Orthodox economics proves it beyond a doubt. It is the right that has benefited by fake news and lower civic participation.

Blue states subsidize Red states. Fucking welfare queens.

Define "reasonable standard of living." Reconcile it with cost of living too.

I can't imagine being a gross enough human being to see anything wrong with that incredibly common idiom.

Health insurance, home, food security, personal safety, ability to live how you like freely. Basic Four Freedoms stuff.

The cost is artifically high because the 1% have too much wealth due to being subsidized so heavily. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme like Amway. The people who work the hardest get the least unless you're on top in an elite profession.

Obvoiusly redistribution is necessary. Now the tail is wagging the dog and the inequality is dysfunctional. Functional inequality is the goal.

Blame the blacks, step one in conservative playbook. Step two: cry racism whenever your privilege is challenged.

Shitlord.

Willful ignorance is step three in the conservative playbook. "I've never heard Trump say anything racist or demeaning to women".

At least Endlesssky is open with his hatred for people different than him. The rest are weak and try to hide it

TIL: The subjective opinions of one man are indeed the objective and unchanging truth of the universe.

You didn't reconcile with cost of living. :(

Because if you did, you would know that red states generally enjoy higher disposable incomes than blue states because of lower costs of living and lower taxation.

Look to Ohio for how to be successful. It's pragmatism with compassion ;) Not rejecting health care for your citizens in the name of freedom, which is a misnomer for free trade fundementalism, the current greatest threat to open society, would be a start.




California annual median income: 51,763.
Wyoming annual median income: 60,214.

California is also recognized as the welfare capital with a 33% welfare recipient rate even though it only totals 12% of the population.
So thank a red state for paying your way.

Redistribution of goods produced in a rational way obviously. Let people keep more of what they earn for one. Second Not overproduction of one commodity to the detriment of other needed ones. This would more or less eliminate recessions which now are caused by surplus and not scarcity. An example is the housing bubble where houses are overproduced heavily, which is still happening, where we have banks hanging on to empty homes and letting them turn to shit to protect the value of the private property they own, meanwhile there isn't a single shelter bed open in my city tonight and call around it is probably true there, all so banks can retain their wealth and not see diminished wealth on their other property holdings because their value is relative to how many empty houses they can hold hostage from poor families living in the street or just squatting in the plethora of endless homes produced, which to you would be criminal, effectively making homelessness a crime. The dot.com recession is the same thing. Our means of production are post-scarcity, we even subsidize wealthy landowners to not grow crops, including several GOP senators, who are just getting fat and delicious, you know the meat has good marbling.....they don't understand that dudes aren't going to be looting stores when it happens again...they are going to be devoured. All scarcity is artificially created for the benefit of the 1%.

If you want to talk cost of living I work for a business that is nonprofit, gives away a million dollars of health care a day, and pays its employees above market rates. People with greater skill sets make more than people who do more menial tasks. We aren't supporting any billionaires who don't advance the mission at all, just own shares.

Too many free lunches being bought for rich guys.
