@whowasthatmaskedman A pox on both their houses.

@irishmolly72 We may not always agree on everything. But I got your back on this one. They are both exceedingly poxy houses..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it's capitalism that crashes you periodically so it can own you. As the world's policeman, the USA may crash you anytime it's good for business.

@Roundandroundwego Umm No..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman exactly. Every four to six years a crash and the capitalist class gets richer -. Or, "ummm no" if you support this kind of thing.

@Roundandroundwego We are not arguing that this is what happens. Just that this is not textbook Capitalism. This is the perverted Oligarchy model that wraps itself in god and the flag, convices everyone they are charlton heston and shears and milks the sheep while telling them its freedom and they are lucky to live in the greatest nation on earth. When you take it apart and tote the pluses and minuses, life in Russia isnt that different. Except maybe for all that god crap...😷

@Roundandroundwego Yeah Stalin was way better than banks crashing. 🙄

The key to success in America is simple. Strong values, strong families, decent communities which allow everyone to thrive. The problem is that these traits compete with big government power, so they were destroyed decades ago by the left. Now we are experiencing the comeuppance.

Why do illegal immigrants dsperately try to come here? How many americans clamor to get into China? Africa? Russia? The key to success in America is simple.

@irishmolly72 Sorry. The reason most of your "illegals" want to cross your borders is to escape even worse conditions for the peasants in most south American countries. You wont find to many educated people among them. Its the dispossessed farmers and the poor, or those targetting by the regime for speaking out. So then, not getting shot at or hunted is enough.. Saying America is not the best place doesnt mean its the worst. The other migrants you get are of course the economic ones, who have skipped their home with money and want a new life. Trump Tower is half full of them. Just dont ask too many questions..
But your middle class professional people, looking for a better life for the family. Canada is a better bet..😷

And so what socialist countries have better conditions for the peasants, and why don't those peasants clamor to go there instead? I don't suppose the massive amounts of imported illegal drugs are coming in through illeagal immigration either. No mention of that.
Generally speaking, the most socialist countries are the ones people want to leave.

@irishmolly72 Its pretty hard to walk to Norway from Venezuela, or to The Netherlands. or France.. Or Australia. You have the disadvantage of sharing land borders on the Americas. Cut my guess is if you ran a shuttle service all the way to Canada these people would prefer to settle in a place with a better health care system and friendlier people..😷
