I should note that no one actually practices capitalism but yes, Obama's brand of politics should be done away with.

The politics that needs to go is the shit pushed by the NY Post.

president Obama isn’t a communist. And you should probably know what communism is before you spew. You sound absurd.

And how terrible that the economy did well when president Obama was in office.

it isn’t doing so well now, is it, bigot boi?

The democrat party is turning Marxist at an alarming rate and using racism as its driving force

blacks are disproportionately poor because they make too many bad decisions in their lives

Capitalism is a system of labor exploitation to extract a maximum profit from a minimum of investment. There is always a downward pressure on wage growth and an upward pressure on productivity. Doesn't matter who you are, someone is trying to get more work for less money out of you. Is it slavery? Working paycheck to paycheck sure feels like it sometimes.

Oddly I never issued the word Communist. Are you reading things elsewhere and then posting here? Not a wise choice.

The economy under Obama is the issue. The rich did exceedingly well. The middle class stagnated and the poor fell further behind.

Obama was a Republican in sheeps clothing.

I supported 90% of what Candidate Obama ran on. I supported 10% of what President Obama actually did.

If we limit imports from china then the wages of Americans can rise

also limit legal and illegal foreign workers in the US who compete with Americans for jobs and drive down wages

You are wrong about the economy under Obama. But he was indeed a little too soft on some matters. But being the first black president came with some things that no other president had to tolerate.

All we are importing from China are goods made by American companies that did not want to pay American workers American wages.

That would be protectionism. The dirtiest word in the English language to a capitalist. Would have been nice to have had some of that from conservatives back when it would have mattered. Your newfound appreciation for what was once an exclusively progressive desire to protect American jobs is way too late. The political power of Labor was broken in this country, it's up to you to decide if it was worth it.

Did the American companies have a choice?

by allowing imports from china it was the federal government who screwed American workers

All countries practice protectionism and always have

America didn't. Conservatives cheered every time a union shop closed down and moved off shore. If you are one of those who never paid attention until Trump came along I'll give you a pass for not knowing that.

Yeah cause in communism/socialism wages are much higher... everything is fair and no one is poor.

What an idiotic post.

Sure but that is no excuse. I am not wrong about what I said about Obama.

I laugh at Democrats who deny being commies. They are so stupid they don't know what they are. We're not commies, we just want the government to own everything...

If you like capitalism so much you ought to be working to fix it's faults rather than attacking what happens when it fails to provide for the needs of society.

We have always had regulations
