It's not capitalisms fault. It's socialism's. Literally remove social security and Medicaid and the kids will finally have financial breathing room to start families. 

Capitalism brings the goods, socialism takes it away.

Literally what the fuck are you talking about.

Socialist policies make up over half of US spending and taxes. Social security will become insolvent in less than 10 years and already isn't enough to pay for someone's retirement.

Quick question, what generation are you? I’m actually curious. Also like, where do you get your opinions from, what country do you live in, etc.

1999, Iowa, USA. I grew up Democrat but now I'm Independent because of the blatant corruption and lies.

I mean fair enough, totally fair to blame the democrats and neoliberalism in general for selling out the working class, I’m just surprised we’re the same age with the same problems and that somehow pushed you further right while I got shoved left

I just can’t fathom someone my age believing in trickle down economics in the year of our lord 2025, I really thought that was a boomer thing

Does the word kleptocracy mean anything to you?

I can break it down, but don't know the modern interpretations. Theft politics. 

And I don't believe in trickle economics. Just economics. My preferred source being Thomas Sowell. His best book, in my mind, is Wealth, Poverty and Politics where the general understanding is to not trust politicians because ordinary people know their business better than bureaucrats even 100 miles away. 

If a business can't survive without handouts, sucks to suck, but they don't get any money from me for failing at business.
