    Republicans and democrats are both wrong on so many levels.

    At least with republicans they understand the value of hard work and capitalism. It's a shame that they get their morals from religion though.

    Watching the TV humor show .." Last Man Standing" A segment had the beautiful daughter walking off to study and of course as a man, I was paying attention not only to her beauty, but her super hot rump.

    Who do we blame for the awesome beauty of the woman? Her for having it or for her parents for enabling it?

    I am going to tell you my point.

    Exports??? Blame the exporter to other nations or the importer for selling to America or the public who buys?

    Cut welfare. No welfare from the federal treasury.

    Work to age 65, starve, or go to the prison house.

    I blame the big bankers and our politicians for gutting america of our consumer good manufacturing. I think that is where the blame goes, given they gave us slave labor globalism to max out profits of the top boys. And of course it is about the money, for these elites. Always has been, but what changed are the politicians. In my younger days, no president would have done this to america and the american people. But back then, unlike now, the people were represented in DC. Princeton proved this is not the case anymore, and used congressional record to prove it. ou can argue with the facts revealed in that record, but not me. ha ha

    Our founders got it right. Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama got it wrong. Along with their congresses. These bastards sold out this nation and her people. Perot tried to warn us. I listened, but you ignored him. This was not some kind of natural law driving the change but a damned choice made in DC. In the interest of a few. Fact Jack. ha ha

    There has been a gap since I last promoted Ross Perot, sure I admit to that gap. But I have been hated for promoting the man. I have shown a lot of youtube proof he has the right ideas.

    I enjoy promoting success for all humans. YES, even though Democrats wage a war against human success, save for their own politicians, my joy comes when others prosper.

    Now let's try to follow Heather Schuck around a bit.

    WOW, you say that after reading my OP and though you did not reply to my Army post speaking of a train trip that had Ali as a passenger, yet reading Democrats claim I was alleging he was in the Army at the time I was, a claim I did not make, proves the problem is with Democrats. Not one democrat understood my clear and simple english on the Ali matter. And I expect none will understand this woman or me either.

    Democrats live in the victim mentality world. We republicans do not think in those terms. You folks have entire castes you believe or either victims or their masters.

    Democrats present those invaders as being our victims.

    We have specific laws. Suddenly we learn during Obama he and they want laws obeyed. Trump shows up so their own laws suddenly no longer matter to them.

    I can deal with this easier than stuff said by Democrats. I wish I knew what drugs they take since they lack understanding of so many posts.

    Books are written on trade. Books are also written on wealth. Books full of laws on both are available to study.

    Let's use the USA vs China thing.

    Compared to the USA, China as a nation still is in poverty. There Capitalism also tends to shift the poor but self sufficient to cities. City living is a better promoter of crime than living on a rice farm is.

    Active men wanting to commit fraud thrive in the city but not on farms.

    The poor are alleged to have less access to wealth unless they steal it.

    China also has a huge number of females being executed. And prior to their executions, they endure a lot of public screaming at them. They are forced to wear signs around their necks and have the public milling about watching them be prosecuted and then killed. A shot to the head from a pistol handles the problem. Youtube the women executions in China to be educated.

    So the environment there is tragically lousy and they do not find a need to elevate women to sainthood.

    So trade with China is not on the same footing as we have in the USA. Our workers are paid handsome sums in contrast to China. Naturally we can profit from their cheap labor so we do just that. Americans being paid more do not fit well with Chinese since their incomes are far lower. But some are better paid there so they will buy our Buicks. But they are also made in China to hold down costs. We do not see the Chinese Buick on our American highways

    Major point for me. Trade is never equal with other nations. Some profit more and some hardly profit. But it is not the fault of Capitalism.

    Actually Trump is working his rump off being protective of our local workers.

    Relion can't be the base of American laws. Why is that? Commencing with about 1933, Democrats almost entirely took over making American laws. And they are not much of a fan of religion.

    So you're blaming the group who has the least interest in destroying this economy.

    I do not understand your thinking at all on this particular matter.

    I guess I missed it. Can you briefly explain what obstacles she had to overcome?

    Most financial successes are liberals and Democrats. Intelligent people are generally left-leaning.

    You do realize that money is made, more profits, by offshoring to a buck an hour labor? Who at the top is making these profits? Most of those profits? It ain't you or me. So, you are talking nonsense here. You apparently don't have a sophisticated enough of an understanding and I mean no offense by that remark. And yet it isn't that complicated, IMO.

    Perot was right and what he said on this issue has come to pass. It is a rush to the bottom for the american worker, and the destruction of our middle class. Combine that with this deal with AI and robotics, and you nor I will not recognize this nation in 25 years, although I will not be here to see it. That would make me over a hundred, and I will not see that kind of number.

    Because following a religion means accepting something as truth without evidence. To live properly, one must use reason, not faith.

    Intelligent people are found across all political spectrums.

    And just because someone is intelligent doesn't mean their political opinions are right.

    Trump's tariffs are terrible for the economy and he is not interested in the American people.

    I guess you missed it because you wanted to miss it. She was outlining her obstacles by minute 2. Why would you listen to me when you did not listen to her? Seriously, you did not do your homework.

    I have no idea what this so called liberal means vis a vis finance and being intelligent. I spent 42 years as a Democrat and though my IQ is very high, nothing about that has a thing to do with politics. Hitler was left leaning yet that did not help him conquer the world.

    Chinese people that converse with me and are in business do not agree that the tariffs are terrible. I asked TJ just in the past week how the tariffs hit his business and he says they have not. He is from mainland China and sells a quality product that is electronics in nature. Amazon.com offers his products. He told me he did not vote for Trump but believes Trump is doing the right thing on Tariffs.

    Look, Democrats constantly bombard us that severe taxes on our domestic wealthy people is wonderful but hate the idea tax is levied on China. I do not get that kind of thinking at all.

    TJ only imports from China and his prices to the public is not rising.

    It amazes me such arguments are left unchallenged when research shows how wrong that statement is.

    When you persist in that line of speaking to me and taunting me and indeed hurling insults, we are done. Change that tactic. I have long been in business, long analyzed it and long spoke on this very topic. I am 80 and you could be. But why make personal attacks?

    Where's your research?

    In my understanding and research, government interference always hurts the economy.

    Frankly when have you studied law and making of laws? Depends entirely on the religion followed, which part of it you think is followed and when and where you find religion is in laws. If you say Muslims do that, certainly they do. Their religion is their law.

    If you think the 10 commandments are law, read the laws on murder for instance and explain why those laws are very long, very complex yet the Jews law on murder is rather brief and not what our laws say at all, other than perhaps taken as a very short summary.

    Take civil laws on easements. I don't find that in the 10 commandments to the Jews.
