Voting for Republican economic policies only benefits the top 0.1% of the U.S. population. Why would you vote for them?

If you think socialism is go great? Why are you still here? Why don't you go live in China, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.?

@wildbill83 Do I mention socialism in my statement? Read it again. There are many brilliant economists around today who believe firmly in capitalism. Just not this dreadful rendition of it.

@yogibooboo and what do you propose?

@wildbill83 A capitalist society with government restraints, way better regulated than now. The crash of 2008 should have precipitated this in the financial sector but it hasn't to any degree.

@wildbill83 It isn't as black and white as people are "influenced" into believing. There are many renditions of capitalism, virtually all of them serving the people better than this model. As in the words of one of these economists, its not about left and right anymore, although the influential people want to keep pushing that and make us believe it. It is about Oligarchy versus saving democracy.

@yogibooboo oh yes more regulations how did that do under Obama oh yeah jobs left in droves

@yogibooboo private and public companies are already regulated at the federal and state level. More restraints would be socialistic. You don't know what you're talking about.

@yogibooboo what's your response to my comment? You don't have one do you? You don't know what you're talking about. Like bill said, if you admire government restraints go to one of these countries and live there.

@xRedx There is no simple response to an uninformed, uneducated comment, that's why I didn't think it was worthy of one. I would have to give you a reading list of over 1,000 references before we could begin to engage in anything like coherent discussion. Something tells me that you lack that capacity lol

@yogibooboo How is it uninformed and uneducated? What's your premise on it being uninformed and uneducated? You not liking it doesn't justify it as such. You have no idea what you're talking about. I can give you references on how public and private companies are regulated on those two levels but you'd just deny them because you're incapable of comprehending different views than yours. Not even views, facts. You really are an idiot lol.
