Democrats Prepare to ‘Fundamentally Reform’ Capitalism

[virtusa]

How did Trump damage it? Market has been up buy volatile as hell in his 4 years. But all the fundamental data like unemployment and manufacturing has been "The best numbers of our lives" says Jim Cramer pre-covid.

This is true for the whole Western world. Which shows that it has nothing to do with Trump.

In Europe stockmarkets are at record levels too. And unemployment has never been lower. Did Trump achieve that too?

Bidens plan is actually better for almost everyone except the 1%ers

Most Trump voters have no clue about that.
On this forum I always here about the transaction tax. So that is the main, or even the only, reason why people here are for Trump.

I live in EU and our healthcare fo 4 people in a family is costing me close to zero. We pay a little bit more taxes, but surely not the $3,000 a month that you need in the US for a good healthcare. The American dream is for most people just a dream, just like good healthcare for them is a dream.
I will give an example because Americans have no clue what our healthcare is:
last year I had medical bills for the entire family for 5.253 Euro.I had to pay myself 132.64 Euro. The rest (5,139.69) was paid by healthcare. So I paid only 2.16% of the total cost. What would you pay in the US?

The Obama healthcare system was abolished by Trump. That is one of Trump's achievements.

Obama might find a management job in the private sector.

Trump will have difficulties to find a job, even as a sanitary cleaner. Nobody wants him in their company. And surely not in a responsible job.

Obama has an education, Trump has not. Trump even had to pay somebody to pass his most elementary school education. Tells a lot about his qualifications.

You too are missing the big point.

Obama INTENTIONALLY did everything he thought he could get away with to harm America. Trump is not that. And in this election, regardless of what one thinks of Trump, he's still at a minimum the lesser evil.

He is not an America hater, he is a Trump hater. Don't twist his words (like Trump does all the time).

I didn't "twist words". He stated "ANTIFA and BLM are a good start." That's not "Trump hating" IMV. Only evil people see good in ANTIFA and BLM. They are violent, criminal thugs... allowed to do what they do by Lefty politicos for some supposed advantage in the polls.

If they would in Europe shoot people like in the US it would be a big problem too.
It is really coincidence that police is almost always shooting black people? Some of them were just murdered with proof on video. If police wants to kill criminals ( blacks but also whites) I have no problem wit no that.
There is a lot of racisme in the US.

And no, I am not black, I don't like the illegal immigrants in Europe and I am no leftist. Immigration laws should be much stronger.

They are violent, criminal thugs... allowed to do what they do by Lefty politicos for some supposed advantage in the polls.

Tha'ts pure nonsense as the thugs and criminals cause problems all year round, even when there are no polls.

I liked it, even though I'm not in favor of the death penalty. Didn't the penalty for treason used to be death by firing squad? If it happens to Trump, well what could we say, other than he got what he deserved.. Robbing a liquor store is one thing, but stealing from a nation is another.

Joe Biden's the one that's been stealing. Tony Bobulinski confirmed it.

And then you pay for medication b/c govt health care does not cover it.

Please allow me to quote Rule 13 in Chapter 16 "Success" Rules from The is the road to stock market success by George Seamans.

Rule 13. Do not permit your opinions about political matters to influence your market judgment. You may have a "soft spot" for the under-dog and sympathize with the "New Deal", "oppressed peoples", "labor", and other "causes" that is your "private" affair but marketwise consider speeches by the President objectively so that you may gauge every possibility and reaction. What may be perfectly "right", and even "noble" from a "social, moral and religious" standpoint, can be 100% wrong from a market standpoint ("freedom from want" and "soak the rich", for example).

Learn to exercise professional judgment as regards your stock market operations. Do not allow political leanings to interfere with your trading. You cannot ride two horses at the same time. If you could you would be in the circus. (When in Rome, do as the Romans did. They threw Mussolini out because of political leanings which interfered with the welfare of the nation).

But this is America. Americans like a winner and a fighter. Trump is both. Every red blooded American hates losing. Trump will win with a landslide.

Wrong. I have medication for high blood pressure. I pay around 5 Euro for 3 months medication. I know that from 1 product official price is around 100 Euro. All the rest goes to medical healthcare. Medical healthcare covers everything, not just hospitalisation. Your remark confirms that you have no idea about our healthcare system.

I worked 15 years in one of the biggest hospital groups in Europe. We had a constant flow of Americans that flew to us for an operation. Was much cheaper than in the US. Even if you add up operation, plane tickets and hotel cost.
It would be interesting to make a list of the most common operations and make a comparison between the US and my native country. Americans would be in shock from the difference.
If we go for a doctor (general poraticer) we pay between 0 and 5 Euro. What do you pay in the US?

There is a lot of racisme in the US.

1. Blacks in US are 13% of the population, yet they commit 52% of murders. Including all violent crimes, blacks commit them at a rate of 7-10 TIMES higher than whites, so of course there are going to be more "police-black" confrontations.

2. Police in US kill MORE WHITES than blacks every year! The MSM just doesn't make a big deal about that. ("White lives don't matter" when it comes to politics.)

3. There isn't as much racism in the US as you perceive. Most of it has been ginned-up by the Left for supposed political advantage.

Yes, blacks commit crimes and thuggery year-around. But the recent behavior has been ginned-up in an effort to keep Trump from being reelected.

I see you are from Ireland. The information you receive about the US is not only "propagandized", much of it is apparently inaccurate.
