> precisely, we don't have a free market. yeah, and that's why i advocate for one. > what about the 2008 recession was caused by anything other than bankers making insane gambles with out money at the expense of literally everyone else? artifically low interest rates set by the central bank which allowed for cheap credit to fuel bubbles and encourage speculative investments to compensate for the low yields. hayek explains this very well in his his austrian business cycle thessis. > there wouldn't be a "welfare state" if wages increased at all during the last 50 years. i agree, so lets abolish socialism, gut the welfare state, end this left wing lunacy, so wages can actually start rising.  > tell me more about how taxation rates on the rich have increased once over the last 30 years the real tax rate is the size of the federal government budget, whether it's nominal taxation or inflation taxes through money printing... the tax payer is paying for it. the size of the federal government has expanded almost every year since coolidge left office. not a single politician today is capitalist. trump pretends to be but his "jobs act" still places onerous taxes on the wealthy, and his budget was even bigger than obama's.
