I guess what I’m saying is IQ is the real cause of disparity which is no one’s fault. And before anyone says behavior, how can one say low IQ isn’t a large factor in crime, illegitimacy and lack of material success?

Don’t what? Realize it or that it’s changed?

Corporations have been groveling before the leftists for decades with their green initiatives, making sure their employees “volunteer” for various projects, giving back (whatever that means), and begging to be recognized as good corporate citizens. Wonder how they will manage to grovel their way around this proposal?

Biden is speaking to the permanent underclass that doesn’t believe it will ever accumulate wealth; they are dependent on wealth transfers from taxpayers via the gubmint, without the slightest concern as to where those funds originate.

Gibsmedats aren’t analytical people.

His campaign slogan is more like Goodbye America!

I’ve always believed that one scheme to save Social Security will be to means-adjust it; those who save their money like hardworking ants will receive a smaller payout than the grasshoppers who played around for 50 years saving nothing.

Doesn’t seem so far-fetched in light of what they have already done (bumping up the retirement age).

“It’s way past time to put the end to the era of shareholder capitalism. The idea the only responsibility a corporation has is its shareholders — that is simply not true, it’s an absolute farce. They have a responsibility to their workers, their community, to their country.”

Unfortunately, there are few left who will point out how morally wrong this is. The corporation doesn’t belong to the workers, community, and country. It belongs to the shareholders. Running the corporation for the benefit of non-shareholders is simply theft.

“On the Beach” was a great book and a great movie.

Biden can’t remember from 5 minutes ago.

His Democrat handlers will resist the debates because, once he is onstage, they won’t be able to feed him his lines or prompt him get back on track. Trump needs to confuse him, verbally, with rapid fact-loaded attacks and challenge him to defend or repudiate them item by item. Eventually (like after 5 or 10 minutes) Biden will become mentally fatigued and try to leave claiming he’s “talked too much already.”

Then he will wonder off stage.

At that point Trump should insist he return to the stage and continue to run rhetorical circles around him until he wonders off again, collapses, etc.

If his own party will not show mercy to him, neither should PDJT.

Shareholders risk their after tax income and invest in firms they deem worthy. Companies take that money and invest in the company to grow. What the heck is Biden talking about?

Shareholders risk their after tax income and invest in firms they deem worthy. Companies take that money and invest in the company to grow. The government has no direct control over the process. That is what Biden is talking about.

An immediate effect will be even stronger favoritism toward the software and media companies local governments and Democrats love so much. Manufacturing, mining, agriculture, or anything else that generates actual wealth but is "dirty" will have to be done offshore.

Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered an economic speech in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, on Thursday in which he unveiled his economic vision, declaring an “end to the era of shareholder capitalism.”..

Except for himself and his party faithful.
