American capitalism vs. European socialism... Would Bernie Sanders' European inspired socialist dream even work in the United States?
Over 1 million immigrants enter the United States per year. An average of 2 million jobs are added per year.
Europe is currently experiencing an influx of migrants seeking refuge in European countries. 2014 saw 350,000 migrants and 2015 is predicted to reach 500,000.
Since 2009 European countries are still struggling to create jobs for their citizens due to stagnant economies and an influx of debt. Europe's touted social democracies -- already taxed to the breaking point -- are under a major strain.
Jobs fail to be created in a number of European countries not because of a ‘lack of demand,' but because when wage costs are priced too high relative to productivity, businesses will slow or stop hiring. The cost of the social insurances, social safety nets and tax burdens are too burdensome for the business environment.
With a steady flow of over 1 million immigrants entering the United States per year, how will Bernie Sanders and his democratic socialist government be able to maintain the necessary job growth year after year?
America is the perfect environment for capitalism, not socialism.
13 AnswersPolitics6 years agoThe problem with socialism is that you will eventually run out of other people's money. Why do so many people fail to realize this?
Let's compare the social democracies of Europe, which Bernie Sanders and the left are so fond of, to America's democratic republic and capitalist economy...
In 2014, the US estimated that 13 million illegal immigrants were living in our country, with 700,000 new immigrants entering per year. The vast majority have jobs, and even though often paid below minimum wage, are able to support families and live a better life than they would have back in their home countries. Nobody in America dies of starvation or lack of water.
The migrant crisis in Europe is on the verge of pushing many countries to the breaking point. Since 2013, roughly 350,000 migrants have crossed into European per year. Estimating for an increase to 500,000 in 2015. With most countries having closed their borders, death tolls are in the thousands, and migrants are left with no where to go, desperate for food, water.
So why doesn't the United States, who receives millions of both illegal and legal immigrants yearly for decades, face the same problems seen in Europe? The question answers itself. The socialist countries of Europe have simply ran out of money needed to fund all the social services and safety nets that they guarantee to the public.
Socialism = people lined up for bread
Capitalism = bread lined up for people
12 AnswersPolitics6 years agoAre liberals prejudice towards women?
The left often slanders and discredits Republican women, accusing them of being stupid and against their own interests.
Saying that republican women are "against their own interest," is assuming that all women have the same interests. Liberals categorize women as a whole, and assume they all have have the exact same interests and opinions.

7 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhat is your opinion on Trump's comments anout illegal mexican immigrants?
Personally, I think it's pretty clear that he wasn't referring to all immigrants as rapists and criminals. He said SOME were rapists, etc. and then went on to say that some were good people as well.

Religion gives meaning and purpose to life. Its not just about rules and codes...it gives you a sense of belonging...that when all alse fails, there is a Higher Power that you can turn to in times of need and despair. Catholic schools are also home to some of the best education in the country.

3 AnswersOther - Politics & Government6 years agoCan dogs detect eachothers gender just like humans can?
Humans can tell someones gender pretty much instantly just by looking at them. Is that the same for dogs? Or do they need to be closer and smell around before they can determine eachother's gender?

I was driving and she reached over with her dry hands and proceeded to give me a handjob as if she had lotion. Does she not understand the fundamental role that lotion has when it comes to handjobs. I didnt even ask for it, why couldnt she use her mouth.

4 AnswersPolitics6 years agoIs there anywhere to find the numbers of homicide since Mike Brown? As in total killed by police vs. total killed by another citizen?
It's horrible that we always have 2 or 3 cases in America like the mike brown one, but i am curious to see the breakdown of homicides since his ruling. I do not agree with the "Black lives matter" slogan when only referring to when a white person commits the murder.
5 AnswersPolitics6 years agoIf only the rich gave more money to the poor.?
It's simply too easy to say if only we gave more to poor people, or supported them more, they would do better. It's a,non-falsifiable argument. It doesn't matter how much they are given, if it doesn't work, you just say 'we should do more'. Giving the poor more money won't solve anything but increase their dependence on the rich.

13 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhat have CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS done that has made them synonymous with racism and against racial equality?
My last question was not clear enough I apologize. I don't care about the fact that some of you have had bad run-ins with racist extremist conservatives on facebook.
What have the POLITICIANS done that is so racist and promote inequality. If you think that the beliefs of the conservative racist extremists that you see on facebook are represented by the Politicians in DC who actually make our laws then you have no business talking about politics.
