  1. CODfanboylover You are right, we need a stronger middle class. You don't do that by giving money away, you do that by creating wealth. Giving money away simply promotes laziness and hinders wealth growth.

  2. thewanderandhiscomp The rich don't just hold onto their money. The rich either invest it or save it in banks where the banks use that money for loans or other investment. If all it took was simply giving money away then why not just write poor people $20,000 checks? Why do people have 2 jobs? People have always had multiple jobs. But also you have to look at the fact that with more regulations and taxes it has hindered economic growth. You need to retake Econ. 101 and you need to learn what money is. Right now you clearly know little of both.

  3. thewanderandhiscomp Income has not been stagnate since Reagan. Productivity is up due to technology, not workers working harder. And productivity has always been going up.

  4. Tyler Desrosiers In the private you have profits. With profits you have the ability to invest and create wealth. That is why people will get involved in the business. With taxes you eventually run out of resources due to no investment.

  5. Tyler Desrosiers The internet is where it is at because of the private sector. Same is with microwaves. The private sector expanded and made the internet the way it is because of competition. The greatest inventions we have had has come from the private sector due to competition. You name a handful of things the government has done and out of those they have become better due to the private sector. Profit motive is what generates wealth.

  6. thewanderandhiscomp They would come if we stop putting road blocks in front of them. Remove federal regulations, simplify the tax code, and go back to state rights and we will be far better off.

  7. Tyler Desrosiers The internet would have existed because a company would have found a way to create it. Generating wealth if progressing us by creating better goods and services at a more affordable price. Profit is what generates wealth. It makes people strive for better. If there isn't a profit involved people won't care to make better, take public education or the post office for example. Regulations are too high. I am not opposed to regulations done at the state level, but at the federal level they are too high and hinder growth. Safety and work conditions were improving before regulations came into place. With state rights you have more control over the government. You and I have very little control of the federal government, and assuming that we live in different states we live completely different lives. I lived in one state for 24 years and I now live in another 2000 miles away and the differences are huge. You can't establish a one size fits all policy. State rights are the way to go.

  8. Tyler Desrosiers "You included at least four different logical fallacies in a sixteen word sentence." As in what? "Ok, so somehow profit makes people work harder and makes people better off." Do you work for free? If so than you are a rarity. Everyone I know works for something, that is a profit. The more profit they can get the harder the work. "Again, how is unregulated capitalism somehow subjectively better than socialism? " Socialism doesn't work on the large scale. It creates an entitlement society. Why should I work hard if the person next to me benefits with less effort? It falls apart because you run out of other people's money. When nobody wants to work then what do you do? "And again, what respect do you have if say the entire state of North Dakota were to suddenly elect communists and 'nationalize' their resources?" I don't live in ND, so I don't care. " The period leading up to what is seen as the unionization of the work force in the US is also marked by the spread of protections within US laws during and after this time. There is also a long, slow coincident breakdown of worker's rights as moneyed interests take over media and government. Expecting a safer outcome with a complete lack of regulation is laughable. " Without regulations workplaces got safer and people earned more money. Due to regulation people ended up getting less money due to expensive regulations and taxes. "Again, what is the difference between 'federal' and 'state' level politics? " I told you, representation, so basically a lot. You can vote for a handful of federal politicians, you can vote for a larger portion of state politicians. You also can move to another state and remain a US citizen. Why should people in FL pass domestic laws that effect people in Washington? We are too diverse to create a one size fits all policy. And state laws are easier to change. "What is your opinion of a state that allows for slavery?" Banned by the constitution which restricts all governments. "What about one that nationalizes resources?" Doesn't exist. "What do you do when the people that have been paying to indoctrinate you are trying to impose their ideology onto a nation with far less people or far less land mass than the US?" The constitution forbids states from acting in foreign affairs. There is checks and balances, another strength of state rights. "You haven't actually answered any of my questions with anything aside from typical circular reasoning or arguing from ignorance. " I am answering your questions, you just don't like the answers. But please keep them coming, I will continue to answer them with a intelligent response not taken from a "think tank".

  9. Tyler Desrosiers " Really.. so somebody that inherits their fortune has worked harder for their profit than somebody that works 16 hours a day putting their back out?" Very few people actually inherited their fortunes. And even with that they still have to be wise with their fortune or lose it. But very few inherited it. That is like the single mother with 10 kids, they exist but are a rarity ,we don't change the entire economy for the extremely rare cases. "Why do you think 'state' level politics is somehow better than 'federal' level politics?" I told you, it is stronger representation. The more local government is the more society can see that it is actually working for them and they can change it easier. I met both candidates for mayor this past election. I personally knew both candidates for sheriff. You can do that at the local level, not the federal. The more local government is the easier it is to control and manage, and if you don't like it you can change or more to another state. The federal government is there to deal with foreign affairs and enforce the constitution, the states were to enforce the constitution and deal with domestic policies. Every state is different, what the role of government is and what government should do is different. So the states deal with it. It is diversity and a checks and balance system. I explained this before you just don't like the answer or can't read. "I live in what is arguably the birth place of modern neo-liberalism and I can guarantee you that lazy people are just as likely to get hired and hold high paying positions as your supposedly skilled ass. " Or maybe you are just jealous. The vast majority of people who are well off do work hard. You are just jealous you can't do that same. "Holy fuck. Ok, how about insert name of your state here? I'm not even sure why I should add to your credibility by responding to you at this point." Why should I care about another state or try to change the people who live their ways? If my state were to do that I would push to change it or move to another state. Simple. "The constitution bans slavery in spite of what the bible belt believes, not because of it." What does the bible belt have to do with this discussion?

  10. Considering how federal government policies are the reason why healthcare is so expensive to begin with dating back to at last 1940s I would say it is time to get rid of medicare.
