Unfettered Capitalism

Help me out here. I'm just a simple guy from the Midwest who believes in basic stuff like don't spend more than you have and work your ass off.

So, who are you voting for?

Can you duopoly guys do me a favor and explain why voting for more pervasive government control is an answer and to be sought after?

I'm not a duopoly guy.

The takeover of the energy sector sounds like a profoundly expensive mistake, and I seriously doubt getting rid of private health insurance is going to lead to anything good for us simple people. I've asked democrats I know why they want any of that, and they tell me because they don't think after the election that the democrats will do any of the things they say they want. Which is probably true. I'm not sure the answer is saying everyone is corrupt and we should just give up.

Agreed.

I'm going to vote for Trump, which all of you guys patting yourselves on the back say makes me a moron. I don't want to be ruled by King Bill Gates or Queen Nancy Pelosi. I'd hope to God there is some way people could make a fractional difference on their behalf. I see cutting red tape as a plus, and not the same thing as dumping toxins in a river. I'm fond of the police making sure I'm safe. I see excessive taxation as buying Bernie Sanders another house. I don't think we need to destroy the fossil fuel industry to 'save' the planet. I like being able to say what I want, I like being able to defend myself through the 2nd amendment. I don't think of the United States as inherently evil. All the back slappers are saying I'm stupid for thinking I have a choice. I guess being stupid and thinking I have some chance at all of winning is something.

Trumps record is huge deficits, giant bailouts, recession, riots, increasing crime, the most pandemic death...

Government should control everything? That seems like a really bad idea.

Government should control rich people and corporations.

Again, that's your opinion. Other people think it should control pompous douchebags on the internet.

Both are an abuse of government power.

Unlike pompous Internet douchebags, government creates rich people and corporations, so it's hard to imagine reasonable people viewing public regulation of wealthy interests as an abuse.

Government doesn't create rich people or corporations. That's idiotic. But it does "regulate" them, and many of those rich people and corporations have learned that manipulating regulations is very effective way of protecting their wealth. Which is why, every time you morons pass more "regulation", they smile and bend it their way, further entrenching their power and control. Yet you remain convinced that MORE regulation is the answer.

You're convinced that everything will be better if government controls it. I think that's utterly insane.

Yet, Trump has cut regulations by one third, and you hate him.

You don't get it. I have no idea what Trump has "accomplished" or what he claims he's going to do next. It's irrelevant. He's a proven liar and a troll. I don't WANT him on my side. He's dragging conservative principles into the sewer and creating an entire generation of passionate socialists that will bury us because they see his disgusting persona is the face of conservatism. He's destroying everything you pretend to care about and you don't even see it.

Aren't tax cuts and reducing regulations "conservative principles?"

I have no problem with Trump's persona. Whenever the TDS morons start howling, I know Trump is doing what I want him to do. The only way you can get the respect of douchebags is by becoming a douchebag yourself.

Are tax cuts sustainable when also drastically increasing debt?

Then cut spending.

Or if you are trump make it worse by increasing spending.

So you think Trump should have done nothing about the shutdown?

I don’t think hurting revenue with tax cuts and drastically increasing spending was fiscally responsible.

Increasing spending is never fiscally responsible. So why would you ever vote for a Democrat?

Because they have a much better record than trump. Trump is making obama look fiscally responsible.

No they don't. They have a far worse record than Trump.

Trump increased Obama deficits drastically during a strong economy. How is that not worse?

No he didn't. Furthermore, he had to give Dims the increases in social spending they wanted to get the defense spending increases he wanted. I think that was a bad bargain, but that's how the dice came up.

Yes deficits have gone up every single year trump has been in office. We spend more on defense than the next 10 countries combined and the guy demanded an increase...

Obama had a year with a $1.5 trillion dollar deficit. Trump doesn't deserve the blame for the COVID deficit.

So you have to go back to the recession and the disaster Obama inherited? But trump is clear on the worst pandemic response? That’s funny. After the Bush mess was clears up deficits went down. Then Trump increased them ever year...

You're too stupid to argue with. I've heard this shit 10,000 times already. You're a die-hard Dim and no amount of facts and logic will ever change your mind.

You don’t have facts or logic on your side. Fact is trump increased deficits every single year during a strong economy. That’s when you pay down debt.

I'm done arguing with you, moron. Tell me when you find a Dim who cuts spending.

Bill Clinton sure was better than Trump. And well trump has only increased Obama deficits. How about we just hold both sides to being fiscally responsible?

Bill Clinton was in the right place at the right time, just like Obama. He would cut the defense budget every year because of the peace dividend.

So he was far more fiscally responsible . Trump inherited a strong economy. He could have done the same.

I'm done debating. You're immmune to facts: You will vote Democrat even if it causes the country to collapse.

You don’t have facts. You can’t defend the clown cause he’s a failure. I’ve voted repub more then dem....

We're done, dumbass.

Can’t handle the facts? Your just a sheep.

No, I'm tired of beating my head against the wall. There's no point in arguing with someone who is immune to facts and logic.

Trump inherited a strong economy and full control of government. He still increased deficits drastically. Facts aren’t on your side...

I said we're done.

I was hoping some of the people who were actually talking about economics were going to answer. Yes, Trump had huge deficits, and no I'm not a fan. The duopoly guys can have that one, however I'd like to point out that the democrats wanted to add zeroes and spend more, so there is that. The riots are completely on you guys, and if you had any honesty you'd admit it. Same with the crime. What did you think would happen when you demonize the police and allow the riots? Last I could tell, the pandemic was an act of nature, and a worldwide problem. Again, I was hoping for one of the posters who was discussing economics. I was hoping someone who believes voting is a waste of time, and that people are screwed no matter how they vote would respond.

No it didn't, douchebag. The shutdown produced that.

Trump's inability to produce a national shutdown and response to Covid-19 bred "an unlimited money lifeline to Wall Street (and) 30 million Americans facing eviction." In May 2018 Trump eliminated the global health security office established after the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic and in late 2019 he ended a global early warning system PREDICT that identified viruses with pandemic potential.

Define "large scale agriculture." The fact is agriculture has been around for 12,000 years, most of that time without irrigation.

Agriculture on a scale with centralized organization to feed cities containing thousands of individuals.

I want to give the democrats some credit. At least you are using a different argument. For the last three years it has been we need to give the government more power because of the color of people's skin. Now, it is we need to give the government more power because rich people are corrupt. It seems a pretty narrow and ineffective argument considering it just cuts out the middle man, and puts one form of corruption before another. I maintain that voters still have a little bit of control left of their lives, and don't look down on them for exercising it.

The abuse of power occurs because power exists. The way to reduce the abuse of power is to reduce the power of government.

Right after government taxes private fortunes into extinction.

he alternative would be NOT forcing your opinion on everyone else. You really couldn't figure that out for yourself?

The greatest good for the greatest number could be determined at the ballot box unless you can suggest a better alternative.

That would be horrible. The ballot box will merely force the opinions of the majority on everyone else. There's no need for that.

The best way to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number is to allow it. To recognize that everyone has a different idea of the good life and stop trying to force one vision on everyone.
