'Murica! (334 Viewers)

[GordoDeCentral]

I have been living in the US for two years now. My situation is different from a typical immigrant/citizen because I'm a student and i'm not really fully aware of struggles that an American citizen is going through but i have to say I've loved this place a lot so far. The diversity is so great you easily find yourself a part of the society. What I absolutely love about people is that they are what i'd call "so close so far". They don't care who you are or who you are from, how you look or what you wear (which is something i find really refreshing coming from Iran, people there always love to stick their nose into everybody else's business), but once they see you may need them they offer their help (which is something i'm no stranger with coming from Iran, people there also love to help others). Another thing that has struck me with the (rather small) sample of Americans i have closely interacted with is that they may seem overconfident and snobbish at first, but they are in fact very fair about knowing their abilities and weaknesses. I have had close friends from several different countries and i have yet to see people who are willing to accept their mistakes and own up to them as easily as are Americans. Lovely people, or i have been super lucky in the past two years.

He's a douchebag, much like Trump.

At first I thought you were referring to Andy

Are you moving there permanently or are you planning on going back after your studies/working for couple of years?

They have a lot of better candidates to vote for. And they can refrain from voting as well. How can Trump represent a sane educated person is beyond me.

It's because Trump is not an establishment candidate; at least he doesn't appear to be one. If you pay attention to the actions of the GOP establishment and FOX News, they are trying to carefully attack Trump so that he loses popularity. This is seen from the attacks at the debates and elsewhere. Instead, they would rather have a Neo-Con like Jeb in place so they can have leverage and control him. Moreover, Trump has stated he would consider running as a third party candidate, which would destroy the Republican Party. Personally, I think the current GOP does need to be destroyed because they are traitorous freaks. That is partly why some individuals may support Trump, for good reason.

The fact that you don't want Wall Street & Big Business to run the country yet you advocate zero capital gains and inheritance tax is quite baffling to say the least.

I don't think so. Retail investors have to pay cap gains as well. The difference is that big banks have their bets backstopped by moral hazard forces while people like myself don't. Therefore, we shouldn't have to pay cap gains taxes. If the government is unable to bail out investment banks for bad bets, then we have more of a level playing field where we have no bail outs or cap gains. Play at your own risk, which is the way it should be.

As for the Wall Street pro's, it depends on who it is. Most likely they will be Goldman Sachs buddies, so they will create policy based on maximizing wealth for their constituents. That's not to say somebody outside of Wall Street wouldn't do the same or not be compromised, which is why I advocate that the only solution to this problem is limited government reach and more fiscal responsibility.

Not to mention that Trump would by a hugely incompetent president, seeing as he won't be able to accomplish anything really with his approach. The president isn't like the head of a company who can fire elected officials or civil stakeholders because they do not share his beliefs.

No, but the President can appoint cabinet members who are not totally compromised, which would be nice for a change.

Why not Sanders then? Come on, Trump is a horrible creature through and through. He's speaking his mind? So what? His mind stinks. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is also speaking his mind ffs.

Sanders is a socialist.

The fact so many people hate Trump is actually another reason to like him.

Fuck it, I may actually consider voting for him now. People don't have any real arguments against him whatsoever.

Though if i was an American I'd definitely wish it didn't come to that choice, a choice between a socialist and a clown.

I like that you compare current US to an island with limited resources

But I probably wouldn't. I would take charge myself

Ron Paul

Definitely the best candidate that has been around in the past few elections. Too bad his son is a sellout.

Mitt Romney would have swept away all these republican candidates.
