Bernie Sanders sounds just like Hitler

then its even more preposterous to pull the group average down and shave off the tops and keep the bottoms
This is nonsense, but that's ok. I'm willing to give evolution a couple of MILLION years to play out on our tax and spend decisions today.
:rolleyes:
 
this subject is so clear to me because I have 4 kids with oldest being 15.
I have seen what is happening to once very good schools in Carlsbad.
When the schools bring in large amount of english as a second language kids... the resources get shifted away from educating the top kids.

The teacher have to spend more time with the less advanced kids. in fact the more advanced kids actually participate in the education of the less advanced kids rather than learning more math, more science and more english.

I can tell you this, a lot of the top teachers left.
don't be so sure about that. Your kids may be learning a lot more about the world and people than I did growing up in a monoculture.

same here when it comes to climate change. Get back to me in a million years.
 
I think we should all step back for a moment and realize that all modern, advanced countries have mixed economies -- capitalism and socialism. The discussion in my view should be about what is the best mix. The answer surely will not be the same for all countries. But it would be folly to assume that every country has the mix just right. The U.S. in spite of its Vet administration and Social Security being virtually 100% socialized, and its socialist-leaning Armed forces, Medicaid and Medicare, remains the most capitalist large country on Earth. To illustrate just how capitalist the U.S. really is, consider that the U.S., among all industrialized countries, no matter their populations, is the only country that still denies, despite it's recent ACA Act, access to routine medical care for some of its citizens in Some States, if they can not afford it, and even Passport issuance and some of its Prisons are privatized. It surely must be the only large, modern country on Earth that has for-profit Prisons or whose passport issuance is not entirely a government operation. Being at the extreme, would suggest that if any country could benefit from somewhat greater socialism in its mix, it would be the United States. On the other hand, China lies close to the other extreme, one might assume logically, therefore, that China's is the large economy most likely to benefit from an increase of capitalism in its mix.

Not the same. All groups will experience the effects of climate change, but not all groups will experience the effects of US fiscal and monetary policy.

which groups will not experience the effects of US fiscal and monetary policy?

oh sorry I forgot this was 2016, an election year and all reason is legally thrown off the board. Now expalin to me again how the most capitialistic society is defined by how many benefits it denies.

Are you smoking again? Is that why your response is nonsensical?
