He gave us the free will to be an atheist, as selfishness is a flawed human, being atheist doesn’t grant a dispensation. Which is about how we are to try to treat others, within our means. But this is about our flawed nature and unrighteousness.
Who or what tells an atheist what is flawed and unrighteous?
And??
What happened in the 1970s?
a.) Reagan was electedin the early 1970s?
b.) The Great Society programs were instituted and we came off the gold standard?
(HINT: You learn of these things in econ class another one from partisan talking points.)

Reagan wasn’t POTUS in 1974?
How can that be?
The oil crisis of the early 70’s, along with Watergate caused the economy to crash, with double digit inflation…that was NOT Reagan’s fault. what happen in the next decade, w/out a huge event like the oil crisis to deal with is his fault…By implementing neoliberal economics we can now see the results.

Anyway, ecoomies work like this:
1970s:
Corporation buys a $10 shovel for every worker.
Small investment per worker = small % of GDP goes to investors.
(Larger % to workers.)
2000s:
Corporation buys a $100,000 backhoe for every worker.
Investment needed per worker is 10,000 times larger = a MUCH larger % of GDP goes to investors.
(Smaller % to worker.s)
Think about it. If you own a company and you have to invest $100,000 for every worker are you gonna split the take with him 50/50?

These guys invested over $7million per job.
Wahddya think.
Should an investor who invests $7 million per job,
make more or less than an investor who invests $7,000 per job?

Ah the good little Marxist buzz words, meant to stroke false immiseration. Class envy, race envy, just 2 wilted blooms on the same worthless weed.

Why the atheist tries to tell himself, as what he believes in is himself and this world.
When you guys use the Marxist or communism, you have lost the debate, I am no where near there.
I do get it though…when one is so far to the right…everyone else looks like a Marxist or Communist
I do not think any you are fascists…just far right conservatives that believe in trickle down economics.

YOu know that some industries (and therefore some economies) are laobr intensive and some are capital/technology intensive, right?
This is not new information to you, right?

What is your point? I am aware we are more of a service economy now, with financial industry ranking 2nd.
Is the atheist wrong?
Why should a billionaire have to pay a higher tax rate than you?
I am no where near there.
Labor intensive:
Investors buy one $10 shovel per worker.
Capital Intensive:
Investors buy one $100,000 backhoe per worker.
As economies become more capital intensive a greater portion of GDP goes to pay for capital (instead of labor.) Hard fact.

Ok…Do oes that explain the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy?
Today’s CEO’s make 400x more then their average paid employee, compared to 40x their average employee 40+ years ago.
Are CEO’s really that much smarter today to justify their huge increase in compensation?
Yes, they have Hahvad degrees.
Why should a billionaire have to pay a higher tax rate than you?
Yes.
- In an economy that is made up of I dunno . . . rice farmers 100% of the GDP goes to labor and 0% goes to capital.
- In an economy that needs a little investment a little money goes to the investors who provide it.
- In an economy composed of a lot of investment a lot of the GDP goes to investors.
Ergo the people who provide nothing but labor get less in one economy and more in the other as an economy becomes more capital intensive more of its net goes to those who provide capital.
This might be a good thing.
This might be a bad thing.
But it is definitely the way things work.
Notice the racist retort.
