You should define how you see leftist economics, for the board.

Capitalism is freedom.

The problem is that you don't understand that freedom breeds inequality.

I'll respond to your post but I don't have a lot of time hopefully you will understand.

You make some good points one of the things that I've been trying to argue against....

like with tariffs is the damage is when it's done with an executive mandate that is what I call leftist/big Govt.
now if a tariff is passed because Congress approves of it and it's been debated throughout the halls of Congress then that would be policy that I would not label leftist or totalitarian.

respect for the Constitution is always a good measuring stick

You think your post was somehow showing your intelligence?

You are correct you belong being the cool kid on the OT. You are sad but I no longer feel sorry for you.

You really think the poli board is not worthy of your intellect?

Trying to change the topic again.

quote:

Minimum taxation isn't leftist, especially if it's not targeted as intervention in the market. That was how tariffs operated previously.


Answer the question Slow. And no it wasn't the way it operated. It protected American businesses too.

Simple question only needs a simple answer. You keep avoiding. It's a leftist policy now, but wasn't then?

quote:

quote:
So policy changes are leftist or conservative based on the times?


The times change how government operates, which changes the nature of policies.



So the times dictate when a tariff is conservative or not.

quote:

I am answering the question. But you are ignorant to our history, government, and economics, so you need the basis to understand, apparently.



No you weren't. Based on what you just stated, tariffs can be leftist or conservative based on what you say it is.

Tell me about the Roman tariffs.....

What is the logical conclusion of capitalism?
It gives individuals the power to change their station in life like no other

is it perfect no
But it gives the individual a conduit to change their station in life without having to go to an authority that is vested in not letting them change their station in life

That's why Trump halting some of the regulations that made it impossible to start up a small business was one of the things he did I LOVED

I hope he does IT AGAIN during his 1st 2 days in office Again I don't think Trump is a conservative but he does have some conservative practices based in business that he encourages

He is quarreling with himself. My reply to him was very kind.

He complains about rational discourse and discussions, yet starts his gruesome reply with over the top name calling.

He can frick off. Have fun wasting time with SFP's trolling.

The argument here is that congress has given away it's powers.

Not really. You always do that. You simply can not answer a question because you can not justify your position if you do.

You fact-checked the color of political parties in Norway, not whether he was popular in rural Norway, whether I even live there, if there are Biden signs anywhere over there, or if Trump “losing Scandinavia” has any kind of significance in my farce of a post.

You really do have crippling levels of autism.

The USA is a Republic. Never in our history has the gov not set up rules and regulations. It's part of the US Constitution. Has always been.

The question is how much should we the people allow. There is a role for Gov in trade and commerce.
