One week you are a capitalist and the next week you are anti-capitalist. The week after that you are a capitalist again.

So, aren't most of them homosexuals? At least what they do for sex won't result in abortions that Republicans hate so much. So, they're still good for something in another way.

Why with record productivity can we not afford to pay a wage that can afford people to reasonably own a house? Is paying 3-5X your annual income simply unreasonable to expect, particularly when the rest of the world are also modernzing and improving their standard of living?

Lower population growth means more demand for government services with fewer new workers to do things like build houses and apartments? Longer lifespan and more elderly keeping their homes into old age makes it so housing isn't being freed up? Perhaps we designed social programs that we knew were pyramid schemes from the start and they are starting to tax the system with lack of population growth...

Are we going to have to get used to living with less and paying more? What is the solution? I would say ... build more housing and not allow investors to use real estate as an investment vehicle... single family houses should be owner occupied or tax the person triple. Something must be done to make it easier for the middle class to afford the picket fence life... I mean we already don't have true capitalism... we have a managed economy with federal reserve QE pumping up asset prices....

I seriously don't know the answer here, but it has to go beyond the typical left/right arguments we have here.
government caused these problems, more government will not solve them. no one wants the solution for a strong American economy because it isn’t politically correct.

deregulation
let the banks decide how to lend
no federal money for banks
get the government out of the housing market
energy independence
lobbying and campaign finance reform
term limits

Yes, Capitalism is the worst system ever.... except for everything else that's been tried.

Well that's the plan. Make it financially impossible for responsible Americans to have kids and bring in millions of illegals who like large families of whom will vote Democrat and the same with those Americans who will vote Democrat in exchange for hand outs compliments of the working taxpayer. It's a system destined to fail.

Wealthy people need to pay a iiveable wage if they own a business. Business start ups need to be regulated more to fit the number of Americans who can and will fill any job for a fair wage and then there will be no labor shortages nor does it equate to paying more for basic services.

A smaller population to fit a smaller economy is far more healthier in many ways for a country.

If you reduce the federal governments headcount & budget by 1/3rd, our economy will explode with growth, & Americans will prosper and multiply.

Why?

In capitalism, the private sector generates all growth, & government generates no economic growth...its a parasite. Remove the parasite, and the host will have more resources to grow & multiply.

It really is that simple. Our economic system is being bled out by a massive parasite, that will eventually kill its host.

Working in a LTC/Rehab facility for 20 years, I fail to see it.

The Filipino's I worked with all had 2 children, the Mexican-American had 2 children, but the Blacks I worked with had the most children, and the Blacks were not illegals.

Capitalism is a Failure? What should we have instead? Socialism but the type of socialism that doesn't end in ruin for everyone but the tip top? Are you a Bernie Bro?





Chats like this remind me of that movie "Idiocracy". In that movie the "smart" people would often wait to have kids. They would go to college, get established in their careers, setup a nice house, have a nice financially stable life and then turn to having kids but by then it was too late for kids. The "stupid" people would just have drunk and high on life sex after the Monster truck show and not give a care about paying for the kid because the govement would.



The movie is a Sci Fi comedy that hits on many points of society today that are leading us to a grim future.
