Redistribution of Wealth

Communism is the reason our government is even functioning right now. If it weren't for China and the trillion dollars or so we now owe them we'd all be fucked.

Funny that you mention China considering that they have probably the worst income inequality in the world and they have 1/5 of the world's population. They're doing so well

I'm just saying that they have 700 billion dollars to send us whenever our leaders (on both sides) decide to socialize the failure of their corporate cronies. I know all about their human rights violations and their income inequality, but that is un-related to the point I was trying to make.

How? You basically just praised Communism and then when I point out how not so great China is it's well that's not really the point. I'm sorry you cannot praise China in their economic success and in the same breath discount the other stuff because you think the two are not interrelated.

What does the average person live on over there? How much does the average Chinese factory worker make? People want to complain about income inequality and bad working conditions, and and then praise China when the very things that we condem is what is allowing them to get as far and as quickly as they are.

The Republicans are quick to criticize Obama's economic plans as "socialism". But I don't think most republicans realize what socialism really is, which is what you have in China. What Obama wants to do is to re-structure the tax code back to the way it was under Bill Clinton. We were still a far cry from socialism under Clinton. The rich stayed rich, the poor pretty much stayed poor, the middle class were just a little better off.

We are actually closer to conditions in China under the Republicans who are all for income inequality, de-regulation (see also: bad working conditions)etc.

You're kidding me right? You are really trying to equate all of the bolded with stuff going on here? Real funny man. We are no where near where China is. In China there is almost no such thing as middle class considering most of the population is dirt poor.

Income Inequality LOL thats a new one. You mean they are all for "If you EARN IT you deserve it". Why should you make more money than me if im more qualified? If im better? gotten better breaks than you, etc.

De-Regulation? Whats your opinion of Barney Frank, just curious how you can say Republicans are for deregulation when Mr. Frank was the cause for this whole crisis in the first place.

I bet 99% of you work for "RICH" People so count your blessings

DING DING DING we have a winner!

and it goes even farther back than that. We can go all the way to the Carter Administration for the stage being set. Everyone else just abused the system to form the biggest economic collapse short of the great depression.
