How capitalism works?

[Truck Fump / h1b]

Beware of the person who claims to be sane but nevertheless believes in American meritocracy.
Totally delusional.

your identity based politics rewards only membership in certain superficial groups.

america isn't perfect, but it's better than every other nation, and we're better than we used to be, not worse.

Mother of Christ, this clown is seriously stupid. It's as if he believe every single piece of propaganda that his grade school teachers fed to him.
His parents didn't do their jobs teaching him to be skeptical of glittering generalities.

you do believe in elite control and are a total nazi elitist mass murder.

you should walk around feeling ashamed of what an awful person you are.

 

[Truck Fump / h1b]

TAG still perceives capitalism and socialism as a binary choice rather than necessarily concurrent dynamics.

It's been sufficiently explained.

One must then suspect a learning disability.

your formulation turns out to be technocratic fascism with a malthusian mass murder ideology.

no thanks, putzo.

you haven't explained shit.

I suspect evil.

And too much whining from leftists.

People do better under capitalism than any other system ever. Period. Even blacks as pointed out already

And they could do better in America if we had real and stronger capitalism. Our capitalism is skewed with too many protections for those born wealthy.

well, the system of unlimited corporate giving to campaigns guarantees fascism/corporatism.

I agree, that is a huge part of it.

For really stupid people, yeah.

Yup, insults (and repetition) truly ARE all you have left.

I mean if you don't understand where roads come from

Your issue, not mine. As you've already been informed, roads come from the private contractors who build them.

then you aren't worth anyone's time to talk to.

Continued insults.

Wait until you grow up and get a job and pay taxes.

Continued insults.

I'm already full grown. I already have a job. I already pay taxes.

 

[gfm7175]

So you do not have any understanding of economics. No shocker there. Your home schooling did not broaden your knowledge.

Your issue, not mine.

Who are YOU to determine what is "enough" for SOMEONE ELSE?

I don't think WalMart Greeter counts.

I'd expect a school to teach kids that roads are a public good provided by the commonwealth of the community. Hence: "socialism". This is ESPECIALLY true of the massive interstate infrastructure in the USA.

What were you taught in home-school? Where mommy's "special spot" was?

 

[Truck Fump / h1b]

Undereducated working class people vote republican,
in direct conflict with their own economic best interests,
because the corporate class that uses them as useful idiots
assures them that their
racism and other bigotry, xenophobia, religious superstition, misogyny, anti-intellectualism, and other serious deficiencies
are OK.

It's entirely as simple as that.

tariffs are in the best interest of all working americans.

trump was doing them.

it's just that simple.

 

[gfm7175]

I don't think WalMart Greeter counts.

Ummmm yes, it counts. It IS a job, dude, no matter how menial or "unimportant" you may find it to be.

My career is within the accounting profession, btw. I primarily oversee customer accounts.

It is actually why you have no understanding. That is only your issue.

American consumers paid the tariffs. How is that in the interest of Americans? Trump, like you, did not understand them. Trump is extremely superficial. he acted in retribution as his normal wont. Very few economists approve of tariffs, let alone ones a childish president used for punishing countries that did not kowtow to him.

 

[Nordberg]

The founders chartered corporations. If they acted in a way against the people's interests, their charters could be revoked. In 1775 they knew the dangers of unfettered capitalism. That lesson was lost to Repubs.

I'd expect a school to teach kids

I'd expect a school to teach kids (even kids in adult bodies, such as yourself) how to respond to a person in a manner that is actually about what the person just got done saying.

that roads are a public good provided by the commonwealth of the community.

Who builds those roads?

Hence: "socialism".

Learn what socialism is.

This is ESPECIALLY true of the massive interstate infrastructure in the USA.

Who built those roads?

Gross sexual perversions. You're really resorting to THAT childish BS now?

You are hilarious. Sorry, I shouldn't derive so much humor from watching an "adult" who doesn't know where his tax dollars go. Wow.

Most conservatives don't know how money works.

not if they bought domestically produced items.

that's the point.

yes it's to shape behavior.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Just a note on teachers... In the US roughly 85% of all teachers are women...

On inherited wealth, about 70% of generational wealth transfer results in the next generation spending it and going relatively broke. By two generations it's closer to 90%.

For the New Manly MENSAn: "If You're So Smart, Why Haven't You Made the Rich Poorer?"

So we have to put up with this heiristocratic affirmative action for only one generation? So what? It still blocks our way. That's so typical of the shallow and slippering logic preached by bootlicking Preppy-lovers. Also, you intentionally omit the fact that their Daddies set them up in unearned positions from which they can steal more than their inheritance. Instead, society needs to invest in the best; the fittest only, the "fatherest" not at all.

Those set up halfway to the finish line deserve to have their legs broken and made to crawl the rest of the way. The Americans cheated the most by this are the ones who are capable of confiscating this unearned wealth. Big Hack Attack, as accomplished by The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
