That may be the idea, but it doesn't work. It hasn't worked. It creates massive rifts in the economy and focuses everything at the top, where people jealously horde their wealth. And please don't fall into the trap of thinking that there is only pure capitalism or pure socialism; a hybrid system that takes the best from both is the best answer for everybody.

Hey, famousone...you're not wrong! There are a lot of shitty things in military life, and the housing situation is a travesty, but you're assigning fault to government for the simple fact that they are the government. Americans have a solid individualism streak, but that means we are dog shit at rallying together as a majority to do something. We need to take care of our vets and service members, but we can't do that until the country as a whole pressures our duly elected officials to do so.

No, trickle down is designed to put all the money at the power at the top with the idea that those with the money and power know best how to use it. In reality, a rich person would rather buy another house than pay their employees more. Theres a reason George Bush Sr called it "voodoo economics."

Your comments are always so...fascinating.

No, you're mostly right. People just like to make up silly acronyms for things.

Trump cares very deeply about what people think about him and has extremely thin skin, but he's such a vapid narcissist that he'll figure out some way to spin this as an "everybody loves me" type of thing.

Watchmen, the HBO show. It's phenomenal. Edit: there's also the graphic novel and the movie, of course.

Yeah, but Gen Xers didn't birth or raise millennials, unless you're talking about the oldest Gen Xers and the youngest millennial.

If somebody interrupts me or tries to talk over me, then they have zero respect for me or what I'm trying to say, so I will show them the same level of respect.
