America was a veritable workers paradise between the late 1940s and the early 1980s, when the laissez-faire capitalist system which brought about the Great Depression was brought under control by a number of prudent socialist regulations, a 91% tax rate on the super-rich, and an active union movement.No. He isn't a loser. He just understands what has happened to the U.S. Economy and he knows what laissez-faire capitalism is about.
He also knows that anyone who believes vast money hoards are accumulated by "hard work" is a deluded fool.
There are a few "workers paradises" around the world you and PMS may want to consider rather than continue suffering here in this debauched capitalist country, comrade.
I'm afraid that unless and until someone finds a better way to generate the world's largest economy, America will continue to stumble down the road Adam Smith immortalized in "the Wealth of Nations" just about the time the US was established.
What a load of unadulterated horse shit. Socialist regulations did not end the great depression. It took WWII and full mobilization to end the great depression. Kind of disingenuous of you to try to revise history.
Then came the union-busting bastard and his Reaganomics atrocity -- with methodical deregulation and "trickle down" that turned out to be siphon-up economics. And the rest is the history you've been conditioned to ignore. It is right there before your eyes, friend. All you need to do is look at it.
And you have yet to see and understand any of it.
And they're EVERYWHERE!Whenever some one mentions "the 1%" or "deregulation" I immediately realize I'm dealing with a drone
What policies is Soros making the President implement?
Obama does NOTHING without clearing it first with Soros. Soros OWNS Obama and the entire democratic party.
And you know it.
His Nazi Masters taught him well...Is there anyone on Planet Earth who Soros has not scammed?
Probably not.
There is no one in an industrialized country who has not directly lost wealth due to the crimes of Soros.

Based on the study of human behavior it is only in the eyes of the beholder. (Read Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics by George Reisman) I am quite satisfied with my fortunes, but some people are jealous, ie ate up with the penis envy stick.Most vast fortunes are the result of hard work, smart investment, and good business, and only a deluded fool would say the opposite. Your assumption that accumulating a vast fortune must include exploitation and criminality suggests your mind is in a dark place.
At what number (amount) is one considered to have a vast fortune?
BTW, there is no such thing, nor has their ever been such a thing as "laissez faire" capitalism.

The end to the Great Depression came about in 1941 with America's entry into World War II. America sided with Britain, France and the Soviet Union against Germany, Italy, and Japan. The loss of lives in this war was staggering. The European part of the war ended with Germany's surrender in May 1945. Japan surrendered in September 1945, after the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Depression & WWII (1929-1945)Putting 16 million men into uniform (steady pay checks) mobilization which jump started many large industries, the entry of millions of women into the work force, rationing which caused massive savings by private individuals all helped end the great depression. The anticipated return to depression did not occur after the war because spending maintained high levels of industrial activity. As we moved into the early 50s massive infrastructure creation (1 example the Eisenhower interstate system) and finally the understanding of the tax issue by JFK, lowering taxes significantly helped to keep our country moving in the right direction. Varying business cycles continued, and the 1957/58 recession slowed growth for a while but there was no turning back. The sleeping tiger had awakened and the US because the most prosperous economy the world had ever seen.
That's incorrect, too. WWII just staved off the Depression for awhile. Here's what really happened: Congress CUT Taxes.
...It's a myth. FDR did not get us out of the Great Depression—not during the 1930s, and only in a limited sense during World War II.
Let's start with the New Deal. Its various alphabet-soup agencies—the WPA, AAA, NRA and even the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority)—failed to create sustainable jobs. In May 1939, U.S. unemployment still exceeded 20%. European countries, according to a League of Nations survey, averaged only about 12% in 1938. The New Deal, by forcing taxes up and discouraging entrepreneurs from investing, probably did more harm than good.
What about World War II? We need to understand that the near-full employment during the conflict was temporary. Ten million to 12 million soldiers overseas and another 10 million to 15 million people making tanks, bullets and war materiel do not a lasting recovery make. The country essentially traded temporary jobs for a skyrocketing national debt. Many of those jobs had little or no value after the war.
No one knew this more than FDR himself. His key advisers were frantic at the possibility of the Great Depression's return when the war ended and the soldiers came home. The president believed a New Deal revival was the answer—and on Oct. 28, 1944, about six months before his death, he spelled out his vision for a postwar America. It included government-subsidized housing, federal involvement in health care, more TVA projects, and the "right to a useful and remunerative job" provided by the federal government if necessary.
Roosevelt died before the war ended and before he could implement his New Deal revival. His successor, Harry Truman, in a 16,000 word message on Sept. 6, 1945, urged Congress to enact FDR's ideas as the best way to achieve full employment after the war.
Congress—both chambers with Democratic majorities—responded by just saying "no." No to the whole New Deal revival: no federal program for health care, no full-employment act, only limited federal housing, and no increase in minimum wage or Social Security benefits.
Instead, Congress reduced taxes. Income tax rates were cut across the board. FDR's top marginal rate, 94% on all income over $200,000, was cut to 86.45%. The lowest rate was cut to 19% from 23%, and with a change in the amount of income exempt from taxation an estimated 12 million Americans were eliminated from the tax rolls entirely.
Corporate tax rates were trimmed and FDR's "excess profits" tax was repealed, which meant that top marginal corporate tax rates effectively went to 38% from 90% after 1945. ...
