@gamefreak1000000 LOL I only drink kool-aid I mix my self. I have no problem with capitalism as long as it is fair, I'm an entrepreneur myself. There were no issues back then, as long as you were a white male slave owner and not a widowed woman with children it's easy to be successful when your employes work for free.Take a look at the debt to GDP ratio for the US it started to sky rocket around 1980 when Regan became president he lowered taxes on big business .

@umacarrot It's because we started moving away from capitalism and moved closer to socialism. Everyone wanted things for free. After all of our great achievements, we started neglecting the system even more. Now, I won't get into the new world order topic since that will get us off topic. However, it started dwindling after a certain individual (Marxist billionaire) came into this country after manipulating the bank of England.
Don't you think this sudden socialist shift is destroying us?

@umacarrot Well I'd rather not waste his time if you're another one of those left wing kool-aid drinkers. So since you like facts soo much, then we'll discuss them. Ever since America was first established and colonized, we've always had a capitalist economic system, no? There were no issues back then because everyone was independent and the dependent were taken care of by their family.So why is it that after 1990, the economy started dwindling by our own government?

@gamefreak1000000 If he wants to start a debate on YouTube I'm good , perhaps he could take my points one at a time and show me why I'm wrong. believe it or not I am open minded , if I am wrong I will admit it.
@umacarrot
No. It is not being a Republican that gives him status, it is the Republicans' subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) emphasis on his "whiteness" that gives him status. While Democrats emphasize economic disparities, which remind him of his inferior status, Republicans work hard to keep him focused on racial differences, which reminds poor and working class whites of their "privileged" position.

The reason poor and working-class whites tend to support the Republican party is similar to the reason house slaves supported and protected the master from the field slaves. Even though the house slave was at the bottom of the social hierarchy, the master led him to believe he had an elevated status over all the others at the bottom. And that house slave fought like hell to protect the person, and the social structure that would give him any status at all.
