Yesterday provided a prime example of the sorry state of discussion in the U.S. today. After displaying the information regarding the wealth inequality in the U.S. there was a broadside from someone, obviously a conservative. That was parroted by another one who agreed with the first one's speculation and compounded the stupidity of it with even less thought than the original.
The fundamental conservative thought and which they are incapable of thinking beyond is that everyone wants their money and everyone is going to come and take their stuff. Everyone wants their guns and will come to take them. In short, don't screw with my stuff.
That might be mildly-interesting if it had anything to do with what I wrote but it didn't. Let me take a wild assumptive leap and guess that no-one in this reading audience is actually in the One Percent. That being the case, there isn't ANYONE in the audience who is being asked to give up anything.
This has nothing to do with benefits except in the most general sense that redistribution of wealth benefits everyone but not in so simple a matter as who gets handouts. It would grease the entire economy. What do you know, consumers can't do their little jobs of buying stuff and using it up if they don't have the juice to pay for it. Whether Welfare Mama has ten illegitimate babies and gets money from the state isn't the point.
Whether I get benefits from the state has nothing to do with it. I've never taken any benefit and the only time I tried (V.A.) it went nowhere. If you want to attack that, knock yourself out but at least get the damn facts straight.
The responses yesterday were the lowest kind of cheap shots. Review the information, form an invalid speculation, and then attack the speculation instead of saying anything with any content regarding the information. It was fucking stupid and you will see that same gambit on Fox News over and over and over and over.
