  1. Yes. Democrats and Republicans screaming bloody murder about what the other one is doing, but when you drill down, you see the their positions differ by 0.01%.

  2. ... who are themselves still wet behind the ears. Very ignorant on economic and political matters on which they expound every day. Young and semi-educated. They take some good positions. Just born to big government and think this is the way things should be.

  3.  @gigi6374  The irony is that all that went out the window during the Civil War. Slavery was the excuse, but up to that point, the Union was only as strong as the states' willingness to remain. Lincoln decided that the Union was the most important thing. When the nation abolished slavery, the states that still had it should have been permitted to secede. They'd have come around in very short time, because only about 2% of the South actually owned slaves, and the moral outrage at slavery was going to overturn slavery relatively quickly and bloodlessly. And when you drill down into the CULTURE, most Southerners were WAY less bigoted against Africans than Northerners. Slavery bad. Doing away with federalism also bad. Persuasion good. Compulsion and use of force bad.

  4.  @feedyourmind6713  Yes. And all it takes is one crum-bum in the White House or at the top of a federal agency to visit oppression on EVERYone. The "only the feds can do it right" attitude is why big corporations run everything, now. All they have to do is target a handful of people in Washington, D.C. and all the regulations ensure that BIG has and even bigger advantage over SMALL than it otherwise would. It's funny and sad at the same time that my liberal friends will rail for hours about corporatocracy and crony capitalism, and insist that the federal government do MORE. It's BECAUSE of federal interventions over the last century (some would argue 2 centuries) that crony capitalism is so prevalent. Whom do legislatures consult when crafting laws regulating x, y, or z? The heads of the biggest companies, that's who! It's the same with federal agencies. They consult with the biggest corporations in the industries they regulate, when they're crafting their regulations. And no surprise, there's a revolving door between the top spots in federal agencies and the boards of directors of the biggest corporations! So liberals are their own worst enemies! "Please put the fox in charge of the henhouse!"

  7. Biden corruption scandal has been out there since before the election. But MSM simply refused to report on it.

  8. Yes. But they're WINNING! One hopes and expects it won't last, but they're a modern-day version of fundamentalist Christians who insist the planet is only 4,000 years old, because the Bible says so. You can't argue a person out of their religious beliefs, and much of the modern Democrat's belief system is pure religious faith, wrapped in a thin skin of bad science. You can't talk them out of it. All you can do is let them fail, utterly. If you argue with them, they just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience and demagoguery.

  9. You think raising taxes is instant raising of revenues. But it isn't. It shrinks the tax base and inhibits investment in businesses. Corporate taxes are paid by the consumers. Corporate taxes favor big business over small business. You guys don't understand economics. Soaking the rich just ensures that it's harder for the poor to join the middle class and for the middle class to become rich. You guys are economically and politically illiterate.

  10. $15/hr minimum wage will just guarantee that $15/hr isn't livable. They're gonna inflate the currency long before they pass $15/hr, anyway.

  20.  @Plimpert  Give me one example of FOX advocating violence and intolerance. The intolerant ones are on all the other networks. But I'm no fan of FOX, either. In fact, I'm sick of all the corporate-run-and-owned media. You're still under their spell, reciting narratives spoon-fed you by idiots, without one bit of knowledge of history.

  35. SALT deduction is how the cities have been robbing the heartland for decades. Soak the rich and then the rich write it off on their federal taxes? No way, José. Make the cities support themselves. Period. Tax reform was a REALLY good thing passed by Congress in the first half of Trump's term. Raising corporate taxes is a shell game. WE pay those taxes. The BIG corporations just pass on the cost to the consumers. And the SMALL corporations either go belly-up or never get started in the first place. It's just another transfer of wealth from us to the government and big business, while pretending we're soaking corporations. Raising capital-gains taxes is a shell game. You THINK you're soaking the rich, but all you're doing is making sure that investors are less eager to invest in new products, ventures and companies. Also good for big corporations already dominating the market. Makes it harder for new competition to join the marketplace. Also bad for the economy, because of the chilling effect it has on new, better products. EVERY time the government steps in, it hurts the little guy and helps the big guy, no matter how they spin it or how economically illiterate Enjeti is. Everybody's saying "We should be like Sweden," until Sweden does quite well without lock-downs AND had a lower capital-gains tax rate than the USA! But nobody talks about that.

