@IAmSubjugated@TheAliceSmith Bankers didn’t create the US. But they’ve certainly convinced leaders they’re necessary. And conned the US people into thinking they need one. Without the governments use of force to protect them, bankers would have not near as much power
@flagmoff@TheAliceSmith You're just misinformed. The central bankers owned the world before the US was even a country. They created the US. Capitalism was invented by cronies for cronies. There has never been any other kind pf capitalism than crony capitalism. You have it ass backwards.
A socialist is someone who shows you their brilliance and humanity through rhetoric, slogans, sound bites, papers, theories.
A capitalist is someone who shows you their brilliance and humanity through services, products, achievements, outcomes, results.
@IAmSubjugated@TheAliceSmith It’s part of the reason the Founders setup a system they did. And hence the fight in the States over a central bank. Sadly the bankers won. Even breaking Madison when he bought into the Bank of the US. And ultimately the Fed was created. However, capitalism doesn’t require one
@IAmSubjugated@TheAliceSmith Banks are powerful because of government. This was the whole point of limiting government power. To put a check on the ability of individuals or groups to wield the monopoly of force (ie the State) over people. As we’ve strayed from that, we’ve allowed for cronyism to take hold
@flagmoff@TheAliceSmith "Don't blame capitalism for bailing out the banks." You would have to believe the government is more powerful than banks. This helps me to understand the capitalism stans. They believe the government is more powerful than the banks. They believe the governement is in charge. Wow.
@IAmSubjugated@TheAliceSmith Because you socialists don’t let the market handle cronies. Best example in our generation was bailing out the banks. Don’t blame capitalism for that shit
@TheAliceSmith Also, a capitalist is someone who buys politicians and makes them tax you and give your taxes to them. You know, like Raytheon, Pfizer, and Goldman Sachs etc. There has never been such a thing as non crony capitalism. Capitalism was invented by cronies for cronies.
@JerpaDerpa@Miraqulee@songpinganq@unusual_whales You socialist cucks are ruining this country and you don’t even know it because you refuse to learn about economics and economic theory. You just blabber on about the billionaires with your bumper sticker slogans.
"The top 1 percent of American households, which have a minimum net worth of $11.1 million, now collectively own about $25.6 trillion worth of stocks and mutual funds, the same amount as the remaining 99% of the country," per the Federal Reserve
@JerpaDerpa@Miraqulee@songpinganq@unusual_whales So what. Kim Kardashian is a popular TV show. Does that make it good? He redistributed wealth, rounded up Japanese Americans, debased physical gold, and then started payroll taxes. Fuck this socialist
@CosmicTang@songpinganq@unusual_whales But he created the middle class and after his presidency you could buy a house on a single income.
It's almost like we could learn from the good and bad and avoid doing the bad. 🤔
Genuine question on a restaurant situation:
You walk up to a counter to order.
You find your own table and seat yourself.
If you order coffee, they hand you a cup and you go fill it up yourself.
If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and when it goes off, you go pick it up yourself.
The iPad has a “20%, 25%, 30%, Other” tip option, with 20% already preselected.
What’s your move?

The constitution makes POTUS CinC with no qualifications that his actions must be pre-approved by congress. The checks and balances congress has in this matter is impeachment and funding. If you don't like it don't fund it. If the president did something criminal impeach him. Short of those two things shut the fuck up and do your goddamn jobs in working out appropriation bills.
.@SenRandPaul on Venezuela "If you reverse the circumstances, it becomes very difficult for these arguments to hold up...If a foreign country bombed our air defense missiles, captured and remove our president, and blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?"
