    It just so happened that the very poor were not located in America. They were in India China and other countries. The economists just didnt tell you that part.

    A small detail, but an important one..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    New data from Sam Brownback’s Kansas destroys the GOP myth that tax cuts create jobs

    e state of Kansas, where Gov. Sam Brownback’s right-wing economic program and handling of the state finances have reached comedic levels of absurdity, is now also failing at a key economic test: Keeping up with the neighboring state.

    In his latest column, Kansas City Star opinion writer Yael Abouhalkah, a strong critic of Brownback’s who has made a regular beat of busting the governor and his advocates, highlights the newest data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, which show the disparity in job numbers between the Kansas and Missouri sides of the Kansas City metro area.

    “The data, in fact, are extremely discouraging for Brownback and the few remaining people who thought his tax cuts would act like a jobs magnet for the Sunflower State,” writes Abouhalkah. “The bottom line: Missouri gained employment almost five times faster than Kansas in the metro region over the full year from February 2015 to February 2016.”

    The Missouri side of the state line added 13,900 total jobs from February 2015 to February 2016, a local rate of 2.4 percent. By contrast, the Kansas side added just 2,200 jobs, a rate of just 0.5 percent. (The Missouri side of metro area is slightly larger than the Kansas side to begin with.)

    Earlier this year, Brownback was still boasting of his goal of cutting taxes in order to bring jobs into the Kansas side of the metro area, by cutting taxes and containing public spending: “This is the basic philosophy of what we’re trying to get done in Kansas.”

    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.

    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    A couple of billion people have been left poverty because of capitalism. Is that a bad thing because it's not "America first"?

    I have no argument with capitalism.
