LOL!
I'd vote for almost any poster on this board over Hillary. SJG might have even won over Hillary. At least SGJ didn't say he'd like to do away with our second amendment rights and allow open borders to South America letting drug cartels and anyone into the country. Of course nowadays when you read news stories, you don't always know if it's fake news or real news. I did wonder if there was a secret conspiracy by the far left to do away with our gun rights by staging mass shootings and blame it on deranged individuals. I have noticed there have been none in the news since the people in charge changed. I do not trust our government to always do what is right.
It is a movie where a group of over young lazy over-educated socialist world government liberal turds lie to and "befriend" a "conservative" who is portrayed as a male working class white supremacist racist then invites him to a dinner party with his new "friends" where they poison him and make fun of him while he dies all the while declaring their superiority and their obligation to rid the world of all people who dare to have a different view from theirs. This "wonderful movie" was made in the nineties by some of the same stars who are now calling for the torture and murder of anyone who disagrees with their elitist world view!
The Elites have always wanted to silence and murder any disagreement with the course of feudalism they wish the country to proceed with them in absolute power. They have just now made it public knowledge. They have a gall to brand a conservatives as NAZIs, where do you see ANY conservative of libertarian spewing hatred and calling for murder of anyone who disagrees with their philosophy.
Funny thing NAZI stand for national SOCIALIST! There was not capitalism in NAZI Germany ALL business was owned my the government of government cronies.
I make no secret of my views but I have never and never advocate murder of a different view.
I will however ask for prosecution of politician who steal and demand the rule be the same for everyone. I po's me that congress and many bureaucrats are exempt from insider trading laws and obamacare and many other laws. Congress is exempt from discrimination laws, OSHA, minimum wage to name a few. Why?? Why do they get a full pension payment after "serving" no matter their age when I have to be 67 to get any pension benefit that I have paid for from my wages??
DUH!!
President Trump is trying to return us to those original principles. I don't care if he is 400 pounds or if some pearl clutchers find him rude. As long as he opposes the self-proclaimed elite, I'll stick with him.
Now that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Yep, Trump is really "for the people" against "the elites".
Muggles!
I deal with such persons in local politics continually.

Half the population relies on government support and the other half works to pay for it.
Obama stood for the first half, Trump stands for the second half.

Trump can get pumped up and in shape. Then maybe he can pump up jobs and the economy. It might be easier to hire me and give me a sign on bonus and a team to quickly study health care and come up with a plan. Obviously much harder to come up with a plan to get the people to call and bug their respective congressmen to support it. We will need buy in from the people and then congress will buy in. It's what Ronald Reagan did. I see tax cuts and health care premiums as the same thing, cost benefit analysis help for the masses to boost the economy.

Apparently YouTube likes suggesting weird stuff for me.
Second, industrial capitalism will never be able to create enough jobs. We are doing irrevocable and needless environmental damage just by maintaining as many jobs as we now have. We use jobs to regulate the population.
So we do need to expand and maintain some sort of a welfare state. There is no other choice. But just as it is with jobs, welfare as it is now, exists to regulate the poor, not to provide for the needs of the poor.

Yes, but you are asking for a kind of limited government which guarantees that an increasing portion of the population will live in dire conditions and be exploited. That is unfair, immoral, and beyond a point people cannot be duped into voting for it, or into supporting it even if people do vote for it.

With unemployment under Trump at 4.2%, I think it's a little premature to plan for a world without jobs.
Our society will be better when we have less such jobs, and stop making it a matter of public policy just to create jobs to enforce the work ethic.
Now some of the money these people are paid is then collected in taxes, and then it recirculates.
But this does not mean that this is the only way for the government to get cash flow.
The offical unemployment rate greatly underestimates our employment situation. And then the underempoyment rate has got to be at least 60%.

By the same token these Trump hardcore supporters are almost humorless they don't realize who is laughing at them, not with them, Donald Trump himself.
Don't believe me check out Donald's buddies over the years, people like Howard Stern, his former partners in Atlantic City, the former employees of the failed Trump University, listen to what they are saying and get the real picture there is a lot out there and most of it is not positive towards him.
The issue here is doing all of this so that it finally works for everybody, instead of saying that some people are good and some people are bad, and believing that this will work.
And I largely agree with @twentyfive.
