I think you could balance free enterprise with a limited welfare state that didn’t incentivize dependence

I would like if people just helped each other out, but they often don't

See early history of US. Totally incorrect.

Corporations should be forced to act in the common good because they accumulate capital with the help of state power

Mutual aid societies were abundant.

See current state of affairs

Government killed them off ^

And people are demonstrably less charitable in multi ethnic societies.

Why do you think people import H1Bs?

White America was very charitable.

it’s sort of a paradox because social welfare is most sustainable in high-trust societies, but also less necessary

Because regulations and public school have made many Americans into skillless morons.

I live in Maine and voted for all the stuff I'd typically vote no on, because we're such a white state. The social stuff.

I voted on saltine crackers and gummy snacks for all

@Alex Kolchak - NY agreed.

Make gummy saltine sandwich

@Alexander Pechorin blatantly untrue, there are more college grads now than ever

That proves the point.

college degree =/= intelligence

College is not teaching the vast majority of grads skills.

And avg. debt is 40k.

@Alex Kolchak - NY nah dude it correlates pretty strongly

It is hamstringing people, not helping.

You're saying that a person who graduates with a STEM degree is less skilled than an Indian?

See: regulations. White Americans are less competitive. It’s not just education.

Less competitive because outsiders are driving down the cost of labor

Intelligence =/= knowledge

Because they pay less taxes..

And are subject to less employment regulations.

Your mixed economy is making whites less competitive.

No, because their families live in 3rd world countries

They come here, make bank living wi tbh 7 other guys, and then go home

Even Mexicans here with their families here have less trouble. They all live together and can afford lower wages.

So the only way to make it in America is live in poverty with your whole family and cousins?

If feet are cold in building that is cold with outside that is cold what do with feet?

Unfortunately now given the state of the government boondoggled healthcare and taxes we pay, yes.

I see my employees bills.

It’s disgusting what they have to pay.

To the state.

So I pay them more. Then they have to give even more. And for what benefits?

If you don't think that in a system of unfettered Capitalism, the people willing to do anything to make a buck won't rise to the top, you're sorely mistaken
