Testing The Financial Apologists

You don't know what "authoritarian" means.
​

Who made the loopholes?YOU keep electing governments who let assholes like Trump avoid paying taxes. YOU are cutting your own throat, letting the rich get away with robbing you. YOU are Trump's best friend. I keep trying to tell you, helping the poor won't hurt you. Wiping out the poor - by making them middle-class - will make taxpayers of them, which will ease your tax burden. Teach a man to fish and you can keep more fish for yourself.

Just wondering what you mean by "Democratically appointed".Do you mean "democratically appointed"? Because "democratic" and "appointed" are pretty much opposites.Or do you mean "appointed by Democrats"? Because, if you do, I'd like to point out, once again, that you ALWAYS back Republicans and you NEVER back Democrats, Mr. Doesn't-Know-What-Moderate-Means.Here's a quick lesson in American government for you: The US has
1. the Executive branch, which may Be Democrat or Republican
2. the Legislative branch, which is subdivided into So... there are THREE entities, which may add up to Democrat-Democrat-Democrat, Democrat-Republican-Democrat, Democrat-Republican-Republican, etc.So... it's pretty hard to blame the debt on one party.But YOU seem to be able to attach blame to the Democrats, Mr. Doesn't-Know-What-Moderate-Means. SO show us HOW the Democrats are responsible for the debt.(Another factor, just to put the icing on the cake, is that sometimes there is a NEED for borrowing - a hurricane submerges a major city, for example. So the justification for the debt rising gets even more complex.)So SHOW us.

When somebody who knows the subject is "oblivious" to something, maybe that something is not significant.

And yet you said in Message 148, "A tax increase for the wealthy wont solve the fiscal problems that a Democratically appointed Federal Reserve has caused. The Democrats will get rightly blamed for the next economic crash."You have contradicted your own claim. And you have also failed to show that, "a tax increase for the wealthy wont solve the fiscal problems...."

Your Bible quote says nothing about private property rights. Nobody has ever suggested that but you. Where are you getting this crap? Who is going to be agreeing? Once again, money that is spend on humanitarian causes is not money thrown down the drain. All money that CIRCULATES in the economy is good for the economy.

First, can YOU explain why perpetual debt is a bad thing? The only "intrinsic value" in anything is our individual and collective productivity. Gold has very limited value, for things like electrical contacts and jewelry. It is "worth" only what people will pay for it, like anything else."Money" has never been anything but a medium of exchange. People agree that a pound of bacon (which has actual value) is worth so-and-so much gold, or such-and-such a number on paper. The world is living beyond its means only in terms of the pollutants we are putting into the atmosphere, the oceans, etc. Bumper sticker.
