Republican vs Democrat

Removing the commemorative Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th from the Mint website is far from the most egregious erasure of the insurrection, but it is another sign of deep disrespect.

I doubt any company pays 21% and 21% is a joke to begin with. The Avg worker pays more than that.

Well, we are not country we were in the 50s 60s and it's been downhill since the late 70's. Capitalism has moved on to China as GDP shows. So not sure what history you are using.

What you have here is financialization and monopoly, service sector jobs no benefits and part time, and as I told you, now they are coming for SS as the vid I posted above shows.

Go ahead and say its the government, because the government is run by a bunch of billionaires.

There would be a reason to invest here if it was easier to make money here than Mexico or China. We've been through this before, everyone agrees with the concept behind supply side economics. Corporations are outsourcing to Mexico and China to take advantage of lower costs of business. Those lower costs of business mean bigger corporate profits. All supply siders want to do is lower the cost in America and allow us to undercut Mexico, China, and other countries like Canada, Korea, Japan, Germany, England, etc, and have those jobs, factories, and investments made over here. Trader Joe's sells a lot of its brand products. I don't know the exact supply chain for it, but they could own their own farms.

So what if the average worker pays over 21%. Are you trying to do what's best for America or hammer corporations even if it will hurt America?

That's true, we weren't what we were in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, but as I've pointed out before, we had a military draft that acted as a de facto trade school for a lot of the men in this country. Here's the Pew Research study that shows households headed by a military vet with a high school diploma or less make about 35%-40% more money than households headed by someone who isn't a vet with the same education. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-re...-non-veterans/We also had much of the rest of the world reeling from WW2, going into communism like the USSR or China, or democratic socialism like India, or they were under the threat of being invaded by a communist country, like the places in W Europe.

What we have is an education system that fails 80% of the people that go through it because there's little political profit to be made by fixing it. If instead of English Literature and Composition, PE, art classes, etc., we taught trades and got kids associate certificates by the time they graduated high school, they'd be making much more money and we'd have a higher quality of life. Do you know why we can't? The NEA is dead set against it, and the democrats take orders from the NEA, and if they couldn't run on class warfare, what do they have left? Defund the police, men can get pregnant, women dressing up like Handmaiden's Tale extras, repeal the industrial revolution, & open the borders. That's not a winning strategy.

The funny thing is that in the 1800s, we were known around the world as the Land of Opportunity, and tens of millions of people willingly got on boats and willingly moved here. They didn't do that to be exploited, they did it because we created the highest standards of living up to that point in history. If you disagree, tell me where it was better and why people were moving here and not there.

The so called Department of Government Efficiency is composed of unvetted outsiders who have forced their way into the government’s most protected systems without care or consideration for the safeguards created by Congress to keep your data safe.

They're also reportedly using AI to decide what critical public services and programs to cut, opening up your personal information to enormous cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Trump is destroying the incredible economy Biden handed him.

The only reason economists are not screaming it from the rooftops is fear of reprisal from what is clearly a vengeance obsessed, fascist authoritarian regime.

So to be clear, the economy of 2019, with the lowest poverty rate in history, had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with what he inherited from Obama. Obama losing millions of jobs his first year had nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with what he inherited from Bush. The economy of February 2025, less than 2 weeks after Trump took over from Biden, has nothing to do with Biden and everything to do with Trump, despite Trump not passing any major economic legislation. We had an inverted yield curve for 2 years under Biden, and every prior quarterly inversion preceded a recession, but ignore that, it's all Trump's fault!

It's always been a class war and only the 1% thought the 1800's was a great time.

Maybe watch Gangs of New York it's pretty close to how life was at that time.

Oh yes, a movie is never wrong and always historically accurate. I'll give you a little credit, at least you didn't tell me to watch War of the Worlds.

Please answer the following questions:

Why did all those people willingly move here?

Why did those people then send for their friends and family to join them, not rescue them and bring them back home?

Where was it better for the average person at the time in history?

Why did those people move here and not there?

The setting and way of life are historically accurate.

Maybe all that's true, but even if it was. It doesn't make the 1800's a great time in history.

Your argument is like choosing a bullet to head or a bullet to the stomach. Its nonsensical.

Where was it better up to that point in history? Your whole criticism seems to be that free market capitalism didn't fix what was before it fast enough, so we need to revert to something that has a worse track record and tweak it until we get utopia. Don't refuse the best real option for the ideal false option.

What foods do you hate, Hicks? My argument is like eating that for a while, and over time, your food will get better, or you can eat poison.

Oligarchy is not capitalism and monopoly is game over.

No, your argument is regression when humans should progress.

Capitalism is what happens when people have a lot of individual freedom and private property rights. How many monopolies can you name that happened without government intervention and protection? I can think of 1, Alcoa Aluminum, and it came about because it was able to operate at such a low price, no company could afford to enter the market to compete with them. One of the best ways to prevent monopolies is through free trade.

My argument is the most progressive, we should protect individual freedom and private property rights. That's the best way to increase the standard of living for people.

There won't be blood in the streets when the average people are doing better than they've ever done before if we would adopt a more capitalist system.
