that is a silly lie of course. Republicans are for capitalism and thus let 10,000 employers go bankrupt each month.
Lafayette, although the right wing of USA's political spectrum do not explicitly acknowledge their positions, they're proponents of government's policies and laws that favor employers
, they're proponents of government's policies and laws that favor employers and effectively hinder organization of employees
Most of those same USA right wingers are opposed to the federal minimum wage.
Annual trade deficits are always net detrimental to their nation's GDP and drag upon their numbers of jobs.
James972 aka EdwardBaiamonte, an employer's normally increase or decrease their enterprise's production to satisfy market conditions. This in many cases means increasing or decreasing their employees numbers or work hours.another silly lie of course. Republicans favor capitalism so prevent workers and owners from organizing each other.
right wingers have intelligence and compassion so don't want a minimum wage that makes it illegal to hire someone not worth the minimum wage.
so you want tariff taxes on the American people to cripple our industries so they are even less competitive in world markets?? Notice how a liberal will get everything perfectly backwards?
"preferring taxi unions over Uber"
In their rush to wealth the 1% killed the goose that laid the golden egg … the middle class. Trickle down economics is proving to be suicide capitalism. Now rather than try to fix the problem, and do what is necessary to make everyone economically healthy, they have moved to a piranha feeding frenzy with the goal of "getting theirs while the getting is good". Trumps "tax cut" is Trickle Down v.2. Trickle Down is what got, all of, US in this bubble/crash cycle … it's not going to get us out of it and in fact, this new version, will make things exponentially worse.
Both parties are bought by wealthy private interests in balance,
A silly liberal lie, which is why after being asked 5 times the liberal you cant provide an obvious example of Republican party being bought. Embarrassing!
It's a global depression that is coming but I want to talk about these idiots who were forged on Victim Culture and are looking for someone to take care of them.
They are future serfs for their betters.
So you are in the group that feels something important is of kilter....that is a start.
Look, there pretty much is no America anymore...... there is no longer a single thing that binds us together, there is nothing that we all believe in, the social glue has been allowed to degrade to the point that the society is breaking down....And we tend to be unwilling to maintain our borders...And we are in the middle of a civil war over what America should become......And the Left especially has decided that running over people is fine, that getting to UTOPIA demands that the unfit be thrown overboard "SHUT UP AND DIE!"
Trickle down to small, medium and large US businesses is a thing...and it's a good thing. If that also requires trickle down to globalists, so be it.
Trump tax policy is a very good thing for workers, small, medium and large US businesses. Trump has other policies that are not so good for the globalists, their lobbyists and their Congressional toadies.
Ask yourself why the US Chamber of Commerce is against everything Trump does. Then look at who they donate to and lobby for.
Globalists are enormously threatened by Trump.

Also no one asked me personally for any examples.
And if you think that corps spend hundreds of millions to billions collectively on lobbyists, campaign contributions, PACS, and other avenues of political influence without expecting a return on investment of some kind, I don't know what to tell you.
A silly liberal lie, which is why after being asked 5 times the liberal you cant provide an obvious example of Republican party being bought. Embarrassing!
Being so obtuse is no defense.
,
then it portends the abject failure of capitalism.

Get ready now, the 'communists' own well over a trillion$ of capitalist debt. Isn't that precious ?
James972, IMO, both major parties are terrified by the National Rifle Association but the Democratic Party will likely be the first of them to overcome their fears.After being asked "6" times now the liberal you cant provide an obvious example of Republican party being bought. Embarrassing!
I'm among those classifying People's Republic of China's political system as a fascist. To the extent a government's fascist, it controls everything else that's subject to people's will; that includes the nation's economic system.China is capitalist, they were communist before they switched to capitalism in 1980. Do you have any idea what you mean when you say its precious??
I'm a proponent of the federal minimum wage rate being gradually increased until it reaches the designated purchasing power, and there after monitored and annually updated to retain that purchasing power.
The Information Age is an account of the role of information in contemporary society. Manuel Castells describes the shift from an industrial society to an informational society, which started in the 1970s. This Network Society is structured around networks instead of individual actors, and works through a constant flow of information through technology. Castells emphasises the interrelationship of social, economic and political features of society, and argues that the 'network' is the defining feature that marks our current epoch.
The Information Age (also known as the Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age) is a historic period in the 21st century characterized by the rapid shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information technology.[citation needed] The onset of the Information Age is associated[by whom?] with the Digital Revolution, just as the Industrial Revolution marked the onset of the Industrial Age. The definition of what "digital" means (or what "information" means) continues to change over time as new technologies, user devices, methods of interaction with other humans and devices enter the domain of research, development and market launch.
During the Information Age, digital industry shapes a knowledge-based society surrounded by a high-tech global economy that exerts influence on how the manufacturing and service sectors operate in an efficient and convenient way. In a commercialized society, the information industry can allow individuals to explore their personalized needs, therefore simplifying the procedure of making decisions for transactions and significantly lowering costs both for producers and for buyers. This[clarification needed] is accepted overwhelmingly by participants throughout the entire economic activities for efficacy purposes, and new economic incentives would[original research?] then be indigenously encouraged, such as the knowledge economy.
we're all about to get self-driving cars, socialism just killed 120 million, and you think capitalism is about to fail? LIberalism is 100% absurd.
And I am a proponent of changing fundamentally the way the economy works.
Which I feel is best expressed here (from Wikipedia) by Manuel Castells: The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture
Specifically as regards the Information Age per se, this work here is a suitable explanation as well: Information Age

Surrealistik, I'm a proponent for the tasks of selling, distributing, or purchasing electronic transmission time be “unbundled” from all other commercial tasks, and no reduction of taxable income should be granted for purchase of time or use of electronic transmissions.Getting money out of politics would be the necessary and essential first step towards making a more workable and equitable system that doesn't overwhelmingly favour those on top at the expense of everyone else.
Make commercials more expensive and elections more equitable.
The purposes of public announcements or advertising is to inform and/or influencetheir audiences. Government should not presume to determine what is or is not a political message. …
… The availability of electronic broadcasting is of greater advantage to wealthier political factions, and its lesser availability to less wealthy factions is to their greater disadvantages. …
Supreme Court's decision in favor of Citizens United effectively and severely reduced government's ability to decrease high bidders advantages and/or greater increase their costs within our political auctions, (i.e. our political elections). ...
… Even wealthier shareholders will no longer appreciate their enterprises' electronic advertisements with substantially political purposes. It will reduce wealth's ability to influence those who read less, and not likely increase their influence upon those who read more.

A progressive tax is a tax in which the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases. The term "progressive" refers to the way the tax rate progresses from low to high, with the result that a taxpayer's average tax rate is less than the person's marginal tax rate. The term can be applied to individual taxes or to a tax system as a whole; a year, multi-year, or lifetime. Progressive taxes are imposed in an attempt to reduce the tax incidence of people with a lower ability to pay, as such taxes shift the incidence increasingly to those with a higher ability-to-pay. The opposite of a progressive tax is a regressive tax, where the relative tax rate or burden decreases as an individual's ability to pay increases.

Respectfully,Supposn
Favoring "those on top" is simply a matter of taxation.
Our taxation system is not "progressive". It should be.
