  1. "The two times the economy steered into the ditch (Great Depression and Great Recession) were during Republican, laissez faire administrations." Not true. One, Hoover did not practice laissez faire. Next, recessions happen, how we recover is key. Under FDR and Obama was saw the slowest recovery from a recession ever.

  2. They can't walk into that bar as most likely, in a free market, that bar has been shut down due to lack of business.

  3. Because people who do lean right do so because they want limited government. There are many reasons why people support that. Throughout history the most oppressive entity has always been government, period. Not businesses or some random gang of people, but government. There is a desire to have government, but we need to limit it.

  4. " I would rather have a government rule me, at least that way I can actually influence their decisions through petitions, and protests. " If they rule you than you can't influence them. I want government to serve me, not rule me. "Limiting government is fine, completely destroying it is not." No one is suggesting doing away with government. Too much government is just as bad as no government though. "Trump and his administration has since day one actively destroyed every regulation designed to protect the air you breath." That is not true. We have too many regulations right now and it is hindering economic growth. "Businesses, are a very different story... They don't need to listen to their employees, " They do or no one will work for them. "and if you let them get away with whatever they want, we will all be making little more than 2$ an hour with 16 hours a day." Only around 3% of workers earn at or below the min. wage. The average hourly earnings is around $24/hr. Businesses have the option to pay less, they don't though. If what you said is true than the vast majority of the country will be earning the min. wage as opposed to just 3%.

  5. "For one thing, it is very hard to keep people happy when their is no money to go around, The great depression is the worst recession in american history, and there is a reason why that man got elected 3 times in a row... " Two things. One, people do not value money, they value goods and services. The issue was that FDR and Obama spent money that did not create goods and services. Next, the fact that FDR got elected multiple times means nothing. Since 1900 only 6 presidents did not serve a second term, two were because they died. Out of the four you had Carter, where the country hit a recession under him. Same with Hoover. And Bush lied about the tax increase and went to war (I can't account for the other president). FDR was elected during a recession and promised growth. He did not deliver until almost 8 years later and only because of the war. But the US is a very forgiving country and was willing to be patient with him much like they did under Obama. The incumbent always has the advantage and FDR and Obama both were elected to fix something so people were patient. "but guess who caused the recession to occur in the first place, " Natural economic growth caused it. Now what regulations were destroyed?
