Says the barely out his teens know-it-all who can't even quote right in an internet forum. Talk about epic failure....
Oh, where did I quote you wrong?
You know something? I was already an adult under Reagan, not just read about him in text books, smarty pants. So don't sit there and smugly try to lecture me about "Regeanomics" jack leg, when you weren't even a glint in your father's eye when Reagan was in office.
If you look at the very first link YOU provided when I asked YOU to show me what YOU meant by "wealth distribution", you will see that ASIA, which last time I checked was where CHINA is located, does indeed hold 50+% of the world's population ACCORDING TO YOUR ALL KNOWING AND ALL PROVING CHART. So if you want to split hairs with someone, split hairs with Wikipedia and not me.
Yeah, China is in Asia, but Cina is not the only country in Asia ****tard - a lot of other countries are too. China does not even have the largest GDP of the Asian nations, Japan does. What you said would be like pinning all of America's GDP on output from California and more over referring to America as "California". More over, its not my fault you chose to decide that Wealth Distribution only meant internationally. The article I linked you to was about Wealth Distribution in general, its not my fault all you ****ing did was look at the graph and not read because you are an idiot. From the first paragraph.
"Distribution of wealth is a comparison of the wealth of various members or groups in a society, and is one aspect of the economy and social structure. Typically, various racial and ethnic groups possess differing amounts of wealth, and the same is true when people are grouped by age or education. Different jobs bring in greatly different wages; the pay for some jobs is thousands of times greater than the pay for other jobs."
Second of all, the "distribution of wealth" or Robin Hood theory is indeed a SOCIALIST idea. Matter of fact, even the link YOU provided says that clearly. Here, I'll quote it for you since you're having reading comprehension and open-mouth-insert-foot syndrome:
Yeah, I never said it wasn't. What are you, retarded?
"Various forms of
socialism, and
capitalism to a lesser degree, make attempts to diminish the conflicts arising from the unequal distribution of wealth."
"The economic/political system of
communism forwards the idea that a government, serving the interests of the
proletariat, would confiscate the wealth of the rich and then distribute benefits to the poor."
You're talking about communism, not Socialism.
"They cite the former
Soviet Union and The People's Republic of
China as examples of countries where, despite aggressive economic regulation, wealth continues to be distributed unevenly."
Again, still communism. Another problem still, these nations weren't(aren't) democracies.
Hmmmmm, so let's take a look at YOUR example of how "distribution of wealth" is NOT a Socialist/Communist idea......oh, wait......We just did, huh? Who's dumb one now????
The Robin Hood idea has always been a Socialist battle cry. It has also served to keep people dependent on their GOV'T rather than themselves, after all if can't get it on your own....under the Socialist ideals.....the gov't will make sure to take it from someone else that has it to "share" it with you. That my friend, is exactly what Socialism is all about at its core. Looks good on paper, to those that get the handouts, but it doesn't work.
How about you stop making blanket generic statements and use some concrete proof?
I actually provided evidence from the start. Its not my fault you chose not to look at it.
Name those countries where YOU feel that people have all this wealth they share with each other in harmony, get to walk around naked if they want, and live out their lives in the lap of luxury. Name them. Because I know that in just about every country in Europe you can't even own a gun,
Yeah, about that, which European countries don't allow gun ownership? Wait, you probably can't name any because you're speaking out your ass. Europeans enjoy this freedom as well. And seriously, when you talk about freedoms you go straight to the guns, I love it.
let alone carry one. That's a great "freedom". How about voting? I know that up until the late 20th century several countries didn't even give their citizens a right to vote.
Yeah, lots of countries still don't. How's this relate to the nations in question though? Oh, wait, it doesn't. We're not talking about ****ing Saudi Arabia.
Great "freedom" there. Let's not forget about freedom of speech, religion, and press......because in Europe people don't get killed for any of those, right? Another great "freedom".
I'm assuming this is some kind of dig because Europe didn't get hit by any individual terrorist attacks as major as 9/11. That's probably because Europeans gave up on having an empire a long time ago but we are still an imperialist power, stepping on the toes of some seriously angry people.
Yep, wealth distribution.....which has worked so remarkably for countries like Germany during Hitler and Italy during Napoleon and Mussolini.....
Wow, what a sound argument. "FASCISTS DID IT- IT MUST BE EVIL."
Hitler and Mussolini got up and brushed their teeth every morning, I'm sure that's pretty terribly evil as well.
and personal freedoms.....which is why the good ole U.S.A. was even created to begin with.....sure do go a long way towards showing all of us idiot Westerners just how it should be done.
Whatever, no thanks.
Finally, name those countries you think are so much more "developed" than we are. I'd be curious to see that list. I'm willing to bet that short of some index, chart, or economist saying so.....you have no other real material to prove your point. Wanna bet?
I realize dumb people like to do this when smart people know better than them... but seriously... THIS IS BASICALLY WHAT ECONOMISTS GET PAID TO DO AND IS THEIR FIELD OF EXPERTISE. And nobody else. Do you want me to make a collage of Norway next to the U.S. and do a side by side comparison or something?
WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE WOULD YOU USE THAN SOME INDEX, CHART OR SURVEY PERFORMED BY AN ECONOMIST?
That is how you compare these things. You get economists. BECAUSE ECONOMISTS KNOW ABOUT ECONOMICS.
