  1. zaxx19 You're an idiot, and this country will be bankrupt because of this stupidity. 18 trillion dollars in debt, you can't afford big government. There is over 100 trillion in unfunded entitlements just to maintain the status quoe. It's unsustainable, you will suffer because of it . History always repeats itself because the uneducated, unskilled and irresponsible eventually outnumber the rest of us.

  2. zaxx19 Unless you enslave millionaires they will just leave the country, just the same thing happened with industry. Almost all industry has left because of taxes and regulation. Your generation will suffer from this lack of common sense and ignorance of the past.

  3. zaxx19 Good luck finding someone to pay your share of the debt. 18 trillion is enough to buy every family a really nice new home.

  4. zaxx19 First they need to do basic math to be able to see how screwed they are. Wealth isn't a stagnant thing. You need production or a service every time money exchanges hands for a robust economy, spreading the wealth devalues the currency encourages sloth and more dependency. Rich people invest in things that work that continue to produce goods an services that benefit everyone and because they are greedy it's done with much greater efficiency than government projects. The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world now. You idiots who say raise taxes don't know you're the ones paying them. Wal-Mart doesn't pay taxes , Oil Companies don't pay taxes etc etc , their customers pay ALL TAXES that means YOU.

  5. zaxx19 Yes basic math $250K per household and that's just the beginning. When Rome falls the wealthy will be gone overnight.  Do you still think corporate taxes should be raised ?

  6. zaxx19 When you and your neighbors figure out how the $250,000.00 for every household is going to be paid off and how the reckless wasteful government is going to be reigned in you might have some answers.  America is in decline like never before and people who know like to keep their heads in the sand, those who don't are ignorantly blissful.

  7. zaxx19 Hey fruit loop I'm the guy paying for your welfare check. It comes from other people, there is no such thing as government money. The unfunded liabilities amounting to more than $250,000.00 per person can't be paid by average people and the so called rich will bail when it collapses. That doesn't include the 18 trillion in national debt.  Get a real job and contribute to society while it still stands.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdS6fyUIklI

  8. zaxx19 I'm not worried about anything I'm not dependent on government like the crowd your talking about. When it collapses the US will be like those countries they fled from, poor and desperate. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results.  Your problem is basic economics and basic math, if most people are uneducated, unskilled and on welfare there aren't enough products and services to continue an economy. Printed money isn't wealth and without an economic engine you get third world poverty. It will be like the Weimar Republic.  Your racist BS means nothing to me, your an angry little punk who thinks you know something. In 18 years of Law Enforcement I must have put hundreds of your little asses in jail.

  9. zaxx19 Assumptions and contradictions, you mock "public servants" and praise those parasites who won't work and live off the tax dollar, hypocrisy . Liberals love to group people "you guys" "brown people" "rich people" "poor people"etc etc. Your racist leanings blind you to what is good and right about America. Once we start dividing ourselves as Black Americans, White Americans , Mexican Americans etc. it creates division and strife. America as it was intended is supposed to be a melting pot so my black neighbor would feel more bonded to me and our city than another person with the same skin color a thousand miles away. And I would feel the same way about injustice against a person of different color anywhere especially a fellow American.  For the past decade I've owned my own business, pay my contractors up to $12,000 a week, worth every penny to our customers. I believe economics should always be viewed from  the consumer's point of view. If a person is valuable to society they will be paid accordingly in a free market encouraging more to be valuable. Our system of crony capitalism, corrupt unions, and outrageous lawsuits is a disservice to consumers and the working man and woman.  You mention education and I agree everyone should have a good publicly funded basic education. The bureaucratic mess we have now is more about politicians and teachers unions than educating children. I advocate for a voucher system and open free market private schools like colleges. Parents of poor children could send their children to any school of their choosing and competition would ensure a results oriented program judged by local and national testing. The last thing I want is poor children staying uneducated.  Higher Education should be more affordable not subsidized. I liked the college atmosphere and traditions but that is not education. Weekend and online courses should be encouraged by potential employers , maybe some sort of sponsorship system encouraged by tax breaks.  Finally on immigration, legal immigration. Shouldn't new immigrants  be productive members of society, valuable to American consumers filling a need and purpose in return for self esteem and cohesiveness to their new chosen society?  I don't care what color you are or where you came from if your going to be an American then be an American, be productive and valuable to your community. "Judge others by the content of their character not the color of their skin."  MLK

