    Lol, I can always count on trumpers to play the "I know you are but what am I" defense.

    I think I know the problem. If trump says 1+1=4, then one dumb technique is to immediately accuse everyone else of claiming that they think 1+1=4 ("crooked hillary" for example). In other words, take his worst qualities, then claims those are qualities of his detractors without any evidence or reasoning. His followers are mostly dumb, or at least desperate to believe him, so, they are convinced by this and think it is a good and valid technique. They then try it. The problem is that I'm smart. I wont simply say 'ohhh, I guess I was wrong I need no evidence or reason to believe you whatsoever, I will just accept it at face value like tump's mindless zombies. Braiiiiiiiiinss.... we have no braiiiiiiiiins....'

    You: I'm such a victim, I'm always persecuted by the corrupt cops. (*then robs a liquor store in the middle of the day on camera in front of cops*)

    Cops: (*tackle you and arrest you*)

    You: SEE!!! I'm a victim I'm persecuted by the cops!!

    Simple question. Should be very easy to answer.

    If you provide me shelter, food, and healthcare, why would I be motivated to get educated and work?

    Let's see if you can answer this simple question.

    What is your IQ. Unless more than 156, you are not smarter than I am. Bear in mind I once was also one of your kind. a loyal. Democrat.

    For example, I did not toss out the strawman the way you just did.

    Battle 3 is doing very well.

    Lol, your IQ without any doubt whatsoever is not 156, I am unequivocally calling you a liar . I most certainly am smarter than you, and no he isn't. He couldn't even muster an attempt. Also, "bear in mind," I was once a republican. Until I realized I couldn't be a patriot and a republican at the same time.

    Well officials of the state call you a liar. My IQ clearly tops yours. You refuse to say what yours is.

    You abandoned the party of freedom to the party that cleverly owns the title, "we made your laws for you America since 1933 and you do not even realize it."

    So the lawmakers are whom rule your life.

    Lol, if that's true, you should really vote them out, they are lying to so thoroughly that they couldn't be reliably counted on to tell you what country teh state they represent is in.

    I've never measured my IQ, but just to give you a little context, Einstein's IQ was around 160, so, (lololol) you believe your intelligence is essentially the same as his. He overturned mankind's understanding of the universe, you just shared a nonsensical youtube video that makes no point at all, and you probably think it did. I know what point you think it made, and I also know why it didn't.

    So, just as a little exam, can you begin to explain special relativity?

    Those are possibilities, but most people would prefer to just sponge off of your generosity until you bum rush them off of your couch and out the front door with orders to never darken your doorway again.

    You did not measure my IQ but the State of CA and the Federal Government did.
    Ein's IQ was at least that high and on many things he was difficult to understand.

    What about those teachers of his that were afraid he was not able to do well in school?

    I have my book by Einstein and have read his theories.

    Special relativity (or the special theory of relativity) is a theory in physics that was developed and explained by Albert Einstein in 1905. It applies to all physical phenomena, so long as gravitation is not significant.

    That statement is begging for a comparison between Trump Republicans and true Republicans. If you have been talking to Trump Republicans you have been talking to the wrong people. They are not conservatives. The very opposite is true.

    Trump Republicans gave up their right to be Republicans.

    Trump has started trade wars with his harsh protectionist tariffs. Protectionist tariffs are a liberal tactic.

    Democrats, leftist labor unions and liberal economists must have been cheering President Trump’s decision to slap hefty trade tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. But America’s big business leaders, right wing groups, and even some of Mr. Trump’s top Cabinet officials and White House advisers opposed the move, saying it would hurt our economy and endanger U.S. national security. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/8/theres-nothing-conservative-about-trade-protection/

    The Times is a conservative source.

    Trump Republicans are spending money like drunken liberals.

    To say we're all being played by House and Senate Republicans and the Trump administration when it comes to the deficit is a polite way of saying that the GOP is operating the federal equivalent of a huge budget bunco game. The Congressional Budget Office released a report that for the first time officially projected the federal deficit rising to almost $1 trillion in 2019 and then staying at or well above that previously unfathomable level every year through 2028. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stanco...been-playing-us-all-for-suckers/#25b655a84694

    When others pull your wagon, you lose interest in pulling that same wagon. When the meal you get is free and easy, you have lost the desire to earn that meal.

    Democrats have no clue why.

    Funny about you and the alleged trade wars.

    Two Chinese businessmen I spoke to this very day on this so called war against China informed me that Trump is doing the exact right thing. Even Japan is cutting it's economic spending directed to help China.

    As to Tariffs being of either party, this nation was founded on tariffs.

    Explanation. Democrats love to blame the 2009 budget on Bush. However when was the 2009 Budget signed into law and what president signed the law. Bush had little time remaining when he got a strange request from Obama. "Say George, since the budget for 2009 is not a law, (which most democrats blank out of their minds, that to be a budget, it must be signed by the president, ), Give it to me George and let me finish it off. So Bush handed it to Obama and Obama signed that budget. Very out of the ordinary since the 09 budget was supposed to be in law months ahead of that. But it is record that Obama has that huge deficit that tops all other presidents that have lived.

    That makes you a liberal, Robert. The GOP is the free trade party, but they are lackeys for Trump, which also explains the exploding national debt under Trump Republican rule.

    Maybe in your world, but in mine, most people are motivated by something than other than minimum existence. this meme that everyone wants to sponge is bullshit.

    Most people desire more out of their lives than a minimum standard of food, shelter, healthcare and education . Some even want to wear nice clothes and drink booze and smoke cigarettes and go on vacations and eat great meals and drive a car and live in a decent neighborhood with decent schools for their kids, and other stuff like that.

    OTOH, those whose accident of birth placed them in the lowest quintile would be provided with a minimum standard of nutrition and housing and healthcare and education throughout their childhood, thus providing them with far greater opportunities to achieve upward economic mobility.

    Then they don't need all of this free stuff. You've settled the problem of minimum wage all by yourself.

    And with that, my posts to this long, silly thread can conclude. Confirmation bias? Stroked.

    You're merely following a convenient narrative, using that to paint a false sense of righteousness. From consensus politics to 'big business' influence costs on politicians, it is merely party political game playing. To use that to ignore the scientific evidence into right wing autjoritarianism is ironically predicted by the same evidence.

    Lol.

    Nativity on your part.

    Humans are inherently lazy. That's why we are innovating to the point that we work less and less. Nearly half the country is dependent on government support. Why aren't they striving to get out of that position with all the qualities you describe.

    If you truly believe you can provide the people housing, food, and healthcare as a right, and still maintain our level of education, innovation, and work output and efficiency, you are completely naive.

    Humans are not inherently lazy. That sure as hell ain't the motivation for innovation. But be all means proffer such facile rationalizations for your perspective. Perhaps you can provide some substance to support your opinion?


    As for upward mobility - improving ones socioeconomic position:
