Young people are not happy with the unequal world they’ve inherited
No. Young people are not happy because success, here in our America, requires years of hard work, sacrifice and personal responsibility. Many of them are unwilling to succeed on their own blood, sweat and tears.
Further, many of today's young people neither understand socialism nor are they aware of its repeated historical abject failures, nor the toll in human lives socialism has claimed. Our youth are not pissed off at capitalism or any other specific economic/governmental system; they're pissed off at and despise human nature.
On one side of the coin of human nature a man can find individual freedom, limitless potential for improvement, the rule of law through personal responsibility and a life of relative stability in a free nation. On the other side of human nature's coin a man becomes a member of a collective group, owns no property, suffers beneath the greed of powerful men as a form of government and is punished for his speech and thought.
When faced with a decision between a life of prosperity through hard work or one of poverty and misery and constant want, most men would fight to the death for a chance at the former. That, in a nutshell, is the sum of the spirit of American men. Men who choose the latter; men who wait for success to find them while living on someone else's dime and raging against society for failing without even trying . . . they are the enemies of America.
Yeah, they're all just a bunch of lazy asses...all of 'em. That explains everything.
Interestingly few if any who claim to be so disillusioned by our capitalist system and enamored with socialism never actually move to country where their preferred system of government is already in place. Given the current state of the airline industry I would think they could get a good deal on a ticket right now.That is because they have never lived in a true socialist country they have been feed this romanticized idea of socialism where everything is fair and equal and there is no suffering or have not’s.
Yes, but we already have places like that in the US today. Places where you get free government healthcare, nobody has guns except government, food and clothing paid for, everybody is equal and nobody has more money than the other.
We call these places prisons, and they are full of Democrats already.
My support for capitalism isn't blind. I understand the advantages and drawbacks far better than you.Between their silly, shallow, binary definition of "socialism" and their blind support for what has become of capitalism, the Trumpsters have been their own worst enemies.
If the socialists win, they'll be able to thank the arrogant, ignorant Right.
Perfect. Right on cue.My support for capitalism isn't blind. I understand the advantages and drawbacks far better than you.Between their silly, shallow, binary definition of "socialism" and their blind support for what has become of capitalism, the Trumpsters have been their own worst enemies.

Socialism has failed every time it has been tried.
You don't like the definition of socialism because it makes your imbecile agenda obvious.
Sure. Lets start with the fact that of that 50% that have $0 net worth have that because of their own poor choices in life.You’re ignoring the problem. Over 50% of Americans have $0 net worth. Millions live in poverty. We are the richest third world nation in the world.Yes but few ever get rich. Now with the system so stacked against most Americans, many can see the unfairness. Millions of Americans are living in or near poverty, while billionaires get sweetheart deals from Uncle.Anyone can increase their net worth if they want to.So now if everyone would just apply their God given talents, all would be rich. LOL. WTF man.I suspect you’re one of those under the misapprehension that our crony capitalist system (really Fascism) works for the vast majority of Americans, if only they would learn to invest and please their fellow man.Yes. Many Americans want to cling to the belief we all can make it big. Just work hard and bingo, you’re rich in America. They can’t bring themselves around to accept what their eyes are telling them. The elites love this foolish people.Who benefits from these socialist actions by the government and the Fed? It sure appears that the extreme wealthy are the main beneficiaries.Young people are not happy with the unequal world they’ve inherited
No. Young people are not happy because success, here in our America, requires years of hard work, sacrifice and personal responsibility.
And a huge reliance on the Socialist actions of the Federal Reserve.
They absolutely are. And they sit around and laugh at those struggling believing they actually have a shot in our fake "capitalistic" system.
Nobody believes that. People understand that capitalism is much more than working hard. It's a matter of taking your money and investing in it, thus creating your own income.
In many instances, people fail, but in the process, learn things. You can work as hard as you desire, but if you are blue collar, you'll never get rich working for somebody else. It's a well known factor.
My favorite economist, and former fill-in host on the Rush Limbaugh show, Dr. Walter E Williams said many times, that when he was teaching college, he would be asked by one or more students "Dr. Williams, what is the secrete to financial success?" To that, Williams always responded that the key to success is pleasing your fellow man.
If you make a good hamburger, you please your fellow man by a few, be it feeding your family or friends. If you take your delicious hamburger, and open your own restaurant, you will please your fellow man by the thousands. If you decide to franchise your restaurant, you will please your fellow man by the millions, and financial success grows equally.
The billionaires laugh at people like you.
It only works for people that take the opportunity to be part of it. If you are going to stay at your job running a drill press, you are not participating. You are simply working for somebody that is participating.
Money is political power in our corrupt nation. The ultra rich have enormous political power. I don’t think this a good thing. Do you?
Define rich.
Some would say a person who can live modestly off of his lifetime of savings with little worry about meeting his expenses is a rich man.
The fact is you don't need millions of dollars to live such a life.
Can we debate the problem rather than post platitudes?
You’re ignoring the problem. Over 50% of Americans have $0 net worth. Millions live in poverty. We are the richest third world nation in the world.

I guessed at that stat, but it probably isn't far off. We know there are millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet. You can be like a typical con and claim these people are just lazy or have poor spending habits, but that still doesn't address the problem.You’re ignoring the problem. Over 50% of Americans have $0 net worth. Millions live in poverty. We are the richest third world nation in the world.
Can we debate the problem rather than post platitudes?
Speaking of posting platitudes.
btw - Where did you get the stat that shows 50% of Americans have $0 net worth?
Net worth is basically defined as assets minus debt. Debt is often a matter of spending choices - as are savings and/or investing.
Poverty level in the US is an imaginary line on a graph albeit involving calculations such as regional cost of living and is based on reported income. The most important function of the poverty level is to determine who gets how much federal and state assistance from the hundreds of government agencies distributing funds. It isn't a measure of net worth or possessions, or 'amenities' such as running hot water, air conditioning & heating, cars, phones, other electronics, refrigeration, etc.
20+ Trillion dollars, two decades and scores of federal agencies later the poverty 'stats' have changed little...is it time, like the War on Drugs, to admit defeat? How much poverty, like drug abuse, is a matter of 'bad' choices? Can we federally assist people out of poverty?...apparently not. But education and work ethic can.
Those are the facts - what is the problem?
Absolutely they should live with them. Now here is the part where you play some kind of emotional blackmail by pointing out that the workers shouldn't be held to account for the bad decisions of management.Sure.

GM made poor choices. Taxpayers bailed them out with billions of dollars. Should those who make poor choices live with those choices or not?
Addressing the problem isn't giving them stuff. That is fostering dependency.I guessed at that stat, but it probably isn't far off.

Then when you add in the insult of the extreme wealthy receiving all kinds of government assistance, pols and media figures claiming Medicare4All is just too costly yet most first world nations have it, and a national debt approaching $25 trillion but our infrastructure is crumbling...one can see the injustice. No? Yes?

You'd be wrong, but emotions as thought is always wrong.
We do know that millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. We've spent over 20 trillion dollars to rectify that
I oppose Trump providing more bailout money. Just like I opposed his signing 8 trillion dollars to the States for their own fuckup.Absolutely they should live with them.

I'm not nor have I ever argued that. Now, Trump is getting ready to provide more bail out money on top of the billions and billions his administration has already doled out. Are you going to vote for that to continue?
We do know that millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. We've spent over 20 trillion dollars to rectify that
Do you have a source for that $20 Trillion number?
