RE: How Can the Libertarian Party Come Together and Succeed?
If Trump decided to ditch the Republican party, and run independent, or Libertarian, he would give the movement a larger footprint on the political map. Right now, the…

Denmark is a nation of less than 6 million people. The United States is 53 times bigger. Secondly, Bernie has made his platform one that attacks "millionaires and…

Your basic premise is that the recipient class is not complaining. That seems to be the issue thinking people have - it's the takers that are fine with socialism. When you…

Ahh, you touched on the magic element in our (former) healthcare system - that is isn't socialized and run by the government. That is the very thing that drives innovation.…

RE: Hey Steemit Economists: Trump Tax Plan is More Failed Trickle Down Economics
See my post above. The reason the cuts are temporary is because Democrats are politicizing the process. If only a few Democrats voted with the Republicans, the cuts would have…

RE: Hey Steemit Economists: Trump Tax Plan is More Failed Trickle Down Economics
The notion that people will be paying more when the tax cuts sunset, is completely false. When (if) the Trump tax cuts expire, rates will return to where they are now. That is…

RE: Hey Steemit Economists: Trump Tax Plan is More Failed Trickle Down Economics
Please show the economic theory that pushes "trickle down" economics. "Trickle down" is a made up term that the Left uses to scare people when engaging in tax debates. What…

And, I wasn't restating what you said, I was mocking it. We do have a debt based economy, and you could call its expansion "growth", but in reality, the expansion of debt is not growth.

RE: Hey Steemit Economists: Trump Tax Plan is More Failed Trickle Down Economics
Being in the 18th century had nothing to do with the system they set up. It was set up that way so that wealth would not be under the central control of the State, and so the…

RE: Left Leaning Liberals and Proponents of Socialism will often offer things like Free Education for All... Medicare/aid for all, etc.
I re-read my post. Where is the part where I assumed health care costs more in other countries? However, that said, your post raises 2 questions: 1. would you be willing to…

A question to the socialists among us. Why is it that the rise of a middle class, really only took root after the founding of America, and the advent of capitalism? Prior to…