  10. zaxx19 I don't even watch fox. You can't see whats right in front of your face.  Would you allow someone to break into your house take over your bedroom and eat your food ? I hope they do and you better not call them parasites, but that's what they are.  There are two basic types of people who in their lifetime are either a benefit to their neighbors and country or parasites who could contribute but pretend their burden on others is justified.  Private police and military , are you stupid ? Those are two areas that government is effective.  Once again consumer oriented economics is the best approach. Not every area in the country can or should pay the same wages for the same job, comparative cost of living is the determining factor. If a town can find competent police officers for 23K then thats what it should pay, however if they can't then it's time to raise wages until the positions are filled by competent people. It's just common sense, which I don't expect you to understand.

  11. zaxx19 No one is this STUPID (except maybe you , ha ha ) , to compare public servants to welfare cases, mostly low life parasitic scum. Only an idiot would want to import failure.

  12. alfredkwaak Capitalism , free market capitalism, is the freedom individuals have to participate in transacting in commerce. So I ask you what is freedom to you ?  I object to the current system, I call crapitalism or crony capitalism in which wealthy people and groups of people are in bed with corrupt politicians. This is not Capitalism. My detractors think we should just turn it all over to corrupt politicians to run as they see fit. They are so ignorant they can't see the benefits of real capitalism with controls on corrupt business and politicians. The anti-capitalists want to take away the freedom of the individuals in society to give it to politicians  to punish those abusers of power.  A free individual walks into my business, I work on his vehicle, he pays me when he's satisfied with the work. Affordable and efficient , both parties are happy. That is success.

  13. zaxx19 I love how ignorant you are mentioning nazis and advocating for socialism. NAZI means National Socialist Party , as left wing big government controlling as you can get. Now fascism commonly associated with Nazis is mistaken for a right wing political ideology, its not. Fascism is a methodology and used by all kinds of political ideologies like Socialism. If you like president obama overturning the laws in this country to proclaim amnesty , you are supporting Fascism, and it doesn't surprise me. To recap you hate nazi fascists but that's exactly what you are supporting. Remember what I said about importing failed uneducated thinking.

  16. Tervaification In the US it was a hell of a lot less expensive before government got involved.

  17. alfredkwaak Yes if they pay a ton of taxes as he has said.  The government uses socialism to spend and waste money and yes it is statism, not mutually exclusive. 
    1
  18. alfredkwaak My objection is some people living off of other people. Forget labels, there is no pure socialism and no pure capitalism. When people don't work to pay for their own property and they don't contribute to society through reasonable taxes, I object . We currently have a system that 50% pay no federal income tax and a large majority get money for having children documented on their statement. I'm talking about $5,000.00 per child in some instances . It's called EIC, it's welfare. I pay my taxes and they just give it  away and demand more. 
    1
  19. alfredkwaak I can't defend the system we have presently, it's not capitalism and it's not a functioning Republic. It is an out of control federal government using mob democracy to grow and maintain power. If they can convince the mob  to support it, or at least not resist it, it becomes the law of the land, in spite of the limitations of the Constitution. Corrupt politicians lining their pockets and paying their constituents with money meant to benefit the country as a whole. If liberalism worked economically then why are the bluest states in the worst financial shape? Places like Chicago , run by liberals for decades, is in horrible shape financially. An experiment that keeps repeating with the same results.        The kind of irresponsible socialism creeping into this country is producing 18 trillion dollars of debt and 120 trillion in unfunded liabilities. With a population of 320 million that is not only unsustainable but sure destruction in the future. 138 trillion is $431,250 per person or about 2.5 million dollars per household.

