    I blame the idiots that think prosperity we enjoy here in the USA is some sort of unlimited resource and that we can just print money when we run out.

    Go ahead, print more money. Hope you’ve already bought your wheelbarrow.

      Yes, because naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

      We don’t need to print more money, we have more than enough money. We just need to recirculate the money we do have. There is plenty of money in the USA for most citizens to live a comfortable life without exploitation, but 80% of that money is buried in the pockets of corporations and 15% of the remaining 20% is buried in the pockets of billionaires.

        There literally isn’t. Whine about the percentages all you want. You still have a higher standard of living than literally anywhere else in the world.

        Capitalism did that. It’s not perfect but it’s better than anything else.

          Right, so Finland, France, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Korea, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy all don’t exist. Got it.

            Just because you don’t know about them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
