    I wouldn’t call it a transfer of wealth, more like reinvestment in the middle class.

    After World War II, America, by way of its government, chose to invest in the middle class. We literally willed the American middle class into existence with tax and education policy. Then the civil rights act. People don’t understand how critical the civil rights act was to black economic well being in America. Prior to 1964 black poverty rates were +55%. Since then black poverty has decreased to 17%.

    None of this is an accident and we have taken it all for granted.

    Wrong. You can bad-mouth Trump all you want. No one gives af. Your problem is you badmouth America.
    And this:

    1. what did I say about America?
    2. You mentioned people of color in the post I quoted and you in an earlier post mentioned that I was disrespecting the troops who died when I criticized Trump. I conflated the two points as an argument against you.

    I NEVER said you were disrespecting our troops when you said: ////"I criticized Trump"////.

    I said that when you were bad-mouthing America's future.

    This is like the 3rd time I have said this. And your "Van is disrespecting the (soldiers) people of color" remark was so far out there... it didn't even make sense bro.

    As I have said in MULTIPLE posts... disrespect Trump all you want... I could give a fuck. But this ongoing "it's the end of democracy" and there will never be any more free elections... I mean... why I even address these type of posts.... in a way is a compliment to you... in what way I'm not sure.... but the fact that I even give them the time of day.... whatever. Lets agree to disagree and just focus on opportunities in the market.

    you brought up troops who died for my freedom (a common fallback argument to accuse someone of not being patriotic).

    I stand by my comments about Americas futures. That’s not badmouthing America. I think Trump has altered democracy in America in a way close to facists and dictators have done in their countries.

    I brought up soldiers of color because you brought up “people of..” and you brought up the argument about soldiers dying for my freedom.

    in one of the later episodes of archer there is a great scene where they talk about the definition of portend. For some reason there isn’t a YouTube clip of it.

    That's the irony of what you are saying.
    You are saying it's the end of Democracy because of Trump. That is bad-mouthing America and all that have died for her.... BECAUSE TRUMP CAN'T END OUR DEMOCRACY, WE ARE TOO STRONG.

    And yeah... I get so sick of hearing we are marginalizing "people of color" because we are deporting some of the 20 million people that are here ILLEGALLY. They could have all came from Norway... we'd still be arresting them and sending them to Alligator Alcatraz.
