Why most American's pay no attention to issues in other Nations.

My perspective of Reagan is that he didn't give a rat's ass about the working class. He wanted everyone not in his class to be enslaved to the system which he was a part of. He and Thatcher disdained working people. Thatcher called out the military to quell the protests that the coal miners who wanted a working wage were waging. Most of these coal miners were WWll vets. Some gratitude for their service. Maggie used "communism" as rallying cry to squelch any demands for a fair wage. Giving them a fair wage, would be communistic. I hate her, and I hate Reagan.

 

They think they can replace America's middle class with foreigners. Those foreigners will the most expensive replacements the ruling elite have ever known. They are already protesting for higher wages and they are not even US citizens. The ruling elite think they can pit us against each other. Fairness is a universal human feeling; and if the foreigners don't feel they are being treated fairly, they will make more demands than the working class Americans ever made.

Even the Chinese and other Asian workers are getting pissed at the horrid working conditions, and the paltry returns on their labor. World-wide enslavement will be the ruling elites downfall. The elites are already trying to find ways to get off the planet or hide in the belly of the earth to escape the masses who are getting fed up.

 

without Nikola Tesla no one would have gotten anywhere.

 

Liberals misplace wages for production. Liberals bemoan the fact that the rich have a much higher percentage of wealth. But that wealth is not necessarily through dollar signs. It's through production. Human Capital is unlimited, untapped. But when 1/4th of your country is doing all the tapping. Yeah, that's what happens. We need to make it easier, not harder for small businesses to compete.

No, Bain Capital needs no favors. But Pa's grocery store? Does need that help. Not only does he need that help, we need MORE pa grocery stores, not less. When the American economy grows, money grows. And the wage/income gap will dissipate as more people become entrepreneurs, as more people are self-sufficient.

 

Most people in most countries don't care what goes on in other countries. What's the point of this thread? And btw, americans seem to care a lot about what happens in China..

 

Too much labeling and generalizing overall. Is it that "conservatives" aren't a part of the problem? What is it?!

See ya'.

 

Do Liberals believe or not believe in those concepts? Bernie Sanders support inclines that they do believe those things. I do think conservatives are a part of the problem. Thankfully, they're not part of the "I hate money" problem. They're part of the "We're too afraid to invest" problem, a problem I find a lot easier to deal with. It'll be easier to convince conservatives that a public program can be conservative in nature, than to convince Liberals that it's not a bad thing for people to be self-dependent from government.

 

Race relations in the U.S. are TAME compared to Europe.

And my statement is specific to the American people basically being insulated by oceans and the most powerful military ever known to man protecting them.

There are 1000's of U.S. Territorial Islands all around the world.

As I have stated there are thousand's of U.S. territorial island's around the world.

And although the American public rallied when we were attacked in general they really do not much care what goes on outside the U.S.

Now I have been all over the world working with the U.S. Military.

If I were you I would hold your insults in check.

The level of tech. created by U.S. Military contractors is multiple decades or more in advancement of any other nation.

They just pick and chose what to make public.

I think he left because you continue to engage a strawman version of liberals rather than actual liberals, which prevents interesting conversation.

If you want to know what liberals actually believe, hang out of a few mainstream liberal news-sites and mainstream liberal forums for a while and just listen to what they say.

 

No, I'm quite painfully aware of their beliefs. But do tell: what is the contradiction , between "strawman liberals" and "real liberals"? Put your money where your mouth is .

 

Why would I bother doing that when you finish your question with a laughing emoticon? There's no clearer way to tell someone that you aren't taking what they have to say seriously.

 

Only when lesser nations do something that actually effects the US should they be taken seriously or paid attention to. There are simply too many (*)(*)(*)(*)holes and useless countries to spend our time on...

 

Can't believe I'm about to say this, but...damn I wish ^^ you were right.

 

I totally agree. Like You I seen the poor in other countries thanks to Uncle Sam. You are absolutely correct, most of our poor here would be considered wealthy in a lot of other places. Our biggest problem is we have those who want us to take care of those who do not want to take care of themselves. Who won't even try because they do not need to.

 

It might be because I was a former Liberal. Being a Liberal means believing in empty catch phrases, with as little philosophy as humanely possible that amounts to the same thing: Hating the affluent, taxing the affluent, the new minimum wage gig and where would we be if we didn't bring up "racism"?

So yeah, please show me the so-called difference that no one has been able to notice. Did I miss their "cries" of equality? Except for people they don't like of course.

 

I'm not a prophet, but I think I am right. On the news, I have seen immigrants out on the street protesting for higher wages, and better working conditions. These immigrants who are supposed to be hiding in the shadows, were going to be our low-wage replacements. Yeah right. They want $15/hour for work I used to, not so long ago, do for $4.50 an hour. I think the powers that be have already figured out that their big plans to keep wages depressed by hiring foreign workers is not going to work. This is why they are threatening to replace us all with robots. I wonder if the robots will have to pay taxes.

So, since we kind of agree on something, maybe you can postpone my head bashing for awhile.

 

Immigrants serve two purposes imo. They depress wages and they are what I call "buffers." Part of why they are here is because power players are terrified of their own people.

Another thing, I don't know how you got head bashing from anything I ever said or wrote. The "head bashing" is something somebody made up to prop up some persecution narratives...nothing to do with me .

 

Or Crips vs. Bloods.

 

Whatever.

LOL!!

I'm 54 years old and I've never met a racist. If you know a lot of them, you're hanging out with the wrong crowd.

 

And yet you have a fantasy version of what modern liberal political orthodoxy is.

But more importantly, I don't see you denying that you aren't taking me seriously, so my question stands. Why should I try to discuss ideas with you? Why should any liberal try to engage with you for any reason other than mocking a conservative?

 

Yes, we deal with it or we don't. I hate being conspiratorial, but I'm not naïve either. We have two diametrically opposed forces who both seem satisfied with the status quo. I'm speaking of the business community and Congress. We've experienced illegal immigration for several decades, with both parties holding various degrees of power. Nothing has changed, and I don't expect it will. If Trump wants to stop immigration, that's fine with me. I can certainly see benefits. Good luck getting past Congress.

 

No one else matters. Until they need us. Canada couldn't win a war against the Salvation Army!
