@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

See robber barons

Obamacare is a horrible system, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have state healthcare

I've always thought the state ought to provide value in order to earn its funding. Taxes being taken at the proverbial point of a gun don't sit right with me. I'd like to see the state compete economically somehow and earn its pay.

The “Robber Barons” used government pull to regulate outsiders.

The only railroad that didn’t go bankrupt was James Hill, who took no government money.

The fact is, poor people will end up with bills they can't pay, while the business elite gets rich while taking advantage of state help

And H1B1 visas are state sanctioned indentured servitude. They are more competitive because the company owns their right to work in the country. If they leave the company, they get kicked out. So they have to work for less money.

should be able to vote on your tax allocations

How did they get to the point of vast enough wealth to influence one of the most powerful nations in the world in the first place, of not by slitting throats?

Hahahah this is hilarious. https://youtu.be/pZk6ia1vFAc

I didn’t slit any throats 😉

And you're not rich

Corporations will generally do whatever maximizes their profits and minimizes expenses, even if that is harmful to the public. I would not trust big business to be totally deregulated.

They also build that capital using the power of the state

Which is why they should be forced to give something back

That's why they hire illegals for $3/h to work the farms

Lobbying has stupid high ROI

How much should they “give back?” What did they “take” to begin with?

My company pays millions in taxes every year as it is.

We hav a 500k bill coming up in December just because of the inventory we have on shelf.
