If that's the liberal idea of "improving lives", it's no wonder that they're on the outside looking in as far as political power and influence is concerned in D.C. these days, and have to instead rely on hate-filled, violent scum like Antifa to advance their smarmy agenda in the streets.
Me thinks you've been a victim of right wing brainwashing. FOX News much?

Says the person who says Obama was the worst president ever followed by Carter. Anybody who has studied U.S. history knows Obama doesn't rank as the worst president, but its obvious you've never did. So much for your right-wing indoctrination system!

What is "social democracy?"

No, we wouldn't have "transitioned" to any kind of democracy, which is mob rule. Our founders were much wiser (and far more intelligent) than most of today's university "professors." They knew history, and they understood the dangers of too much power in the hands of too few (or worse, in the hands of one person). That is why they gave us a Constitutional Republic, where the government is the servant of the people, and governs by consent of the governed. We have gone too far away from that principle, and are in danger of losing our Liberty. That is why people voted for Trump, and not Hillary. Those who support Hillary are Marxist-socialists, and are a danger to Liberty.

Awwhhhh.... need a safe forum.. LOL. Obama is the worst ever. Nothing he did ever helped our country prosper... Nothing. LOL. The worst, and he had a chance to overcome so many things and just made them worse.

Also, rural electrification of the early to mid 20th century. Government program, tax dollars at work. The free market would NEVER have found it profitable without government spending to set up so much infrastructure to serve so few customers.

"let the buyer beware" - a principle that people are expected to have full knowledge of a product before they buy it, used by big business interests to oppose.... safe food and drugs. Because you know, the average person should have the same knowledge of chemicals in foods and drugs as the manufacturer does?

The point I was making is you don't get to decide what is best for "the working class" or any American. You know without a doubt your judgement is superior to the judgement of "the working class". And worse, you don't see the arrogance of such thinking.

But Trump can't even define the term liberty.

I think this statement probably applies to most of the regulars on this forum, including you and me, bud.

Which is precisely why I stated earlier that we should perhaps start by improving our educational system.
