    I suppose each has his inclinations. Yours seems to be to overstate.

  2. wealth can't trickle up or down until it is created

    one side wants to create
    the other side wants do divide up what has been created

    and if they are progressive, they are already thinking about how they will divide wealth in the future

    I saw that Trump is taking credit for clinton falling in the polls and states he will take bernie apart when needed.

    I believe he will.

    The old America is Europe debate.

    Norway, Sweden and Denmark - tiny, resource rich, and, as of last year, culturally homogeneous. Germany? Germany is the China of Europe. Germany has forced the deindustrialization of the European periphery for their benefit.

    America is neither tiny, resource rich (relative to it's population), culturally homogeneous or an export powerhouse. The culture of self-reliance and independence that existed when generous welfare programs were introduced don't exist anymore. Americans are no longer ashamed or reluctant to take a handout. Nowadays, its a badge of honor to collect welfare and abuse the system.

    We can play these mind games all day. The national debt is nearly 20 Trillion. America doesn't have the money to pay for all this free shit.

    O'Reilly is right. Corporations flee excessive taxation.

    Bernie's 'free-everything' plan taxes the snot out of Corporations and HNW individuals, who clue in and vote with their feet.

    Think of the transaction tax Liberals plan to rake in billions with. Historically, trading volumes are decimated in products taxed with an FTT. Unintended consequences eh

    Perhaps electricity is the only thing he hasn't yet proposed should be "free", but this is hilarious. There was a guy in lucedale Mississippi that claimed to have invented a machine that ran off the local power company's electricity but nevertheless produced more electricity than it used. His name was newman (I think). This reminded me of Newman.
