Krugman Demanded a Housing Bubble

[Clanrickard]

It's a proven theory now - even those AT THE TOP in more egalitarian societies do better than those at the tope in less egalitarian societies, regardless of GDP per capita.

Inequality is bad for all of us.

Coded socialist gibberish for taking your hard earned cash and doling it out to the less deserving.

I do not believe in the redistribution of wealth and consider it theft.

I make what I earn, some earn more than me and some earn less.

tax should pay for the states bills, education , gardai etc, even roads should be paid for via tax on petrol .

Yes...coded socialist gibberish.

Pity its based on indisputable epidemiological evidence then, isn't it?!

See, it doesn't really matter what you believe in because the redistribution of wealth will lead to a happier healthier society. You may believe something else, but you are believing rubbish.

Your "life experience" obviously hasn't taught you as much as you think it has.

Well I don't have any major health problems and where I live I don't see too many social problems, because all of my neighbours take responsibility for themselves and their children and keep their noses out of other peoples business.

Yeah lucky you. You happen to live in Blackrock by any chance?!

I don't care where you live, there is evidence that even if you are at the top of society, you will do better in an egalitarian society.

How many times do I have to repeat the same line before it sinks in?

Oh yeah, I forgot, you Austrian economists don't believe in evidence, do you?!

I might not be happier to see my hard earned mula been handed out to dossers,some people work harder than others and deserve higher rewards.If some young buck or wan wants to sit on his/her arse all day and blame society for his/her sh1te life ,I certainly do not want to pay for it.

Big crowd in from the very cosy South Dublin suburbs by the sounds of it, with nice oxcents and thanks to mummy and doddy everything is just splendid... FFS, you guys haven't a notion what the real world is like outside your ideal little bubble universe.

you say so sarahj so we must all follow your way of thinking.I happen to live in the arsehole of mayo if you must know,but when I lived in Dublin I lived in Castleknock ,to afford the shoebox I scrimped and saved bought it when I was 21(big clap on the back) and didn't asked any one for a sub.I come from a background of graft and honesty ,if you work hard you get rewarded if not buy a lifejacket and hope there's a boat in sight before you sink.
As for the Austrians ,I would have them any day,than to listen to altruistic lying politicos and rotten begrudging media.

I guess you're entitled to an opinion, even if its contradicted by evidence.
