There are literally people all over the South that think that black people are mentally inferior.
You obviously haven’t spent time anywhere else in this country if you only think that attitude exists only in the South.
Check with your fellow liberals all over the country, they’ll confirm you’re FOS.

Still waiting on an answer.

No, its a mixed economy.
Government influence makes it unaffordable for poor people.
And who exactly buys and pays for that government? You're so close. You're almost there. Think about it really hard and you'll figure out exactly what I'm talking about. If you guessed that companies that want to monopolize then you would be correct. Since companies are legal citizens that can fund campaigns, the very wealthiest people in the country literally have control of the markets. That is always going to be the end result. This idea that somehow any of the capitalist class of this country is somehow going to relinquish that and return to some free market ideals is just beyond naive. But it makes for a good talking point to dismiss the socioeconomic standards of many communities in this country though, right?

Since you quite obviously have this all figured out, what exactly is/are your solution/solutions?

I don't know why you're waiting for an answer on this. You're not even making any valid points. This is all emotional drivel that does not represent an entire community.

I don't know if you know this but Americans in general are getting poorer and poorer and the Very wealthiest top half percent are getting richer and richer. You can want to do better all you like but in this current climate it's a pretty difficult. Poor gen Z kids are going to have an impossible time paying back student loans or ever buying themselves a house. We've got an out of control system that's not working for most people in this country

I imagine it's going to rely heavily on taxing people, possibly even a "wealth tax" (although he should say "liquidity tax" instead).

A. Inability to pay for yourself in this country is 100% a result of bad decisions/behaviors.
B. If you’re telling me no such programs exist to help people who cannot pay for themselves then you’re telling me your democrat party is completely ineffective and has been selling lies for the last 70 years.
So, Which is it?

Black market, etc.
People become street pharmacists when its the easiest path to economic independence.
During prohibition, it was booze. Now its drugs.
Its not poverty that drives crime necessarily, its inflation. In economic downturns when prices remain stable, so does the crime rate.
When inflation kicks in, so does the crime rate.
The current US monetary policy is to create a dangerous black market, if we're looking solely at policy.
quote:
Many of the current generation haven’t had to deal much with inflation, other than a small, barely noticeable and manageable increase every year. But now it has reached a steady annual rate of more than 5% for several months, led by increases for food, shelter, cars and energy.
When the economy tanked during the great recession of 2008-10, crime rates remained low. Now, they are rising. Some experts say this is because we’ve been focusing on the wrong thing.
Inflation, not unemployment or falling wages, is the real catalyst for crime.

The government shrinking your dollar, reducing your purchasing power is the catalyst for crime.
"Making America Great Again" has to tame inflation, reduce regulation (Which adds 20%+ to costs of goods and services) and destroy barriers to entry for entreprenuers.
Progressive policies work counter to all of these.

Correct. It's not "globalization" or "China' or "RINOs"

Because fiscal policy has destroyed the value of the dollar.
Its a wealth based society now, thanks to a century of padding the coffers.

Well I don't have it all figured out And I am not Any Arbiter of the truth But I have a few ideas:
1. Start taxing low interest loans that billionaires use against near liquid assets. They are constantly printing new money with their Investments yet paying a lower tax rate than everyone else and it's because they borrow money against near liquid assets and then don't have to pay as much taxes because they're paying back a loan. They get these loans for less than 1% usually. I'm saying that the government should add a percent or two anyone borrowing money to live while using near liquid assets of a certain value.
That would help with our national debt and our public spending
2. I think there should be grants given To companies That are started and owned Cooperatively Period We need less Businesses owned by High net worth individuals Who want to make passive income And more companies owned by the actual employees Period This would create more incentive for the employees since they are directly tied to the profit And overall would create A healthier Society.
3. We need to apply regulations properly. All the data harvesting that goes on and all of the surveillance that goes on in this country are all Criminal.
4. We need to find a way to bring colleges back to public ownership. The expense of going to college in the 1960s versus now is quite different and a lot of people will blame student loans but the truth is that as many Republicans like Nixon and Reagan set out to cut back funding for colleges they started operating more like businesses which became the downfall of our entire education system in college. It's very important to have an educated society that knows how to use critical thinking skills

And very much likely to lean heavily on giving subsidies and handouts to certain groups of people... rewarding them for bad behavior and enticing them to not change a thing.

can you imagine the black privilege the kids who's dad's are pro athletes. I would think that they get some really nice gifts. now think about that poor white boy born to a single mom who's living off of welfare. wonder who has it better. Im thinking the black privilege kid does!

A bigger reason is inhibiting growth via regulations and taxes, while creating an underclass via government welfare/redistribution programs. We've literally permitted a huge subset of the population to choose to become unemployable in a modern economy.
But yes our monetary policies since 2009 have not been ideal and are severely hurting younger Millennials and Gen Z.
