US billionaires' fortunes have skyrocketed $845 billion since March

Civilisation comes with a price tag.

Of course, you could and should move to Somalia..

 

real economists call what Reagan did flood up, not trickle down.

so you've given up entirely on reality.

 

No.

 

I've been to Somalia, and came back home. Have you been to Somalia?

 

Thank the FED for handing the banks $3trillion since february.
Where do you think this money goes?

 

Definition of civilization
1a : a relatively high level of cultural and technological development
specifically : the stage of cultural development at which writing and the keeping of written records is attained
b : the culture characteristic of a particular time or place

The state, let alone the welfare state, is not a necessary component of civilization; as such, your statement has no basis in fact.

 

Been to a dozen, not that one.

Civilisation still comes with a price tag, and there are still places that will charge you little or nothing in taxes.

How about the South Pole? No taxes ever...

 

It would help if you knew what you were talking about.

The Modern World is a long story of the state picking up responsibilities to keep things going.

 

Your continued inability to present a meaningful response is, as always, well-noted.

 

and no civilization.

 

That would be my point.

 

You were making a point? Escaped me entirely

 

In that case, I can only refer you to the second line in my signature, since it applies directly to your response.

 

I've been to France. Pretty much the same thing, except the Somalis smell better.

 

That's not surprising.

 

The enlightened, tolerant, progressive liberal Democrat you certainly are!

 

See my post #191

 

And they've gone up under Trump, right?

 

Once again, I'm sure that you will be more than capable of supporting your claim. You have before, so why stop now?

 

"The best government money can buy".

 

I'm tolerating you, that's saying something.

 

Your refusal to even read a linked article says volumes about you, none of it good. You are, in fact, choosing ignorance on the issue.

 

No, not significantly.

 

Of course. Do I look like a rightie to you?

 

Stop patting yourself on the back, Ima harmless, lovable fuzzball, what is there to tolerate?
