Reagan wasn't anti- government, just limited government as were the founding 
fathers. The more authority you give government, the less freedom you have as 
an individual. 
The idea that the uber wealthy don't work is the real fantasy. Some people work 
by the sweat of their brow, others with their intelligence and creativity. 
There is only so much a human body can do but the mind is limitless. The 
wealthy are starving the country? Please, they do more with their wealth to 
make your and my life better. They invent and manufacture things that make our 
lives easier all the time. They pay more in taxes yearly than you and I pay in 
a life time!
As for the capitalist system, it has generated more wealth and brought more 
people out of poverty than any other economic system in history.
Funny how Russia and China abandoned their centralized planned economies for 
capitalism and have become prosperous beyond belief and in such a short time.

I chose the example because it was shown in a Frontline report years ago 
as the problem with the Chavez program.


Chavez's administration should have worked out the problem of turning 
over companies to the workers.  Someone still has to manage.  And I 
wouldn't be surprised at all if Chavez knew that. It just didn't get 
implemented.  Unfortunately a lot of supporters of socialistic 
governments are people with just theoretical not practical experience.  
They have a great idea but don't implement it well and it all falls 
down.  Someday it will be done right.


There is a similar problem in training college students for computer 
science.  Most of the professors have not worked in the field so they 
are only teaching theory.  The students are at a loss when they take a 
job and are being short changed if not mentored.  Some companies like 
Google don't seem to like mentoring.  They want some kind of "magic" to 
happen and have the money to waste on a "sandbox."  But if the employee 
doesn't produce they are gone after a year.

You are aware that the current top bracket on income is about 39%.

The 17% you refer to is, I believe, on trading stocks or dividends paid by 
stock holdings.

This is the mistake that Hugo Chavez made.  He turned over businesses to 
the workers but didn't train any of them to be a manager.  You have to 
find the individual who will naturally be good at it and train them.  I 
would also suggest a quick workshop for everyone in the business to find 
replacements and to keep check on the manager.


What we are moving towards is a society of oligarchs running things and 
everyone else is their servant.  That's very oppressive and should not 
be tolerated in any way whatsoever.

    No one will actually hand anyone else any money when the rich pay their 
fair share of taxes. Free higher ed and health care would work though. There 
really isn't anything wrong with treating people humanely. If the wealthy 
insist on an unregulated market, then they can damned well provide a safety net 
for the millions of ordinary citizens who regularly fall through the ever more 
common cracks in the economy, by paying their fair share of taxes. Nothing 
radical about it.

No one will actually hand anyone else any money when the rich pay their fair 
share of taxes. Free higher ed and health care would work though. There really 
isn't anything wrong with treating people humanely. If the wealthy insist on an 
unregulated market, then they can damned well provide a safety net for the 
millions of ordinary citizens who regularly fall through the ever more common 
cracks in the economy, by paying their fair share of taxes. Nothing radical 
about it.

   Its deeper than that. All of those voting have watched their parents work 
hard without getting ahead, and profits skimmed by the wealthy who pay less 
taxes. In addition, the 1.2 trillion in student debt hampers many graduates the 
chance for a fresh start, and they are the group supposedly driving the 
economy. Its a rigged system, now more than ever, and the incremental change 
offered by all of the candidates except Sanders, amounts to treating the 
symptoms but not curing the underlying cancer of growing economic inequality.
 

 Your quote by Benjamin Franklin is spot on, in light of all the crony 
capitalism going on, off shoring profits to avoid taxes, while pointing the 
finger at someone collecting food-stamps, or throwing people out of jobs that 
go overseas, and then complaining about them collecting unemployment for too 
many weeks. That kind of greed is a mental illness and must be stopped for the 
good of us all.

   You know, he makes some excellent points.  It is true that Hillary is not a 
great campaigner and she gets defensive, which doesn't come across well all the 
time.  Politically, neither her logo or her slogan say it's about the people.  
They say it's about her.  It is true that Trump will do everything he can to 
lynch her and he won't let up.  If she defends, she loses.  He will continue to 
play on people's fear and she will be facing plenty of sexism, the kind that 
isn't talked about, but that surely exists in the minds of both men and women.  
The undermining has already started and has been quite effective.  I will agree 
that the more interesting match that would force us to choose ideologically 
would be a Sanders/Trump choice.  SuperTuesday is around the corner.

Mike, it's amazing the confidence you exhibit in what you know about the FBI

Its deeper than that. All of those voting have watched their parents work hard 
without getting ahead, and profits skimmed by the wealthy who pay less taxes. 
In addition, the 1.2 trillion in student debt hampers many graduates the chance 
for a fresh start, and they are the group supposedly driving the economy. Its a 
rigged system, now more than ever, and the incremental change offered by all of 
the candidates except Sanders, amounts to treating the symptoms but not curing 
the underlying cancer of growing economic inequality. 