  36. I don't know a ton about hedge funds, but I doubt most or all of them are heavily invested in shorting stocks. My feeble understanding is that hedge funds are built up by taking different kinds of investment instruments. Mortgage hedge funds were hit hard back in 2008, for instance, when there was a foreclosure storm in real estate, thanks to Democrat meddling in banking.

  37. Regulatory capture by big companies has been going on for a lot longer than 40 years. Do you know why health benefits are such a big deal right now at big companies? Because during the Great Depression, Roosevelt imposed wage freezes. Big companies got around this by offering pensions and health benefits that smaller companies couldn't afford.

  39.  @jersey4life31  That's how Democrats and progressives roll. They cry out against corruption in the leadership, and then promptly give them more power. They're hand in hand with the biggest corporations and billionaires, and they believe/pretend they're for the common man. They're not. The Democrats abandoned the working man and court the billionaires. Dept of Agriculture and the FDA run interference for Big Pharma and corporations like Monsanto. The progressive answer: MORE REGULATIONS, even though everybody knows it's the big corporations who are consulted to WRITE the regulations, and the end result is it just gets harder for the little guy. Hysteria-19 was used to shut down small businesses, while the bureaucrats decided who was "essential" and who wasn't. This is tyranny wearing a big, friendly smiley-face mask.

  42. Honest conservatives, progressives and libertarians will not be tolerated. But you can lie, cheat and steal with no problem. Schiff? No problem. Mad Maxine? No problem. Pelosi? May as well be driven snow, so pure is she. Nadler? Still going strong. Schumer? No prob. McConnell? No prob. Feinstein? No prob. But have an opinion that departs from the establishment-Democrat narrative? We've got a BIG problem. MAYbe as they finally start getting around to crushing progressives, they'll start waking up. But really, progressives just want the same censorship and bum's rush applied to conservatives. They're mainly upset they aren't the ones calling all the kill shots.

  44. We've always known news was trash, until they invented the "Fairness Doctrine," which gave the false impression that news was "objective" for over 50 years. It never was and never will be. The only imperfect solution is an open competition of people with an axe to grind, picking and choosing which story holds up to scrutiny. There should be a diversity of opinion on the news, a diversity of sources. We've got one, in-bred voice that echoes from coast to coast, with the same, exact narrative. There's a handful of companies owning all the legacy networks, and they're all of the same political stripe.

  47.  @tymillerdaddy  I wouldn't know. I never paid much attention to Hannity. Always struck me as a hack and an insider. At best, he's controlled opposition, which I'm starting to think Trump has been, all along, too. Says a lot of the right things. Pushes for a lot of the right policies. Somehow he just never managed to overcome lying, smearing Democrats.

  49. ​ Tessmage Tessera  More things will be automated. But there will ALWAYS be a labor shortage. They'll just be different jobs. That's what you guys always overlook. In the 1950s, people were FREAKING about automation hitting the wheelbarrow-manufacturing sector. Those were jobs that just went away. Of course, they couldn't imagine there would ever be full-time jobs in computer repairs or software engineering. I'm not a believer in state-mandated minimum wages, because I think it hurts people at the low end the most, and erects barriers to upward mobility. It ALSO pushes automation artificially fast. Automation is a natural progression, but we need not FORCE it along by pricing entry-level jobs out of the market, artificially. Just let natural market forces determine the pace, and you will minimize the dislocations that inevitably accompany change. But to say that automation means nobody will have work at ALL is just a backhanded way of admitting you lack imagination.
