if you discuss it when you are poor, you're bitter. If you discuss it when you are doing alright you're envious. if you discuss it when you are rich, you are a hypocrite. Let's just lay it out honestly like Rick Barnes and admit that some people don't want it talked about ever under any circumstance. it's that simple.
It was the same with Kaepernick and the kneeling players. They should shut up because they are rich, but no one would give a shit if they were poor. Oh, and it's disrespectful, too, to the military, for some silly reason, I'm not sure. It's merely a way to avoid a substantive discussion, like Sanders getting some money and not being able to advocate for poor Americans anymore.
can't make up shit about hating rich people and wanting to steal people's wealth as easily, when the advocate is rich and isn't looking to abolish wealth.
Oh my God, this dude is running around talking about socialism and redistribution of wealth, mean time he's sitting on a mound of money as tall as his lake house. Give that shit away, give it to the poor. No one needs that much money. Right?
Kaepernick was sitting on the bench pouting like a little [unt cay] because he was a shit quarterback. He could give a single shit about social injustice until he got called out about being a little [unt cay] while the national anthem was playing.
I'm neither rich nor poor, I think he should put his money where his mouth is. Give that wealth to people that need it
Until the system is fixed, you most definitely need a large mound of money. I have zero political love for any of the people in that picture, however. I think their politics are, at best, dumb.
Ok, can he now stop running around talking about redistributing wealth, because what he really wants to do is distribute it in his pocket?
this take is not rational, and it goes back to it not mattering what one's situation being in being criticized for talking about income inequality. who can talk about income inequality, kmf? who has your approval to?
Then who can talk about it without being a hypocrite? Not piling on you, here, but I think this is an interesting discussion because if we cannot talk about it without anger rising in everyone, it is useless. And you may say you are not angry, and so be it, but the reaction seems to stem from anger based on what you see as just and how people are somehow claiming you don't deserve what you have. And I understand it, because that anger rises up in me as well. But I also know that there are a LOT of people out there that "just get a job and work hard like me" are not viable answers.
Bernie Sanders has more than I do, I want what he has, and there is no reason for him to have so much.
Other than the fact that this isn't true, it demonstrates my point. Either he's right or he's not. All this ancillary shit is pointless and the type of typical attack on the individual rather than discussing the actual issue at hand.
I don't think there is a problem with income inequality. But, when you're rich, and you lecture poor people that the rich are not doing their share from the couch on your lake house, it just doesn't mean much to me.
