@HannuMarijarvi I guess you don't know that Germany, the main player by far in europe, leads the world in manufacturing and exports Europe has great many old money families with tremendous wealth, europeans don't constantly wage this kind of class warfare we see in America

what a pile of bullshit the main reason for income inequality is the fact that America has lost it's manufacturing base to Asia. Higher taxes on the rich will not reverse that but rather it would reduce by substantial amounts the venture capital available for innovation and new high tech industries. progressives favor higher taxes because they're more interested in new social programes rather than economic growth. Nanny state giveaways bolster their voting base. progressives are asses

@tubester4567 two things really bother me, people talking about "social justice" and paying "fair share" of taxes. I have never seen these defined! So tell me, what in hell is a fair share? if we raised taxes, Obowma would simply spend it by adding to social spending, national debt would still rise and we would go deeper into the sewer hole corporations have a legal duty to earn as much as possible for their shareholders, it's NOT greed oil industry helps canada, not regulations

@HannuMarijarvi less income inequality certainly hasn't helped Europe avoid very serious financial problems which negates what progressives see as a problem in the US. America has for many years been seen as a place to go to to make personal fortunes so we have a lot of ambitious aggressive people and money begets money. Growth of high tech industries has made a lot of billionaires. CEOs see athletes, entertainers make huge earnings so they have accelerated their expectations vs workers
