Shocking number of young Americans say other countries are better

[j-mac]

The findings showed that within the age group of 19-29, 47 percent of adult Democrat and Democrat-leaning individuals believe that there are other countries better than the United States, while within the same age group, 19 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning individuals agree. That leaves only 53 percent of young Democrats who prefer the United States to any other country, while 81 percent of young Republicans favor America.

Shocking number of young Americans say other countries are better

Why are taxpayers still subsidising these progressive bastions of America hate? This is what you're sending your kids off to come back as?

"Why are taxpayers still subsidising these progressive bastions of America hate?"


I hope you understand (but know you won't) that the very fact that you automatically call other people "bastions of hate" simply because other nations claim to be happier is just ONE of the reasons I find you and your ilk deranged and dangerous.

And why should I care what you think?

 

[initforme]

Why does what a couple of kids say bother anyone? I laugh at stuff like this. I know the us is a great place to live. I don't care what a couple of kids say. It's like you are on the lookout for this kind of stuff. Just let it go. Take care of your family and let all the rest go. It doesn't matter.

At soon to be 55, a conservative, pro-business (thus anti-corporatist and anti-globalist) I can say that some other countries are better.
I am bitterly disappointed in the direction America has been on since the late 1970's and progressively getting worse every decade.
We are no longer a Democratic Republic. We are a corporate plutocracy. The elected government absolutely does more for large corporations, supporting them and ensuring marketshare than they care about the average citizen. It isn't even close.

You don't sound a hell of a lot like a conservative, champ.

Then perhaps you don't know what one is.
Corporatism/globalism is a cancer. A cancer where an extraordinary small number of people capitalize on the benefits of production of a very large, and extremely underpaid people in economic servitude. It is an economy of wasps. Wasp exclusively survive on the backs of other insects.
I am a free market supporter. In America we obviously do not have a free market. We have a ridiculously over regulated system where a great deal of those regulations and rules were made to benefit and enforce the largest market holders. Indeed in many industries the rules in place were literally written by the largest market holders representatives. It is a pay to win market.

Sounds like an excuse for your own failures that you are promoting here...

Sounds like your reading comprehension is low

In this thread you can see how harmfully divided the country is.
Someone says something you may disagree with, and immediately people go on the defensive and start insulting and making broad assumptions.
The fact is I am highly likely in the top 2% economically on this board. I am 54 years old, I have plenty of equity in my home, I already have enough money to retire comfortably on from past high income for a couple decades. I also am among the VERY few who have an actual, real pension. Referred to as the extinct "old fashion" pension that is 120% funded.
I operated a successful medium sized manufacturing business (43 employees) that surpassed market profitability 14 years straight.
I am an actual conservative. Also almost extinct. I am fiercely pro business. I am one who believes businesses should pay zero income tax, as an example. I intimately know how important locally owned and operated businesses are to a community. We supported 13 local charities as well as provided heavily discounted services to selected non-profits. I employed 43 families that spent their incomes in the community that supported other businesses.
Corporatism is not good. It is vile. It seeks only to feed the very-very-very top few. It never hesitates to cause significant harm to the many to benefit the few. For the life of me, I do not see how ANY conservative is a corporatist/globalist. Globalism is systematically undermining the American way of life. Period.

"The Brandeisian revival is fundamentally motivated by progressives’ longstanding desire for a redistribution of income to counter what they claim is a rapid and corrosive growth of income inequality. The policies they seek to achieve that goal also include a higher minimum wage, universal health care, and higher taxes on the rich. But those policies require legislative approval, which is not likely in a Republican-controlled Congress. Progressives have realized that, of the steps a Democratic president can take on his or her own, a tough antitrust policy would have the greatest symbolic impact.

The new Brandeisians believe that even limited economic concentration hurts consumers because it reduces competition for both workers and customers, enabling higher profits by way of artificially low wages and high prices. The scholarly literature generally finds that bigger firms do enjoy higher profits. But the key question is whether these higher profits come from market share or from superior productivity and performance. A comprehensive review of the economic literature on this question conducted by academics David Szymanski, Sundar Bharadwaj, and P. Rajan Varadarajan found that firms with greater market share enjoy higher profits because they are more efficient than smaller firms — and that this efficiency benefits workers, consumers, and shareholders.

snip

This is not true. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, not only did establishments with more than 500 workers pay their workers 77 percent more than establishments with fewer than 50 workers, but from 2004 to 2016, inflation-adjusted compensation for their workers grew by $3.88 per hour compared with just $1.45 for establishments with fewer than 50 workers.

Nonetheless, neo-Brandeisians argue that breaking up big firms would reduce profits, leading to higher wages or lower prices. So how much would the average American benefit if the corporate-profit rate (net income as a share of total receipts) were the same today as in the glory days of the 1950s and ’60s, when antitrust enforcement was much tougher and wage growth much higher?

In fact, returning to the profit rate of that era would make American workers worse off, at least in the short term, since corporate profits were higher then. But for the sake of argument, assume that neo-Brandeisians get a president whose Justice Department is able to fragment the largest corporations into medium-sized businesses and that this reduces corporate profits 25 percent. If all that money goes toward lowering prices for the bottom 90 percent of earners, the median income will increase a whopping — get ready for it — 3.1 percent, or $1,750 per household.

But second-order effects would quickly more than negate this one-time gain. This is because on average small and medium-sized firms are less productive than large ones (that’s why they pay their workers less). If the U.S. had the same firm-size structure as Canada, where on average businesses are smaller and less productive (which is one big reason Canada is less wealthy than the U.S.), U.S. per capita GDP would decrease by 3.4 percent. Lower profits would also mean reduced investment in research and development and machinery and equipment, which would in turn reduce future productivity and wage growth."

500 workers???
What planet are you on? A business with 500 employees is not a large corporation. Good sized small company, but a tiny blip to a corporation.
Monsanto, is a small corporation comparatively, and they employ over 20,000 regular employees and 2,800 temporary.
Ambev employs 45,000 and is a subsidiary of Inbev which employs 183,000
Tyson foods employs 122,000.


Let's go ahead and hear you defend just these three, and how awesome and amazing they have been for the general public.

So move out when the next republican is elected president

The U.S. doesn’t make that top 10 — not even close. It once again fell in the rankings, dropping one spot to 19th.

The report ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be, according to their own evaluations of their lives.

Finland is followed, in order, by Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada and Austria. These are countries that “consistently” rank in the top 10, the report notes."

Probably because we need people who understand math and statistics..

The problem is, they can look at math and statistics, see how we are falling behind in every metric of quality of life and realize we are doing it wrong.

Probably because we need people who understand math and statistics..

But the liberals graduate knowing less math and statistics.

How do you know this?

Because liberals are idiots and bad at math.

My daughter graduated from college with a degree in biology and extensive coursework in statistics. By your reckoning she should be a flaming liberal.

The orange whore continually ignores laws and procedures that have been around for ages. He has no respect for anyone or anything. He is not to be believed on any issue. He refuses to report to the American people, not even giving press briefings to explain himself.

Our national security is now threatened. Our alliances are destroyed. Our reputation is in the gutter. Significant treaties have been repudiated. The freedom of our female and LGBT Americans is under attack. The right of Americans to vote is under attack. The right of Americans to choose their individual religion for themselves is under attack. trump ignores the people who have decades of experience and surrounds himself with inexperienced sycophants. trump is turning the U.S. into a trash pile.
