American wealth distribution - is this a problem

[vinylgroover]

It's about self motivation.

Last time i checked education was free in most western democracies.

Funny how you see those living in the lowest socio-economic quaters wearing new adidas trainers, nike track tops etc etc, obviously a difference in priorities. Education is the key. You can't force someone to educate themselves, but then that person shouldn't expect a living either.

You constantly here of people on these very boards gloating about the fact they are unemployed yet they have the time to sit on the internet for hours.

The major difference in the 20's and 30's was that the world economy was nowhere near as dependant on manufacturing, therefore, i highly doubt we will ever see that sort of social fallout again. The labour force of today is far more mobile and adaptable as is the world economy.

Yes, half the country that is under $26k is lazy and indigent. That must be it.

90% of the country is under $80,000 per year. 80K is not really that much.

what ?????????? 80k is not that much ? Hell with 80k a year, you could easily afford a nice appartment, a BMW X5 (they cost around 40 000$ here) and have a luxurious life. Damn I'm not even making 60k a year and I have a pretty good life. SOunds like I should move there soon.....

Furthermore, it pisses me off that people who came from where I did complain about needing more government assistance. I didn't get any of that while growing up and since I wasn't a "minority" I couldn't get any of the scholarships either.... except for a $3,000 college grant that I got for being low-income..... I had to pay for everything myself!

i doubt it. Welfare is ingrained in the american system. I'll bet that your college was paid for 2/3 by the state. I assume you got an in-state engineering degree.

the big welfare rolls are medicaid/medicare & social security. If you aren't on them then i guess you aren't in the 'big' welfares. But aside from those 2 welfare is mainly chump change.

supposedly 10 million people make minimum wage. 32 million are in poverty.

My brother & his wife (when he was in grad school) got by on 1k a month post tax income. That was to support 2 people. of course their cars were paid off and they had no kids or luxuries. You don't need oodles of money to be financially secure, after a point you can probably get by just fine if you aren't luxury obsessed & status obsessed.

and, i don't know if education is the cure all. it helps escape the blue collar & minimum wage workers, but education will probably put you in to 40-70k a year range.
