Suck on this Trump hating libtards

[quote]"I still believe the big story this year is an economic boom that most folks thought impossible," Larry Kudlow, chairman of the National Economic Council and a chief advisor to Trump, said in a recent interview with CNBC.com. "I understand that he's been in for a year and a half, but when you look at those numbers, this is not going away."

Indeed, the economy does seem to be on fire, and it's fairly easy to draw a straight line from Trump's policies to the current trends.[/quote]

This is why you are going to continue to lose. As one of The Rapist in Chief's, Bubba Boy Clintoon' advisors put it, "It's the economy stupid."

Yes, the economic system that really isn't working for 90% of the population.......the big story is basically how the mega rich got richer.

@gol979 I got a raise. All my coworkers got a raise. One thought it wasn't enough so he left and got a significant raise at another job. None of us are "mega rich." If the economy isn't working for you quite complaining that it's somebody else's fault and just go get yourself a better job.

@xinbabaNah. Do what the failing and gutless Baby-trump does... blame everyone else. It's your fault.

@xinbaba well done you and your colleagues 👍👍 I'm pretty sure you know how wealth is concentrated there's a wage stagnation unheard of since the great depression, the dismantling of the welfare system, short term profit goals, transfer of public "wealth" to private interests, education as a market (in fact everything as a market), imperialism for resources and subversion of alternative ideas, wage slavery, inflated property prices (that were propped up by QE) it goes on and on........all I was saying is that there are way better alternatives to capitalism. Do you agree? And why shouldn't I complain when this system is heaping so much misery globally. Can we not have a discussion about alternatives?

@gol979 no published financial statistics back up what you are saying

401K growth alone, has contributed $4.5 TRILLION to the wealth of more than 70% of American families

And that does not include pensions, IRAs, SEPs, or Real Estate ... which is another several TRILLION

The wealth of Black American families has doubled from 401ks and real estate

Aren't the nations that have a capitalistic economy wealthier as a whole?

@questionWeaver there's plenty of evidence mate. And what you're saying isn't addressing any of the points I made in my previous comment.

questionWeaver

@xinbaba yes ... the United States is worth $300 TRILLION

The combination of things that occurred in the last 18 months ... strong currency, market rise, strong commodities, tariffs, real estate ... is estimated to have increased the US Wealth more than $30 Trillion

@xinbaba capitalist economy = free markets. Free markets are a complete fallacy.
Are there other forms of economic systems apart from capitalism? There were the beginnings of but the free market psychopaths soon put an end to that

xinbaba · 61-69, M

North Korea? Cuba?
Interesting that China has incrementally moved towards a "free market" system in the past 30 years. Wonder what they all learned from an alternate system.

gol979 · 41-45, M

@xinbaba North Korea bombed pretty much out of existence and has sanctions imposed on it, almost the same with cuba. They learnt that when you have the reigns of power and you want to accumulate wealth fraudulently then the "free market" is the way to go.
Also, the bank bailouts completely debunks free market ideology

questionWeaver

@gol979

Mate, I am telling you ... the United States has experienced the widest distribution of wealth in the history of the planet.

Widest!

No social plan has ever come close

The last 18 months even eclipsed social security

@gol979 seriously, is that your or CNN's opinion?

gol979 · 41-45, M

@TexChik if you see CNN ever mention any of those subjects then follow up with an answer that isn't capitalism please let me know
