Progs screw the working man again. To the extent the qouted nincompoops voted for progs, I am glad they are suffering. Being a dumbass isn't easy. Just aks the NSR progs. I am tired of trying to save progs from themselves. Let them experience pain.

Corporations are the problem. Gotta keep the pay low and the profits high.

What would you do? Get rid of corporations? Hope you like living a Dark Ages lifestyle. If not for corporations, you'd probably be dead by now. If you weren't, you'd be living in a grass hut with dirt floors. I challenge you to go one day without using anything made by a corporation. Finally, I'd point out that the profits corporations make come from people like you. You voluntarily pay them your money.

Well we've been through this before, "corporation" is just the organizational part - it's who the corporation serves is the problem.

If they solely serve the profit motive of the people control nearly all the wealth (capitalists), than they by default don't serve the public interest. And they hate that "voluntary" part of paying them money, so they form trusts and monopolies that make sure you've got no other choice.

In the old days, Republicans like TR would "bust" those trusts up because they restrain trade and hurt the people, but now those trusts have gained so much power they can purchase the services of the government, and as long as they keep people fighting about trans-girls playing sports, Stormy Daniels, or some other petty outrage, they can get away with it.

If you didn't have profit motive with corporations, you wouldn't have corporations. And you would not have all the things you have. Name me one thing you use in your daily life that isn't the subject of competition.

He's a commie, and hates the idea of competition. He'd rather "equality for all" whereas everyone is fed, and has a home...just like prison.

Anyway, the supposed beneficiaries of this plan are making less. Progs always make things worse, as we are seeing with Dementia Joe.

Electricity.

And I suppose you've never heard of a non-profit corporation.

Not anymore. You can get solar panels, batteries, and home generators. Plenty of people living off the grid these days. When I get the new house build, I'll be able to if I want.

Cutting of regulations. Profit is fine, but the truth about that profit should be in the open.

The housing market crashed, free money was rampant and corporations/money traders cornered the housing market for profit. Now the average price of a home is too much for an average working American. That should not have been allowed to happen. But then again, when you have to cut two regulations for every new one, what are you gonna do? Once again the people pay for record profits and high stock values.

Correct, housing costs have doubled under Dementia Joe. Most people cannot afford one now due to that senile numbskull. Since you bring it up, here's some news for you, Cole - regulations increase housing costs.

Nah, they jumped under Trump. Poor legislation has consequences.

The tax cuts and $7 trillion in spending are taking their toll, as is lack of regulation. There is a reason Republicans always fail when it comes to the economy; they don't get it... never have and never will.

Are you claiming that housing costs are the sole thing that Dementia Joe hasn't screwed up? Hah. No one will believe that.

Joe has done a fine job, especially when you consider what Trump left him. You yourself posted a link of why the economy is the way it is. Do you not believe what you post?

I was wondering who made up that handful of people who thought that Dementia Joe is handling the economy well.

I would have thought you'd know that you cannot get a certificate of occupancy for a residential dwelling without it being connected to the available power utility, solar panels be damned.
