You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

[Luckyone]

No ….democrats do support racist ideals, like white people being privileged. And racial hiring quotas… Only radical lefty would justify such policies through their radical leftist world views. Why can’t they be honest and recognize that slavery and bigotry war worldwide issues. Having a racial hiring quota in America in 2024 is another form of racism.

There’s no way around that point. Well, you could attempt to troll and just say “no that’s not right” but that is actually occurring right now and you know it probably is. Or maybe you’re just simply unaware of it which would mean you’re not up-to-date with the news, my friend.

Yes, if you believe in the Bible.

The Bible says nothing about 'homosexuality' as an innate dimension of personality. Sexual orientation was not understood in biblical times.

Let's take a look at those numbers in the chart at the link you and 'Faun' provided.
We'll do the number shown in December of year elected to December of last year in office. Though there are some years of declines in jobs, usually a year or few later we see the uptrend again.

Bush 41...... +2 1/2 million Jan. 1989: 107,161 - Dec. 1992: 109,500 = 2,339 (close)
Clinton....... +23 million Dec. 1992: 109,500 - Dec. 2000: 132,718 = 23,218 (close)
Bush 43...... +1 1/2 million Dec. 2000: 132,718 - Dec. 2008: 134,848 = 2,130 (a bit off )
Obama....... +11 1/2 million Dec. 2008: 134,848 - Dec. 2016: 145,410 = 10,865 (a bit off, again)
Trump ........ -2 1/2 million Dec. 2016: 145,410 - Dec. 2020: 142,518 = 2,892 (a bit off)
Biden .......... +15 1/2 million Dec. 2020: 142,518 - June 2024: 158,609 = 16,518 (close, and better)

You have proven our point! Thanks

Total ridiculous NONSENSE, but typical of the jibberish that Democrats toss around,

Since Biden took office, businesses have been closing like crazy, due to the astronomical rents, and nobody has any money left to buy anything.

Sam Ash Music just went out business, after 100 years. AMERICANS are losing jobs by the millions. Millions more are losing jobs to Biden's illegal aliens.

The last word a Democrat should ever want to say is "jobs"

LOL You're blaming Dems for high rents? The Dems are the first ones that advocate for rent-controls and lowering rent prices, while right-wing Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop rent control and lowering rents. You're all for subsidizing the rich:

And you constantly flip the finger to the working class. You're for socialism for the wealthy and "FU" for the working class, "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps bucko, you fukn bum, get to work, stop complaining...". You're for a "fiscal responsible economic policy", when the government is serving the needs of the American working class, asking questions like "whose going to pay for it?"..."we're running out of money, OMG! We're going broke! OMG!"...But when it comes to subsidizing the wealthiest people in our society, not one peep from you. You remain quiet.

​

Spend trillions bailing out the rich, subsidizing them, with public funds, and you never ask "whose going to pay for it", only when the government spends money, on the working class, do you start whining. You hypocrites.

Since when do governors write legislation?

Governors can write bills and get someone in the legislature to submit it. SOP. And Walz was a representative for several years before becoming governor and, of course, governors sign legislation. However, the story I just related came from my sister and now that I look it up, I find that Minnesota does not have mandatory bereavement leave. I should have known better than to trust her without verification. Mea culpa.

 

[Stryder50]

Show me. Teach me what you know. If it is based on facts, data, and statistics, I will pay attention to it. Otherwise, I will treat it as the BS I think you are spouting.

Start with a standard dictionary and look up the words;
Wealth
Creation
Redistribution

Then, excerpts;
...
Today, “capitalism”, meaning “free enterprise” is assigned the blame for ever expanding wealth inequality. The United States can no longer be said to be a free market economy, pursuant to the above definition, none the less, capitalism is identified with the United States as a nation of private capitalism.

Today corporate welfare has become so prolific in the USA that it seems improbable that there exist major corporations which are not capitalized by the public.

If there are no existing macro-corporations which are not on welfare, that means the free market economy in the USA is equivalent to the micro-economy. Most who hold the view that capitalism is the cause of wealth inequality probably think they are blaming large corporations for wealth inequality, but if capitalism means the free market economy, it is the micro-economy that is held primarily responsible for an ever expanding gulf in wealth inequality, since the taxpayer subsidized macro-economy no longer meets the qualifications for a free market economy.

This is more significant that it seems at first consideration, since in practice the wealth redistribution economy oppresses entrepreneurial opportunity at the bottom of the economy where the roots that grow into a micro-economy are seeded. The redistribution economy distributes social justice in the form of living rations to the bottom of the economy (socialism) and reserves distributions of capital to develop opportunities for the top (fascism).
...
A free market economy cannot fairly exist in a wealth redistribution economy as prominent as it is today in the USA. Free enterprise continues to function but the State writes the terms, playing the role of a powerful corporation that competes unfairly and assigns the winners and the losers within the market. The American free market economy isn’t what it used to be. Blaming the free market economy when the root cause is wealth redistribution is a case of mistaken identity.
...

 

[Stryder50]

MAGA hates the working class.

MAGA is the working class, in the private, free enterprise sector.

Why did state and local governments give Boeing $15.4 billion in subsidies?

while right-wing Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop rent control and lowering rents. You're all for subsidizing the rich:

Was the Washington state government controlled by the Republicans when they gave
Boeing $13.2 billion in subsidies?

 

[Stryder50]

You have proven our point! Thanks

Partially.

The data base used doesn't differentiate between private sector (wealth creation) jobs compared to public sector (wealth redistribution) jobs.
Data reality is further obscured by fact that government contracts, say for military equipment or new roads, might use private sector jos but they are paid for out of public sector redistributed wealth.