  20. alfredkwaak Ok ignore every single bit of history we know.   You believe in managing people not allowing them to be free.   Free Market Capitalism and the industrialization of the United States made it the greatest super power the world has ever known. Only the thousands of laws and regulations and taxes has put it in a state of decline.  Income equality ??? How about merit based pay as in a Free Market. The customer decides to redistribute his money based on the best value for his hard earned money. The alternative is like the automobiles produced in the Soviet Union , ugly , underperforming, utilitarian POS. You can't tell me when you buy a product it's based on income equality.  People are not the same some are smart, some are strong , others are not so bright and a lot of people are just lazy. If you hire someone to paint your house would you pay $20/ hr regardless of the quality, or progress ?  Only if your a fool, that's income equality. We already have laws on the books preventing discrimination and if an employee is mistreated he or she can take their complaint to a civil court and have a jury of their peers determine if they are due any further compensation.  I also wouldn't worry about the "poor" in this country. They have homes, new vehicles, cell phones and more food than anyone can eat. My Cuban friend was telling me about all the food thrown out at the local church because the "poor" didn't want it.

  21. alfredkwaak Your assumption of the current system here is wrong. The problem with the medical system is poor people. For many years now poor people could walk into an ER and get free treatment. It has been a deception that people are not getting treatment because they are poor. The hospital and doctors have to pass that cost onto the paying customers and that has ballooned over the years. The lazy freeloading MF's in this country are the reason things are so expensive.    Markets work and they are about as fair as any system. Doctors refusing to treat people won't stay in business. If it becomes too costly even though there is demand there won't be any customers. Markets are in the hands of providers and customers. Politicians deciding what is fair and who gets what is the most inefficient system and most unfair. If my business was socialized you wouldn't get 10% of the work I normally perform and that is the problem with socialism.

  22. alfredkwaak YOU are right, distributing cost to the next customer is wrong !!!! Insurance  carries this risk through voluntary participation. It was affordable and worked very well until obamacare . Those who got medical care should have to pay for it, and that would encourage people to purchase insurance.

  23. 7h3647h32in6 Stating facts, 17 trillion in debt at this point. Every American born now owes $750,000.00 to accomplish the socialistic goal past and future debt on this path. Socialism only works when people are comfortable in a much less prosperous country . You can see with your own eyes how spreading the wealth works to elect politicians. Continuing on this path will cause a collapse of the economic system in this country. FACT

  24. boptillyouflop You present a logical argument however Free Market forces cannot be denied in a free society, because free market forces are the very motivation that causes individuals to be productive in a society. We don't need more busy work employees to redistribute wealth. The Free Market is the most efficient means of wealth redistribution and the best economy.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VogzExP3qhI

  26. Elem Oki Awe common ground a rare thing these days. It's amazing because all the hard work done to keep people divided and at odds. It's the only reason we have just two parties in power, people are polarized into one camp or the other. What do you think of Dr Ben Carson ?

  28. Jose Echevarria Properly regulated capitalism is not akin to socialism and communism. The difference is individual freedom. I believe in a small safety net for those who truly need it but today's 18 Trillion dollar debt and the unfunded social liabilities of 120 Trillion will break this country. That is about a half a million dollars of debt for every citizen in the US. Illegals flooding in and taking advantage of the safety net will accelerate this destruction. Who is going to pay your part of this debt ? Your children will certainly suffer for these "benefits" of socialism you enjoy now.

I have paid my contractors up to $12,000 a week each when business is good. I doubt they would embrace your socialist idiocracy.

