If you think it should be reformed and regulated then you don't really understand how it works. What kind of reforms to compitalism do you think are needed?

"Reform and regulate" capitalism is just what people say when they refuse to admit they're neo-marxists.

Oh, I don’t know. Maybe large and expensive public/private enterprise programs. Probably a lot more money going into social programs. Probably higher wages and a strengthening of the middle classes. Probably a lot more money going to people who are going to spend it rather that use it for stock buybacks etc.

Because the “job creators” that we bow to have no loyalty to the workforce. That’s not what they’re in business for. Capitalism is more than willing to devour itself from the inside out and the middle classes/workforce ore the main course.

There's nothing to suggest that increased funding on social programs creates any meaningful benefit to society and a strong argument exists that current levels of funding have already entered into the territory of diminishing returns. I'm with you on wanting to see people get more pay, and I think you should set the example as there's nothing keeping you from doing so other than your disloyalty to the workforce.

It wouldn't be so much of an issue had it not been for decades and decades of lax immigration policies that put downward pressure on wages in may blue collar industries. But that's where we are and either guys like you should pay more (you won't) or workers are going to have to add value to their skill sets.

Your "reforms" sound like they were written by the Wobblies.

Like insisting that tax cuts will “pay for themselves”. It’s the voodoo economics of the 80’s that proves itself false time and time again.

Anyone who refers to such measures as voodoo economics is self-identifying as an economic illiterate. Ditto for anyone who who calls the policies "trickle down."

The idea that allowing people to keep more of their own money is bad for them is baffling. There's no logic behind it, and there's not even any empirical data that you could misinterpret to come to that conclusion.

Lol you mad old timer? You are basically the equivalent of get off my lawn.

 

[Guitarman01]

It was even worse than we thought

No it wasn't. Trump's popular vote has now fallen to less than 50 percent. Even Bush did better than that. Speaking of Bush, happy holidays ladies.
