62% of 18-29 Year Olds Have a Favorable View of Socialism

Trump sure does.

As were Obama and Biden, pushing the boundaries of the Separation of Powers and sometimes ignoring Supreme Court decisions. Part of that is on Congress IMHO, for not having the balls to make the tough decisions, mostly due to the highly partisan politics we've seen over the past few decades.

Yet the United States remains the top destination for Immigrants. The reason for that is the United States provides the best Economic Opportunity. The more a country moves towards Socialism, the less economic opportunity.

Nope...

Turns out that Social Mobility in US is a myth

Economic Freedom is pretty crap too, but what can you expect when the President of the country threatens companies, dreams up tariffs....:

That is a distortion of Mamdani's views, and an example of the straw man fallacy.

If you cannot explain someone else's opinion in ways he or she would agree that what you said is an accurate expression of his or hers opinion you to not understand the other person's opinion.

Mandani has said that his main goal is to make New York City affordable for ordinary Americans to live in. I am afraid he will fail, but agree with his goal, and I hope he succeeds.

Reagan tripled the national debt by cutting taxes for the rich while raising military spending. No Republican who admires Reagan can claim to value fiscal responsibility.

You really are a fool.



“Between the early 1980s and 2007 we lived in an economic Golden Age. Never before have so many people advanced so far economically in so short a period of time as they have during the last 25 years. Until the credit crisis, 70 million people a year were joining the middle class. The U.S. kicked off this long boom with the economic reforms of Ronald Reagan, particularly his enormous income tax cuts. We burst from the economic stagnation of the 1970s into a dynamic, innovative, high-tech-oriented economy. Even in recent years the much-maligned U.S. did well. Between year-end 2002 and year-end 2007 U.S. growth exceeded the entire size of China's economy.”

How Capitalism Will Save Us

If sensible rescue efforts continue--and they will--the immediate crisis will quickly pass.

1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

Reaganomics - Wikipedia





And the tax cuts of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 stimulated economic growth. “As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid.” http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

“As inflation came down and as more and more of the tax cuts from the 1981 Act went into effect, the economic began a strong and sustained pattern of growth.” http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/taxes/ustax.shtml

1. The benefits from Reaganomics:
   1. The economy grew at a 3.4% average rate…compared with 2.9% for the previous eight years, and 2.7% for the next eight.(Table B-4)
   2. Inflation rate dropped from 12.5% to 4.4%. (Table B-63)
   3. Unemployment fell to 5.5% from 7.1% (Table B-35)
   4. Prime interest rate fell by one-third.(Table B-73)
   5. The S & P 500 jumped 124% (Table B-95) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/tables10.html
   6. Charitable contributions rose 57% faster than inflation. Dinesh D’Souza, “Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary May Became an Extraordinary Leader,” p. 116

I have read Mein Kampf, a collection of Hitler's comments spoken in private to friends, Nazi officials, and foreign dignitaries that is entitled Hitler's Table Talk 1941 - 1944, His Private Conversations,and finally My New Order. This is an anthology of Hitler's speeches.

In none of those books did Hitler ever acknowledge reading anything by Karl Marx.

They could not have meant universal free public education, Social Security, and Medicare because those did not exist back then.

1. Article I, section 8, clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;….
   1. Hamilton’s view was that this clause gave Congress the power to tax and spend for the general welfare, whatsoever they decide that might be.
   2. William Drayton, in 1828, came down on the side of Madison, Jefferson and others, pointing out that if Hamilton was correct, what point would there have been to enumerate Congresses’ other powers? If Congress wished to do anything it was not authorized to do, it could accomplish it via taxing and spending. He said, "If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?" http://www.liberalinstitute.com/CharityNotProperGovernmentFunction.html
   3. According to James Madison, the clause authorized Congress to spend money, but only to carryout the powers and duties specifically enumerated in the subsequent clauses of Article I, Section 8,and elsewhere in the Constitution, not to meet the seemingly infinite needs of the general welfare.Alexander Hamilton maintained that the clause granted Congress the power to spend withoutlimitation for the general welfare of the nation.

I’m guessing you “admire” abortion, homosexuality, trans delusions, sexual deviancy, indecency, immorality and unconventional workings more since you will happily cast a vote to further empower the Democrat Party?

I always vote Democrat.

I am in favor of abortion, but I do not like it. I am in favor of it because of my concern for human over population. I also like the eugenic effects of legal abortion.

The authors of Freakonomics credit Roe v Wade for the decline in violent crime that began in 1992. They point out that females who have abortion are more likely to have low IQs, and to be unmarried than females of the general population. They are more likely to give birth to boy babies who grow up to be violent street criminals than females of the general population. A potential mugger who was aborted in 1974 would have been 18 years old in 1992.

Gay rights is not my issue. I believe that homosexuality is a genetic inclination that correlates with superior intelligence. When I told a gay friend who had said he as sexually attracted to me, "I am glad I am not gay."

He said, "I am glad too. As sensitive as you are it would be a real problem for you."

I think the problem is not that some homosexuals want to get married to other homosexuals; it is that many heterosexuals do not want to get married to the people with whom they have children and raise those children properly.

I have always disliked the sexual revolution. It has led to dramatic increases in divorce and illegitimacy. Children who are raised to adulthood by their biological parents living together in matrimony tend to have many fewer problems in life.

AI Overview


The appeal to authority fallacy is
when an argument is based on the idea that a claim is true simply because an authority figure said it, rather than on evidence and facts. This fallacy occurs when the authority is either not a genuine expert on the topic, is biased, or when their opinion is used to dismiss other evidence despite a lack of scientific consensus. It's not a fallacy to cite a qualified expert, but it becomes a fallacy when the expert's opinion is treated as unquestionable proof without supporting evidence.

---------------

My source is the writings of Adolf Hitler.

If Hitler read the writings of Karl Marx and admired them, Hitler should be quoted, not someone else. On the basis of my reading Mein Kampf, Hitler's Table Talk, and an anthology of Hitler's speeches I can say that Hitler often criticized Marxism and never stated agreement with it.

Anyone can find someting on the internet they like. If you agree with that book, state its arguments in your own words. If you cannot do that you do not understand it.

Originalism is one way to interpret the Constitution. The theory that the Constitution is a living document is another way.

I am a literalist. I believe that if the Constitution does not clearly say something we should assume that it is silent on the matter and leave it up to the voters. The Constitution has lasted as long as it has because it has been interpreted flexibly enough to conform to changes in public opinion.


The authors of the Constitution were intelligent and well educated for their time. They were also rich men. Most owned slaves. They occasionally had valid insights. We should view their concerns skeptically.

The inflation of the late 1970's was not caused by Keynesian economic policy. It was caused by the OPEC Oil Embargo of 1973 and the Iranian Revolution of 1979. These raised the world price of petroleum. Republicans do not want to admit that, because they did not want to admit that foreigners they disliked had considerable control over the U.S. economy.

The economic growth fueled by Republican deficit spending was evenly distributed to the rich.
