If capitalism works why are you all getting government handouts ?

They are driven overseas by the punitive tax, environmental and labor laws that make manufacturing in the US difficult and unprofitable.
You're saying US capitalists who extort profit by fouling the air, water, and politics, who derive a "free lunch" from their global reserve currency and one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world, and who have stolen virtually all of the productivity gains of the last half-century were treated unfairly by a government they own?

"From 1979 to 2018, net productivity rose 108.1 percent, while the hourly pay of typical workers essentially stagnated—increasing only 11.6 percent over 39 years (after adjusting for inflation).

"This means that although Americans are working more productively than ever, the fruits of their labors have primarily accrued to those at the top and to corporate profits, especially in recent years."

The Productivity–Pay Gap.


want to compare america's environmental record with, say, the soviet unions? or china's


really, who do you hold up as the way it is supposed to be done?


the shining path?

/----/ I stopped reading at your wildly exaggerated claim that US corporations have the lowest corporate tax rates. FACT CHECK: Does The U.S. Have The Highest Corporate Tax Rate In The World?

The claim: The U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

The short answer: That is generally true, though many businesses end up paying far less than the statutory rate.

The long answer: The U.S. has the highest top corporate tax rate at least among advanced economies. Compared with nations in the OECD — the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of highly developed countries — the U.S. has the highest top corporate tax rate in the world. The top corporate tax rate in the U.S., a combination of federal and state and local taxes, is nearly 39 percent this year. That's well above most other OECD nations.

Might have something to do with massive overreaction by the government in shutting down the economy in response to covid.
So, you really think that without the shutdowns that everything would be good?

The majority of people would not be venturing out as they did before COVID, especially if you consider the much higher numbers without the shutdown.

COVID-19 is causuing the problems. Perhaps if you & your fat assed orange buddy would have taken it seriously, the effects would be much less.

But hey, welcome to the Trump recession.

So, you could be a spreader & just don't give a fuck. That is why so many people will stay home.

i care. it is just that the stated goal was met and exceeded long ago. what we are doing now, makes no sense.


time to get back to work. and the vast majority of americans agree with me.

for sure. I challenge anything you wish to discuss. They were wrong. the health of an economy is greater than curbing a virus.
 
so you have nothing to argue back. gotcha. I knew that, so it was rhetorical. you can't justify your position at all. that makes you garbage in garbage out.
You asked for specific examples of the negative effects of ever-widening economic inequality and I provided four:

1. Increases poverty.
2. Reduces economic mobility.
3. Expands racial and gender gaps.
4. Destruction of US living standards for a majority of Americans.

Can you "argue back" or would you rather swallow some more "garbage"?

The Democrat Party's plan for America, as they have implementing for decades. Thank you for informing of this.
 
money is the root of all evil. didn't your parents teach you that? that you think you can control where money goes is genuinely hilarious. you're a fking demofk loony
Get your facts straight, Loon.

"In Christian tradition, the love of money is condemned as a sin primarily based on texts such as Ecclesiastes 5:10 and 1 Timothy 6:10. The Christian condemnation relates to avarice and greed rather than money itself."

Didn't your parents teach you greed kills?
How about stupidity?

Greed, Trump building the best hotels in the world is not greed. You are confusing the labor of a smart hard working man with yourself. A person that can not lift themselves out of poverty. Why is that? Is it because you just ain't that smart? Are you lazy, refusing to work. Why are you not successful!
