Margeret Thatcher: Countries are NOT rich in proportion to their natural resources.

[Seymour Flops]

Democrats, why do you think that is?

I'll ask two specific Democrats who will likely be afraid to answer.

IM2 ? Harpy Eagle?

Why is Russia not the richest nation on Earth with all their potential for economic growth?

IM2?

 

[IM2]

Margaret Thatcher, whose country was still reaping the benefits of income earned by colonizing, has nothing to say worth answering.

It depends who is robbing them.

 

[luiza]

Explain why Russia is not the richest major power on the planet .
On a per capita basis using debt , gold reserves and natural resources . And do not forget water .

Obviously including the US is absurd as its Debt and Obligations now exceed $300 trillion . Comparing a failed state with other thriving economies is pointless .

The answer is easy, but since you lied and called me a Democrat I am unwilling to answer.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Fine.

Withdrawn with apologies. You are definitely no Democrat.

Now: Why is Russia not the richest nation on Earth with all their potential for economic growth?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Fine.

Because they lack freedom.

Dictatorships never thrive for long as freedom is what drives people to want to do better and make a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Because they lack freedom.

Dictatorships never thrive for long as freedom is what drives people to want to do better and make a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

Exactly.

So, why do you think Democrats support freedom-reducing economic measures such as raising taxes and increasing regulations?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Exactly.

So, why do you think Democrats support freedom-reducing economic measures such as raising taxes and increasing regulations?

Who knows, maybe they believe that totally unfettered capitalism is just as bad.

Or maybe they are looking at the 34T in debt and think that something needs to be done about it

 

[Seymour Flops]

Who knows, maybe they believe that totally unfettered capitalism is just as bad.

Because there’s no in between? Is that what those Democrats really think?

Or maybe they are looking at the 34T in debt and think that something needs to be done about it

Yeah, we gotta stop borrowing money.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Because there’s no in between? Is that what those Democrats really think?

Do you honestly think the Dems are as bad a Communist Russia?

Yeah, we gotta stop borrowing money.

But just about nobody, you included, will vote for anyone that is willing to do that.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Do you honestly think the Dems are as bad a Communist Russia?

Never said that.

I'm asking you if you really think Dems are so stupid that they think that the more government interferes with capitalism, the better it is? Honestly, I cannot believe that they are so incredibly retarded as to truly believe that. How could they be that low functioning intellectually, and still be able to type sentences to explain how dumb they are? It's a paradox, I guess.

I have to think that the Dem leaders are power hungry and don't like "capitalists" being a seperate power not under their thumb. I think that the rank-and-file Democrats are lazy-asses who want cush jobs, or better yet, money and benefits without even pretending to work.

Is that your opinion of those rascally Democrats, you not at all being one of them?

But just about nobody, you included, will vote for anyone that is willing to do that.

I sure would. Why would you not be willing to vote for anyone that is willing to do that?

I believe both sides think there is some sweet spot where regulation and capitalism have a perfect union.

I do not believe either side has a fucking clue what the sweet spot is

I sure would.

But you don't. So what is good "would" when you don't?

Why would you not be willing to vote for anyone that is willing to do that?

The only one that comes close to being willing to do that in this election is Chase Oliver, thus he is getting my vote. You on the other hand will vote for the guy that wanted even more giveaway money than the Dems were willing to give away.

maybe democrat isn't the right label for them Seymour....~S~

Do you?

I never said that as one person, I could change the way the country works. Do you think you can, or are you just here to debate like the rest of us?

I'm not going to let my vision of the perfect prevent me from voting for the clear far-and-away best choice among the possible winners. I'll vote for the president under whose administration the flow of illegals at the border was slowed, the economy improved, and there was a reduction in American service people dying overseas. None of that is perfect, but it is much better than the disaster of the last three and a half years under Harris-Biden.

If you truly think Chase Olliver:

a) has a chance to win, if only you vote for him and,
b) intends to stop borrowing as soon as he takes office and,
c) will have the power to stop borrowing and,
d) will follow through with his intentions and actually eliminate borrowing.

Then you are wise to vote for him. I would certainly vote for him, if I believed that.

If any of those are not true, you're just throwing your vote away, so that you can come on a message bard and "both sides" instead of taking a stand.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Do you?

Of course not, it not really my field.

