    Ok, capitalism > charity. Understood and agreed. Carry on.

    Bernie Madoff, the ying yang Bernie is in jail for life. Let's not get this thing twisted. Don't get it twisted. As I said, mildly facetious. Everyone despises money unless it's theirs. And no, joe, that article wasn't my "source".

    I still find it hard to believe the Dems were corrupt because if they were they should have, you know, won. But then I think of organizations like the Jets and the Browns and it all makes sense.

    Hilary Clinton is the Democrats version of Vernon ghloston. It was both the obvious pick and yet a tremendous bust.

    She was the one candidate that would have lost to Mussilini lite. I bet Biden is kicking himself in the ass right about now... Bernie Bros have every right to be pissed about this but there could be a silver lining. This exposes the incest in the DP and should force them to clean house FINALLY!

    Actually, you didn't. The free market will do more to improve the distribution of material wealth around than charity...

    Well, I'll put my order in for a new Tesla sedan after I get my new cabin cruiser delivered.

    And some poor schlep somewhere in some misbegotten shithole will have to punch a card somewhere in order to make that happen. Which will require the exchange of some economic benefit to said schlep to make sure it gets done. Which is orders of magnitude better for him than hoping for the benificence of others.

    Bernie got a nice lake house out of it, he's happy.

    He's such a blowhard, I can't believe peeps still buy the shit he's selling.

    No doubt.

    Not all jobs are permanent millstones around the necks of their employees. Unless they want to be second grade teachers forever.

    Economies based on many and divers employment opportunities are a lot better for the poor underpaid slob you're crying about than anything else available.

    Im not saying new jobs are a bad thing. I just dont think that letting employers do whatever is gonna necessarily stimulate a better economy and life for Americans. Clearly when given the opportunity to do so in the past companies have sputtered.

    At the same time i also dont think someone working at McDonald's not in a management position should be making 15 bucks an hour. I just don't think 7 is enough to live on unless youre a kid.

    There is some personal responsibility in there too. If you have a family, you should already know you cant live on a job like that. What went wrong with America is the college is for everyone campaign. We need to invest in trade schools again. The world needs plumbers and electricians, cuz im not great at that stuff.
