itt: we discuss why americans defend trickle down economics
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
― Ronald Wright
inb4 MUH LAZY PEOPLE, M-MUH KIDS AREN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH
wish i had some cum to trickle down my face
No one's defending it.
But no one is going to argue with the poor distribution of wealth
>>52587110
if the cum is distributed the way the money is you'd probably be disappointed with your bukkake kek
>>52587066
>Socialism
>Taking root in any first world countries apart from meme politics
Also because Pic related.
Trickle down doesn't work people say it does, it's just capital distribution. The principle is the same.
Could be worse
>>52587219
>i literally don't know what socialism is
>>52587066
Not uniquely American a concept

whats there to discuss?
your quote is literally the mindset of everyone in this country
>don't raise taxes because then i'll have to pay high taxes when im rich and famous
at this point though the 1% already have all their money off shore so the government can't touch it.
>>52587258
>Tu quoque
hmmmmmm
>>52587239
>As a social and economic system, it is characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production
>I have to go into ludicrous student denbts and work in three jobs so that I become rich!
t. American
>>52587278
you know what /pol/ is like they'd blame jews or something
>>52587219
>our bottom decile is worse off than greece
shit I didn't know we were that bad
>>52587300
>IT DOESNT HAPPEN HERE
M8, you're literally owned by a tiny minority http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/jun/21/australian-inequality-rising-as-top-20-increase-wealth-and-income-report
wait a minute how come i get crap when is say some inequality thing and when you say it everyone agrees
that's dumb
What are we supposed to do about it?
Vote?
What a laugh.
>>52587341
It's actually about the same as Greece and slightly worse than Japan
>>52587360
because only Euros are awake right now
>>52587360
maybe it's the accent
>>52587343
>>52587258
Jesus, even Australia is just as cucked
>>52587343
>>52587258
yeah well i'm opposed to that too btw
>>52587300
He brought up a good point. Inequality is something that's really bad in many Anglo nations. A lot of it is hidden away and swept under the rug.
We're talking 3rd world countries in Africa aren't as unequal
>>52587390
ya but its greece
the country that is the physical manifestation of debt
france and uk are way higher than us
>>52587066
Every line in this post is built around a hackneyed meme.
Australia lives up to its reputation.
>>52587535
>Every line in this post is built around a hackneyed meme.
which one?
>>52587591
>Every line
Hard to understand?
>>52587611
no fambam no, which meme?
>>52587645
"trickle down" meme
"temporarily embarrassed millionaire" meme
your pre-emptive strawman, while presented using meme syntax, was the only bit which contained any level of individual expression.
>>52587714
you're the first person to even disagree so far, what's your explanation for the gap?
>>52587768
Disagree with what? You didn't pose an argument. You regurgitated a couple memes and posted a screenshot from a half-witted propaganda video.
>>52587794
>You regurgitated a couple memes and posted a screenshot from a half-witted propaganda video.
what's your explanation for the gap?
so ahh yeah what's your explanation for growing wealth disparity in america?
>>52587880
Accumulation of capital from outside of the US by multinationals. Fuck off with your lazy fedora shitposting.
>>52587880
>so ahh yeah what's your explanation for growing wealth disparity in america?
Poor and unintelligent people breed more than rich and intelligent people. Also post the wealth disparity for white americans.
>>52587066
USA is run by corporations, what's new for you?
>>52587232
Kek
Usa is fucked. This kind of inequality will lead to instability in the society. People can't be happy with this extreme centralization of wealth.
>>52588397
No it won't. People don't actually care about this shit, it's just an excuse. As long as there's no food shortages, we're golden.
>>52588496
This desu. If people aren't lacking, they're happy. An increase in wealth does not result in a permanent increase in happiness.
>>52587407
Americans don't have accents retard
>>52588614
MY accent, the joke being that it was text on a screen and as such it's impossible to communicate with one.
good grief
>>52587066
>Socialism never took root in America
that is bullshit
>>52588747
I can never tell if americans are playing dumb for laughs or if they're just that dumb because most times they are
if he was joking then top laugh tb h
