    The MAXIMUM number of illegals living in America was in 2007, and it was only 12.2 million. It has NEVER been 60 million or close. You're using fake statistics to argue your point. If you have to use false statistics to support your argument, then your argument is DOA.

    What's wrong with capitalism that it can't provide benefits for the majority it serves instead of a small, select minority? Is that really the definition of a SUCCESSFUL system?

    So it has nothing to do with the ten commandments?

    I agree that capitalism in China has done some good for the Chinese people overall. But the same can be said for socialism in the Scandinavian & W European countries. Both systems have positive traits that combined could be better than either alone.

    Minimum wage isn't a viable marketplace value to me or anyone else in America. I'm sorry you think it is. You undervalue both the human and the work done by that human.

    There are assuredly examples that support your argument, but the current disparity between the haves & have nots here in America, points to the reality that there's something inherently wrong with the way capitalism is functioning here. The economic disparity is at it's greatest level in American history. It indicates a major breakdown in the American capitalist system, and signals that system requires massive repairs or alterations. More Americans need to be included in the benefits from the growing wealth of the nation. It's necessary.

    China is perfect example of how inequality is good. A few capitalist billionaires are leading 100's of millions into the middle class after starving to death under socialist equality Do you understand?

    They live at 50% of our GDP and always have 10% unemployment. Even Krugman says they have Eurosclerosis. Just another example of socialism in action. Ever heard of Cuba/Florida??

    ?? Europe combines more socialism and lives at 50% of our GDP and would live at 30 % if not for our inventions. Do you understand? They riot weekly in France despite confiscatory taxes. Do you understand?

    I was teaching you the Great Christian Commandment and explaining how relatives of school shooter's victims wish you had not killed the school shooter's God.

    most adults here have smart phone toy super computers in their pockets at $150/month while 2 billion people live on
    $2/day or less. Now does the liberal understand?

    yes its basic science, survival of the fittest, not survival of the least fit who live on the dole. Do you know about science? Do you know the liberal nanny state is bigger and more crippling than ever and so of course Sanders wants yet another huge increase because the old, anti-science survival of the lest fit, nanny state failed so badly?

    it does not matter if its 10 or 30 million. Libs now say wall is immorality and must come down to let another 60 million in so real Americans will never see another wage increase and libs can claim capitalism does not work. See why say liberalism is based in pure treasonous ignorance?

    Why would they when Marxist Democrats need to create a lower class with welfare dependency as a solid voting block. Do you think its coincidental that blacks vote 97% for the lib nanny state?

    Marx popularized both terms. Socialism was a stepping stone to communism.

    Lenin: "The goal of socialism is communism."
    Its astounding how little a liberal will know.

    I suspect that blacks vote 97% Democrat due to the fact that the Democrats supported the 1965 Civil Rights Act while Republicans courted the Southern White Supremacist vote. Based on what I've seen of the Trump administration & its policies, the Republicans are still courting that vote.

    Your claim of 60 million illegals is not now, nor ever was true. Fake stats. Pure propaganda for the fear-mongering radical conservative Republicans. Not based on facts. Pure BS. :(

    We need more socialists, libertarians, Worker's party, constitution party members in our legislative bodies. heck maybe even maybe an avowed fascist or communist or two aren't a bad idea. we need a far broader spectrum of ideas and ideologies, and we need media coverage for the entire spectrum for a healthy republic.

    Other free people don't have a monopoly for determining my value in the marketplace. I'm surprised you'd give that power to someone else to evaluate yours.
