The US Is Officially A Banana Republic: The Top 1% Now Own More Wealth Than The Entire Middle Class

Tell me that this Republic is stable?

It clearly is

And capitalist economists have not suggested something as simple as mandatory accounting/finance in the schools since Sputnik.

No, you said you support people who break things.

Try again..

Yep, when I support what they are protesting.

Oh, so some criminals are good…..if you agree with them.

Got it.

Absolutely. I have never argued otherwise.

We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I was a teenager in the 1950s,

That was when we really had a middle class.

And the country was so much happier.

Now all we need is another world-wide war that decimates the industrial capacity of other nations so we can again be the big dog on the manufacturing block.

At least you are on record supporting criminals.

Its not either-or

The US had a great economy after WWII because we made stuff here that provided good jobs of everyone

Now the factories are gone thanks to stupid globalist logic and American workers are hurting

 

[whoisit]

How does a billionaire get money for nothing vs an average American investing in the markets and earning interest or capital gains? The billionaire earns more for certain, but aren't both getting "money for nothing"?

Money is for nothing and the chick's are free, or something like that,lol.
Especially far as the dems go at least since none of them ever had a real job yet they are the richest group in politics,

The benefits of international trade are almost incalculable - certainly greater than the loss of a couple hundred thousand "good jobs" in American mills and factories. Most of the stuff we buy is of higher quality and costs less than if it were thrown together in an American factory. American stuff that is high quality is very expensive, out of reach for most working class people.

One tiny example; you can buy a good bicycle for $500 or less. Without international trade, that number would triple.

Accounting? Why not Home Ec which would be a thousand times more applicable?

That's the stupidest thing I've seen in weeks.

After WW2 the US had a great economy because Europe and the South Pacific were wrecked. They have recovered. Look at South Korea. They're a powerhouse. You can't keep other countries down just so you can continue to be number one.

The economy of Europe and japan had nothing to do with our economy in the US

America was great because we made things here

And economists don't say that accounting/finance should have been mandatory in the schools since Sputnik.

They don't say much much about planned obsolescence and what Americans have lost on the depreciation of durable consumer junk since Sputnik.

Is consumerism with planned obsolescence just the high technology form of slavery?

And sold them there.

And sold them there.

No more than we imported

You must be thinking of the Marshall Plan when we saved the Euro’s from starvation

But it was the act of production that made the economy go

Surada is correct. After WWII consumerism took off while Europe and Japan had to rebuild from the war.

That may be true but it has nothing to do with my point that our economy feed on itself and provided our post-war prosperity

surada is just an argumentative nitpicker with no real point to make

Now they have caught up. They make things... often cheaper and better.
