Yeah it's terrifying that someone that produces more than he uses would procreate. His children might grow up sharing his genetics and values, and also be productive members of society. Sounds aweful. Fucking hillbillies right?

It's really that simple for you isn't it?

All the benefits of government and civilization are being taken from people who do work, and being given to those who don't?

Like reforming our corrupt shit-ass healthcare system and cutting out the insurance middle-man so that it's affordable for employers and employees alike doesn't help everyone?

The idea that genetics drives success or behavior is racist because certain genetic populations suffer disproportionately from poor outcomes.

Aside from that it's just absurd, it's been well established families almost never share common personality/behavioral traits and those few that they do are exclusively the result of environmental influences.

Just keep your racist conjectures back in 1930 before people recognized them as such.

You just went full on retard PC bro

Just because something is 'racist' doesn't mean it isn't true.

Almost everyone accepts that genetics determine skin color, which it does. Then why would it be that far-fetched to propose that genetics determine IQ?

Look at public schools, kids of all different races are getting the same crappy education and most the time the same racial groups do better than others.

Genetics are everything, ask anyone who has ever bred a dog or any other animal for that matter.

But my mama said that race is a social construct and only a racist would say differently. (Look at your obamacare print out the next time you go to the doctor. I bet there will be two different boxes, one asking your race and another asking your ethnicity, damn those racist doctors and their medicine!! **When it comes to blood pressure medication they make one specifically for black people).

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

It depends on who you think will reduce our debt, the bankers who borrow more money than god and pay no taxes? or the people who want to break up the bankers and tax them.
indeed

you have to regulate corporate greed from a few different angles.

otherwise you create an oligarch class that benefits from wage suppression. poor get poorer, rich get richer.

immigration = cheap labor, happy to be here, easy to exploit etc. = wage suppression (now seeing wage suppression in "white collar" IT jobs, as we bring in more Indians) wage suppression in typical "white men" jobs is a huge problem as now even the "privileged" class is suffering, and when they fall, everything falls..

As we have seen with permanent loss of salary and wages in the past 15-20 years. No rise, steady falls back to 1990.

So we have loss of jobs AND loss of good salary even when jobs are provided. Its a double whammy that will destroy the middle class.

Yea, basic human income here we come!

In the California senate debate the leading rep nominee broached the subject of NOT raising the min wage and instead making sure if your income is sub a livable wage we subsidize what we need to to get you there.

Don't know if I trust this guy but after I look rough his history, if I think I can, he'll get my vote.

Bernie is p gud IMO, but he lacks a substantive argument as well as the vigor to take on a MSM backed Clinton. He is out of his league in this ring. More time given to minority opinions, like we had pre-Reagan, he would fair better, but alas, it wasn't meant to be in this political climate.

If you think Bernie lacks a substantive argument, especially relative to the other candidates, you haven't been paying attention.

Here's 30 years of Bernie Sanders talking substance, nailing issues before most people even knew they were issues.
