    we can have the economic prosperity without the racism, in fact I’d argue if we recreated the economic effects of the 50s, high tax rate on the rich, local manufacturing and being a net exporter, that diversity would only make us more competitive.

    edit: wow it looks like some cute little edgelad only wants their prosperity with extra helpings of racism.

      Not sure what you are talking about with the edit. This meme is conservative thinking. My point is simple “The millions of US families” who had this, which was never a majority and never non-whites, their kids are us. Well not me, these people who enjoyed this prosperity actually destroyed Iran where I’m from. We know how that system turned out, thus I don’t want to go back to the system that enabled that. I’d like to go to a new system.

        Agreed, that’s why I’ve spent the last few years working on a different economic system that turns attention into currency, and makes manufacturing a race to the top powered by people who love what they do.
