WTF is a "just economy'?

Chasing unicorns is fruitless.

How is it "chasing unicorns" to try to improve educational access for all, and basic equal opportunity?

Is it "chasing unicorns" to think we can make our political system representative of all, and not just the monied interests? Have we already given up on that idea?
 
Pol Pot wanted to force everyone into a Native American style subsistence living, too. :palm:

That has to be one of the strangest responses I've ever seen here.

Where did I recommend "Native American style subsistence living?" And are you comparing me to Pol Pot?
 
I had a small business. 5 employees. If done right you can do far better than working for a corporation. Some are just not cut out to be self employed. Some do better working for Exxon. Some make a career in the military. There's plenty of economic opportunity for anyone willing to work. They just have to find their niche.
You make it sound as if small business is the only satisfying way to earn a living. There's folks in my industry that hated being self employed. I loved it. It was silly how much I earned for the amount of time I actually worked but I'd planted the seeds , fertilized and nurtured the business for it to work out that way.
That is not my intention. If you followed the conversation then you'd see the discussion was about defining "just economy". You jumped in with your pro-corporation post. That's fine, but "just economy" isn't restricted only to corporations.

wrong.

in an economy with structural problems as our, too much globalization stupidity, blaming poverty on the poor is retarded.
 
Dems never talk about economic opportunity. everything is a zero sum game with them

tax da rich /feed the poor / till there are no /rich no more (Alvin Lee)

"A rising tide lifts all ships" is beyond their simplistic view of economics to grasp
they prefer less wealth - a smaller pie -as long as the slices are equal

They dont understand a dynamic economy

No, that's not what Dems want and they often talk about economic opportunity. It's nothing a lifelong welfare parasite like you would ever understand.

Just like you don't understand the term 'zero sum'.

Dummy.
 
It’s another way of saying socialism lol.

Spread the misery around. It’s never worked anywhere it’s been tried and often ends in bloodshed.

Please have your parole officer explain to you what 'socialism' is, and then try and match that to anything in the Dem platform.

And please stop eating your own shit.

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.

Yes, Pol Pot was a Socialist.

All White Libs like to pretend they are living in "harmony with nature" like a Native American.

I'm not a socialist, a white lib, and I never advocated "harmony with nature" as an economic policy.

Not worth engaging. You lost the debate on this, obviously - you can't just go making up what someone's positions are.
 
Unless you are a trust fund recipient, your income determines where you live.

Capitalism provides the best opportunity to succeed or fail per your effort.

No other economic unit comes close.

I'm pro-capitalism.

But it can't be unfettered - or as unfettered as it is now.
 
I know plenty of folks in small businesses, working for corporations and career military guys that do well. It's really a very simple formula: get reasonably educated (trade school will do), stay off inebriants, be dependable and take ownership in your work.

Tell me, oh Great White Savior, how will you end poverty around the globe and save the Earth.

So you do NOT believe in living in harmony with nature?

. We don't strive hard enough for equal opportunity.
Sounds more like " I dont strive hard enough for equal opportunity.".
. Maybe it's just a concept - but some people shouldn't have to work 10x harder just to escape their circumstances.
Lol, that's almost verbatim what I told my parents a long time ago. So I did. Worked out quite well. Some seemingly don't work hard at all, they make it look easy. I had a college roommate that had a 4.0 GPA in electrical engineering. I rarely saw him study. He seemed to absorb it all in class.
