Locked

Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz has dropped out of the American presidential race. Leaving Donald Trump without anyone to stop him as a nominee with over 1,000 delegates. America is doomed...

I wouldn't mind Sanders, but I would rather Trump by a mile. At least he doesn't need to worry about paying back investors.

I think the media really tarnishes the image of Donald Trump. People forget the president can only do so much. Trump surrounded himself with good people, which is why he is as successful as he is today.

$15 dollar minimum wage is great for employees... TERRIBLE for employers! If Sanders is elected, the public will do great for a half-year until the banks and employers go absolutely bankrupt. Then it's 2008 again... except the banks have even LESS money and LESS assets.

its not good for employees..

its awful..

They lose jobs

Lose Hours

Lose jobs to more experienced workers

young inexperienced workers cannot get jobs

Cost of goods increase

obviously this affects small business more.. sure Walmart suport a min wage hike, just to put their competitors out of business.

Government, never should have bailed out the banks.

Government never should have had that idea..

that expectation, that the government will come to the rescue, if a back gets in trouble, led to risky loans, and risky trading.

Another reason, why free market capitalism works!

and when the government gets too far involved.

it only causes the 08 financial thingy

No government should ever get involved in private sector things except to ensure that freedoms and fair trade aren't trampled upon. The power of the consumer keeps corporations in check and rarely does the concept of a monopoly ever REALLY apply. most monopolies or proposed/perceived monopolies are not of absolute neccesity-type goods or services. Microsoft was never a monopoly when they bundled their browser (IE) with Windows because the competition was freely sought and free to download -- both the OS AND the browser (i.e, UNIX and Netscape). So long as SOME form of competition exists, no monopoly should be declared and even if a monopoly does exist, so what?" Consumers still have the power of the boycott.

For governments to get involved in concepts like welfare, education, environmentalism, retirement, healthcare, and other social programs defeats the nature of government. A government has only three responsibilities: protect the nation from foreign invasion, protect the nation from insurrection and crime, and protect the various municipalities and cross-municipal businesses from each other. Other than that, the local municipalities should have universal jurisdiction on all other matters that are relevant to their citizens.

In America, we have one one more responsibility of the federal government and that is this: to protect the basic rights as afforded in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. But to extend that protection beyond the basics of the Bill of Rights (i.e., gay marriage) is unconstitutional according to the founders who established our nation in accordance with God's ordained will. What other nations choose for their specific laws is up to them, but in America, our federal government (and many states too) has overstepped it's bounds an hundredfold. That is why we have the monstrous debt which is nearly 20 Trillion US Dollars with unfunded federal mandates indebtedness nearly at 100 Trillion US Dollars (that's TRILLION with a "T").

Also, many of our social imbalances as perceived by rioting folks in the streets are almost exclusively caused by the federal government involving itself in social affairs in the first place.

The market crisis of 1929 was deliberately caused by the central banks calling in all of their loans from other banking establishments, merchants, and many individuals with loans. It was a ploy to give rise to the Federal Treasury's bid to rescind the obvious right of ownership of Gold. This was one of the earlier moves by the liberal left to tear away at the capitalist concept of the right of ownership of property.

That FDR enacted terrible "great society" policies further exacerbated the situation which extended the market crises into a depression and that depression was extended nearly to a whole decade by those bad policies and thus it was later termed the Great Depression because of how much of a fiscal disaster it caused.

I should know, a member of my family lost a vast amount of his personal wealth when he lost control of his holdings in several stocks as well as his own loans given to various banks were lost when the banks collapsed. This family member, a great uncle of mine, wound up taking his own life when he was ruined. He was a very rich man and he was cast into utter poverty in 1929. He couldn't adjust and made a disastrous mistake -- all due to liberalism and it's evil lies.

Liberalism is the reason my uncle killed himself and I will never accept ANY of it's concepts. I'm a free capitalist through and through and socialism (which is the ultimate order of liberalism) along with it's various offshoot cohorts will never have a part of my life as far as I'm concerned.

Those same liberal ideas were behind the Nazis, the Fascists, and the Communists and they are terribly destructive. Those liberal ideas are the fuel that empowers evil dictators to pillage and murder millions of people around the world. In the last century, socialism in all its forms was responsible for the deaths of well over one hundred million people world-wide as well as another billion human souls through the wicked practice of child-murder (colloquially known as "abortion") as well as the abortive chemical found in the two-stage variety of "the pill".

do we have a libertarian on our hands :)

Although I think, that the government must regulate certain products, to keep them safe. And I think the government also needs to provide Fire services etc..

but leaving things to the private sector, is what makes money, wealth, and better services!

I agree with who on the economic views!
