Obama on Iran and inequality.

[Anarchist420]

1. He's telling Iran that the might bomb the hell out of them.

2. He apparently plans to override Congress in his attempt to reduce inequality since he says the President can do it.

Of course, he'll fail to reduce inequality because the State can't bring equality without hurting everyone (see Venezuela, the Soviet Union). Raising the top marginal rate has yielded the govt $60Bn in additional funds... a drop in the bucket compared to how much would have to spent to reduce income inequality.

He's quite dangerous IMO.

He has, however, increased inequality a little bit, especially for people who have been murdered by his drone strikes.

He bailed out the banks instead of doing nothing or bailing out people who lost their homes because they owed money.
His labor policies may increase wages but they won't help employment.
His stubborn refusal to end subsidies to the military industrial complex and big pharma.
His support for stronger Intellectual monopoly.
His support for the war on drugs.
raising the payroll tax.

Is he fucking joking or what?

A better example that highlights the contrasts of this statement is China and India. Especially when contrasting how China has pushed past India who still clings to that notion of equality and protectionism.

So much bullshit in these posts it's not even worth the time.
