Your absolutely correct, but you need to explain WHY the government is bankrupt, starting with unfunded liabilities. As the majority of young liberal arts educated posters here just don't have a clue about how economics actually works, and how years and years of quid pro quo pay to play deals eventually drains all the money out of the host.

I say, have 'em come and live in Detroit, Brush Park would be a fine address, after six months they will completely understand how we have legalized bribery and sanitized it.... And how we are quite literally killing the goose that lays the golden eggs...

Where, pray tell, do you think the money for this "free education, healthcare, roads, police, and judicial services" actually comes from?

One wonders if Obama is so petty that he is working doubly hard to make sure Shrillary looses. It sure seems that way. I think she would make a horrible President. Obama lies really well, Hillary not so much...

You've never actually tried to setup a corporation in another country, have you? How about one in the U.S.? It's not free by any means. Your whole premise about how one can setup this big shell game is hopelessly naive.

I know, I am a small business owner. Also known as a "job creator", and of course "the evil rich".

The idea that I should pay a tax on income, and then pay a tax when I invest that income, and then pay a tax when the investment earns income... Where do you get such foolish notions? If nobody invests, there is zero economic growth, zero. What you're idea results in is the old Soviet Union, where a very small group is fabulously wealthy and everyone else is a peasant.

The keyword is that this money is going to be used for "Infrastructure Projects" which is the same nonsense used to promote the "Stimulus" which at the end of the day was just a big giant payoff to all the Democratic Party constituencies.

The REAL story is this:

Faced with a fundraising shortfall going into 2016, the Democrats cooked up a grand scheme where they could take money away from evil corporations, thus pleasing the far left Marxist leaning base, funnel the money to loyal Union bosses, and make up for the shortfall.

This is how both parties actually work. The ideology and populist messaging is all complete nonsense, made to appeal to people's emotions so they don't do any actual rational thinking....

I thought Steve Jobs greatest vision was outsourcing as much as possible and building child slave labor camps to build the products. He's a real "progressive" that one.

Could it be the child labor camps they built in China to build the products? You know, the ones with workers as young as 14 years old, surrounded by high fences to keep the workers in, with some of the highest suicide rates of workers in China?

Could it be the rush to offshore, sending as many jobs into cheap labor markets as possible?

What you say? A San Francisco darling leftist does all those things in the name of profit? It's absolutely true.

Well that explains the corn shortages in South and Central America, where corn meal, or masa, became horribly expensive. About a month after the Ethanol mandates kicked in.

Do you live in the Midwest? Ever talked to an actual corn farmer? I doubt it.

Then why does my 2013 Flex Fuel Ethanol Optimized vehicle get such horrible mileage on E85?

Doing simple math "Cost of fuel per mile" E85 is a really stupid product to buy - before and after the subsidies. It's not a small price differential, it's a huge one.

And despite this, we will all be reading on comment boards for ever that those horrible oil company profits are why they need to be punished...

But we will hear no outrage at all about Apple's profits.

Why?

Because Apple is the darling of left (Amazing, given their factories in China)... Whereas the oil companies, why they give money to Rethugnicans, so they are evil beyond evil... So the next "progressive" that tells you how awesome APPLE is be sure and remind them that this means they love outsourcing, believe children should be exploited as slave labor, and that profit is absolutely grand.....

So how many churches and governments have slave labor factories in China, where the suicide rate is alarming, the working conditions deplorable, and children as young as 14 are working 12-14 hour days with hardly any breaks?

Other than the Chinese of course...

Mod up 1000.

Of course the big take away here is we don't really need or want nanny government making these decisions at all, let individuals decide if they want to stay home or not, let businesses decide if they are closed or not, run the damn subway if there are enough people....

And let's force the press to report on the "End of Winter" stories that were all the rage ten years ago.

Anyone who gets in to this business... and doesn't salivate at learning something new constantly... picked the wrong career.

I've been coding since 1979, making me super/super ancient fossil, but I still love learning new things. I have bitter angry friends who refuse to learn new stuff, so I know where you are coming from. But don't lump all us old farts in the trash bin, because BIG SURPRISE you're going to be one of us far sooner than you realize.

Being able to "feel" would kill off the prostitution business in a second, wouldn't it?

he he he

Mod up 1000. A rational voice in a click bait article designed entirely to bring out the frenetic climate cut and paste diatribe crowd which I read as "You suck! You suck More! You're and idiot! You're too stupid to live" crap.
