The Economy

[dukeberto]

Nobody's are.

This exact statement is what pisses me, and a lot of other people, off. This administration has made it ok to say that there is no clear right or wrong, except of course when it comes to whatever Trump has to say at that particular time and place.

By propagating "fake news," "alternative facts," and "well that's your opinion that you are reporting, I never said that"-isms, they have tricked their base into thinking that everything is fluid. There ARE, in fact, certain truths that are not disputable, but people like you and Trump's base will argue them to no end because "not all thoughts and opinions are correct." FACTS still exist, doesn't matter if you choose to ignore them.

Trickle-down economics does not work, it has never worked and likely never will. People have given you FACTS about it, but you still dismiss them. If I tell you that the sky is blue, and you come back and tell me that you see it green, does that mean that I'm incorrect and you are right? Or neither of us are right? No.

This has nothing to do with Trump. Trump is a bully who has hurt my cause more than he has helped it. I know several top economists who would disagree with you about trickle-down. I politely asked Rome how "trickle-up" would work, but did not receive a response, which is typical of the elitists who think they know everything and look down upon the heartland. I am not mad about it- to be clear. As far as your last point- there are some things we don't know in the universe. Unless the theory of everything has been solved unbeknownst to me. There is serious academic debate among top economists about certain things, as well.

Axe you very conveniently ignore certain posts and choose to respond to others. I’m very curious to your thoughts on my last two posts.

This is a garbage reply. Anyway, you know the alternatives to trickle down are not trickle up, you're just a troll.

I would understand people getting mad at me if I were demeaning others, name calling, and acting like an ass, but I'm not

You are a piece of shit.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

That motherfucker Rome is always looking down on poors.

You are a piece of shit.

Rome has insulted me before (when I didn't instigate) and I said nothing, yet I'm the piece of shit?


I'll make one statement, DIRECTED SOLELY AT AIW, and I am gone:

I believe America is the greatest country to ever grace the Earth. Perfect? No, but nobody has ever been a stronger force for good. I believe in guys like Adam Smith, the Austrians, Alexis de Tocqeuville, Jefferson, Hamilton, Voltaire, Thomas Paine, General George, Colbert, Turgot, Hayek, Schumpeter, Bastiat, and Quesnay. Those are my Gods,and New York City is my Mecca. I believe in the equality of opportunity, not the equality of outcomes. I believe in a justice system that treats everyone equally under the law. I believe in the freedom of speech, the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition. I value having 9 of the top 10 private equity firms based in America. I value the porn industry. I value the NASDAQ and the NYSE being bigger than other stock exchanges. I value our skyscrapers, our monuments, our palatial homes, and our tomahawk missiles. I value our 2nd amendment. I value the fact we have more Jews than anyone outside of Israel. I value the fact we have the largest Chinatowns. I value Las Vegas. Times Square. Malibu. Miami Beach. The Pentagon. The Space Needle. The Gateway Arch. Sears Tower. Every inch of Manhattan. Disneyworld. I enjoy Coke AND Pepsi. McDonald's. Apple products. Nike shoes. I am appreciative and respectful of our great nation. We simply do not value the same things- and that's okay, but I do not want to be around you anymore, so I am leaving. The beauty of America is we have the freedom to go where we are wanted and valued. Have a nice day, and I wish you the absolute best in the future as you continue making a fool of yourself predicting the Russia investigation to be the next Watergate. Lol.

Thanks to Zack for letting me stick around as long as he did. Great guy, IMHO.

Peace!

What was that site we used to make the animated avatars act out "Trouble at work" back in the day? That post needs to become that.

Uh oh, he accidentally leaked the very secret tax-free investment fund available only to very rich people.

 

[rome8180]

If you're not rich in this economy, you're doing something wrong.

I really shouldn't be squandering all those stocks by boss is giving me. Just using them to smoke joints like the lazy millennial I am.
