A Conservative Take on the Disaster that is Trump

[The Derp]

Gold has no intrinsic value? Holy shit!!!!!!! You claim to be college educated?????

It's just a bit of shiny metal we as humans decided was pretty. Kinda like diamonds. Why does gold have value? Because it's pretty. But it doesn't do anything. It's not like silicon, which can make things. It's not like nickel, copper, or tin, which can also make things. It's largely ornamental and isn't what economies today are based on, nor should they be.

 

[The Derp]

Sanders and his ties to commie front groups doesn't give you pause for thought?

Not when you say it. Because you're full of shit. Bernie's a Democratic Socialist, which isn't communism, nor is it even close to that. And when it comes to ties to "front groups" no one holds a candle to the GOP's courtship of the Klan, Neo-Nazis, and the Alt-Right.

Seriously? I oppose a corporate government that is in a for profit venture that is owned by international bankers.

You oppose a corporate government, yet you would proudly say government should be run like a business.

The cognitive dissonance is strong with you.

Really? They have dug down and found dinosaur bones two miles deep? You got a link for that?

Christ on a crutch...they find dinosaur bones all the time when drilling for oil. 66 million years is a long time and shit gets buried deep.

The fossil of a mammal dating from 55 million years ago was found in an oil well drill core drawn from a depth of 2,460 feet (750 meters) beneath the surface of Louisiana; how much deeper might dinosaur fossils lie?

So they find mammal fossils half a mile deep. And those were from 55 million years ago. How deep do you think something 66 million years old is?

BTW - the deepest dinosaur fossil ever discovered was 2,256 meets below the ocean seabed in Norway. 2,256 meters = 1.5 miles.

Oil is an abiotic fluid naturally produced by the earth's crust? What does my comment have to do with a carbon tax? Because the same robber barons that own the oil and keep this petroleum based economy in place are the same ones that will be collecting the carbon tax...DUH??

If they own the oil, wouldn't they be paying the carbon tax on that oil????

You graduated what, woodcarving?

 

[Dale Smith]

I have a college degree, asswipe.

So you say...but I don't believe it.

You see, commie fucks like you can never get enough of the earnings of others. Without an honest monetary system based on something with an intrinsic value to back it? This corporate entity will always be indebted even if you stole every dime of every person with a job.

All straw-man horseshit, of course. And all confirms exactly what I've been saying; that you've been sold a false bill of goods that giving the wealthy more will somehow, magically trickle down to you. They don't care what your tax rate is, so why do you care what theirs is? Unless you consider yourself a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" whose fortune is right around the corner...

I don't believe that you have a college education....how in the hell can you not know that gold has many, many uses?

AS I have stated, you could steal every dime from those making 200K and above and it wouldn't make a dent in what is the national debt and it certainly wouldn't benefit me and I wouldn't do it even if it was within my power to do so. I don't NEED others to subsidize my existence like those of your ilk do.....capiche'?

By raising the price of said oil.........you went to college????? LMAO!!!!

So why wasn't it oil by now? How could it be mere bones with that type of compression? Besides 1 mile = 5280 feet....far less than the 2,256 feet that your link provides........

 

[The Derp]

I don't believe that you have a college education....how in the hell can you not know that gold has many, many uses?

Largely, it's ornamental.

AS I have stated, you could steal every dime from those making 200K and above and it wouldn't make a dent in what is the national debt

Never said it did, never said it would. Never even said that's the goal. I'm curious why you are so consumed with debt, and why all the debt peacocks said nothing 16 years ago when Bush took a surplus that could have paid off the debt by 2010, and instead turned it into record deficits (4 of them during Bush) that doubled it by 2009?

So long as our GDP grows faster than our debt, there's no problem. Because government never "dies", and therefore never has to pay debt off. We've carried a debt load in this country for about 190 years. Most First World governments operate in debt.

nd it certainly wouldn't benefit me and I wouldn't do it even if it was within my power to do so. I don't NEED others to subsidize my existence like those of your ilk do.....capiche'?

Wait - higher taxes on the wealthy wouldn't benefit you? Of course they would. Because the government would then collect more revenue which means it can spend more on things like education and health care, which results in you spending less on those things and spending more in the consumer economy, which is 70% of the economy as a whole and where most of the jobs are created.

 

[The Derp]

By raising the price of said oil

Right...which drives innovation to come up with other, cheaper alternative energy sources. So the intended effect, innovation, is achieved through taxation.

........you went to college????? LMAO!!!!

Yes, it's where you develop critical thinking skills. Which explains why you didn't obviously go to college. Or you are pretending that Trump University is a real college.

 

[The Derp]

So why wasn't it oil by now?

You want me to explain how a fossil is created? Ugh...what do you think oil is from? It's the decomposed microscopic animals and plants that largely roamed our oceans millions of years ago.

How could it be mere bones with that type of compression? Besides 1 mile = 5280 feet....far less than the 2,256 feet that your link provides........

First of all, thanks for proving you only read half the post (and it seems like you skimmed it rather than read it). The 2,256 feet is where they found mammal fossils. They've found dinosaur fossils three times as deep. Just like my link says. The link you completely ignored, why?

 

[The Derp]

Gold doesn't do anything?

Largely, no. It's ornamental. We've ascribed value to it not because of its uses, but because we like the way it looks. But we aren't a 15th-century serfdom, so gold isn't how or what our economy is based on.

You graduated what, woodcarving?

Any degree I got is infinitely more valuable than the degree you didn't get.

Gold is largely "ornamental"????? Dude, you haven't the faintest clue

There never was a "surplus". When Clinton left office the debt was at 5.5 trillion dollars but Clinton and the repub controlled house and senate of that era added 1.36 trillion of that but far from being in "surplus" territory. Bush the lesser doubled it and the Barrypuppet then doubled it. "Da gubermint" which is owned by the IMF collects the taxes and any increase would go to them and the fact that you believe that they would pass on the raping and pillaging of others to benefit you is ludicrous because you have no clue as to how the system actually works. I do. Why do most countries operate under a debt load? Because they have a central bank that creates money out of thin air and then charges interest for it. Every FRN is a debt note and a "Promise to pay".

You're wrong on that, derp!

I am calling bullshit on that because it is pushing the narrative that oil is a "fossil fuel" thus a finite resource when it is the second most prevelent fluid on earth. Old oil wells that were thought to be tapped out are refilling.

You have no critical thinking skills but you have definitely been indoctrinated and programmed if you did indeed go to college. You were not taught how to think but what to think....merely a product of your environment.

Gold only has value because it's "pretty...kinda like diamonds"?

Credibility lost permanently........sorry....there is no recovery from this

Somewhat Off topic, but it's amusing to you tube Milton Friedman's take on the gold standard and the cause/effect of the great depression

The Great Depression was artificially manufactured by the very same robber barons that sold the sheeple on the Federal Reserve Act that was suppose to keep this very thing from happening.

hmmm, I don't think it was a conscious decision to have a depression, but it did prove the gold standard with soverign nations controlling their own gold supplies did not work.
