That's why most of an average American's work goes to the top .01% who get a free ride on the backs of the American people, mostly in part because of the Republican party. The Republican party has almost always been about serving the rich. The problem today is that both parties serve the rich.

What you're proposing is done succesfully in just one country - China. Everywhere else where it has been tried it has failed. Certainly, long-term thinking is painfully absent from most economic policymakers around the world, and it's easily disregarded in the fleeting world of politics. But it's also true that the best economic policy is adaptation, and usually the countries that can change direction the fastest are also the most successful.

Michael: Two things. The first is that it's a totalitarian government that calls itself socialist, but has actually fostered neoliberalism among its population. Basically, the Party in China owns *everything* and is accountable to no one, but despite these aspects (which usually deter any kind of foreign or domestic investment) they've managed to court overseas companies as well as develop a very robust and entrepreneurial middle class. The second thing is that Deng Xiaoping, the father of the current Chinese prosperity, was very careful in completely taking over the Communist Party and leaving well-educated disciples behind. Thanks to China being such a huge nation, and the timely removal of the Maos, it can't be Cuba anymore in terms of being ruled by a single family. This means that there is ample scope for ambitious and capable officials to climb through the ranks, instead of the usual apparatchiks and relatives that we see in other left-wing dictatorships.

But Singapore is interesting - as you say, it's quite similar to China in some respects, despite being on the completely opposite side of the left-right divide (in theory). I think they could be the other exception to the rule.

How do you make a video with a title that focuses on the "No new taxes" promise without every mentioning Grover Norquist and the pledge that Republicans must sign about not raising taxes - ever? So this isn't really a video about Bush's promise at all - it's more about a shift in the Republican party to the right - which is fine. But if that's the theme of the video, then how do you completely ignore the growth of right-wing media which have promoted extreme right-wing conservative ideologies as "normal" and which enable such extremism to be more "acceptable"? I recommend that you watch and take notes on the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad" which outlines historical points about this influence. In the end, Bush's promise of "no new taxes" has almost nothing at all to do with this extreme pull to the right compared to other influences that have grown stronger over time.

Partisanship is awful. I don't know much about Bush Sr., but his decision to vote for Clinton over Trump shows that he doesn't feel completely obligated to side with his party on every issue. And he was willing to work with the other party to get things done. He seems to have tried to do what he thought he should do, rather than blindly follow what his party wanted. If more politicians were like that we wouldn't be in this mess. Just...Jesus Christ, what happened to the Republican Party? Bush Sr.'s wing of the party sounded alright, at least.

The budget will never be balanced again because they like the idea of a balanced budget but they don't like the steps needed to make it happen. Funnily enough the budget was well on it's way to be balanced when Obama was President and it may have actually happened if they didn't lose the Senate in 2014 or the house in 2010. It also doesn't help that the only time people talk about balanced budgets is when a Democrat is in the white house and no one seems to know the difference between the debt and the deficit.

Wouldn't get anything done but would at least help shift the overton window left again. (Although just talking about Republicans is being charitable. The Clinton wing of the Democrats would be hard at work trying to kill his candidacy too) And before the inevitable comments about Bernie Sanders show up: Bernie Sanders is not a communist, not even close. He might be a socialist privately, but his policies are very much in line with the social democrats you see in European center-left parties. Socialism is not when the government does stuff, and it's not when the government owns stuff.

Unless we change our election system, getting a third party in is hard if not impossible. CGP Grey does a good series of videos on this. Something like "Politics in the Animal Kingdom" or something, I forget. He talks about different ways you can do elections, almost all of which sound a lot better than the system we have right now :/ But unless we do this, our current system incentives strategic voting, i.e. voting for the biggest party that you hate less than the other biggest party. In this case, the two big parties are Democrats and Republicans. If you vote for a smaller party that aligns more closely with your views, you are taking away from the big party that you hate the least and making it easier for the party you hate more to win. This has actually happened multiple times in the past, most infamously before the civil war, when the southern states split their vote so hard that Abraham Lincoln got a plurality and became president despite getting like...I think it was less than a third of the vote? Or some ridiculously small percentage. I mean yes it's a good thing that he won, but it doesn't make how he won any less hilarious. But that's what happens in the First Past the Post voting system, the one we have right now, and it's called the spoiler effect. This is why having a third party in the US is so hard, and is why we basically just have Democrats and Republicans. For parties like the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, or some other party to have a shot, there needs to be less of an incentive to vote strategically. If we had the alternative vote, we could just mark down the order in which we'd prefer the candidates on the list. Then if our favorite candidate didn't get the votes, those votes would be transferred to our second favorite candidate, and so on. For example, Al Gore lost to George W. Bush because the vote split between Al Gore and Ralph Nader, and the Electoral College decided that Al Gore winning the popular vote didn't matter (What's with Democrats splitting the vote and then losing the election despite getting the popular vote? It's weird man). With the alternative vote, most of the Ralph Nader voters would have then be counted as Al Gore voters (since Nader had the least votes, and most of his voters probably would have put Gore second), leading Gore to win the Presidency. Sure Nader still wouldn't win, but at least Bush didn't either. So now there's less of a need to worry about strategic voting, since you're not making it easier for the party you hate to win anymore. So now you're free to try out as many third parties as you wish, knowing that you'll have the big party you hate less as a last resort if none of the candidates you like end up making it. And who knows? Maybe more people want that third party you voted for than you think. They just don't pick them because they're too afraid that the party they hate more is going to win. Under this voting system, they can just directly vote for the party without consequences. And since third parties have more of a shot at winning, more people will consider them a good investment and start funding them. This will make it easier to find quality candidates, which will in turn make them stronger, which will lead to better funding and so on. So now we finally have viable third parties. Woo! TL;DR change the voting system first, then the third parties will come.

omi god I don't think the idea is that direct. What theyre saying is that tax cuts put more money into the hands of business, who then use that money to invest in expanding their business, or expanding other businesses. Because as you know, a bigger business means more money. From that expansion, the need for labor goes up, which means more employment. Using your example, the guy wouldn't hire another gardener with his tax cuts, he will buy more land for a bigger garden, which would require 2 gardeners to maintain instead of 1. I haven't read on any of this but I think that's the general idea behind it. Increase investment capital, to expand business, to boost employment. That's why they say it sounds good on paper.
