Yeah, that problem with good looks is a bummer. Luckily some people have found a great solution for this. These women look so same to me. https://lh3....
Simply because the idea of leaders coming from a school and then assuming leadership roles in a Democracy or a Republic goes totally against the idea ...
And all those Presidents understood that it was a good carrot to use with Israel to get them to seriously negotiate with the Palestinians. They unders...
Your comments, apart from saying "Increasing wages can only get so far when 1% of the US population own over 40% of the wealth, while the bottom 80% o...
Trump serves to those that give him campaign donations! It was the idea of the same guy that purposed to Trump that moving the Embassy to Jerusalem wo...
Yes. And do notice many of Trump's policies ARE THE SAME as with (ghasp!) Obama! For example, Obama didn't like European members of NATO spending so l...
I agree. On occasions! Putin has also done great things. No, really, I'm serious. The fall of the average life expectancy of Russian males has been st...
OH NO!!! :scream: Trump's beautiful wall! It fell down! Wind is part of the Democratic conspiracy. Damn Californian wind. https://www.gannett-cdn.com/...
Why should it be massive? Or what do you define massive? Would you say in Switzerland the state intervention is massive? Some would say so. I wouldn't...
No, literally. If you have wealth, cash, moolah, you can buy products and services. The rich can do that more than poor. What you can earn with your l...
That's really a big topic to discuss and worth another thread. I don't buy the anarcho-capitalist fantasies they give, but basically many times what i...
An embarrassing argument, Maw. It is a simple example that people would understand the problem of wealth taxation compared to income taxation and to n...
Pfhorrest, I understand you aren't eager to discuss this or think this is the wrong thread, but I would make some comments. The reason is that rents a...
You meant White House. I agree, it's an awkward attempt to deny the obvious what Trump has done, but who cares. The Republicans will not do anything w...
Yeah, I imagine they would come out and say: "Yeah sure, the sitting US President Trump, who will likely be President at least for one year if not lon...
I was hoping you would comment, so thanks for the information. The Dutch model seems far more reasonable than the Finnish version (or a Bernie version...
You're not making much sense here, but many people do get it wrong. First of all, there's a lot of people that are tenants out of necessity than choic...
And they took a blood example from Bill Clinton. Clinton was extremely angry about this "encroachment of his personal privacy" that Kenn Star's team d...
So if you own a van Gogh painting worth 100 million USD, you'll have to pay annually half a million dollars to the US government just for fun of ownin...
Does it really? Yet that firms don't pay taxes or can avoid taxes, has nothing to do with a wealth tax. The trend has been especially in the IT compan...
I've stated multiple reason just why a wealth tax is stupid populism. The fact that the the tax has numerous structural problems and that many countri...
We do also have property tax, naturally. But that tax isn't as high as the wealth tax at all. It's more like a fee. You see, a tax even as low as 1% c...
That's how any new tax is introduced. It's first small and doesn't apply to the commoner. And especially with the wealth tax every time it is marketed...
Seems that libertarian socialists understand the point. Of course these are sales / income / capital gains taxes. And here the discourse and the probl...
This is an interesting question. Yet are the older generations more important in the voting electorate? The younger generations seem to be less active...
If you have out of control lobbying and inherent structural corruption, don't blame it people that are rich. Blame it on the system that has basically...
Which (in the case of UN) have been a) at start been voluntarily accepted by them and b) not usually not de facto enforced if the state don't follow w...
As I said. Xi Jingping could argue that the economic growth that China has seen now is "likes of which the World has never seen before". The US growth...
Show me where in the US Constitution the Congress forfeits it's power to the UN? I don't think you find it there. Not there in even in the case of Fin...
In the end it all comes down that peer pressure. Just think WHY did Israel start the Peace process in the first place? The answer in my view is that t...
Yes. Just like the UN truly did go to war in Korea. Yet the UN is made of sovereign states that decide what to do with the organization. Hence the rul...
It's obvious that sovereign states can and should agree on many issues. That doesn't take away their sovereignty at all. If one state goes totally off...
If there would be a true universal authority, nothing else in the World would bring people together as it would ...in opposing it from the heart. Auth...
What is interesting is that Trump's approval (and disapproval) has stayed quite the same. I think that people have just gotten numb. https://mediadc.b...
And just what institution would have the authority to say so? Nations have sovereignty, that is how they are defined. They can make agreements between...
A respectful and moderate tone is desirable as it's the most likely to foster serious and productive discussion. Having said that, you may express you...
Stick with your condescending attitude about your fellow citizens. If you are an American, that is. And insanity? People have believed in silly things...
Being Marxist and being 'left-wing' are totally different. Somebody advocating for social security and a welfare state doesn't make him or her to be a...
Yes. Not only that, but they are totally insane if they don't disagree Xtrix. Those climate deniers! Your not listening to Xtrix. They are insane. End...
Here is her opening speech (if I got the correct one from yesterday). Might be some other speech, because in this one I don't hear anything optimistic...
