Socialism doesn't work...

My preference would be for the government to stop spending money like the debt and deficit don't matter.

Since neither party seems to think that's a good idea, more tax revenue has to come in. It makes more sense to get that revenue from a smaller percentage hike on multi-millionaires than a large percentage hike on people living paycheck to paycheck.

Not exactly a radical proposal. Like I said, it doesn't dissuade people from getting rich and the lifestyle impact to them is minimal or nonexistent.

Giving a fiscally irresponsible body more money isn't a solution. It's throwing gas on a fire.
 
I can be nice occasionally.

Move to the South, you will be much happier. We are actually segregated down here. I deal with social services so I see the demos here and can assure you it’s pretty equal in terms of trash and the like in regards to race. Some people preach family and unity while others seek to make excuses. We should do all we can to help the less fortunate, but the government can only do so much given our litigation type society.

Read into what the North Charleston community did in SC. Went from one of the most deadly cities in America to what could be considered a booming economy in a decade. They also use/ go through as many tazer cartridges as NYC and LA (stats from around 5 years ago).

Do you know who accomplished the above? It sure as hell wasnt the government, it was the community saying enough is enough.

EDIT to DESEGREGATED unlike the West Coast and North East

I agree with that; however, both the Democrats and Republicans run up the debt like drunken sailors.

When George W. Bush was President the Democrats raved over the debt. When Obama was President the Repbulicans raved over the debt. Now Trump is President and the Democrats are concerned over the debt.

Duh

Thanks, but no thanks. I love living in the Bay Area.
 
Haha nope, just like where I live. You sound like you live in a fascinating little bubble though. Winking

Literally makes no sense. You live a world where white privilege is somehow holding blacks back (even though we have billionaires who are black) and I live in world where I see blacks and white working hand in hand to better their community.

One is delusional the other is not, and it’s clear which one you think is wrong lol

Lmfao, who sounds rustled now? I somehow clearly struck a nerve with you seeing as you’re the one who quoted me initially. Let the Bay stay rent free in your head, little guy.

It really must be terrible to live with so much hate in your heart. All I tried to do was show you another way and in typical fashion like all weak minded people you ignore any evidence that doesn’t support your hateful rhetoric. I do wish the best of luck, it sounds like you may need it.

I live in the South. Have so for 39 years. My observations do not align with yours. Either way, though, it's anecdotal, as is the basic-becky idea that the existence of black billionaires means there is no white privilege or other obstacles for black people.

It's also a bit odd that you would tout our segregation as an incentive for anyone to come here, yet then talk about how we work hand-in-hand.

While I do not discount your experience, your logic leaves much to be desired.

Meant not segregated unlike everywhere on the west coast and northeast, That’s what I get for not proof reading. And yes I do believe using a city like North Charleston as more than anecdotal evidence. Literally one of the most dangerous cities in America and now has a solid economy. It was all done by a majorIty of blacks in the community. How is this possible if the so called white man and his privilege won’t allow it? Bc remember you white privilege is systematic and orchestrated so how is it possible?

For starters, I wouldn't say it's orchestrated, as much of it is subconscious. Privilege isn't a conscious thing foisted upon black people by some evil white man. It's the product of centuries. Secondly, exceptions don't negate the rule. It hints at a very poor understanding of it to suggest otherwise. Finally, you say it's a majority black town and that they have turned it around? Well, if they are empowered there, it's a pretty good indication that their efforts are less susceptible to white supremacy. That seems like a no-brainer.

Yep, identity politics you live by are a plague to our country.
Such a misused phrase. Like "agenda." Everyone has an agenda based on their identity to some extent, so we all play identity politics, too. Conservatives use those terms to indicate a non-white person or a cause unrelated to white people. It's those things that are non-white that get those labels, reinforcing the idea that white makes right.

I am an individual, and race should have no part in today’s societal agenda. My agenda is to make sure every American has a place they can call home and be able to provide for their family. Also Your statement assumes no white people are conservatives as well which is laughable.

Sure, that’s your “agenda”, that’s why you tried to be so subtle at first with your faux pitch to me on how “great” your city is. Lol, what a crock of shit, you’re too transparent. Quit while you’re behind.

Lol typical liberal, accuse someone of racism when you disagree with them. So much hate in you. I hope one day you find peace.

Well you offered nothing of substance to respond too bc what you said was false. I responded to your initial post about race so it was clearly the topic. Again typical liberal, ignoring logic bc of your feelings.
You responded to my initial post preaching about how I should move to your farty city, I said thanks but no thanks, then you began to get irate and started posting diatribes of non-sense. Keep the buzzwords flowing, it’s really helping your case.

“I responded to your initial post about race”

No you responded to an arbitrary post I made to Hail, suggesting I can be nice occasionally.

Next time try not to be so dense, if that’s at all possible. It probably isn’t, but oh well. Stay rustled, little buddy.

Which was about race was it not? Again your feelings are getting in the way of logic.

You quoted an arbitrary post that was irrelevant to race. Your tard levels are peaking.

And your being intellectually dishonest bc your comment to him was about the topic and instead of going back and quoting one of your other post I chose your last response. It’s a logical move, and the fact you choose to harp on that shows how wrong you are.

If that’s the case, why didn’t you quote a post of mine that was relevant to which you’d convey your butthole speech? Laughing
