She had this real slutty ripped number on, and a red bandanna around her eyes, and a choke collar! I was doing her from behind and pulling on a chain attached to the collar. Then I had her hold me while I suckled on them big black tittys! Then we had some Sweet Potato Pie, and she went back to her place out back.

So, you're a serial killer and a pulp romance novelist.  If I had access to the FBI database, I'm sure I could find out exactly who you are pretty quickly.

The myth that the left perpetuates is that "trickle-down" economics doesn't work is clearly bullshit and any person with a brain should know better.

Only the left could come up with that turd sandwich. It’s so asinine it’s barely worth addressing. Let’s tax business 100% and see how many people they hire. According to their economic fantasy world that should cause wealth to trickle up.

[Lord Grantham]

I'm wealthy.

I'm real smart.

Is Laura fuming and contemplating life with the Rednecks she despises? How will she sea-change her attitude and learn to kiss their asses to survive?

What?

The consolidation of wealth into fewer and fewer hands leads to the kind of monopolistic economy we have now and that's pretty much the opposite of a free market, no?

It doesn't work. It isn't designed to work. All that happens is a firm pays its execs more (even when they screw up, because then they can sack the staff when it goes to shit), and pay dividends to shareholders. The staff who aren't already on seven figure salaries and share options don't get a look in. There are people today in the same job they were in twenty years ago on the same dollar amount salary as they were then. Ever hear of a CEO complain they're on the same salary as they were on in 1990?

I have been a sports hero, and rock God. I have worked corporate, run my own small business, and had an IPO. I have worked for the US Government, and been a Mercenary in Africa, and met the Queen of England. I have bedded many women, and killed a wild animal with my bare hands! I have stared death in the eye, and walked away victorious! I have bribed politicians, and cavorted with criminals, and met Donald Trump's best friend. I have partied with Sammy Hagar's drummer five times! I have been wealthy, poor and wealthy again. I am an investor of note, and have mineral interests in South America and the Orient. I have an estate, servants and henchmen! My beard is long and grey, and I look stunning in a western cut suit! Women adore me. Men fear me. Children respect me. Animals love me. From my West Texas Ranch, to my sea-side Condominium, to my Suburban residence, I fly to and fro in a private plane. I am master of my domain, and the finest Troll on BellGab! I am the last of the Old Confederate Gentleman!

This looks like a Franklin Mint product.  But tell us, how did they make the coin orange, stupid and worthless?  Also, I understand the post office is going to issue a Donald Trump stamp.  Instead of the stick-on variety, it will be gummed so that you can spit on both sides.

I'm impressed how they reproduced the comb over on the coin.

I am having two beef rojo enchilada's, beans, rice, and simple salad. Chips and Salsa, Unsweetened Iced Tea with lemon, and a few corn tortilla's with butter.  It's very good. Donald Trump is the God Emperor. Fuck you all, and have a wonderful afternoon!

Your moralizing Assumptions about why people are rich and poor and how they got that way make you look like an Ass. Tell us why "rich" Donald Trump is a better person than the "poor" guy who busses your table at the restaurant...

Yeah I know, in Libtard America telling the truth makes a person an ass.  Oh well.

I didn't say successful people were better, I said what they produce is more desireable than what the poor produce.  This includes job skill sets.  The more valuable and desireable the goods and services one produces are considered to be by potential customers (or employers), the more that person will be rewarded for them.  No job skills or entry level job skills are not considered valuable as there are plenty of people offering that and they are easy for employers to find.  Is this really controversial? 

Donald Trump develops property people want to live in and locate their businesses in, and runs resorts where people want to golf, eat, and stay - and they are happy to pay him to do so.  Building and managing those properties takes a rare skill set that took years of hard work to develop.  A waiter takes your order and brings food from the kitchen to your table.  Nearly anyone can do that.

It's not about who is a better person.  That is more left-wing divisive claptrap.  The Left encourages people to do nothing other than sit back, bitch, and be envious - instead of encouraging them to go out and put in the effort to develop their own skills to be sucessful.  The Left has been very effective with their class warfare, and have destroyed millions of lives with it on their way to their socialist utopia.  Free yourself.

Is this really what you think comprises the US economy?

Yes, a few companies have fired everyone and their executives have received bonuses.  Employees are the most valuable assets a company has, and for them to be fired is usually a last resort of a very poorly performing business.  Sometimes the bonuses were predetermined in executive employment contracts, sometimes they were paid to cut costs and turn the company around, sometimes the only way to compete was to offshore or outsource, sometimes it was a complete travesty.  Offshoring is a problem, and usually a step a business feel compelled to take; but the rest is quite rare when ALL businesses in the economy are considered.

CEOs are paid what they are paid because the good ones are scarce and every company of any size needs one.  We can go into the skill set required, and why it's rare to find all the necessary skills in one person if you like.  And yes, some of it is because they sit on each other Boards and inflate each other's compensation.  But so what, while the pay looks huge, it's a tiny percentage of revenues and profits.  The companies themselves are better equipped to determine what executive pay should be than, say, you are.

