What's Wrong With People?

I have no idea what you are saying except that you want to give tax money to the unemployed. Is that correct?

What form of government and economic system do you think is best?

IMO, the current one is the best we can come up with : a constitutional federal republic fueled by regulated capitalism.

Most of our problems are related to laziness and the improper maintenance of our own nation. 40% of Americans don't vote. The vast majority of those who do vote always vote along party lines regardless of the issues.

Unregulated capitalism is taking money from the pockets of Americans and putting it in the pockets of the rich, who We, the People, have allowed to take control of our own government.

So let’s fix it


First by compensating those who were harmed by those who did this to our system


Then we regulate and tax those who did this

Kill monopolies again like we did when things worked


Libertarianism wants them to have free reign on everything

Sorry, evince, but you may want to look at the books on that idea.

What good does it do to get a multimillion dollar judgement against a mom and pop used bookstore when the weight would collapse them and nobody gets a thing? Why not fix the problem first and then decide who gets what?

What hell are you talking about?


Compensate the people who were harmed by evil people in segregation

Had their homes and businesses burned or out right stolen


The prevention of families handing down their wealth to the next generation


like handing back Bruce’s beach to the family it was STOLEN FROM


Then prevent it from ever happening again

Erase inflated schooling costs


Stop it from happening again

Do you really believe there's a danger of it happening again?

I agree 100% to fix all inequities. Fixing past wrongs gets muddled in politics pretty quickly. In today's environment, it's DOA the moment someone brings it up.

That said, like Jewish families seeing the return of artwork belonging to their Nazi executed parents and grandparents, any persons or private groups that gained from theft or deprivation of the rights of Americans should pay compensation for the losses.

Aside from executing murdering lynchers, what kind of compensation would you expect for an American's murder by lynching? Have today's kids pay extra taxes to the kids and grandkids of the murder victim? Is money really justice? All it seems to do is prolong the problem.

What is a life worth?


Yes we can pay reparations to people for murdered relatives

Their lives had value


And this nation as a whole ignored It

Their families were not treated like victims


The vast majorities of people under 30 would vote to pay those taxes


It would be a drop in the bucket compared to many other OVERDUE BILLS this nation should pay


It would be a drop in the bucket in our budget


It’s a bill we owe


We refused to fix this evil for far too long
