SISTERV 3,887 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 thats the vicious cycle were in. Higher government spending helps the economy short term... But the higher taxes and debt long term put a real strain on entre-preneurship and business investment... more people become unemployed long term and the economy is less productive. A higher percentage of people thus become dependant on social assistance peograms additionally these programs dont make u better off than if you have a real job that pays decently. You make a better living, and contribute to economic activity at the same time without being a drain social programs and regulation have been on the rise in the developed world for the past 40-50 years. If that was suppostu actually help the middle class, income inequality shouldnt be rising Look at America after 2 terms if Democrats... Income inequality still rising, part-time jobs are a real trend, and the 5.1% unemployment is misleading because if take inti consideration that labor force participation has dropped down to 62%, the amount of people actually working is diminished. Retirees from aging population can only partially explain the big drop. Discouraged workers and people on welfare and food stamps explain the rest investment and entrepreneurship an innivation generates wealth... More employment also means more labor competition and so people get more of the economic pie with raises Socialism doesnt encourage wealth generation... It just desperately tries to recycle it by yanking it from the people who have more. If the government is really competent, investments money really well in infrastructure and education, those are silverlinings of socialism and can create competitivess in things companies look at besides tax rates. I think thats why a small portion of socialist Countries have succeeded (like scandinavia) but if u prioritize education and infrastructure which are investments anyway that alone doesnt require high taxes unfortunately the idea of yanking wealth from the successfull sounds appealing to the ones struggling and ppl dont really think about how it might backfire on them and actually make it worse in the endomg I love you lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SISTERV 3,887 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I remember you saying you were voting for Trump a couple of weeks ago.Or am I wrong? I did. However, I feel he hasn't stoppd being ridiculous. I wouldI vote for him, but Fiorina has similar pro business principles without making ridiculous sketchy statements. I was willing to let ggo of Trumps past comments because he was an entertainer, but he hasn't stopped and it's damaging him. Fiorina has more class. She is like Margaret Thatcher or Olivia Pope.....badass...but smart about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
