    Affordable housing is their number one concern? Perhaps they should move to California.... the most liberal state in the union with absolutely no hope of a conservative ever being elected again. Last I heard you can purchase a shack there for only a million dollars. However if you want a real house you are going to need to shell out some real money.

    If housing costs are the voters number one concern, why in the hell they would they vote for a Democrat? For God's sake, the results of their policies are on open display for anybody to see on the West Coast. Who would have thought that strangulating housing regulations and sanctuary cities would cause a housing shortage?

    Yeah, wages I’m counting under social capital to avoid the problem of barter or non market economies. Not all jobs are paid for, or debts owed to workers. Think domestic labor. Labor doesn’t need someone to know how to work the machines? Of course it does. That’s human capital. Machines need raw materials to work. That’s physical capital. Social capital really should be monetary capital, but again, not all jobs are paid with money, so social capital is a better way of phrasing it. You might think you know eco 101, but I’m the one teaching the clas.

    Reconstruction was a 12 year program if I remember correctly. 1865-1877. In terms of data points? I’m using about 100 years of data.

    Labor wages is a cost of production. Individual human capital determines how much a worker is paid per hour. If wages are artificially raised by government or union negotiation the cost of production goes up, the price of goods produced goes up, and fewer goods are purchased. This results in fewer workers - jobs are lost.

    Nope. Remember not all labor is paid with money. Your friend asks you to help move him into a new apartment and you agree to with no rewards, not even a pizza. Wages are not the cost of production, they are the cost of maintaining social bonds in a workplace. When wages go up, it is because the bonds need to be maintained at a higher cost. The reason when jobs are lost is because the social bonds that maintain them into a company turn into different kinds of bonds. Bridging bonds specifically. They don’t have to work there, or don’t need as many employees because they have different kinds of motivations to work there now.

    You are correct, what you fail to address is, the era was chiefly about the 11 states that were left in poverty from the war! Sure they mention blacks in the text but it was clearly focused on whites, and commerce.. The twelve years had little to do with the betterment of anyone but planters and restructuring those states to comply with established U.S. government/constitution.

    It was hardly about blacks "other then the war itself" until the very end of that decade.. ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Good job. I’m glad you can keep up. Now what happened when black people folded into the economic recovery of the south at the cost of maintaining political rights and protections?

    99.9999% of labor is wage based.

    Wages are cost of maintaining social bonds in the workplace ??? What planet does that come from ??? But if you really mean that then the amount of money you’re paid is irrelevant as long as the social bonds are maintained.

    Because all of this is a bunch of lies. Race baiting polls, etc..... All turn out to be lies.

    Perpetrated by all the usual suspects.

    They hobbled along with no education and ended right back where they started, on the plantations working for democrats under the unique title of indenture servant just as they do today after a trillion spent on the "war on poverty" set in to motion by LBJ.. So I guess the moral of the story is, once you belong to a democrats, NOTHING can free you ;)

    They can think for themselves. But it's probably tough to vote for a party that they are constantly being told are the equivalent of the kkk

    The questions for this poll are leading. It is obvious that the result was decided before the poll was conducted.

    Yup. Like domestic work.

    Good job! They didn’t have an education. Why? Because they lost political privileges. I’m so glad you can keep up. Now if they can’t get political rights, how can they vote?


    So black people are so feeble they can’t realize they’re being manipulated? Listen to yourself and what you have to assume in order to make it true.

    I'm sure that slaves had jobs but they didn't get paid for their labors.

    News flash. Slavery ended in the United States in 1865.

    Learn American history. Slavery is legal in every State in the Union. Read the Constitution and your State Constitution.

    Liberals are the ones pushing slavery. If the left had their way I would slave away for 6-7 months a year for the Government. Sort of the same concept used in ancient Egypt to build the pyramids.
