but is also at the roots of our national and global economic crises.

Hmmmm...Is he willing to give up (at minimum) 9/10 of his income, savings and property and have it dispersed among the motivationally challenged and then live in comparative squalor so that these downtrodden souls can live in someone else's home without having to have worked for it?
Probably not.

For the sake of hilarity, all my white friends (who got gifts) believed until about 11 or 12. My Mexican amigos, who also believed (but apparently didn't get as many gifts), were all told Santa's sleigh went down over the Atlantic in '77.
No shit, their folks told them that the poor fuck crash landed in the icy drink, no survivors. They all had the same ridiculous story.

Shit, what was I thinking? Oops. But, yeah, crazy times. Might be why Adonis is so bitter; perhaps his Santa got stuck in a chimney like in Gremlins. Poor fella.

No, not them, only the white kids. Mom told me on the way to my high school graduation trip. Had to sort it out over the Pacific en route to Honolulu. Put a slight damper on the festivities, must say.

Exactly, sad childhood. You missed an important stage, friend. Truly nothing more thrilling than compiling a Christmas list and the anticipation one feels on Christmas Eve, leaving cookies & milk, hoping that fucker didn't forget the rootbeer Schwinn beachcruiser.
Your folks should've loved you more.

They did. I always had whatever I wanted. One of my favorite activities as a child was going to the Museum of Natural History or going to the park and collecting as many different leaf specimens as I could from different trees and then labeling them. I also loved reading my Deep Sea books as those always intrigued me. I found it amazing that the depths contained many species which never have been discovered.
Artifact hunting was also an activity I liked to. And playing with my Commodore!

I had to settle for a "Brick House" 45. Must really be something having parents who could actually purchase Lionel Richie. For the kid-who-has-everything and all, what a treat. Awkward for him, I'd imagine, but the light in your eyes ...
A special day for young Adam, I'm sure.