  36. Aditya Saha I prefer a Constitutional Republic where socialist masterminds can't rearrange society whenever they want. History has shown unchecked power is always corrupted. The United States is in decline , the system of checks and balances have been abdicated and a cult of personality has the opposition nearly willing to go along to get along. Government is completely irresponsible with 18 trillion dollars of debt and 120 trillion dollars of unfunded promises. Our traitorous president has encouraged unskilled poor deseased immigrants to illegally enter the country with the promise of freebies for votes. The economic byproduct of a free society is capitalism. It is the most powerful motivator for people to work. If Joe Socialist and Bob Capitalist compete , Bob will always work harder, longer and happier. That being said any compassionate society has to have a safety net for people who really need it. That's not the case in America anymore, too much welfare has created a dependent class who's lives for the most part seem meaningless, and unproductive. In the cities this creates a culture of crime and hopelessness. I personally am never happier than when I'm working and I can't imagine a life of continueous poverty in a social cell block that punishes self betterment and robs from achievement.

  39. Aditya Saha There is no pure capitalism but I prefer maximum freedom to forced collectivism  and there is no place on the planet that socialism comes without government force. If Bob waits for his neighbor Joe to help him he won't achieve his goals.  Part of the issue I have is the definition of socialism. In America socialism is viewed as welfare, some people living as parasites off of others. If socialism means you have to carry your own equivelent weight most the time I would be for that. If welfare recipients had to pay back their free ride , I would be for that.  I'm not against voluntary socialism, we call that charity and corporation.

  40. Aditya Saha My friend, common sense keeps us from falling off cliffs, don't ignore it. To put it into perspective if the United States pays it's debt and all of it's unfunded liabilities (promises) not including the interest, it would be equal to writing a check to every citizen for $500,000.00 dollars. The government doesn't produce revenue, people do, so that means everyone owes half a million dollars to just maintain this lifestyle. If the debt continues and or the interest rate climbs we could owe twice as much or more. We have an idiot president claiming we owe the debt to ourselves and no one should be concerned. This is ignorance on display for the whole world to see and at some point the world will abandon the dollar and America will cease to exist, financially.

  41. Craig Smith I have a good friend who came from Cuba with Crohns disease he would be dead if he had stayed in communist Cuba. He says lifting the embargo will enrich the government and friends of the government but encourage the suppression of the people by the government.  It is a foolish move to encourage any kind of Communism. People like you believe what you want in spite of the facts. I don't see your hero fat ass michael moore moving any time soon to Cuba.

  42. Tahuan Tinsuyo Communism puts people last and government first and healthcare is akin to the vehicles the people drive. I have a Russian friend also, do you remember the kind of crappy cars they had in the soviet union ? Communist healthcare is going to look at an expensive illness just like Canada , they can cure a million people with a minor illness by sacrificing one person with an expensive one. The good of the many outweigh the needs of a few. Only a fool would expect a communist regime or any government to care about their needs as much as they do themselves. 
    1
  43. Craig Smith I like philosophy as much as the next guy and I understand why people believe in religion and a system of government and cooperation that seems fair and just. In practice is where we see the failures of such government systems.  "Communisms goal is to kill off the government completely and live in a governmentless society as well as a classless society. " I think your confusing Communism with Marxism but in every Communist experiment we know, the force of government is the only thing that keeps it together including borders that keep people in as well as out. The only fairness in Communism is equal misery for the non-government class. I know because I have friends from Russia and Cuba.  My "ignorance" of the dream, pales in comparison to your ignorance of the practice, history and reality . This is an elemental difference between liberals and conservatives.I don't think all liberals are mindless emotional machines nor do I believe all conservatives are brilliant . I think we can agree that more government is less freedom. I would rather have Freedom and the responsibility to take care of myself and help my neighbors voluntarily than live in a cell block of fairness and equality defined by government. Take my advice , stop looking through rose colored glasses and examine the results of these experiments . Forget all the "good" intents. Take your own advice and read about the other side of these philosophies, I recommend "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin, a very serious historian. This is the most comprehensive book on anything I've ever read.

