it was a civil war that was aided by the us to help reduce the spread of communism.

wealth and power aren't only enabled through lobbying, which i havent seen trump saying anything against
it predominantly has to do with the gigantic unequal distribution of wealth and the consolidation of essential / powerful industries like the media down to a few companies
trump wants to make economic inequality even worse by having the wealthiest pay even less than they do now
bernie is/was truly the only one for tackling this serious issue
|

|
correct zep
im saying that south vietnam was formed by anti-communist leaders in the area with the aide of france, almost like a secession similar to the US civil war |
|
|
"trump wants to make economic inequality even worse by having the wealthiest pay even less than they do now"
Everyone pays less if you actually read his plan, the incredibly poor don't pay at all |
|

i'd agree that income inequality is a problem if mobility was declining as well
but its been stable the past 20 years so |

everyone pays less
so little in fact it will run the government into deficit large enough that even dismantling the military altogether won't help to pay for anything
it just so happens that those who are rich will pay disproportionately far less than those who are not, further attributing to the problem of income inequality |

the governments goal isnt to bomb out entire citys lol

economic mobility? huh?
why is that important to you in relation to income inequality?
did you know that the more income inequality a country has the more immobility it has? |

quick research tells us the u.s. has the second most income immobility in the first world
wanna guess which countries rank the highest in mobility once again?
do you? |
|
|
"did you know that the more income inequality a country has the more immobility it has?"
then how come if income inequality has been increasing in the US mobility has remained stable the past 20 years
economic mobility is the measure of how quickly/easily one can move up the chain economically. so if mobility is fine, then everyone still has the opportunity to advance up into the higher echelons of economic prosperity.
one you see immobility coming up then you have a serious problem because people in the lower classes are physically unable to create a better life for themselves in terms of economics
but thankfully it's remained the same, around 20% getting to the top 1/5th i think |

did your "quick research" account for data as pre-taxes or post-taxes |

'a tiny group of people possesses all of the means of controlling the masses, but this isnt an issue to the economy or the political environment because people have the same tiny chance of breaking into the top 1 percent as they did 20 years ago'
wow amazing argument |
|
|
"have the same tiny chance"
actually 11% of people in the bottom 1/5th made it to the top quintile, and 64% of the people in the same bottom 1/5th elevated from that stance in general
it's the same the other way around pretty much, 8% of the people in the top quintile fell to the bottom.

The main reason guerilla worked in Vietnam was because troops weren't used to that type of terrain plus the fact that they were on ENEMY SOIL.
American soldiers are TRAINED here, they know the terrain here, plus we have agencies like the Geopatial-Intelligence agency that can map out terrain and find hideouts. So...yea. |

link me citations for your figures
|
|
|
Full out civil war starts with small groups of insurgencies. They can easily be wiped out with a drone and the government is more effective now a days then back in the days. |
|
|
qwerty you can't bring up the enemy soil argument then ignore the fact that the revolutionaries would be significantly closer, concealed, and dangerous compared to the vietcong.
profiling wont be possible and people would be able to blend in without ANY problems |

here's a simplified version of it

the conclusion of the report wasn't drawn until it was combined with other reports from other researchers in the late 2007-2009 |
