    So We have to eliminate the return on investing capital since that doesn't actually involve working? Or does the money working count?

    Well, I stand corrected then. But they are certainly on the way out, and that is due to improved technology. The whole coal mining industry is on the way out, due to improved technology.

    And it is capitalism which has driven technological change, not leftist politics.

    All work counts, investing capital provides liquidity to market allowing others to benefit. It takes skill, effort , experience and education to be able to invest capital. Why is it any less work then hammering a nail into a wall?

    Without leftists, there would be nobody in the country with an ideology that requires them to agitate society in order to gain political advantage. There would be a lot more stability, which is the enemy of progressivism.

    What I find funny about the left is that you wouldn't be able to tell if this post was made by a 20 year old college student or a 68 year old retiree. The combination of left-wing politics and Keith Olbermann/Jon Stewart Liebowitz type media consumption tends to stunt maturity, at any age. Really shows the level on which the left is operating on.

    Nonsense. Leftist didn't stop that prosperity did by making it unnecessary for ten year olds to work for the family to survive.

    Imagine there's no leftist
    It's easy if you try
    No paved roads below us
    Above us only tyranny
    Imagine all the people
    Being bled by the few... ooh-ooh

    Imagine there's no US army
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And more religious freaks too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life working...

    You may say I'm an idiot
    But I'm not the only one
    There's also cousin-brother Bub over there
    And the world should be like us

    Imagine no diversity
    I wonder if you can
    A world for the one-percenter
    A brotherhood of thieves
    Imagine all the people
    Living dull, secure lives of devotion... Oooh-ooh

    You may say I'm an idiot
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world ... well (*)(*)(*)(*) the world!

    Without progressivism there would be no fire, no bows and arrows, no animal skins, no crop farming, no cheese, no bread, etc, etc, etc.

    Sorry, but can you explain how redistributing power and wealth via Marxism is responsible for these things?

    So, what you're saying is that absolutely no one wants to get rid of illegal immigrants?

    Plus, as far as I'm concerned, the Houston Texans don't seem like an entity that has a plan on hiring illegals anytime soon.

    Exactly.

    Well, until I see otherwise, I'm gonna go with a candidate that at least has a plan to fix the problem rather than no one at all.

    There is no one running that has that current plan. Your candidate can promise he will give everyone a unicorn but that will not happen either if both parties don't want it.
