8-Bit Scholar posted:Military spending is atrocious, I agree; but how do you protect labor while also "properly" tax corporations? Are you asking for higher or lower corporate taxes? Bear in mind, corporations claim that they go elsewhere and create jobs in other places because they offer better tax rates than the U.S. does; I'd say it's also because they aren't obligated to follow U.S. labor laws there. What could possibly entice them to return, knowing they'd have to pay more money to do so? oh, word?

8-Bit Scholar posted:My initial goal was to make the case that hyperbolic criticism of Trump and the dehumanization of his supporters weakened any message opposing him. It seems to me, and still so, that a lot of those who oppose Trump's policies oppose them for superficial reasons or else fail to understand why he got the support he did and was elected at all. It was my hope to suggest that by finding common solutions that could unify people, you might be able to put your political passions towards a meaningful change of course after Trump is out of the White House. feel free to explain to us what's amazing about tax cuts for billionaires and cutting medicaid

8-Bit Scholar posted:So then, raising corporate taxes would successfully entice them to remain in country, despite the fact that even with this relatively low corporate tax rate you still see outsourcing going on at increasing volumes? maybe the corporate tax rate on profits has gently caress-all to do with 'out-sourcing' and is rather an inevitable outcome of economic globalization where there are no controls on capital.

evilweasel posted:its not some natural function of globalization that there are no controls on capital. we just need to stop recognizing tax havens and agree with other developed nations on an effective capital control regime. if someone claims to be controlled by an offshore company in barbados, i guess that they're now the property of the state! i know, which is why lack of capital controls was a qualifier.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Argue all you want that Trump somehow won on the backs of an apparently massive amount of white supremacy; that didn't work this past election, but I guess if you keep insisting people you disagree with are Nazi sympathizers, the I dunno what to tell you. I can't really understand what possible definition of racist you're using here; if you are saying that any policy short of open borders is racist, then there's no possible middle ground to be made. If you're saying it is racist to deport people who are living in this country as undocumented immigrants, then I also think that's also a hard position to meet with. why were 'whiteness' and racial resentment one of the strongest indicators of support for donald trump?

QuarkJets posted:These arguments mirror those made by anti-abolitionists in the 19th century: that abolishing slavery would be unfair to the already-freed slaves who had to work tirelessly to escape their former conditions. it even undercuts the 'they have to get in the back of the line' argument you often hear. recognizing the disparity in costs for legal immigration makes it simply impossible for the kind of people that are literally jumping the border. the bottom line is that there is no line, the vast majority of illegal immigrants have no legal path to citizenship, period.

BlackIronHeart posted:I just turned 35 and I'm technically a Millenial according to some. I was 18 when 9/11 happened and I got to watch family members and friends from high school get shipped off to Afghanistan and Iraq. I will never vote for a Republican for as long as I live. I was a month into my first semester at college when the stock market crashed in 2008, and I feel the same way. I’m 27, almost 28. I didn’t follow 2000, but my memory of 9/11 is clear as hell. 2004 was the first election I was fully aware of from start to finish.

Edmund Lava posted:Not really. This is the group which would have just gained political consciousness when the Berlin Wall fell. As someone in that gap I feel it’s significant. It definitely shouldn’t be arbitrary but there’s something to be said for coming to age at a certain point in history and what you experience and how all of that shapes you. I think it was the nytimes, but I’m not totally sure - there was a cool chart that shows how people’s political attitudes were shaped during their 20s and remains fairly sticky throughout their lives.