The evil ''Shareholders'' are mostly the middle class holding retirement accounts. 

The only people making the same money they made 20 years ago are entry level employees, and others whose careers have stagnated.  My question would be why are the folks earning minimum wage still on the lowest rung of the ladder after 20 years, and why are the others expecting to be paid more over time for doing the same job?  The economy has grown considerably more complex over the past 20 years, a CEO is not ''doing the same job'' as they were 20 years ago.  But a cashier is.

Do yourself a favor and stop reading whatever it is you're reading when it comes to the economy.  You're being filled with bullshit.

[Swishypants]

I hate to agree with Pud on anything but underpaying employees reduces the velocity of money in the mainstreet economy and leads to civil unrest. I don't think you want to take it to the level of poorly paid people blowing up and/or sabotaging infrastructure  because accepting that "it's not the same as 20 years ago" is too easy to abide when you're not facing the problems that they are. The economy is undeniably in a state that can not continue. It will get better, or the losers in it will crash the entire damn thing. Self preservation has to be considered, even for people that "understand" everything. You may not like certain groups, but in numbers, they can destroy what you have, even if they can't seem to help themselves.

Since President Trump won the Republican nomination, the majority of his companies’ real estate sales are to secretive shell companies that obscure the buyers’ identities...

Over the last 12 months, about 70% of buyers of Trump properties were limited liability companies â€" corporate entities that allow people to purchase property without revealing all of the owners’ names. That compares with about 4% of buyers in the two years before.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/06/13/trump-property-buyers-make-clear-shift-secretive-llcs/102399558/

Paperboy is laying it all out.  He never said Trump or the rich are better what he said is that many that live in poverty in this country subsist on handouts and don't even bother trying to get a job.  Maybe they are drug addicts or live in dysfunctional families.  If you have the ambition and health to get off your ass and get a job, you won't be stuck in poverty. There are also people stuck in low wage jobs mainly because people shop at discount stores like Wal-mart.  Think about that the next time you want to get some light bulbs or one of those low quality Lasko fans.  Shop at companies that give a shit about their workers like Costco.

[Swishypants]

one of those low quality Lasko fans.. .

LMFAO! That FUCKING FAN! That motherfucking FAN!!!

Henry Ford knew the score.  You pay employees well so they can buy your product.  We have a lot of CEO's that want to put salary caps on lower-wage workers but have no problem raking in millions for themselves.

Is this really what you think comprises the US economy?

No: that's what results from massive tax breaks for corporations and so called 'trickle down economics'.

Yes, a few companies have fired everyone and their executives have received bonuses.  Employees are the most valuable assets a company has, and for them to be fired is usually a last resort of a very poorly performing business.

Which planet do you live on? Shareholders are the first consideration for a big company. That is business law. Shareholders (and the private equity firms therein) decide what path the firm will take and if they decide the board is going to shed jobs, then jobs they're going to shed.

Sometimes the bonuses were predetermined in executive employment contracts, sometimes they were paid to cut costs and turn the company around, sometimes the only way to compete was to offshore or outsource, sometimes it was a complete travesty.  Offshoring is a problem, and usually a step a business feel compelled to take; but the rest is quite rare when ALL businesses in the economy are considered.

Were? This isn't history, it goes on today. Ask why Trump and his daughter have their shit made in South East Asia and the the far east...It isn't because they love America.

CEOs are paid what they are paid because the good ones are scarce and every company of any size needs one.  We can go into the skill set required, and why it's rare to find all the necessary skills in one person if you like.  And yes, some of it is because they sit on each other Boards and inflate each other's compensation.  But so what, while the pay looks huge, it's a tiny percentage of revenues and profits.  The companies themselves are better equipped to determine what executive pay should be than, say, you are.

Again, you use the past sense.

The evil ''Shareholders'' are mostly the middle class holding retirement accounts. 

Actually no. Most shareholders are Private pension companies and private equity/hedge fund firms (Many many foreign ones) . They're not evil, but neither do they have any love for the staff of the firms they hold shares in.

The only people making the same money they made 20 years ago are entry level employees, and others whose careers have stagnated.  My question would be why are the folks earning minimum wage still on the lowest rung of the ladder after 20 years, and why are the others expecting to be paid more over time for doing the same job?  The economy has grown considerably more complex over the past 20 years, a CEO is not ''doing the same job'' as they were 20 years ago.  But a cashier is.

Why? Because the firms they work for make it so (Small businesses excepted). You make it so over simplistic it isn't really worth trying to explain. You know don't you that in the last thirty or so years the gap between the very highest paid and the lowest has widened exponentially? In the 70's one half of a couple went to work, bought their home, ran a car, and had holidays...These days both HAVE to work, the percentage of their combined salaries is far higher to going to keep the roof over their heads, and many are living week to week.

Do yourself a favor and stop reading whatever it is you're reading when it comes to the economy.  You're being filled with bullshit.

Jesus fucking christ. Stop watching Fox. Grow up.
