Was this a hack?????

 

[21STEELERS21]

I think the rise of Trump and Sanders is really the result of the success of "capitalism". After WWII we had a misleading
good times period because Europe was devastated we had to make everything for everyone and communist countries
didn't compete for our jobs. Since the 80's when capitalism defeated communism as an economic system, the communist
countries started competing for our jobs and capitalism also began forcing in globalization.

Globalization allows capitalists to source for the lowest means of production and unfortunately for Americans, people in other
countries with lower standards of living are willing to work for a lot less money. So all the US executives who have been
beneficiaries of lower personal tax rates, have made even more money by moving jobs to countries with lower costs of
production and more profits. Capitalism is working beautifully and those with money make even more money and the middle class
gets to compete with more and more people driving down the cost of labor, until there isn't a middle class anymore.

Capitalism works best for those with money and least for those with just skills that are globally common.

Globalization allows capitalists to source for the lowest means of production and unfortunately for Americans, people in other
countries with lower standards of living are willing to work for a lot less money.

However, American workers are still the most productive the planet has ever seen.

So all the US executives who have been beneficiaries of lower personal tax rates, have made even more money by moving jobs to countries with lower costs of production and more profits. Capitalism is working beautifully and those with money make even more money and the middle class gets to compete with more and more people driving down the cost of labor, until there isn't a middle class anymore.

Capitalism has generated more wealth for middle income citizens than any other system, ever, in history, and it's not close. Just compare the economic status of the vast majority of citizens in capitalist systems (United States, Canada, Great Britain, etc.) compared to non-capitalist systems.

You want the easiest example? Compare how well non-capitalist Chinese citizens were doing vs. capitalist Chinese citizens.

Capitalism works best for those with money and least for those with just skills that are globally common.

No, capitalism works best for every citizen in a society where capitalism is employed.

The bottom 20% of Americans are better off than 95% of the rest of the world. That is an undeniable truth. That is why the poor in other countries risk their lives to come to America - they know what it is like being poor in their native country vs. being poor in their home country, and choose the United States, every time.

MSNBC, my new favorite cable news channel.

CNN announced Saturday that it will host back-to-back Republican town hall events in South Carolina on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET.

Over the course of two nights, all six of the remaining GOP presidential candidates will have the opportunity to answer questions from Palmetto State voters, who go to the polls on Saturday, February 20, for the Republican Party primary.


Schwang!

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio will win South Carolina’s most Republican coveted endorsement of the 2016 presidential race when Gov. Nikki Haley announces her support at a Chapin rally on Wednesday evening, a source with knowledge of the governor’s decision told The State.

Haley, the state’s most popular GOP politician in polls, has decided to back the establishment candidate considered to be in best position to challenge Republican front-runners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

#‎BREAKING‬: Ted Cruz has claimed the first-place spot in a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, knocking Donald Trump off the top and snapping his 31-poll streak as leader of the GOP pack.

Cruz tops Trump nationally in poll surprise
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-primaries/269749-cruz-tops-trump-nationally-in-poll-surprise

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz leads Donald Trump by two points in a national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday.

Trump had held the top spot in the previous 31 consecutive national polls, according to RealClearPolitics, posting a double-digit lead in all but four. In last month's NBC poll, Trump held a 13-point lead over Cruz.

The Texas senator has 28 percent support in the poll, with Trump at 26 percent. Marco Rubio follows with 17 percent in the poll, which was conducted entirely after Saturday's GOP debate.

Cruz also leads Trump by 16 points in a head-to-head matchup.

The result is a major coup for Cruz, as Wednesday marked a deepening in tensions between the two leading GOP contenders just days before Saturday's South Carolina primary.

I agree that capitalism creates the middle class, but with globalization and spreading the middle class jobs over a greater number of people,
you are creating a lower middle class than in the past. World-wide its better because it is lifting many out of poverty, but it's driving down
the wages of the middle class in the United States.

My 1 book has turned into 2, 1 non-fiction and 1 a novel. 2 will take longer to complete.

****, I agree with 21. That's the smartest thing you've ever said. Karma sent.

 

[black and gold apex]

No one really thought Trump would still be around. You get a feel citizens are tired of the BS and status quo in Washington and have enjoyed Trump's stirring the pot and letting us see what all the others are made of. Can it really be worse than what we have.

 

[deljzc]

I've been asking from the beginning "What is the worst thing Trump could do?"

You know what my brother in law said? He said we need a "statesman" and I said, "You don't think Trump can rub elbows with the rich and powerful? You don't think he can wine and dine with the best of them? You don't think when the diplomacy gets down to business he's the best negotiator of the bunch?"

You know who CAN'T feel comfortable around billionaires and powerful people? Bernie Sanders. That guy's hatred of all rich people will alienate him at every big, important world meeting. He's already a sniveling fool half the time in his complaints of all things Wall Street (which is such a small fraction of the wealth issues in this country).

It just amazes me that people think Trump's public persona is what he acts like on the golf course or in a negotiation involving millions of dollars. From everything you read, people that have PERSONAL and BUSINESS dealings with Trump say he's the ultimate gentleman (other than being tough at negotiations). Obviously some people that feel they got the short end of the stick probably don't like him, but that's business. If anything he's taken to the house politicians that stood in the way of his business, which is exactly why I trust him to be a better negotiator than the current fools in Washington.

And we all know he's not a right-wing, religious wacko that's going to elect more Scalia's to the court (if that's your thing). Cruz will. I even think Trump will be more reserved at sending troops all over the world than someone like Cruz.

What else domestically is he proposing that gets liberals all upset? Appealing Obamacare (is that really what you liberals wanted?). Changing Common Core? Some common sense restriction on abortion (you know he's not tackling that issue to ban abortions)?

Again, Trump is gaming the system. He's promising just enough to the far right wingers now to make them happy (anti-abortion, defund Planned Parenthood, change Common Core, fund the military). But liberals damn well know Trump is a moderate conservative and that's it. And they damn well know he won't bow down the Republican Party after the way they've been treating him this primary season (basically trying to sabotage his campaign any chance they get).

 

[oneforthebus]

And we all know he's not a right-wing, religious wacko that's going to elect more Scalia's to the court (if that's your thing)

And this is what scares me about the ignorance of people like you who drink the liberal koolaid. Scalia's decisions were never made based on his "right-wing religious wacko" views. Have you ever bothered to read them? They are based on constitutional principles. He himself has said "Don't paint me as anti-gay or anti-abortion or anything else. All I'm doing on the Supreme Court is opining about who should decide: Is it a matter left to the people, or is it a matter of my responsibility as a justice of the Supreme Court?"

If you want justices on the court who don't think that way, if you want justices who believe it's their job to decide these issues for us rather than to apply the Constitution to laws made by elected legislators, you can kiss this country and many of our civil rights and liberties goodbye.

I would love to hear Trump have a discussion about Constitutional principles. That would be entertaining.

Donald Trump says 'phony' WSJ poll 'a Rupert Murdoch hit'

"That phony Wall Street Journal poll that came out yesterday was, in my opinion, it was a fix....It was a Rupert Murdoch hit. It was just a Rupert Murdoch hit"

"Every single poll that has come out over a long time has me up 15 to 20 points nationally. All of a sudden out of nowhere the Wall Street Journal poll comes out and I'm essentially even, but I'm down two points to Cruz of all people -- and Cruz can't get elected dog catcher," Trump said.
