More government dependency. We see how great that's worked out for us so far.
worked out for you just fine.. We didn't collapse into social anarchy in the 1960's, did we? Everyone thought we would.
How does taxing the wealthy help your income unless government confiscates all money for redistribution? You people need to move to Cuba or North Korea where that system is already in place. Here's something you can never choke down, it's called logic: Nobody would open or operate a business if government took most of their money....nobody.
Funny thing. You know what the top marginal rate was in 1953 when Ike was President? It was 93% on incomes over 400K. Our businesses did just fine. CEO's lived comfortable suburban lifestyles.
The thing about Cuba or North Korea is you act like they just sprung into being the day Communism was declared..
Um, no. Korea was a colony of Japan for a half century before independence, and the Japanese pretty much looted the place of all the resources... Cuba was a place were the people lived in abject poverty and the country was run by Corporations and Gangsters (But I repeat myself.)
They were poor miserable placed to live long before the Commies ever got there.
Oh, making the rich pay their fair share... Not actually communism. We did it under Ike, and we were just fine.
So if workers make low wages, which is what you clamoring for, how can they afford to live? I've never seen a SUPPOSED worker who clamors for low wages for workers. Some people really HATE workers. They are ANTI american.
Um, actually, it was 2.6 last quarter...it's already slowing down. And people are starting to realize that they are paying more in taxes, not less under Trump.
Hey, did you hear about Flint, Michigan.. yes, I do believe the rich are happy to let the poor drink poison water.
The poor shouldn't have to buy bottled water. NOBODY should have to buy bottled water because whatever is coming out of the tap is unfit to drink.
The only people paying attention to AOC is you.. and she didn't even change the party affiliation of her district. You missed the 41 seats you DID lose in the house because people are tired of your shit.
Actually, no, I think you lost track of the argument a long time ago.
The US did not lose market share because Union guys made a good living.
They lost market share because the produced an inferior product and generally showed contempt for their customers. I think they've made up the difference in quality since then... but I remember how my 84 Chevette would choke out if I got if over 70MPH, or how my 88 Escort caught on fire that one time.
Those decisions were made in the board rooms, not the assembly lines.
Best way to increase wages is to shrink the labor pool, grow the labor demand... or both. There is nothing more deleterious to the low to middling skilled work force than setting an arbitrary wage (cus they aint gonna get hired)...So if workers make low wages, which is what you clamoring for, how can they afford to live?

Nobody is advocating for lower wages. Just reasonable ones that won't bankrupt businesses.
I'm all for privatization, much like your auto policy, where U can splurge or 'tighten the belt' & shop shop shop for the best bargain weighing catastrophic / vs. likely or unlikely medical needs etc. Give the employee the tax discount, not the company, thereby maximizing wages. Above all else though, ya got to trim the fat in the population by prioritizing the citizenry ONLY.Okay...so companies should not offer healthcare....how do you expect people to afford life in america? Because in your America they wouldn't.
I've never been able to afford to pay my share of employer health care so it's like not having any health care at all. Luckily I got the VA.Most working folk get their insurance from their employer....if this ever goes away those people are screwed...done for.
They are not planning on bringing any 3rd world people in, that is for sure.Japan is not replacing its own population with invaders. A smart move by any metric.
....
Legislation is being passed right now expanding immigration.
It will fail, because Japanese are smart enough to look out for their own interest.
...
Too late, coward. Passed on Dec. 7.
Wrong again, dumbass. Many of the immigrants that will be allowed into the country under this legislation will in fact come from Third World countries or Third World parts of countries. You’re wrong again, as usual.

Why not from 1st world countries? Why not more educated people with quality and work habits?

Except for the fact that nobody ever paid that tax rate. If government is taking 90% of everything you make then it's simply not worth having a business.
Companies and owners stayed here because in the 50's, workers were much closer in pay scales to the rest of the world. We didn't have weather radar and overseas travel was expensive and risky. Even communication was antiquated and expensive. There was no advantage to leaving.
In the 70's unions began to get greedy, and companies began leaving the US. When Reagan realized the problem, he lowered taxes on companies to help keep them here. Reagan knew that government and unions were chasing the rich and their companies right out of the country.
Today with our advanced communications and travel, a company owner can run his business from his cell phone sitting on the toilet. He can keep track of inventory, orders, personal stocks, and supervisors all over the world. Meeting are done on the internet instead of in person.

Unions keep wages at a liveable scale. Nothing wrong with that. The corporations and bankers have unions but they're called the supreme court and government bailouts. Even Obama bailed them out even though he's been accused of being a liberal and a progressive. Too funny that one. We haven't had a liberal in the white house since LBJ.
