I've been in the States now for 20 years .. I still cannot fathom what the point of any of these hearings are ... does anyone ever get prosecuted for wrong doing ? Or is it just charade after charade after charade ... ?

Nobody ever gets prosecuted who should. They just toss some underling in jail if it ever gets that far. But you are on the right track that its charade after charade. They need to pretend they are doing work to make it look like democracy is happening and collect a check. "Are you not entertained?"

And on top of that, I can almost go to the store, buy a jar, get back home or to work, and mix it in hot water before I could get to the order window at the Starbucks locations near me. They always have a line out onto the streets and people pissed of honking at each other. No thanks to all that, but I respect Starbucks for being successful at getting so many people to go stark raving mad for a mediocre cup of coffee.

Bernie is a best selling author... *Let's analyze how a socialist can sell products in an open market for a profit and supposedly make millions of dollars* First off, nobody buys Bernie Sander's books. He gets the government in power to buy up his books using tax payer dollars and then gives his books away for free. Kamala Harris did the same thing with her children's books. *This is called "corporatism" and is completely different than capitalism. In fact, it's totally socialism in every sense of the word. Bernie (and many in the DNC including Hunter Biden) forces hard working tax payers to pay for the garbage they create and you have no say in the matter* Hunter Biden's artwork was bought for $800M for a finger painting he did. You could have bought the most expensive Rembrandt and had money left over. The Mob never went away... they are still organized crime... they just changed their name to the DNC.

We may take some of our advantages for granted, but we have also had the benefit of our gains stolen away through direct and indirect taxation, so we are not seeing the full benefit of technological innovation and productivity. Instead people like Bernie Sanders are trying to set the morality tone by policing businesses for not living up to their fantasy standards of higher wages while destroying the purchasing power of the dollar.

The problem with fighting the left is that they're all angry children who think they're fighting the ultimate battle of good vs. evil, whereas the right generally knows it's fighting upset children. It is hard to be enthusiastic about fighting children, at least before they draw blood.

Rand Paul for President
I just want to add a fact I heard on the radio one day. There was a twenty year period in the late 19th century (I want to say 1880 - 1900 but I could be wrong about the precise period) when the US experienced it's largest GDP growth ever (250%). That twenty year period was presided over by 6 pro-growth, pro-business Republican presidents.

@@jmseipp Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty, by far, than any other system ever tried throughout any time in human history. This is the objective data and truth. This is why people come to America, fleeing other nations and often dying in the process. Capitalism has afforded us to have a MASSIVE social programs including schools, police and fire departments, water and sanitation services, building codes, mail service, rural utility and internet services where it is not economically possible to service such rural areas, an military that protects our nation and people, an the list goes on and on and on. This is only possible because of our foundation that is built on Capitalism. I have lived on 3rd-world nations, in very poor areas of those nations (Peace Corps) and trust me that every single person there wants what we have. Appreciate this great nation for all that it has given you and all the opportunities that surround you. Go out into the world and get after it son!

My Uncle paid union dues all his life. When he retired he elected to receive a higher percentage amount in union pension, this election made it impossible for my Aunt his widow to receive a dime more when he unexpectedly died a few years later at age 68. All the funds paid in for 45 years were not available to her and the numerous pages of fine print in this election unbeknownst to them, after review by an attorney, she would spend a fortune in an attempt to try and recover. She could use the money they paid into the union pension fund....he only collected a short two years. I'm not sure why the union was able to keep all the funds he obviously had in his reserves?

I believe in managed capitalism and Ayn Rand is a hack that fails to acknowledge the weaknesses of capitalism. Often the pursuit of near-term profits can have adverse long-term consequences impacting the quality of life for others. The perfect examples of this are air and water pollution from past and present. Given a chance pure capitalism can be highly destructive to long-term well-being.
