Kicking socialism’s butt...

Capitalism forces nothing...

Horse shit.

Lol
Prove it...

You don't read, stay dumb my friend.

We have a wide-open southern border, with no border enforcement… Just the facts

You just handed over socialism to a corporation that deadbeated on ya son.

Where were you banned from before coming here or, were you banned here and came back with another sock?

 

[dudmuck]

Corporate statism with a walled in population?

Capitalism forces nothing...

It sucks us dry.

Trump tax cuts were only used for stock buybacks and executive bonus.

Na, not really

The Trump administration's $1.5 trillion tax cut package appeared to have no major impact on businesses' capital investment or hiring plans, according to a survey released a year after the biggest overhaul of the tax code in more than 30 years.

The National Association of Business Economics' quarterly business conditions poll, published on Monday, found that while some companies reported accelerating investments because of lower corporate taxes, 84 percent of respondents said they had not changed plans. That compares to 81 percent in the previous survey published in October.

The White House had predicted that the massive fiscal stimulus package, marked by the reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent, would boost business spending and job growth. The tax cuts came into effect in January 2018.

"A large majority of respondents, 84 percent, indicate that one year after its passage, the corporate tax reform has not caused their firms to change hiring or investment plans," said NABE President Kevin Swift.

The lower tax rates, however, had an impact in the goods producing sector, with 50 percent of respondents from that sector reporting increased investments at their companies, and 20 percent saying they redirected hiring and investments to the United States from abroad.

The NABE survey also suggested a further slowdown in business spending after moderating sharply in the third quarter of 2018. The survey's measure of capital spending fell in January to its lowest level since July 2017. Expectations for capital spending for the next three months also weakened.

"Fewer firms increased capital spending compared to the October survey responses, but the cutback appeared to be concentrated more in structures than in information and communication technology investments," said Swift, who is also chief economist at the American Chemistry Council.

According to the survey, employment growth improved modestly in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter. Just over one-third of respondents reported rising employment at their firms over the past three months, up from 31 percent in the October survey. The survey's forward-looking measure of employment slipped to 25 in January from 29 in October

Just further proof Cuba has nothing to offer the rest of the world...

Cuba tornado: Rare 3 dead and 172 injured - CNN

Cuba and the Cuban people have a tremendous amount to offer the world. Not at all unlike Mexico, Venezuela, and other countries, they could be a wealthy and prosperous country but for their leaders. I've not been there anytime recently but I was there a number of times many decades ago. The beauty of the island is beyond belief.

We always need to decide who their leaders will be, because we believe in democracy and stuff. That should give us all pause. Maybeeeeee. The beef american society has with those nations is indeed, in general, like it was/is, stupid that it still is, with Cuba. The US has always been territorial with the western hemisphere. Then the technology got better, and we got territorial with the planet. Look at where all our military is; ~800-1000 bases across the globe, we the people are not allowed to really know. Global. Occupying. Come on now, no one can argue we're not militarily occupying another nation's space. Nah, we can't say we're invited, mixed emotions across the board overall at best given our current eight generational wars. We go to war because US corporations are not getting the access they want from the given governmental structure of the nation targeted. Forget the altruistic pitch, we've been destabilizing Venezuela for quite some time, routine stuff for US in South and Latin America. Yeah yeah we built the canal, and then we owned Panama for how long.

Castro tossed out US corporations. So did Chavez. That's when we began the economic warfare in Venezuela. We're just ramping up the next phase.

I don't think we really grasp what a hold concentrated wealth and power have on the political system, or how closely intertwined some entity like say Amazon, Google, or FaceBook is, with the political system and our monopolized media landscape.

Again, imagine this with today's technology: Edward Bernays - Wikipedia

Venezuela sits on the largest oil reserves in the world and we have a conniption fit any time any South or Latin American country embraces socialism however they get there, voting, revolution, doesn't matter, we WILL manufacture a rationale to attempt to topple them and/or assassinate their leaders. Easy peasy. This is just history you know.

War without end
Amen
Amen

I don't know. I'm just thinking about it. I think america might get a little better off if we'd all stop "believing in" shit and start thinking.

There is a half century trajectory to this situation. It's been been no accident and it's been bipartisan. Better locate a clue, you ain't immune.

Oh, that's right. Democrats want us to be just like Cuba. And Venezuela. And Cuba.

How so ? You righties misuse the word “socialism “ so much it’s laughable.

I was joking. And I'm a left-leaning independent.

You don't need to be a hypersensitive neurotic ALL the time, ya know.

Bird bath deep and cowardly to boot. Not a good site for discussion, great for poo flinging though. Think tweeterheads.
