WTF is a "just economy'?

[anatta]

Why do you believe Bernie and his supporters were against TPP?

Bernie has a simplistic zero sum view of wages. The TPP was bad because we would be in a trade block where international corporate lawyers decide on violations ( talk about globalism!) and our large economy would not be leveraged against smaller ones.
In this case "Might doesn't make right" but it gives us an advantage we'd lose as part of the TPP

economic nationalism is the name of the game. you can be sure China practices it

I've found that the harder I worked, the more "privileged" I became.

Seems to be a concept assHat and LazierThanYou are incapable of understanding.

 

[CFM]

I think you are talking about yourself.

I am in college so I don't have to live like CFM the Animal.

I was in college before the two monkey that buttfucked to produce you got together. Unlike you, I've earned what you think should be provided to you right out of the gate.

If you consider whites to be harder working, more persistent and more intelligent than other races then the answer would be yes.

I don't consider that.........simply because it's not true...........I simply asked if you benefited from your white privilege to achieve success

Those arguing white privilege is real are the same ones constantly blaming someone else for their failures.

hilarious............but I see alot of idiots who like to make asinine assumptions

You forgot I added in pro small business (that worked for me) and pro military.
I don't understand why some folks are so anti-corporation. My wife works for one and loves it.

corps dont care, corps are evil because they make a lot of money etc.

They leave out teh part of a good job with benefits and paid vacation - something small business owner
may or may not be able to do.
Plus there is opportunity to advance - small business have limited oportunities

I've worked for both - i personally dont do well in a large corp, but that's my problem
since I hate to play games needed to succeed in corps

interesting thread.. thanks for all that contributed. I just finished working from home for the day making $30/hr

I get it because I produce as a salesman - i dont have any job security ( and dont need it)
but I trade that for higher income as an independent contractor

Been doing this 20 years now - i love it, and want mo' more -not an employee scale down in pay

actually wages gains increased more under Trump for lower income percentiles then the rest of income earners.

If you want across the board poverty -just raise taxes as Biden proposes during the recovery -
we will all be equally poor

How'd overall wealth do?

 

[Matt Dillon]

If it has to be explained to you...you almost certainly are too fucking stupid to understand it.

In your case, that definitely is the problem.

It smacks of Marxism to me. Karl Marx was a couch-crasher that never worked a day in his life.
I'm from the real world and that shit way of looking at things has never been good.
It's a recipe for disaster every time.

I did, I benefitted from them giving me nothing and telling me I had to earn it and save if I wanted to get ahead.

Also teaching me how to live cheap and be frugal and responsible and work hard.

That's my white privilege. They told me I'm not owed a thing, and you got to get it yourself and in an honest manner.

pretty much what mine did as well............in fact, my experience has taught me that there is no white privilege, but there damn sure is a wealthy elitist privilege

The Founding Fathers really didn't want that in America. It was supposed to be set up in way to prevent there being serfs and Lords here.

[Bai Lan]

why? why are we an arbiter of what other countries do?

controlling what we import is about what we do.

 

[Bai Lan]

WWChina do?
it would lose our markets, and we wold lose their cheaper goods. how does that help anyone?

Better to negotiate a "fair trade agreement" where China doesn't rip off our intellectual property
and tariff our exports to limit our marketing to China

Which was the basis for Trumps trade negotiations

we'd stop putting free people out of work with slave labor.

that shit is evil. sorry, globalist.

if only. they would retaliate calling our black population slaves

If there is a just economy, then what is a unjust economy?

 

[anatta]

How'd overall wealth do?

average household income went up $6500
Why do I care if Trump has billions, or Gates or any of them?

I care about my economic well being;
and having da rich within an economy also increases aggregate wealth of the economy

 

[Cinnabar]

you are a moron

Beyond a shadow of a doubt. And therein lies the problem with the USA...its dumbed-down portion of the population.

A fuckwad like Trump could never have slithered into a role of power without these morons. In fact, without them, his dumbass reality show would never have gotten off the ground.

Did you not understand the question?