When It Comes to Wealth Creation, There Is No Pie​

by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins | June 14, 2011 | Forbes.com
...
Metaphors, to use an overused metaphor, are a double-edged sword: sometimes they clarify, sometimes they confuse. One metaphor responsible for a great deal of confusion is that of wealth as a pie — a metaphor that shows up again and again in debates over income inequality.

“No matter how you slice it, when it comes to income and wealth in America the rich get most of the pie and the rest get the leftovers,” writes a critic of income inequality. “[T]he people who are in the top 1 percent today earn a larger share of the income pie than the people who were in the top 1 percent 25 years ago,” notes economist Russ Roberts, a non-critic.

One implication of the pie metaphor is that wealth is a zero-sum game: there is a fixed amount of houses, cars, medicines, etc., to go around, and the more Steve Jobs gets the less is left for the rest of us. That may have had some plausibility 250 years ago when most wealth was in the form of land. But today, when an iPhone 3G verges on outdated technology, it’s impossible to miss the fact that wealth grows. Roberts puts the point this way: “[T]he pie is not constant. So your well-being can grow even when your share of the pie falls if the pie is getting sufficiently larger.”

Wealth grows. True. But the pie metaphor carries with it another implication, which Roberts doesn’t challenge. It treats wealth as owned by society. We happen to find ourselves in possession of a pie. How did it get here? That’s never made too clear, but it’s here, and now we have to decide how to divide it up fairly.

In accepting the pie metaphor, we concede a moral point that should not be conceded. Wealth does not arise from an amorphous social process; “society” owns no pie.

Wealth is created by and morally belongs to the individual creator. As Rand observes, since “man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who has no right to the product of his effort has no means to sustain his life. The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave.”

Metaphors, to use an overused metaphor, are a double-edged sword: sometimes they clarify, sometimes they confuse. One metaphor responsible for a great deal of confusion is that of wealth as a pie — a metaphor that shows up again and again in debates over income inequality. “No matter how you...

Partially.

The data base used doesn't differentiate between private sector (wealth creation) jobs compared to public sector (wealth redistribution) jobs.
Data reality is further obscured by fact that government contracts, say for military equipment or new roads, might use private sector jos but they are paid for out of public sector redistributed wealth.

any way you want to put it, "skewed" is the word you used. Skewed means that if you are right, the only problems is that the numbers might be "skewed" off. Nonetheless, the reality is that the original numbers at 96% to 4% and being skewed is not going to change them enough to make a big difference in the percentages.

Start with a standard dictionary and look up the words;
Wealth
Creation
Redistribution

Then, excerpts;

Today, “capitalism”, meaning “free enterprise” is assigned the blame for ever expanding wealth inequality. The United States can no longer be said to be a free market economy, pursuant to the above definition, none the less, capitalism is identified with the United States as a nation of private capitalism.

Today corporate welfare has become so prolific in the USA that it seems improbable that there exist major corporations which are not capitalized by the public.

If there are no existing macro-corporations which are not on welfare, that means the free market economy in the USA is equivalent to the micro-economy. Most who hold the view that capitalism is the cause of wealth inequality probably think they are blaming large corporations for wealth inequality, but if capitalism means the free market economy, it is the micro-economy that is held primarily responsible for an ever expanding gulf in wealth inequality, since the taxpayer subsidized macro-economy no longer meets the qualifications for a free market economy.

This is more significant that it seems at first consideration, since in practice the wealth redistribution economy oppresses entrepreneurial opportunity at the bottom of the economy where the roots that grow into a micro-economy are seeded. The redistribution economy distributes social justice in the form of living rations to the bottom of the economy (socialism) and reserves distributions of capital to develop opportunities for the top (fascism).

A free market economy cannot fairly exist in a wealth redistribution economy as prominent as it is today in the USA. Free enterprise continues to function but the State writes the terms, playing the role of a powerful corporation that competes unfairly and assigns the winners and the losers within the market. The American free market economy isn’t what it used to be. Blaming the free market economy when the root cause is wealth redistribution is a case of mistaken identity.

This is a chart you need to see

You are making one BIG mistake. The Democrats are not looking to be a socialist country. They believe in Democratic Socialism, such as Norway has. In addition, no one is trying to get rid of Capitalism. All that is being done is to have some controls and restrictions, so that it is not "unfettered" as the chart shows.

This is what our forefathers wanted when they made the Constitution. They wanted compromise between the parties so no extremes were able to be reached. Uncontrolled Socialism (Communism) is as bad and Uncontrolled Capitalism. Both have to be restricted and controlled so the good comes out and is used and the bad of each is not given a chance to come out.

Do you understand????? It is the center of politics. Not the Far Right or the Far Left.

Why did state and local governments give Boeing $15.4 billion in subsidies?

while right-wing Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop rent control and lowering rents. You're all for subsidizing the rich:

Was the Washington state government controlled by the Republicans when they gave
Boeing $13.2 billion in subsidies?

I don't care if the government helps the private sector, provided it also serves, and meets the needs, of the working class. Republicans, mostly, are for socialism for the capitalist class exclusively, whether they know it or admit it or not. OK, we also need socialism for the working class. Socialism for both, not just one class at the expense of the other. At least the Dems are a bit more conscious of the needs of the working class, whereas Republicans hold workers in contempt. They're mostly the party of the rich and powerful.

Businesses need help, some assistance, OK, no problem. I'm for helping American businesses that create jobs and keep their businesses here in America. Especially American manufacturers who hire American labor. We currently have a market-capitalist system, and socialism mitigates its inherent contradictions, and flaws and addresses its needs. I'm for helping both employers and employees, not just the employers.

Help businesses, help workers too. Get it? ​
