If capitalism works why are you all getting government handouts ?

[pknopp]

We will continue to make taxpayers "bail out capitalism".

As long as Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot are killing capitalism in Chicago, it's only right for governent to "bail out capitalism".

If that is the best defense you can come up with you have no defense.

They're killing businesses. What should be done?

Let them all go under?

Be specific.

The answer to you title, is NOBODYS WORKING BECAUSE OF STATE GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

Michigan's at 21% unemployment because Gretche Whitler shut the state down. That's not "capitalism"

Yet another stupid fuck blaming the States for Trump's COVID failure.

You really think that without the shut downs that people would be flocking to bars & restaurants, etc when the infection rates would be so much higher without the shut downs?

prove it. pull the benchmark data that agrees with your post. You can't, but you're condescension will have you insult me.

There is lots of data on the option that did not happen. Not.

You think the only reason people did not go out to eat was because there were closed. Lots of people would no go because of the virus. Lots of people only venture out now when absolutely necessary because of the virus. Withiout the shutdown, we could have tens of millions more infections, lots more deasrth & lots mopre people staying home.

In 1979 I made $5 dollars an hour, today I make 35 dollars an hour. that isn't 11.6. just saying, you're wrong. And by the way, there are tens of millions of me

How does 1979 GDP compare with today?
Do you understand why that matters?

An Annual Review of the U.S. Economy Since 1929

It is just simple referencing when gauging the past with the future, but policy is what adjust the outcomes of our present conditions. The Democrats have had the wrong policies, and they have hurt so many because of their wrongheadedness, and to the point that we can't even reference the Democrat periods in respect to the future, and do it from within the future once we get there.

Bulldshit.

Look at Clinton 's economy vs Bush's.

Compare Obama's wiuth Trump's.

Democrats build kit up & Republicans fuck it over.

At least it took 7 years for GW to bring on his recession. Trump took only 3 years.

clinton's economy was reagan's economy. he just managed to not fuck it up, primarily because gridlock stopped him.

To be fair, Gore invented the internet.

Gore never said he did.

So who gets credit for the Internet economy?
Clinton's tax increase? LOL!

Stimulus check money: You and your family may get $1,200 or more with another relief payment

Here's how much to expect if the IRS sends out an additional round of stimulus checks in 2020.

www.cnet.com

There seem to be double standards at work here. I do think that it is the role of government to help out when capitalism fails but so many of my fellow posters seem to be happy decrying "Venezuela" whilst gorging themselves on the government teat.

Are you all going to give the money back ?

In this case the government shut down Capitalism because of a virus. Why shouldn't the government pay? Especially when you consider it was all based on faulty data and bad stats perpetrated by deep state Obama holdovers.

Apology for the misspelled moniker. I'll remove the sticky 'l' from the keyboard, remove the hidden cracker crumbs and replace the letter with appropriate threats.

There can't be a dumber post, in a state of emergency when you are forced by gov't to stay home it is the duty of gov't to reimburse you, like when they are forced to take your land for national security reasons they reimburse you. Would you expect people to say nah take what you want? No because that would be socialism, but taking reimbursement, now that's capitalism. *L*
Don't confuse handouts with reimbursements.
When you work, your time is reimbursed, when your contracted by the gov't to sit it out your sacrifice and their created hardship is reimbursed.
When your moma had you out of wedlock to get free money from the gov't that is called a handout. Know the difference now?

In Capitalism stuff happens. Markets go bad. The strong survive. That's capitalism is it not?

Socialism promotes the weak through government handouts and establishes a government administered Caste system that does not allow success for the proletariat. It does not allow for healthy competition. In fact it precludes the natural urge for human beings to better themselves and to occasionally win. You do know that if there are winners there has to be losers as well don't you? The big difference is that the 'losers' always have a chance to better themselves with Capitalism. Conversely with Socialism, everyone loses and is equally miserable.

Stuff happens. One could ask "how is a tornado capitalism". If there is a tornado in capitalism you either have enough insurance to cover your losses, have enough saved or go out of business.

A virus is no different than a tornado.

Back when we had a more true form of Capitalism there wasn't healthy competition. The big guy bought out or put the little guy out of business.

Insurance doesn't pay when the government forces a shutdown.

But a government shutdown is.......

Monopolies are not a true form of Capitalism. That's why we have laws against them. In the case of Socialism, we have government approved Monopolies.

Monopolies are a capitalist wankfest. They spend a lot of time trying to destroy competition.

$1200 is a government handout? $1200 is much less than .025% of the tax I have paid.

Sorry, the OP is a fail, had the government gave me $120,000 we could call that a handout. But when the amount is a tiny amount of the money they have confiscated from me over the years, that is not a handout.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Capitalism works. When it is regulated in ways that ensure that the labor and consumerism which drives it is treated with fairness.

Otherwise, it’s a bitch.
