It is nowhere near "rich" and incredibly short of "super rich" but certainly more than the median... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_household_income |

Median is just the middle where half the households make more and half make less. Nothing more.
A better indicator would be a bell curve and the standard deviation. Then you could make some claims concerning relative wealth and how it relates to where one fell on the curve. |

Truly, lol... no wonder this country is so fucked. This is 2nd grade math and it goes straight over your head... maybe this is why your business failed so bad? You can read a tape measure like no other, but basic balancing of a check book is without question far far far past your abilities.... ![]()

Doctors voluntarily spending their vacation in Africa helping poor people -> good. People voluntarily raising money to help the homeless -> good. ... Government programs -> only wreak havoc. From an economic point of view government intervention only increases time preference, resulting in higher consumption, less saving,... From a sociological point of view this increase in time preference results in higher crime rates, drug and alcohol abuse, higher divorce rates,... for more info see Hans-Hermann Hoppe on time preference. |

From an economic point of view, the gov has funded almost everything that has grown our great country to various levels throughout history - including the technology you use to make this post, so bad aren't they? Odd, countries with social gov's, much more gov in life... don't all have higher crime rates, drug, alcohol abuse, or divorce rates. Actually, most of those countries have MUCH lower rates than America. In a Country that votes on local/state laws, elects the people, etc... if it's fucked up, it's OUR OWN fault... not the fake hand of the big gov that everyone likes to blame.

Other industries, like life products, even with almost full market penetration with some products, the owners don't come anywhere close to making enough to pay themselves that type of money, even the entire company doesn't make that much money. Almost all fortune 500 company owners make less than 15 million a year (I think it was, it wasn't that high either way), you have to add up total value of every asset they own to get to the billions, with the biggest in the entire country being only 50 billion or so. Nothing about the financial industry is honest.... they stole trillions from us, take our tax dollars and make more money, then pay themselves fat bonuses with our money directly. They should be taxed to death, 98%+

Taxation is a practice whereby one organization forces another to pay, regardless of what this other organization has done. Taxation is a violation of people's property rights and therefor unethical. Back tot he financial industry: The hideous things banks have done and continue to do, they have been able to do thanks to the state. It is the state that forces people to use fiat currency. It is the state that forces people to use banks. It is the state that takes out loans "in the name of the people" and taxes people so it can pay back those loans with interest. It is the state that allows banks to run their fractional reserve scheme (something that is inherently unstable and banks would be unable to do in a free market). It is the state that covers the banks' losses with money it takes (taxation) from 'the people'. It is the state that rewards the irresponsible behavior of the banks. This whole low taxes vs high taxes for group x vs group y discussion is nothing but a distraction. Divide and conquer... make the poor and middle class, entrepreneurs and wage workers, etc fights amongst each other about who should be taxed that tiny bit more and the result is that that no one takes the time to question the underlying problem. People fight amongst each other and the system, the institution that makes all of this corruption possible remains safe, out of the spotlight. Another president, another congress, another senate, another head of the Fed, new regulations, a different tax system,.... none of these things will fix anything. Like they said in "The Tigercat": everything had to change so everything could remain the same. If you really want to change something, fight the disease, not its symptoms. |

As rotten as things might be today they are salvageable and the economy is undergoing change from the industrial age to the digital age. The robber barons of this great recession will be history but their progeny will live on to haunt us as the robber barons of the late 1800s are still stealing under new names today ... |

There's nothing wrong with banking. It's an essential service of any complex economy and will always arise in a free market. There is however a huge difference between legitimate banking services and the way our banks are being run today. See "The Mystery Of Banking" by Murray Rothbard for more info.

Its the manipulation of the money supply by the central bank that causes the boom. It's the further manipulation of the money supply by the central bank and the intervention of the government in the economy that cause the boom to get bigger. The bigger the boom, the bigger the bust. |

I would love a world of no taxes.. and unethical? Only if it doesn't benefit me! Well, the banks followed the natural progression of the free market, the same progression every industry in the world follows. Whatever State, people, fed, hand you think controls them today, is false... banks are the result of the free market and thus will be here until technology replaces them. Well, thing is... 90% of the population is on board with taxing the living shit out of the super rich and basically not taxing us anything... if only those making higher incomes would stop yelling down, and start yelling up, everyone would be going the right direction. Even though I know banks, the reserve, etc... in various ways fuck me over, just like you, I'm not doing anything about it. So rather than discussing what we aren't going to change, I tend to work within the boundaries of reality that I can alter. If you try to cure the disease it simply moves to a new location... like wealth, it never goes away, it's the balance that goes with it. I don't want to change what can not be changed.... I want to make it work for me, more!

Yes, I'm familiar with him. Anarchocapitalism would not work in practice.
And I think there's a reason that it is not practiced. .

So Moveon.org hired a cartoonist to teach us about the economy?
He left out a few things
__________________
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that |

![]() I meant to address, but left out for some odd reason, the banking side and the whole Austrian School of thought, which I don't find compelling. I think we've been through this before. It is a fringe position, IMO. I think it is flawed. It can't be modeled. It's why no OECD country adopts it. It has next to no chance of being legislated in the developed world. No mainstream political organization wants to abolish fractional reserve banking. I also have problems when it is conflated with government borrowing, which is a step many make that I don't share. .

Think how bad it would suck for them, if we had trash roads, no safety services, if it was dirt they truly slept in within our cities, if they had no food banks, or places to sleep on cold nights, no public transportation, no welfare, school lunch programs, even education or subsidized housing that have helped tens of millions of Americans. Reality is, we do step around them... we live in a world filled with personal greed and attachment to everything around us. That fake dollar, setup by the State, (as well as gold, our tv, a loaf of bread, etc) has more value to us than a human life.