 Your quote by Benjamin Franklin is spot on, in light of all the crony 
capitalism going on, off shoring profits to avoid taxes, while pointing the 
finger at someone collecting food-stamps, or throwing people out of jobs that 
go overseas, and then complaining about them collecting unemployment for too 
many weeks. That kind of greed is a mental illness and must be stopped for the 
good of us all.

 Yeah, Bernie definitely offers more *free* stuff than Hillary. Bernsie wants

 When the people discover that they can vote themselves money, that will herald 
the end of the republic.

   You know, he makes some excellent points.  It is true that Hillary is not a 
great campaigner and she gets defensive, which doesn't come across well all the 
time.  Politically, neither her logo or her slogan say it's about the people.  
They say it's about her.  It is true that Trump will do everything he can to 
lynch her and he won't let up.  If she defends, she loses.  He will continue to 
play on people's fear and she will be facing plenty of sexism, the kind that 
isn't talked about, but that surely exists in the minds of both men and women.  
The undermining has already started and has been quite effective.  I will agree 
that the more interesting match that would force us to choose ideologically 
would be a Sanders/Trump choice.  SuperTuesday is around the corner.

I thought the Koch brothers *started* the Tea Party by who they funded!  They 
are very right wing and all about consolidating money, power and control to 
forward the agenda they want.  

  Trump is simply pandering to his own narcissistic self; he's in it for the 
win, for winning's sake.  The ultimate win, for him.  He's in it for the 
adulation,  He's  jacking off on it (pardon my language).

doubt he has really changed. He is far more liberal than conservative but he 
knows how to *sell* himself.
What I think makes this guy *dangerous* is how he will govern. He says he has 
mastered the *art of the deal* and that is how he will handle congress. "Give 
me what I want as a Republican or I'll give the Democrats what they want and 
make Republicans sorry that they didn't work with me". Democrats will be 
chomping at the bit to stick it to Republicans. This will work both ways, just 
depends on who has the majority in congress. He cares more about *winning* than 
conservative or liberal principals.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: very compelling article

Trump isn't radical. Just sounds that way because he comes off as an American 
version of Benito Mussolini. He's going to *make the trains run on time* kind 
of guy. He has supported a lot of liberal causes in the past and I doubt he has 
really changed. He is far more liberal than conservative but he knows how to 
*sell* himself.
What I think makes this guy *dangerous* is how he will govern. He says he has 
mastered the *art of the deal* and that is how he will handle congress. "Give 
me what I want as a Republican or I'll give the Democrats what they want and 
make Republicans sorry that they didn't work with me". Democrats will be 
chomping at the bit to stick it to Republicans. This will work both ways, just 
depends on who has the majority in congress. He cares more about *winning* than 
conservative or liberal principals.

the Republicans in Congress—who simply were not able to stand up and

   You know, he makes some excellent points.  It is true that Hillary is not a 
great campaigner and she gets defensive, which doesn't come across well all the 
time.  Politically, neither her logo or her slogan say it's about the people.  
They say it's about her.  It is true that Trump will do everything he can to 
lynch her and he won't let up.  If she defends, she loses.  He will continue to 
play on people's fear and she will be facing plenty of sexism, the kind that 
isn't talked about, but that surely exists in the minds of both men and women.  
The undermining has already started and has been quite effective.  I will agree 
that the more interesting match that would force us to choose ideologically 
would be a Sanders/Trump choice.  SuperTuesday is around the corner.

 But, if she were to support Bernie...the Democrats would have a real chance to

 This will never happen. Hillary will be our next President. Bernie scares too 
many who are irrationally afraid of "socialists" and there are not enough crazy 
Republicans to secure Trump as the next White House resident - I can see it 
now; everything done in Rococo style with plenty of dripping gold furniture and 
fixtures.

I know. I had that thought as well. I don't think he has considered any of 
this. In fact, his bid for the White House appears as if it started out as some 
sort of lark that has gotten out of hand - even he didn't think it would get 
this far. But here we are; Trump will get the Republican nomination (my 
prediction, unless there are videos of him molesting children or gutting 
puppies) but he won't get elected. I am confident of this. However, if there 
was a way to measure the collective anxiety of all of the Trump haters, I think 
they would find that there is real anxiety, real angst within the population 
right now. I mean, it is a real thing, I'm feeling it and although I have 
chosen Canada as my home it will effect us all if he were to actually become 
President (which he won't). Am I in denial? Maybe.

puppies) but he won't get elected. I am confident of this. However, if there 
was a way to measure the collective anxiety of all of the Trump haters, I think 
they would find that there is real anxiety, real angst within the population 
right now. I mean, it is a real thing, I'm feeling it and although I have 
chosen Canada as my home it will effect us all if he were to actually become 
President (which he won't). Am I in denial? Maybe.
 

 Bernie's education plan is right on the money, imho.  Have you looked at the 
particulars?  I like it.  However, he's bound and determined to get it and 
everything else that I'm for from a source that has no on-switch at the current 
time and won't in the near future.

tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed 
the economy seven years ago. "

Well if Trump has any problems with congress, he can just call them racists and 
any other  problems he has , he can just blame his predecessor. Sound familiar?
