    wrong of course. capitalists only survive by serving the populace by delivering to them their always increasing standard of living. Do you understand?

    Your comments have become increasingly ludicrous. That is based on 2 factors. First, ignorance of political economy (as illustrated by your failure to understand post-Hayekian market socialism). Second, a right wing political stance based around the authoritarian personality.

    first, you state there is 97% employment, which if that's from vital statistics, would mean 97% of employable persons, the labor dept specifically discounts those people that stopped looking for employment, so that stat is skewed...

    second, you changed it to 97% of the human race is out of work because of farm tractors, if 97% of the human race is out of work then there'd only be 3% employment...

    third, you've not a clue about blaster3...

    what was that you said about 'thinking'???

    "market socialism" does that mean non free market socialism in which case you can call it socialism as Marx did.

    right wing in America is about free market; opposite of a authoritarian personality running govt. 1+1=2 . You are trying to make old world definitions useful in America. 1+1=2

    Who cares if its 97% or 93% after 100 years of increasing automation. Point is automation makes work easier, more profitable and more accessible so is worshiped by intelligent Republicans and hated by libcommies who try to use it as yet another excuse for more welfare statism

    97% were put out of farm work by farm tractor automation and put into other work which is why despite far tractors and 1000's of other automations employment is still 97%. Isn't learning fun?

    because there was 'other' work available, at the rate of automation this won't be so in another decade or two, then those workers put out by automation will be forced on gap (that's government assistance programs) which i'm against, welfare & foodstamps (wic) should be for a limited time, maybe 3-5 months max, but only if they prove that are looking for employment (similar to how un-employment ins used to be, but no longer is)... i see first hand (living in the nyc area) how these leeches manipulate the system and stay on it for a lifetime, teaching their young how to follow in their footsteps, never working a minute,yet have $1000 phones and designer clothing, & new cars all thanks to those in 'leadership' (used loosely)...

    anywho, judging someone from a post is a fools game, name-calling is a moron's game...

    rate has slowed down. Nothing can top electricity, farm tractors, lights, washing machines, cars, radios, phones etc etc. for displacing billions of workers. Do you understand?

    automation has created jobs not destroyed them which is why after 100's of years of automation we still have 97% employment

    so you will let them starve in the streets after automation has taken their jobs and not replaced them?

    please speak in terms of today, when the population is growing at an alarming rate & automation is limiting the unskilled labor force, and don't go with the standard "they should get an education/degree" bs, because if they did, they'd be competing with everyone else for a handful of positions (who will pay for that education?) AND then those skilled trades would become the new 'minimum wage' jobs in a market flush with employees and no positions, leading us back to gap... get it?

    There's nothing free market about right wing America. It is characterised by corruption, inefficient inequalities and market concentration. This is allowed by the authoritarian personality. Conservatism encourages a simple world view, based on binary black and white. It ensures that they are fodder for political manipulation, given the authoritarian personality also cries out for leadership. Trump, for example, is clearly a cretin. However, he's a leader and that's all that is needed. Conservatives would throw themselves off a cliff if Trump deemed it to be a good way to fight a Chinese boogieman.

    in America liberals like to be led by a powerful libcommie govt while conservatives/libertarians/Founders like to be free of powerful authoritarian libcommie govt. Lean your vocabulary and then back for your first lesson.

    Wrong again. There is no link between the authoritarian personality and liberalism. This has been psychologically tested countless times.

    a pro business cretin with 4.2 % GDP and 97% employment after cool dude metrosexual Barry compiled worst economic record in American History with not one year of 3% GDP. Like walking into a swinging door isn't it?

    Crikey, right wing economics says the President can't do anything but marginally impact on expectations. Don't you be worrying, the nationalists say otherwise! Reinvention via Fox News?