  44. atlas42185 Your father did what a good American would and I wouldn't begrudge him the meager amount of unemployment he had coming to him. The problem is people who abuse the system.  America is failing the national debt of 17 trillion combined with unfunded liabilities of over 120 trillion WILL bankrupt this country. 
    1
  45. atlas42185 What percentage of your life is spent earning money to pay taxes ????? I'll bet you don't even pay income taxes as a lot of people don't. I could have bought a real  nice house with the taxes I've paid in the last 5 years.  My young idealist, government spending has dramatically increased in the last 15 years and that is the reason for the huge debt, google it.  While you are at it google welfare fraud and government waste in general. It's not a myth, there is a grade school across the street from my shop in a low income area. Most of the children are met by parents (who should be at work) when they get out of school. These families are on welfare, about one third of them can't speak English.  The only myth is the one in your head. You pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year and then come tell me taxes are too low.  I'll bet you want to raise taxes on corporations too. You fool, who do you think pays for those taxes ????? YOU DO !!!! The consumer pays all taxes. Shop at Wal-Mart or buy gasoline , you pay the taxes.  I read recently that the top 1 % of wage earners pay something like half of all the income taxes in this country. They also build business, products and employ many people. Lets just take more of their money, they will leave the country taking their businesses, products and jobs. It's already happening and when we've chased them all off this will be a 3rd world country. Your Santa Clause government won't have anything to offer anyone because it is also a welfare case depending on other people's money.

  46. stupidplants Good question, it was precisely because of creeping socialism. The banking industry had been subverted by GSE's (Government Sponsored Entities) Freddy Mac , Fanny May etc. The intent was to give more people with less ability to pay,  loans for homes (more high risk loans). This is social engineering amuck as it usually is. The idea was to share the risk with the tax payer (government money) and bet the loans would be paid off. The private market always to make money on these ventures also so huge packages of these loans were sold on the open market (after all the government was backing them). As things go people began defaulting on their payments this caused fear in the market and you have the bubble bursting in 2008. It was socialism, government social engineering .  The only reason things appear to be going well is the Fed (non- governmental group of international banks) hasn't raised interest rates AND government through printing and borrowing money has artificially pumped the markets with debt, 17 Trillion dollars. That is about 1.1 million for every tax payer. How long can you live on your credit card before bad things happen?  The economy is going over a cliff soon because of irresponsible government social engineering, socialism.

  47. Stephan Toth "working class principles and snobbery"  ???? As opposed to no work principals and envy ?  I like working, and I'm proud I'm not a burden on my neighbor's family. Socialism is all about dependence and enslaving, restricting the successful. I can see it's appeal to the underbelly of society.

  48. Stephan Toth I don't need any of this conspiracy crap, I have worked hard all my life and have just about everything I want, that's real and I earned it. I am more concerned about the filthy poor than the filthy rich taking what I have to enable their lazy lifestyles (some deserve help but most are freeloaders). 
    1
  49. Stephan Toth Knee jerk as I expected, now apply that to filthy rich. In the land of liberal group think all poor people are virtuous and anyone with means cheated someone else, this is the philosophy of the weak minded, shallow devoid of critical thinking and emotionally gutless. The truth always lays somewhere in-between where, there is definitely filthy rich and filthy poor. Those people are contemptible because of their character not their current financial status.  This type of social engineering (socialism) is counterproductive to lifting the poor out of their situation. By providing a means of living at no personal cost , the "poor" become comfortable and feel safe in their poverty. No longer exposed to intense motivation to better themselves they are happy with the status quo  and justified by people like you who replace the shame of being a burden on society with the honor of victim virtue.  Speaking of famous sayings,"The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. "Jesus never advocated for government solutions in fact Revelations equated governments of men with beasts. (yes I studied eschatology)  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Republican) once said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Content of character is how we should judge people not by the money in their bank account.  Here is a thought, maybe the life we get is the life we deserve, karma..............
