Not only taxes.

Also, inflation.

Inflation is good for the super rich.

Inflation actually IS a tax on the less-than super rich.

If you own a Mvnch painted by Edvard, then inflation is a non-issue, and even a boon for you.

Yes, anyone that does not want millions of illegals flooding across the border, high inflation, high energy prices, reliance on advisories for oil, the first and second amendments reversed, a packed court, men in women’s sports, bathrooms and locker room, genital mutilation of children, crappy public education, higher taxes, and books that provide pictorial instructions on how to participate in homosexual sex in grade-schools is clearly drinking the Kool-Aid.  

Most of those problems have been around for a long time and I don't feel either of these two candidates will be able to fix them but always hoping that someone will jump out there and drive them to it.

 oh from California - even more telling.  I liked California but only for touring and weather (Monterey Peninsula and golf!  But could never live there full time - not only due to finances though.

I lived in the SF bay area fifty years and was glad i found a location that is a top of the world in opportunity and wealth!

Yeah, it's really turned to sh*t. I used to feel like kissing the ground when I got off the plane at LAX, now I dread it every time I go back.

Yeah, I just recently saw a news clip that indicates that there are no homes in the SF area under 1 million US dollars - criminal!

Yeah also saw that on the Mexican border every morning are some 600K US workers heading to their jobs in the US - they can't afford homes in Calf or areas near the Calf border.  I lived on 17-mile drive for a while but at the end opposite the golf course.

AMEN to that but even then PB was expensive espeically compared to Pacific Grove, Old Delmonte right around the corner as well as those Military courses at really cheap prices.  Loved it but couldn't afford to love there later.

IIRC there was a bipartisan bill, supported by both Democrats and sensible Republicans, to resolve the border crisis. Trump killed it via his lackeys because he wanted to keep the border issue on the table to hammer the government.

Perhaps you don't remember that, or more likely choose to ignore it.

Everyone remembers it, but the bill "resolved the border crisis" by allowing a 5,000 a day and hiring more judges and border agents to process them in more quickly. 

 

5,000 a day is 1,825,000 illegal aliens a year. There are twelve states with populations smaller than that. That's like letting in a city the size of Philadelphia every year. 

 

Now add to the over a million legal immigrants a year we take each year, and it's like letting in a city the size of Chicago, the third largest city in the US, every year. 

 

Great plan. Tell us about Australian immigration.

Really. Scandinavian countries seem to be doing OK.

Anything else like a highly educated workforce making high value add products that are exported so that really the transferring in of the wealth of other countries supports them? This is not replicable by applying "socialist" principles.

 

Think of a highly profitable company that can afford all kinds of benefits for its employees.

or his grasp of the voting electorate.

I still don't understand US stupid system neither!

Like 80% of all....

 

Direct voting is the only honest way.

But like US taxes, they never go to simple, cheap way.

Too many make lot of money by making everything so complicated.

Great plan. Tell us about Australian immigration. 

 

Russia and China are in a demographic crisis. Immigration grows the population, and the economy. With a declining population, the young workers can't fund the pension system.

 

The Australian population has increased by about three million over the last ten years. That's a increase of 1.25% per year, via natural increase and immigration.

 

The 1,825,000 extra would be an increase of 0.55%, on top of the 1 million already admitted. Natural increase in the US has declined sharply over the past 4 years.

 

There's nothing wrong with controlled immigration, it grows a country. Trump is a chaos agent, he did not want that.

 

Which is just another demonstration of his hypocrisy, as he was employing illegal immigrants.

Funny you should say that. The US military has many features of a socialist organisation.

So, you support open borders, that's what I thought. 

 

And when you said:  "...there was a bipartisan bill, supported by both Democrats and sensible Republicans, to resolve the border crisis. Trump killed it via his lackeys because he wanted to keep the border issue on the table to hammer the government.", you knew that Biden (and the bill) only wanted to keep the border open. 

 

I thought you were going to explain Australian immigration, no?

Not really sure how the US Military comes into a discussion about Scandinavian "Socialism", other than being entirely funded from the wealth creation of others.  (the correct form of funding for many public institutions).

i'd like to know how you metamorphose " controlled immigration " in to "open borders". You must have a brain like a pretzel.

 

I gave you the numbers on Australian Immigration, which are similar to the US. We do have the advantage of being surrounded by water.

 

I can explain it to you. I can't understand it for you.

Is this site owned by a American democrat supporter. Because seems like it.  I joined Thai visa 17 years ago when George started it. That was when it was a forum about Thailand and Asia not America. The crap that comes out about her being eloquent. I hope she gets in . America will be a bigger laughing stock than when bumberling Joe was in.

Why not ask the Thaiger management? They own the site now. Before them it was the Nation News.

 

BTW this thread is in the Political Soapbox.

 

If you don't like the thread then complain to the moderators.

I'm just pointing out the irony of Americans going feral at the mere mention of socialism, when they have a pretty large organisation in their midst.

It is always amusing that when you complain that border is open, the left will call you a liar, and claim it is closed. 

 

Then when you show that the border is open, the left will blame Trump. 

 

Then when you show that it's not Trump's fault that the border is open, the left will start talking about how we need illegal immigrants to save the economy. 

 

So, what they are effectively saying that is that they want open borders and all the problems that come with it, for money. 

 

In any event, ten million illegal aliens in three years, and every one of them committed a crime when they crossed the border. So, ten million new low and no skilled "workers", that are often illiterate in their native tonged, and almost always illiterate in English, and that likely will never assimilate, and many of whom will be on some form of public assistance for life.  

 

They definitionally will:

1. Put downward pressure on wages, which is great for the rich.

2. Put upward pressure on housing costs, which is also great for the rich.

3. Reduce the quality and availability of social services, which the rich do not care about.

4. Increase the size of government, which will benefit many of the rich. 

5. Overburden public schools, disproportionally forcing up the cost while at the same time reducing the quality, which the rich do not care about either. 

6. Dilute American culture, patriotism and civic pride.

 

That's why Biden, Harris and the left all support open borders.