I never said that as one person, I could change the way the country works. Do you think you can, or are you just here to debate like the rest of us?

I am here for the entertainment. It is one of the most active boards I have found. That makes it more entertaining.

I'm not going to let my vision of the perfect prevent me from voting for the clear far-and-away best choice among the possible winners.

I do not see a clear difference between the possible winners. I see a choice between being shot or being stabbed.

I'll vote for the president under whose administration the flow of illegals at the border was slowed

Which did not happen till 2020...was it the Admin or was it COVID?

the economy improved,

The only economic metric different now than under Trump is the bout of inflation that followed all the money given away by the duopoly during COVID.

None of that is perfect, but it is much better than the disaster of the last three and a half years under Harris-Biden.

My life is better now than it was at the start of 2021....is that not supposed to be the question we are asked?

But that is not due to the resident of the White House

I live in Illinois, Harris will take the state and get 100% of its EC votes. Thus a vote for anyone but her is a thrown away vote using your logic of only voting for someone that has a realistic chance to win.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Of course not, it not really my field.

Correct. So, "what good does it do," is a pretty silly argument.

I do not see a clear difference between the possible winners. I see a choice between being shot or being stabbed.

Then you've been turning a blind eye to how poorly Biden has performed.

Which did not happen till 2020...was it the Admin or was it COVID?

How does COVID keep a would-be illegal from crossing the border? Did they not want to be forced to wear masks or get vaccinated? Is they why they came under Biden, becuase he never enforces those rules for illegals?

The only economic metric different now than under Trump is the bout of inflation that followed all the money given away by the duopoly during COVID.

Always the previous administration's fault. For someone who is not a Democrat, you spout their talking points with regularity.

My life is better now than it was at the start of 2021....is that not supposed to be the question we are asked?

But that is not due to the resident of the White House

Then that is not the question to ask, when talking about who should be the resident at the white house.

I live in Illinois, Harris will take the state and get 100% of its EC votes. Thus a vote for anyone but her is a thrown away vote using your logic of only voting for someone that has a realistic chance to win.

It is not guaranteed for her to win Illinois. If enough people said "screw party loyalty, I'm voting for the president that made the economy better, and reduced illigal immigration," Trump could take it. Reagan did.

Why do you think Biden pretended recently that he also wants to slow the flow at the border? Because people in Chicago, and New York now get a taste of what is happening in border states.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No worse than Trump.

How does COVID keep a would-be illegal from crossing the border? Did they not want to be forced to wear masks or get vaccinated? Is they why they came under Biden, becuase he never enforces those rules for illegals?

World wide travel came to a virtual standstill during COVID. Countries were more strict with their borders.

Always the previous administration's fault. For someone who is not a Democrat, you spout their talking points with regularity.

I did not blame the previous Admin, have you not had your coffee this morning. It was a joint effort by all parts of the duopoly.
Can you with any honesty at all tell me you believe all the money given away during COVID did not play a part in the inflation that followed?

Then that is not the question to ask, when talking about who should be the resident at the white house.

What is the question then?

It is not guaranteed for her to win Illinois. If enough people said "screw party loyalty, I'm voting for the president that made the economy better, and reduced illigal immigration," Trump could take it.

The same could be said for Chase Oliver. Anyone can win if enough people gave up their loyalty to the duopoly. But you are not willing to do so, and neither are most people.

Why do you think Biden pretended recently that he also wants to slow the flow at the border? Because people in Chicago, and New York now get a taste of what is happening in border states.

The same reason Trump and the Repubs pretend to care

 

[Seymour Flops]

World wide travel came to a virtual standstill during COVID. Countries were more strict with their borders.

Was Biden just as strict with our border? Covid was still raging when he came into office. There were more deaths by Covid or at least deaths by people who had Covid under Biden than under Trump.

The same could be said for Chase Oliver. Anyone can win if enough people gave up their loyalty to the duopoly. But you are not willing to do so, and neither are most people.

The money given away under Covid was ridiculous. Again, I’m voting for the person most likely to give us a good economy and that dang sure ain’t Kamala Harris. Nor is it Chase Oliver since he has absolutely zero chance of wedding. The same is not true for Trump, that’s the difference.

It sounds like you are at least admitting that your “what does it “was a pretty silly argument.
