Target Stores Announce Many Closures..or "How to Squeeze Middle Class to Your Own Fiscal Death"

[Ringel05]

How can someone actually be as clueless as have enough synapses to even breath?
You honestly have no idea that American politics has basically devolved into "tribalism" ? Well since you're an idiot I'll tell you who Robert Reich is, he was Bill Clintons Secretary of Labor which to you probably means he's a right wing fanatic but he wrote this article that sums up what is happening in the world and in US politics now;

Robert Reich The New Tribalism and the Decline of the Nation...

The New Tribalism and the Decline of the Nation State

Well as long as someone gives an OPINION (like you) he can't be wrong correct? lol

But I'll note you STILL can not provide examples of classical liberals versus libertarians, lol

I did, just because you don't have the acumen to think through what I posted doesn't mean I didn't aptly describe the differences. I'm not responsible for your lack of cognitive ability.

Well as long as someone gives an OPINION (like you) he can't be wrong correct?

If you were just smart enough to see the irony.......

Sure YOU did

"Unfettered capitalism only helps those who are Machiavellian enough to succeed that's why our founding fathers believed in finding a balance as advocated by Classical Liberalism, not neo-classical Liberalism or Libertarianism, (the modern equivalent of neo-classical). Basically government only regulates the free market as is needed to prevent cheating, theft and monopolies"

Yeah, THAT'S nothing like what libertarians believe, they ALL want US to be like Somalia right? lol


Weird, opinion as proof of 'tribes'? lol

There has ALWAYS been 'tribes' Bubba, just because you are dishonest and can't admit you are a right wing nutter but play a 'moderate' doesn't mean jack shit!!!

Actually libertarians don't even believe in that moron and obviously I wasn't clear, I also hold some social liberalism ideals but it would matter any way, you've made up your mind because I don't agree with you wholeheartedly, a true sign of a zealot.

Sure Bubba, LIBERTARIANS DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS:

"Basically government only regulates the free market as is needed to prevent cheating, theft and monopolies"

Talk about a dishonest POS

And NO, It's not from this one article I'm calling you out as a RIGHT WING NUTTER, BUT FROM YOUR HISTORY OF POSTS BUBBA!!!!

My history of posts....... Sure thing Sputz. Obviously you lie a lot. You've been exposed for the leftist moonbat you truely are, the shoe fits, you really need to wear it.
Oh and don't palm your meds again next time nurse Ratched comes around, they're supposed to help you alleviate these delusional fantasies you're experiencing.
your constant utilization of large and CAPITAL print in your responses shows desperation with a hint of megalomania, given the right circumstances you'd probably believe you're Jesus Christ.

Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announces that it will close 11 locations as of February 1, 2015. Target Announces Upcoming Store Closures Target Corporate

First it will start in the poorest locations and spread outward.

When the rich gather industry and monopolize markets that used to be in the hands of many (visit your local mall and see what I'm talking about), the wealth gets superconcentrated in a few individuals. That's the 1% that the 99% have a beef with.

Then it gets so epidemic, so bad that finally the 1% start to feel the pinch. So their "solution" instead of tightening CEO belts is to squeeze the middle class even further by depriving them jobs...

OK...I'm exaggerating a little here. You cannot be considered part of the middle class by working at target. But when even the working poor cannot afford to buy anything, the low-end retail stores have to start closing.

I'll just leave the readers here with a visual image of what this American Malignant Capitalism has done. Henry Ford knew enough about real capitalism to pay his workers a wage where they could afford to buy his cars. It's not rocket science dear 1%ers...Eventually EVEN YOU will have to pay the piper for your bad behavior..

Kindergarten question: Q: "How many of the robots below will be buying clothes at Target?"

I have a Target Red Card. I went to Target looking for a few things before Christmas. I didn't find anything I was looking for. Their selection on many things was minimal. If you don't sell things people want, they will go elsewhere. I've always liked Target, but I haven't spent any money there in quite some time. Maybe they need to re-evaluate the goods they are selling. I can't stand Walmart, but I ended up buying some things at Walmart because they had what I was looking for.

Mar 28, 2014 - I made a trip to Walmart yesterday. I had 42 items on my shopping list. 12 of those items had an empty shelf.

You guys are arguing like babies. Of course a centralized government never works. Of course malignant capitalism never works. This thread's aim is at some sort of compromise. Or, rather, for the powers in this country who regulate industry to hire an actual mathematician..

You know... "If the middle class only has "x" amount of liquid cash each month then what figure "y" represents the number of sales any industry can expect to make?...

I think that's taught at like the Jr. High level? And what do you know, y'all are acting like a bunch of Jr. High schoolers..

Well over-regulation and over-taxing can also squeeze the middle class.

On the one hand, I sure do enjoy having a military, roads to drive on, fire protection, public education and clean water to drink and bathe in. On the other hand, I'd like some money left over after paying my bills each month to buy a few sundries, maybe a new pair of underwear and a random drive in the country or a new appliance once in a blue moon..

Not at all. Most people want the fulfillment of earning a living. It's just that most people don't want to dedicate the entirety of their days and energy for most of the week to a job that cannot pay the bills no matter how hard they work...and where they see the longtime employees getting sacked two months before their retirement comes due (an epidemic) from some manufactured offense....and where they see zero chance at meaningful advancement.

Industry has bred the apathetic worker by refusing to value and honor labor. It isn't that people don't want a feeling of self-esteem of providing for themselves and their families with perhaps one day off a week to watch some football or go for a walk. It's that this is impossible for the majority of the working poor; which used to be called "the middle class" once upon a time.

This is about rich industrialists mounting an assault on the middle class, who are their workers, and then throwing their hands in the air when their sales drop...unable or unwilling to explore their role in the problem..
