You obviously view the opposing side as unwilling to want to help people, inferring there might be something wrong with us.
How do you propose helping people?

Where did you get that idea? Please demonstrate where I indicated that thought.

I advised you to read more and post less because you don't appear to have very coherent thoughts on anything - just lots of opinions on issues that you haven't demonstrated any real knowledge of.

You would have to dive into a lot of conservative reading. I suggest starting with Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics.

We want to give them jobs and the freedom to pursue their goals to the highest extent. You're from Argentina? Look to your neighbor Chile for some good results as to the power of free enterprise.

You are providing example after example of why it would benefit you to slow down on your post count and take a little more time instead to read and comprehend what others are saying.

I am a political moderate, and I think both left-wingers and right-wingers are very important. When the country goes too far left, the right will triumph in the next election to pull it back; and when the country goes too far right, the country will then vote left to pull it back. This has happened time and time again, but especially in this century and the last.

I just wish that we could have a reasonable and moderate POTUS for a change -- or at least one that is a mix of the two ideologies. My favorite Presidents since 1900 have been Kennedy, Clinton, and both Roosevelts -- all of whom would be considered either moderates or a "mix" in today's world -- and also Carter because, imo, he was (is) the most honest and I think that he truly wanted to make the world a better place for everyone.
