I didn't attack. I asked you an honest question.
If you don't like it here, why not move there where you claim you do like it?
My comment about them not wanting you is because very often, countries with those types of economies are very strict about their legal immigration. If you do not have the skills they need, then they will not let you in because they have to be very careful in the balancing act of their social systems or else they get overloaded.
Perhaps you've tried to emigrate and were not needed there was what I was saying. If you think that's a personal attack, it says more about what you think of yourself than anything I said about you. Whatever skills you have may not be skills they need, and sometimes, those can be very good skills indeed.
You’re full of sht. It was a dick statement meant to be a dick statement, just like your attempted disparaging psychoanalysis of me in this post. Just be honest and engage in honest debate, don’t be a smug dick slinging sideways insults and acting innocent. And when you do, at least own it and don’t play the victim. My prepubescent kid has more balls and honesty.
.....and you seriously can't figure out why people can't have a civil debate with you? People are so sick of the left and the condescending and arrogant tone that people like yourself like to interject into their post. Such as the "Trumpeteer" comment you made in this thread. Typical lefty hypocrisy that's why ya'll are a pathetic joke to so many.
You do all of this unprovoked on this forum. So please spare us your condescending and hypocritical BS, at the least grow a pair and own it.

No matter what, you pay. Either you pay in taxes and the government gives it back or you pay yourself. The only money government has is what they take from us.
Bernie will have to hit the middle class so hard, they will wish they had their insurance back. 40% of the country pays zero in and only takes. The rich don't have enough money to take even if they take it all. Unemployment would skyrocket.
Bernie can't deliver on his promises. It's not possible.

I very much hate to say this, I actually believe I may be making a deal with the devil, but maybe Hillary is right that Bernie Sanders should not be president.
I feel so cheap now, I feel degraded to say that something she said might be the truth.
Go ahead and shoot them for taking back the means of production from Jeff on Benzos?

Sanders biggest liability is that many of his supporters are just plain nuts.
It's going to really bite him in the ass unless he distances himself from them right away.
The average American simply won't vote for a nut - whether or not he's a Dem nut or a GOP nut.
Some Trump voters notwithstanding, of course...
And yet he’s the most popular US representative period. He’s the candidate with the largest amount of popular support in this election and last. He’s the candidate who has had the most donations by far. All this flies in the face of your statement.
Sanders pegs the price tag for his plan at $1.38 trillion per year during the first 10 years. This is based on an analysis by Gerald Friedman, an economist at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
Americans spent $3.65 trillion on health care in 2018

Grow up.
Well said!
Bravo!
But I want to take a look at the logical dichotomy I think many labor under. We were told we needed to bail out the banks and do qe. What did they do with it? They bought up other failing banks, and washed the junk bonds from their fraud and bad bets, and destroyed the worlds economy in the process. Because they had to have the money. They were too big to fail. Where was “where will we get the money?!” Then?

That's part of the problem with "safety nets".
There is no risk, no cost to failure.
Because if there were a risk a cost to failure, people would be more careful.
But if the government is always going to bail you out if you fail, then you go ahead with ridiculous concepts and plans because there is never any risk involved.

No need to bankrupt the country to give us better health care and his plans can't be paid for.

Lots of jabbering since I last posted. Had to go to a meeting, adult/work stuff.
So the consensus is that government is corrupt and the solution is grant government more power, authority, and increase the size and scope of government.
Oh, and sling insults when anyone question this irrational approach.
