“Other than you, I never heard of a freeper thinking Elizabeth Warren was the voice of conservative economics. Odd.”
So you’re a pro life liberal then?
Sheesh, just what we need, more Huckabee zombies…...
A socialist is what you are.
There were “conservative” nazis as well but at the end of the day they all were on board with national socialism.
Listen, anyone who thinks Elizabeth Warren is “right” and “correct” on economic issues is so far to the left that it’s not even debatable. She’s basically a communist.
It would be helpful if you considered the points the others are trying to tell you.
1. Economics are governed by the laws of supply and demand.
2. There are a lot of stores out there selling stuff (supply).
3. There are potential customers out there looking for bargains (demand).
4. The margin between a store's profit and total cost is very, very slim.
5. Competition is keen and whole lines of advertising are used to directly compete for customers between different stores.
6. Walmart is competing with all those other stores. They have been very successful by having lots of great bargains. The customers are in the drivers seat, not the Waltons.
7. If they paid more in wages to unskilled workers, they would have to raise prices and risk losing customers which leads to going out of business due to keen competition.
These points are simple common sense built on knowledge about economics. I hope they help you.
Yes, we noticed:
"[Elizabeth Warren] is right (i.e. correct) about economic issues"
Oh really. The liberal icon Elizabeth Warren, who advocated for a $22.00 minimum wage? That Elizabeth Warren?
The Elizabeth Warren who decries oil and gasoline as 'old, dirty energy sources' and wants to push for more failed-and-subsidized Green Energy myths? That Elizabeth Warren?
The Elizabeth Warren who supports Union card check and otherwise aligns herself with the monstrous and competition-killing unions?
Yeah, I am sensing you do not belong here.
No thanks. Buh bye.
So, you’re a Christian Communist?
"Socially" conservative, and economically liberal/leftist then? As for God smacking down the USSR, I will not deign to infer His reasons for bringing the USSR down, but it is rather clear that the collapse of its leftist economy is the mechanism by which He did it. That same leftism is what you are advocating here.
Perhaps you should re-read some of the parables of Jesus that pertain to economic issues. Remember the servants and the talents? Did the Lord take away from the servant with the ten talents and give to the nonproductive servant with only one talent to deal with income inequality? NO. He took the one talent away from the nonproductive servant and gave it to the most productive servant. What about the workers who worked all day for a wage and then were incensed when workers who only worked the last part of the day were given the same wage? Did their wages get bumped up to compensate them for wage inequality? NO. Your leftist politics of envy - in the name of "equality" - is a violation of the Commandment "Thou shalt not covet ... anything that is thy neighbor's" and is not consistent with the teachings of Jesus.
