Marriage is now allowed for gays in Florida.

Oh who cares?
............are really minor matters in the progress of this country, mere distractions to the fact that a very teensy percentage of individuals are gaining more and more of the wealth of this country, and that the current capitalist system is unsustainable.

If that is more important , who thinks so?

Why is much being done about other things and nothing done about the sustainability of the capitalist system?

Seems like the least of our worries is that the USA will not tax someone {anyone} quite enough.

[sirs]

So true....and notice how quickly the left tries to change the subject from those issues that are ranking highest in polling, such as debt, economy, unemployment, out-of-control centralized government, and national security, to ..... abortion, gay marriage, & income inequality       

[Xavier_Onassis]

Income inequality and a sustainable future both with regard to the economy and the environment are important to each and every American.The other issues are sideshows to woo the slower thinkers, who prefer to fear Blacks. play with firearms and hate gays.

[sirs]

Income inequality doesn't even rank in the top 10 of nearly every poll.  Yet, there's the left pulling out that sideshow, just the same as you claim the right does with gay marriage and abortion...all in an effort to deflect from the REAL issues that most Americans are concerned about,..... economy, unemployement, out of control Government, and of course, HEALTHCARE.  Can't be talking about those now, can we....need to fool those stupid Americans, to believe that income inequality and "free" (as in more taxes) Jr College, is supposedly the bees-knees of issues

[Xavier_Onassis]

Polls are not what make issues important. Reality does that.

The reality is that the current system is both financially and ecologically unsustainable, regardless of polls.

  Income inequality is not a real issue.

   Income equality is an evil notion, a fantasy that has no benefit to offer but has killed millions for the sake of its will of the wisp appeal.

     Think about income equality from the point of view of the time when it is accomplished , above the mountain of skulls that it took to accomplish it and the famine that it maintains.

      Look at the facts that we know , income was never so equalized as the early 60s in China , when the greatest famine of human history just happened to occur, what about income equality would ever prevent famine?

       I think about an hundred years ago right here in the south pellagra and yellow fever  dogged the poor who had bad diets and difficulty escaping filth, but they were blessed with far fewer millionaires per capata  than now. Go ahead and correct for inflation I DD dare you .

      More wealthy per capata is a noble goal , it comes with good service to the population, which is the fount of that wealth.

      Income redistribution , without regards' to earning, is worse than unfair, it is pernicious and deadly.

     The illusion of fairness that equal distribution of wealth carries has at times been so strong , that leaders and populations have allowed or engendered famines to promote income equality.

That is 100% certifiable BULLSHIT. When any society reaches a point in which the few have most of everything, what always happens is some d=sort of violent bloody revolution.  It is better for the fatcats to learn how to share what they do not need (Rupert Murdock's five billionth dollar, Romneys second house with an elevator for his cars) than to wait until it simply explodes.

And in addition, the economic and ecological system is entirely non sustainable.

You just have the cycle backwards.

It is a long struggle to produce a widespread high standard of living, this is never the result of a revolution.

No, the ability to rationalize does that.  You claim how abortion and gay marriage are "not important issues"....based on what....YOUR perception of what's important??

There is no right to equal outcomes  The reality is that income inequality is only important to the hard core left....as it feeds their class warfare rhetoric, and allows opportunities to try and distract those stupid Americans from the REALITY of the issues they believe are most important

And what makes our economic system so dysfunctionally unsustainable, is NOT income inequality, but DEBT & DEFICIT SPENDING.

This is a very, very rich country where many people still have difficulty feeding themselves. I say everyone has a right to enough to eat and a decent place to live. I do not actually give a shit what an asshole like sirs believes.

[sirs]

Sorry, there is no such "right", anywhere in the Constitution.  Nor is there any right to some perceived equal outcomes".  The only right is that you have is in the opportunity to obtain as much of an income as you want.  Some folks are indeed luckier than others.  Some folks make bad decisions.  NEITHER folk should be supplimented for their bad decisions, whether its bailing out a company, or providing abortion services. 

If you wish to donate large sums of money to help whoever you want to help, by all means.  Your money, is your money.  But if you're going to keep pushing some perceived mandate that we as a country, must provide, based on your leftist sense of morals, then by all means, I can push the same moral mandate that we as a country, need to provide aide to our military allies, especially Israel

Not to mention, none of this has anything to do with you having to believe what sirs believes.....Dr. Deflection

[sirs]

Ohh......last Nurse has responded....a bundle of an unborn baby girl.  Apparently not a fetus....not a potential girl....not a mass of cells.....but an actual unborn baby human, gender girl

No, this is a disaster .

The number of people doing a lot less than their fair share of the needed work is already pretty high, at some point it can't be sustained.

[Xavier_Onassis]

How much work do you reckon Rupert Murdock does in a day?

There are hundreds of trust fund clowns here in Miami, driving up and down I-95 in their 9-11's,  Ferraris and Lamborginis that have never done a lick of work in their entire lives.

The amount of work done is rarely related to the salary received or the usefulness of the work done.

Your opinion and jealousy are both duly noted
