Sorry, I don't engage in conversation with non-civilized people(or at least people who can't talk in a civilized way)... But, I'll tell you one thing: you might want to have a way to prove that the people you accuse of lying are actually doing it(since this is your M.O.), otherwise, you come out as a screaming child that only embarrasses itself again and again... Just like the other time where you accused me of not being Brazilian and I rubbed the proof in your face on your own terms... Here's the link from the thread, if you don't remember: https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/give-up-my-guns.320633/page-21#post-4658619 So, until you can prove your accusations, you're the only one proving you're full of it... Either way, I don't care and unfortunately, even though I don't like it, I'm forced to put you on ignore, since this is the second time you behave like a screaming child while talking to me... Bye.
Yeh well, Mr. Neotrader might be asking you at some point why- if Reagan was the beginning of the decline- he massively defeated/trounced Jimmy Carter, a sitting President, and evicted him from his public housing on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC. Reagan carried 44 states. Carter? Not so much. Apparently the people did not recognize Carter's stellar qualities. And while Carter was not re-elected, President Reagan was so it is not as though they were pining for the good old days (before the alleged decline?) under Carter. Reagan won 49 states in 1984 and lost only Mondale's home state. Yup. I guess they did not see the big decline that you see.
I've seen your conversations with @Tsing Tao and you just don't get tired of getting your ass handed to you(if you pardon me the expression) again and again by him... I think we even talked about guns one time and like many others, when you can't argue anymore, you either just run away or just start babbling nonsense... Like you did on this post: "The truth is American was a great superpower with great wealth and attainable success way before the so-called Chicago school of economics and Ronald Reagan". I never said that the Chicago School of Economics and Reagan were the cause of America being a superpower... What I said is that, in that school, the ideas on which the U.S. were founded are/were praised. But those ideas are from the beginning of the country's history and the proof of it is it's Constitution, which unlike any other in the world, had as it's primary goal to limit government's power and secure the individual's freedom, which is the greatest source of wealth in this planet. But this is not just my opinion. It is Milton Friedman's, Thomas Sowell's and many other great men that actually studied this matter deeply. So I'll take the Nobel Laureate's opinion over yours(which, regardless of whose opinion it is, I agree for the simple fact that it is pure logic) and tell you that maybe, just maybe, you're the one who needs to study more, if you want to counterargue the opinion of people who dedicated their lives to studying this and reached this conclusion.
You’re so confused it’s ridiculous. You like Tsing are more concerned with superstition than practical application. You believe in things you simply do not understand. The American constitution is not an economic philosophy, it’s a governmental document limiting the government from imposing itself over people’s individual rights. The constitution gives the government broad powers and in no way ensures any economic system, whether free market or otherwise. The power the founders gave to the government to regulate commerce and business in general proves how confused you are. But I’m sure you will not stop and continue to argue nonsense. So yes, I will eventually grow bored of this. Usually happens when I engage people who are stuck on stupid. But if you are interested in actual analysis look at wages and debt prior to Reagan and post Reagan. The proof is always in the proverbial pudding.
As expected, once again you people prove my point... That's OK... You keep living in dream world... Unfortunately, this is exactly my point, when you people wake up, you will already have fucked up the country even more... When the point of no return will be way behind(maybe it is already). I have no intention of arguing with you... As I said, I've seen the way you act when you're cornered by @Tsing Tao and others here... You simply start to vomit nonsense ad eternum even when confronted with logic and facts over and over again... There is no point in arguing with someone like this... Bye.
Turns out moronism is international Yes, because they didnt want government to interfere in their slave business. You seem to have read a lot of bullshit blogs and think you are so smart. Says the Libertarian voter!
You should watch what the black woman on the video I posted when I opened the thread has to say before saying this... One more to prove what I wrote... I don't even have to make an effort... You people do the work for me... Let me put you right there with your other childish buddy who can't speak like a civilized human being...
I don't watch bullshit propaganda, if you want to articulate a point then do it using your own words. Blah blah blah, I don't need a Bolsonaro voter to lecture me on 'civilized human being' .Dumb con pretending to be some articulate libertarian - a real libertarian would speak out against all kind of authoritarianism, all you know of politics is what you read on your FB feed, read a book sometimes starting with Thomas Hobbes and then try to peddle inarticulate incoherent sophistry if you could manage.
libtertarianism is a lifestyle for what I can see is just attention seeking peacocks and not anything to do with a solution for governing a real country.
