@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial ?? FDR didn't advocate for less centralized, more competitive government, and neither do any other socialists. Nordic countries also have very strict immigration and citizenship laws to protect the cultural homogeny that American socialists oppose.

They don’t want permission to acquire it voluntarily
They want to use violence and take it by force

@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial That’s FDR governence, those are the evil socialist policies people actually want. And it saves capitalism from itself
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial ?? They're not socialist. Compared to the US, they rank higher on economic freedom indexes, their private & public sectors are more competitive, & their governments are less centralized and less corrupt. They spend a higher % of GDP on social programs, but they are not socialist.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial Explain Nordic democratic socialist countries
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial I agree that the US has too much government-corporate collusion. But that's not due to free trade. The economies with the least corruption rank higher on economic freedom indexes than the US, and the least capitalist countries are more corrupt and much poorer than the US.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial We are getting one to save the status quo anyway
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial We don't need authoritarian government to save us from freedom.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial It happened before and we are track for it to happen again
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial You're arguing with your imagination, not real economies. People in economies with strong property rights and lots of free trade can afford much, much higher standards of living than economies with weak property rights and less free trade. This has always been the case.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial He saved capitalism, what happens in a society when most of the population can no longer afford to buy the goods it produces. To many gains have gone to the top and since goods can no longer be bought “free trade” no longer can take place. It’s a downward spiral.
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial Free trade is not going to collapse, free trade doesn't require authoritarian government to maintain it, and FDR didn't save free trade from free trade. None of that makes any sense.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial Of course we are, but that’s not gunna help when the system collapses or turns authoritarian to maintain the system. I’m just calling for some FDR save capitalism from itself stuff.
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial Then don't do business with big companies. You don't have to work for or buy from large corporations. Of course the government will give large corporations your tax money, but I think we're both against that, right?
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial It’s all good until the top gets to heavy
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial That's fine, if you do it voluntarily. What you can't do is force it on to other people who don't want to live collectively. Voluntary collectives are allowed in every free country in the world.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial Property rights are given by government not an economic mode. And free trade existed before capitalism so putting them together does not create a new thing. It’s just do we want the laborers to have a piece of what the production or does it all go to shareholders
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial Again, you can use whatever terms you want for free trade. But it doesn't make any sense to argue with people who are using different definitions for your terms than you're using. Most of the world calls strong property rights and free trade "capitalism."
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial That’s just mercantilism, not capitalism
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial Again, call it whatever you want. But in voluntary exchanges, there's no such thing as excess value, because both parties agree to the terms of the exchange. Any alternative to voluntary exchange requires authoritarian govt to prevent voluntary &/or force involuntary exchanges.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial That’s not being a capitalist tho is it. Both models definitions break down for self employment. Since you are the labor and owner. Being a capitalist is just owning the production and taking excess profit from your laborers.
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial Call it whatever you want. You can own the means of your own production if you choose. Or you can exchange your labor for money from someone else if you choose. What you can't do is take labor or property from other people without their consent & without them agreeing to terms.
English
@IndianaModerate @heresyfinancial So that’s just being in the labor class not the capital class
English
@CaptJaybles @heresyfinancial In 2026, there are a lot of ways to own your own production without much, if any, capital. What do you do for a living now?

@anniefreyshow Bet you loved Bruce Rauner when he wrecked our state credit rating and couldn’t pass a budget to pay the bills.

@mil0theminer That just tells me that the minimum wage should be risen then since the new floor has been set
English
The minimum wage is dead. The libertarians won. The free market now decides wages in places with a $7.25 minimum wage, almost no one gets $7.25 anymore
daz@MetamateDaz
The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

@MaryRuwart You were fine with it when prior generations paid it for your schools and other services

If we truly owned our homes, we wouldn’t have to pay rent to the county to keep from losing them.

@BasedMikeLee Your only way to win is for less citizens to vote GOTCHA

If we don’t pass SAVE America, Democrats win in November
If we pass SAVE America, we have a chance
Failure is not an option
Mark Meadows@MarkMeadows
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If republicans in the senate fail to pass the SAVE America Act, Democrats will take control.
English
@SenRickScott You would know how to fraud the system so you should know how to stop it.
English
16 years after Obamacare, families are STILL paying the price with higher premiums and fewer options. It’s time to fix our broken healthcare system.
My More Affordable Care Act puts patients in control instead of big insurance companies AND lowers costs. Americans deserve to have options and QUALITY care!

@chiproytx Issue a free federal voting ID and make Election Day a federal holiday
English
Proof of citizenship to vote? Wild concept.
TheBlaze@theblaze
Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman on the Save America Act: “This is not a voter ID law. This is a proof of citizenship requirement to register. That is very different from voter ID.”
English
@SenRandPaul Pretty sure those people are in the program paid for by state funds not the matching federal funds.
English
I have a bill that's pretty self-explanatory to fix a chunk of the problem: the Excluding Illegal Aliens from Medicaid Act.
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
This is why California’s fraud is so massive: Just look at their Medi-Cal budget vs Medi-Cal enrollment and population In 2022 the budget was $108 B and this year it will be $222 B, for what? Their population and enrollment hasn’t increased exponentially but their spending has more than doubled. Prime example of fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars.
