I said that employees are exploited if their employer turns a profit? Can you link that post?

I asked how you decided that I believe what you accused me of believing and you said because I said something totally different in this thread.

And now you’re patting yourself on your back for this amazing gotcha moment.

You must be having a bad day. You’re not usually blatantly dishonest.

Tariffs are leftism?


What do you call government intervention in markets to increase taxation to redistribute money to a selected class of people?


Just like a little socialist trying to discredit the founding fathers. ALL were leftists right Slo.

Market interference? Check


Not a single time in our history has there not been tariffs. CHECK!

Come on. Tell us when the USA was not a socialist/Leftist nation. What century did that occur?

So if Democrats pass a tax that makes ammunition cost a thousand times what it does today, that is free market Trump-esque economics?


Horrible comparison. That's a complete item.. not an item from another nation.

Placing a tariff on ammo from the UK is not the same as placing a tax on ammo made everywhere.

It does matter. You equated a tariff on A product from ANOTHER nation to the Gov putting a tax on that same product from all nations including this nation.

Nowhere near the same.

But you have already said it, over and over in this thread. There has never been in time per your own definition that the USA was not a leftist/socialist nation.

Period... full stop.

That is your opinion of the the USA and that goes all the way back to the founding fathers. And that's ok. You can have your opinion.

I have ignored nothing. I have not allowed you to change the topic that we are talking about. Stay on topic.

Because the market is the market.

Because it's the truth, and you've offered no rebuttal. Only your conclusions without any support.

And if you were honest, I would love to compare your definition of Leftism in the same way...but you've avoided it.

This is on topic.

You made claims about something being in the Constitution. I asked for a cite. YOU said it, not me.

Are you admitting you were wrong?

And I'm asking for your definition of Leftism to apply to your own argument. But you refuse.

Both are directly responsive to what you've said.

How do you define Leftist economics? Specifically as a policy. Not in relation to any other country or policy.

Still waiting

Leftist economics policy includes SSI, Medicare, foreign aid, deficit spending, Dept of Educ, earmarks, cost of living adjustments, etc

Conservative economics died forever with Hoover. And is forever dead. The Republicans went from the dominant party to the wasteland in the '32 elections, and sat there for 60+ years. FDR made a socialist nation. We have moved the needled back somewhat, but your anti-Trump logic on economics is pie in the sky. Those days are long gone

And the old milk toast Republican party knows that, and really doesnt want to win elections. They want to be the minority party because they really cannot be economically conservative. Its devastating at election time

You just defined it specifically in relation to policies.

uhhhh, that they cannot govern using conservative economics, because its devastating at election time. It gets exhausting repeating the points made to you, btw

So you singling out Trump because hes not an economic conservative is simply a red herring. Because there are none of them in current politics. They simply dont get re-elected

Trump spending vs GDP (which is a pretty damn big factor) isnt even in the top 5 since 1900
