@Kala12326 Capitalism is in economic crisis caused by its own workings

@jessicamarie8299 Basically its like sex you can write all the laws you want against illegal sex outside of marriage but no one is going to pay any attention except a few cops. Laws have to make some sort of sense they decided to move production for cheap labor but they only produce for markets that can buy the products for a profit. If the workers can't buy back all that can be produced than they create people without work who wander the earth looking for a way to survive.

@tylercampbell6365 They have no solution because its related to the decline and crisis of world capitalism and America as the last capitalist Empire.

@michaelnantell Obviously the bosses want a cheap labor policy bring them in when needed send them back when we don't.

@shnibby12 The capitalist have used government to their advantage since the founding of the American Republic. They broke the power of the slave owners with the civil war financed by the inflation tax generated by printing greenbacks. The always wanted a central bank and finally got with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. That way they can generate inflation without having to use of wage cuts to keep up the rate of profits which naturally declines over time.,

@shnibby12 The richest of the American capitalists financed the American Revolution. They set up the American government of property owners to do their bidding. Hamilton wanted both a national debt and a Central bank. Lincoln a capitalist lawyer financed the civil war to break the power of the slave owners by printing greenbacks as an inflation tax. They finally got what they wanted with the Federal Reserve Act. Now instead of giving out wage cuts they print dollars to cut wages and make property value rise.

@kopph8tr693 Feudalism and Slavery also "worked". In fact Capitalism was working so well that in 1914 they decided it was time to steal each other colonies. That's the problem. The capitalist billionaires are greedy and not everyone can have a seat for the game of musical chairs they play. So war becomes the way to settle free market disputes.

@kopph8tr693 Market economy? With each ruling class organizing a race to the bottom for even bigger profits.

@firefly9838 See the problem is they need immigrants now because jobs don't provide enough money and time off to have a family. Of course having too many is also a problem because the money bags will have to pay out bigger social costs which cost them profits. After all you realize its all their money they are the ones who own and control the Federal Reserve bank your just a working customer of the bosses and bankers.

@kcorbiekeli4816 We need a workers foreign policy. That's the only way to create a world without war and capitalist economic crisis.

@jessicamarie8299 Look you can write all the laws you want but if you can't enforce them then what? Your still waging a war on marijuana because it was seen as a good way to frame people and send them to prison over something stupid. Borders were set up at the beginning of the capitalist era to control the movement of trade. The control of people only became an issue first over slavery and then when the Chinese began coming to the West Coast after the civil war. After world war one the first Red Scare began and deportation of labor, communist, socialist and anarchist became a priority. New laws were passed limiting immigration from countries with people deemed culturally backward. Jews seeking to escape Hitler's Europe were denied entry both before, durring and after the war by the Democratic Imperialist nations. Mexicans were recruited for labor durring the war but those getting out of line were deported.

@kopph8tr693 Ya people like you need those homes you bought up for investment purposes to drive up the price of housing for a big payday.

@TheMsvo Its just another aspect of the world crisis of capitalism brought upon by the actions of the bosses own greed.

@jaymay7957 Wall Street and Washington built a military and financial empire that is crumbling under its own weight. Why don't you end your cruel blockade of Cuba and give them back Guantanamo that you stole from them in the Spanish American Imperialist war.

Washington may be the US Government but it a government of the two party capitalist bosses. You don't own the United States either they do,

@jaymay7957 Why don't you just explain how your going to close the border without choking off tourism and trade? Your realize any plan will cost resources. What makes you think it will be anymore successful than the war on drugs. Don't kid yourself neither party wants to send everyone back and they have no solution other than to make a big deal about it.
