    Quite amazing that so many Americans are brainwashed into believing they don't deserve more than the pittance they're being allowed by the very wealthy! Socially responsible government (socialist policies) was given a bad name by the Cold war and now it's going to take a while to get back to normal.

    I know some people from the old Warsaw Pact nations who would argue with you over this.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    It's so amazing that poor Americans have been brainwashed into believing there should be no minimum wage! Shouldn't that be the very wealthy's schtick?

    There shouldn't be a minimum wage. If your skills are so low you can't make it, either improve them or find some left wing, bleeding heart that claims to care for you that will help you.

    They seem to be in favor of a 'Open Border' Policy.
    The Left doesn't seem to realize they are shooting the American Working Class in the back.

    Do you really believe we are losing jobs to immigrants? really? That is a right wing meme. If you want to know where American jobs went, follow corporations and people like Ivanka and Daffy who have their manufacturing to 3rd world countries and China. But Trump says we are at full employment and we should allow some illegals in to fill jobs that cannot be filled now.
    The Repubs through the destruction of Unions and workers rights, and their moving jobs abroad are shooting American workers in the face.You are buying a ridiculous meme.

    No one believes in an open border policy, I ask you to prove that anyone really does!

    There are lots of low-wage/low-skill Americans being put out of work by Third World Labor. Naturally, you and your Elite friends live in Ivory Towers and can't or won't realize this. As you sit there in your Gated Communities, who does the yard maintenance, who is the Cook, the Butler, the Maid, the Chauffer, the Pool Boy? Who is the Construction Crew that is tearing down your two-car Garage and replacing it with a 4 car Garage? Yes, yes, yes, ... all work no American wants to do ... you tell yourself.

    Trump got elected because of people like you who shoot the American Working Class in the back.

    Corporate America does, ... but they are smart enough not to admit it.
    The Republicans held the Senate, House, and Presidency ... did they do anything to stop immigration?
    They put on a good 'Dog & Pony Show' ... but that's about it.

    You're quite wrong on that. If I use universal health care as an example of 'socialist' policy, it becomes obvious that no person from the old Warsaw pact countries would argue with me over that.

    You've missed the point again and it's likely that your anger is causing you to blurt out kneejerk nonsense. Read carefully and you'll find that what I was saying is that social policy or socially responsible capitalism is largely impossible in the US because of the stigmatizing from the Cold war. Socially responsible has been demonized in your mind and the minds of those like you, to see it as communism.

    For somebody who was going to leave that thread, you certainly are sticking around much longer and craving attention. If you don't like the topic then bugger off.
