RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.
"When I am president I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf" Donald J. Trump, world class snake oil salesman and compulsive golfer August 2016
The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

Wrong
It’s called Socialism...Communism.
Capitalism has created more wealth for more people and lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic unit on earth, America hating Iolo sock.
Why do you think people swim rivers, walk over mountains and deserts and get on rafts to come to America?

That does put the worst face on it, it is however taxonomically /system design rated "true' by yours truly.
I concede capitalism involves leadership, organizational intelligence and has benefits of the development and production
of goods and services not possible without a personal profit motive. Capitalism leverages selfishness to entice the best
and brightest to succeed. With that success comes the unfairness, inhumanity, exploitation and diversion of productive output (wealth)
to over benefit unduly the leadership, cunning, guile, and innovative traits I loosely listed. That is me putting the "best face" on Capitalism.
Truly it is an amalgamation of worst and best characterizations, which is basically reciting a truism.

If Capitalism is abhorrent to you, emigrate to a Socialist country...like Venezuela...bring food...and batteries.
Or the workers paradise, Cuba, where the average wage is 24 dollars per month.
Agreed. Basically, it is an evolutionary phase we have to go through: it creates wealth, but wastes it and prevents the majority enjoying it. Incidentally, any successful crime involves leadership and organizational intelligence. That's the same from Al Capone to Hitler!

Economy. Wales is a sparsely populated region of the UK. In 2016, it made up 8.4% of the UK's landmass but had only 4.7% of its population (3.11 million people). With a GDP per capita (PPS) of €22,600 in 2016 and only 3.4% of the UK's total GDP (Eurostat, 2018), it also underperforms economically.
Wales is once again least productive of the UK nations and regions, according to the latest figures on the economy.
Regional gross value added (GVA) tables show that on average workers in Wales generated £19,899 per head.
GVA calculates the value of what we produce in terms of services we give and the things we make at work.
The GVA in Wales grew by 2.7% in 2017 - slower than in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England. Average growth across the UK was 3%.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes the figures for Wales annually.
They help tell us more about how people in different areas are fairing in terms of their opportunities and living standards.
