Who Is "Ruining" America?

Not all wealth is earned but I agree with the basic principle. We should not force wealth redistribution as it has many negative implications and effects on everyone. Also I told you, have shit I am liberal about and shit I am conservative about.

SAME VOSS SAME - depending on the issue I can be liberal or conservative ... however this election cycle moving forward I'm conservative leaning overall like I've been going at lamby on a social issue - but since its economics me and her bout to team up on some dumb conservative

Okay, Okay I have to stop you right there. Yes Most of the people who have wealth has worked for it, but that money never makes it back to the people who need it. For god's sake there are companies who lobby against the minimum wage, and with the current inflation current day minimum wage isn't able to support a person's living conditions, and please don't raise the argument saying that minimum wage is meant for entry level teenagers cuz that simply isn't true. Minimum wage was made solely to make it so people could get paid enough so they could live off of it, and now society treats it like its only meant for entry jobs.

My biggest gripe with what master neko said - which is staple conservative economic ideology is that it assumes and implies that it is 100% hard work on the wealthy end and 100% lazy ineptitude on the poor. While personal responsibility is a thing ..... it isn't the only thing at all and steps need to be taken to give the ones willing and able to work and who are educated enough (depending on career field) to make a worthwhile sustainable living The biggest problem in this is that it assumes trickle down economics is in full effect when in fact is really is not - it is infringed as fuck ... the invisible hand really isn't a thing as per Capitalist theory
