Government cannot make us equal; it can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law.

Really! In the past 23 years, what has Bernie actually done for anyone anywhere? Who has Bernie lifted from poverty? From all reports, much like his comrade, Elizabeth Warren, the only one who’s economic situation greatly improved from Bernie’s actions is his own and that of his immediate family. Though admittedly, it’s only a quarter of Warren’s nest-egg.
It’s a funny thing how every single time a politician pushes for socialism they seem to be the ones getting rich off of it.

This is actually one of the best and best worded definitions for Climate Change as a cause and/or movement that I’ve come across. It so aptly describes AGW as it’s been presented and all the “countermeasures” that have been implemented and/or proposed.

Truly! Wouldn’t it be great for America and the American People if all the Socialists inside the borders of our country left and went to live in Socialist countries where, in theory, they’d be happier? And, would it be even greater for us if they took all the sorts that they use as an excuse for Socialism with away from America them?
I, for one, think so. But, sadly, most of them won’t leave by their own choice. If want that return to greatness and unity for America, we’re going to have to make their emigrating the best and only tenable pathway for them.

Not only is Capitalism the economic form that sustains the world, but there’s two big reasons, truly powerful reasons, that I will always choose it over any other form of economy when at scale larger than a small, tight-knit, homogeneous community.
Bodacious Boobs Of The Free World
Because it’s true; you just don’t get very many bodacious boobs in non-Capitalist countries, most of whom have huge and persistent food production and distribution issues which result in starvation and stunted growth – and flatter, smaller boobs.

It’s a hard truth that most won’t conscious accept and all the Socialist sorts will violently deny that it is the work that is worth the wage, not the worker. No worker has any intrinsic value, on their work does. And, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Leftists, this is true for exactly 100% of us, irrespective of what sort of labor we perform or for whom.
And yes, that sucks! Then, more often than not, the objective truth sucks for somebody because they’re on the down side of it.
It’s truly simple. It’s the work you do – the product you produce or the service you provide – that has value to the consumer and, hence to the business, be it your employer or your own business. You, yourself are worthless in this equation; you have no value. You are replaceable, either by another worker or, as is more and more common, by an automated process.
But remember, as I said, this applies to all of us. This is totally equal and egalitarian, spanning both genders, all races, and all social classes.
If what you do and the amount of it you do isn’t worth both your wage and your amortized share of materials costs and overhead, you won’t be likely to have a wage anymore. And, by “wage” I do mean your total compensation package, every single dime that an employer has to spend upon you. Your employer – or you, if you own your own business – has to be able to sell the fruits of your labor for enough more than the fully-weighted cost of producing or providing it to make it worth doing so in the first place. Or the business will fail and you will have no wage.
Honestly, this is Economics 101R, but it seems to need to be taught again, and again, and again, because way too many people have serious and deep-seated illusions of worth.
But, and this is both a big and important but, a worker’s work may have more value than the employer either knows or is willing to admit in the absence of force. The effects upon both prices and profits at McDonald’s indicates that some employers can bear to pay more for the work their employees provide.
So, the correct way of thinking is what ones work is actually worth, not pretending that one as a worker has intrinsic worth in a business context.
