Unless they're poor, huh?
I'm a libertarian
Yes, because you live in a fantasy world where neoliberal economics somehow benefit the poor. We've already had this discussion.
tried to pin-point what economic policies I support which help the poor,
Easy, there are none. What do I win?
Dear boy, flattery will get you nowhere.
I'm serious, though. If you're going to criticise my politics, at least do it correctly. Do yourself the dignity of being informed. If not, then fuck, have a nice day and see you l8er allig8er.
What do you mean by neoliberal economics?I don't know why you guys get into all this jargon and argue semantics. This is all very simple. Money needs to circulate. It needs to be spent on programs to decrease poverty, programs to decrease violence, programs to help small family businesses. Large investments need to be made into various fields of science, hydroponic food, and renewable energy. If it wasn't for our money being stolen by people who are practically royalty instead of elected officials, these things wouldn't be happening. What should we do? I'm not sure. But it's pretty damn clear this system is not working out. The corrupt run the world and are destroying our future while we kill each other over the crumbs that fall of their table. I'm not even sure where you guys are trying to go with this, but I can assure you we're all on the same side and we shouldn't be arguing like this.
Only one of us has tried to justify sweat shops, I think that's a good enough indicator of how informed we both are.Au revoir.
Holy shit really?That's a new low Meta ._.
Neoliberal is a not-so-nice word for trickle-down economics, AKA the opposite of all the things you're advocating in this post.I have to say, you're on the right track to realizing how broken our western political system is.
I didn't try to "justify" sweat shops. I said employment was preferable to unemployment. There's a reason such jobs are high in demand, and when somebody as far Left of me as Paul Krugman agrees you need to re-evaluate, mate. I'm not the one who wants to throw the poor back to subsistence living.
Oh for fuck's sake, read the fucking article.
Supply-side economics and trickle-down are the same thing, despite how loudly you want to deny it.
Nobody advocates trickle down economics here. Not even Kinder, but I might be wrong and he may just Surprise us all. LOL Why are you being so condescending? It's broken mostly due to apathetic youngsters. If people would vote Democrat in the mid terms and get a Democratic president in you'd see serious progress. Had you guys down that for Obama's terms things would be better. The way things stand now he's getting president blocked everywhere he goes.
Or better yet, no politicians at all!Anyone??? I can't be the only technocrat here?
Not true. Obama has been trying to pass a bunch if stuff, he just gets stalled every time. That's the apathy I'm talking about. I mean, why not let the left take full control for a while and see what happens? What exactly do we have going for us right now that we're so scared to lose?
Why do Republicunts enjoy fucking the entire country over?
