The Democratic party is the enemy

Lmfao. Keep failing to provide a source.
Because obviously I'm correct.

Assumption of victory fallacy.

Lots of ignorant forum goofs insist fracking causes no pollution.

I didn't say end fracking.

Just pointing out it should be minimized & planned better.

You want to end fracking. Admit it.
YOU don't get to decide whether fracking occurs or not. You are not the king.

Its funny that in this country I'm basically a swing voter centrist.

But, the ignorance & arrogance on display by many Repubs on this thread is a turn off.

Denying fracking pollution, mocking an Art therapist degree, saying social programs hurt the poor, saying American workers deserve less wages & that I should commit suicide.

Interesting.
Because I could be driven to vote Republican.

I am anti- Abortion, pro-Gun rights, anti- Illegal, for lowering property taxes & for Religious Christian values.

I also however, support national healthcare, environmental protection, in limiting college debt & that social programs help more than they hurt the poor.

I am bemused about these automation predictions. Yet with all our automation we have created MILLIONS of jobs and significantly increased our productivity and quality of life.

Indeed. An entire industry of computer programmers, IT personnel, telecommunications maintenance technicians, and of course online sales companies like Amazon were created out of nothing, simply by the innovation behind the personal computer.
An incredible creation of wealth through automation.

It should be minimized.

In sensible circles people weigh in the benefits & minuses.

Fracking creates jobs true.

But where & how much matter.

First off fracking a ton now releases a ton of resources all at once & also a ton of pollution all at once.

If we minimize it we save the reserves for future generations & soften the pollution blow.

Nah. You're a socialist.

Inversion. The ignorance and arrogance on display is YOURS.

Denying fracking pollution,

Define 'pollution'.

mocking an Art therapist degree,

I would. What the hell is an 'art therapist'???!? What use is it??

saying social programs hurt the poor,

They do. They hurt everyone except government.

saying American workers deserve less wages

American workers, like workers everywhere, deserve the wages the market forces decide. Not a cent more.

& that I should commit suicide.

I'll assume for the moment that you are conflating something.

Interesting.
Because I could be driven to vote Republican.

No one is driving you to anything. You decide what you vote for and no one else.

I am anti- Abortion, pro-Gun rights, anti- Illegal, for lowering property taxes & for Religious Christian values.

Then why are you voting for the Democrats, who are pro-abortion, anti-gun, tax happy, and often attack religions as 'archaic'.

I also however, support national healthcare,

Ah. Because you are a fascist. You support socialism.

environmental protection,

Everyone does. Be specific. You are chanting.

in limiting college debt

Don't take any. That's YOUR decision.

& that social programs help more than they hurt the poor.

Socialism helps no one but government. Socialism is theft. Fascism is a form of socialism. It is on the road to communism.

Amazon is a debacle.
Bezos an embarrassment.

Amazon has killed millions of jobs & created fewer in its place.

You are aware Bezos Amazon is almost Orwellian?

Having Amazon warehouse workers wear even watches which track their activity?

Lmfao.
The market sets poverty wages & then its their fault for people poor.

God forbid if the government helps them.

Repubs are often callous thoughtless brutes.

Unaware that many who receive aid can't work.

It doesn't matter.
Because they dump aid money back into the economy through consumerism.

Freedom only is good if it is for bettering society.

I know a bunch of Scottish bloody thrifty dunderheads down South disagree.

Just know most of the world mocks & despises you.

Productivity is way up along with CEO salaries.

True.

For the masses real wages haven't budged since 1970.

False. Wages are determined by market forces. Government price controls never work.

Capitalism is proving to be about as inferior as Communism.

You are not describing capitalism. You are describing socialism (in the form of fascism).

[BattleofHodow]

I wish we had let the South secede.

The North would be a richer version of Canada
&
The South an English speaking version of Brazil.

[BattleofHodow]

True.

False. Wages are determined by market forces. Government price controls never work.

You are not describing capitalism. You are describing socialism (in the form of fascism).

I didn't argue for price controls.

The reasons for wage stagnation include automation, outsourcing, illegals, feminism, H2B visas & loss of union memberships.

All the bust our balls as Capitalist CEOS rake im the dough.

Much of our taxes & gov expenses go towards the elderly's retirement, veterans, the disabled & schooling for children.

But first, the government takes it's own big cut. Also, the children are not being educated at all well in today's schools, the disabled are often abandoned, the veterans often get terrible medical care, and social security isn't a retirement system, and will soon fail from it's own weight.

Leave it to Republicans to pick on the Vets, the elderly, the disabled & children.

Republicans are picking on any of them. You are chanting.

That doesn't mean abuses don't exist.

Of course they do. The abuse is often by government.

Never denied that.

You just did.

But, a lot of homeless are awaiting section 8 & or didability.

WRONG. The homeless are homeless most often because THEY CHOOSE TO BE. Go out and offer a homeless person to stay in your home for a reduced rent. They will refuse. Go out and offer them pay for chores around the house. They will refuse.

BTW.
Capitalism causes poverty too.

WRONG. Capitalism pays anyone what they are willing to produce that someone is willing to spend money on. FAILURE TO PRODUCE causes poverty.

Republicans commonly blame low wage workers for being that.

Bigotry. You don't get to speak for Republicans. You only get to speak for you.

Proves Republicans don't quite grasp Capitalism.

WRONG. YOU don't grasp capitalism. BTW, 'capitalism' is not a proper noun. It is not capitalized.

Capitalism requires the jobs it does & so long as the market sets poverty wages for sone jobs that will be the case.

WRONG. Capitalism isn't about 'jobs'. It is about anyone who wants to can produce what they want to and try to get people to buy it. No government is required for capitalism to work. It is the only economic system that creates wealth.

Even if everyone had a 140 IQ & a PhD degree some would still be mowing lawns, flipping burgers & cleaning toilets.

Yup. Because they don't produce anything more useful than that. IQ means nothing. It is a completely meaningless number. A PhD degree is not a guarantee of anything. You have to produce something that people are willing to pay for. The degree does not matter.

[Into the Night]

I didn't argue for price controls.

Yes you did.

The reasons for wage stagnation include automation,

Automation creates new jobs and often better wages. Someone has to design and build that automation, and someone has to maintain it. Some is willing to pay for that automation. That means the people who build and maintain it are going to make money.

outsourcing,

Outsourcing is wages paid to people in other countries that otherwise wouldn't have any. You have a problem with this??

illegals,

Illegals come here to make money. Many are willing to produce, by working on a farm during planting or harvest season. Others are willing to be maids or butlers.

feminism,

Feminism has no effect.

H2B visas

Allows someone outside the U.S. to come and enjoy the fruits of capitalism.

& loss of union memberships.

Unions are socialism. They are price controls. Price controls don't work.

All the bust our balls as Capitalist CEOS rake im the dough.

So do the workers.

The obvious fact that YOU can't draw a decent wage simply shows that you are unwilling to produce what people are willing to pay for.
