I like how conservatives are like, 'no trust me it's a long game, I know we've been in financial ruin it for the last 30 years but trust me it's the best system and it will work if you just keep letting it do exactly what it is already doing without bothering it at all'

rofl - yeah, because that system you see falling apart in Europe as we speak is going so well.

France, Greece, Spain, just look at Britain and how far they've fallen because they can barely afford to be a major military superpower anymore.

The small, homogenized nordic countries manage by having very strict immigration and small population.

Also LOL @ the "the public has a right to tell corporations how much they can pay their CEOS" - no they fucking don't you dumb hippy. Anymore than I have a right to tell you anything at all.

Jesus some of you children drink some serious koolaid. I know all these pseudo-socialist ideas sound pretty and wonderful like butterflies and maple syrup but there's a reason it fails in the end and it's because we're all human.

Funny how Germany has one of the strongest economies in the world and is a part of the EU. They are also ethnically nordic, but have the most inclusive immigration policies in the world and a booming population.

But you're just going to ignore both points because the truth is inconvenient to you.

They have a strong economy because of the euro, which has absolutely decimated wages and economies in the south of Europe. Have you heard of Greece? Their pensions are paying for the Germany economy.

The public has as much a right to tell corporations how to allocate their resources as corporations have to tell the government how to allocate theirs. Ideally, when corporations are being inimical, people wouldn't work for them or patronize them, but it doesn't really work like that, the invisible hand is a fallacy, etc

I said the exact opposite of that. Learn to fucking read and understand innuendo.

How far have France and Britain fallen exactly? They still perform better than the US does, again, in nearly every metric for general well-being except aggregate wealth (which in the US is concentrated at the top).

Japan, Australia, Canada, and Germany don't have small populations. How do you account for their success?

What do we have? A bloated military that we use to brutalize brown people, and protect the world from a country that can just barely afford to wage a war against Ukraine and has a GDP smaller than California?

Their pensions are paying for the German economy? What a curious statement. You solely blame the Euro for the languid southern European economies? It's as simple as that? Not deep-seated cultural issues and an inability to adapt to a changing economic climate? The German economy is successful because of good institutions, good leadership, a favorable culture, a healthy political system, productive workforce, and many many other variables.

Ur suuuper dumb

up until the advent of Reaganomics, growth in wages almost exactly mirrored the growth in corporate earnings.
If that trend had continued over the last thirty years, the average houry wage would now be around $75 an hour. But in fact, the average hourly wage has seen almost no growth at all in that time.

The real kool aid is being drunk by the people who think that concentrating more and more wealth into the pockets of fewer and fewer people is somehow magically going to raise the standard of living for the general populace.
