>I have the right to smoke weed and get abortions because it's my body and my property, but businesses shouldn't be able to keep their property and we need to increase taxes on the rich because their property is different somehow.

Same applies to blue, for the opposite reasons. If you're in the red, you're an authoritarian. If you're in the purple, you're a libertarian. Anything else is a betrayal of principle or just being an idiot with no rational thought.

Saying you have a monopoly on yourself is not the same as saying you have a monopoly on the planet. Of course they're different.

>>721171599
Not an argument.

Businesses are property, and are owned by people. They're property under the same principles by which people own their bodies and minds. You either acknowledge a right to property, or you don't. There are no concessions. It certainly helped to show that you're brainless.

>>721171666
Can you control and direct your body and mind? Yes, so you own it. Can you control/direct the planet through voluntary exchange of good/service? No? You don't own it.

I feel like some of the questions are worded a bit bizarrely. For instance "Good parents sometimes spank their children."

I think spanking is a bad thing and should be avoided, but some otherwise-good parents still spank so I have to choose Agree, which moves me towards authoritarian I believe.

Fellow purples: What are your feelings on protectionism in trade, specifically the policies being/about to be implemented by the Trump administration?

Personally, I'm not sure why we're going down this route. I see more deficit spending, a minor increase in the net amount of manufacturing jobs while simultaneously putting tens of thousands of jobs that rely on lower-priced imported materiel at risk, and little to no change in GDP growth.

is it weird to think that maybe only 10% of the questions are debatable?

eg: "What's good for the most successful corporations is always, ultimately, good for all of us."

how could you possibly agree when it says "always" AND "ultimately" there's an exception to everything

>>721178304
Protectionism is kinda a retarded idea to be honest. Yeah it makes it so your economy is more independent from other geopolitical influences, but at the same time you're more than likely inflating the price of those goods and services because of it.

Luckily though Trump is deregulating the marketplace with his protectionism, at least giving some positive benefit to manufacture and produce here in the country.

Like, how?

>>721178714
True, but how long can we guarantee the security of these manufacturing jobs? A decade, give or take? Automation is rapidly becoming more integrated and improved, and holding onto these laborers will eventually cost producers and consumers disproportionately. Then we'll have an even larger domestic workforce with no work. The deregulation is nice, especially for a small business like the one I'm in, but I can't see how it'll yield 4% growth, especially with his other trade/fiscal policies taken into account.

My most optimistic outlook is that he'll be an entertaining dud.

>>721167518
Mine just said literally Hitler

>>721179308
He's barely right, but he's at the very top. Authoritarian national socialism.

>>721179095
What you're missing is that small businesses drive a lot of job growth. Excessive regulation and high corporate tax rates make it extremely hard to start/run a SMB. Removing those means these businesses can employ more people.

>>721179095
Because ultimately economics is a tool. How many shekels the nation is worth isn't exactly a high priority to me, but building the skilled workforce is.
I agree that automation is a possible problem but it's easier for factory workers to retool as maintenance people than it is for service/information workers.

>small businesses drive a lot of job growth

Right, around 70% of our workforce is hired by small businesses and they contribute nearly half of GDP per quarter. Their are lifeblood, and that's why deregulation and small taxes sound fantastic: What I'm asking is, is this enough to brace the impact of his other policies?

>>721179513
>is a possible problem
It's not a problem, I think it's an inherent good, but it's already definitely been a pivotal factor to the decrease in domestic manufacturing jobs during the last decade, and the next decade will see that exacerbated. I agree that we need to stress innovation and entrepreneurship through our education, but

> it's easier for factory workers to retool as maintenance people than it is for service/information workers.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Why has losing these manufacturing jobs been such a prevalent issue, then?

Companies leaving for cheap third-world labor. The economy has moved away from manufacturing and toward service/IT jobs. Try to get a barista or a web developer to service a factory robot- then try the same thing with a factory worker.

If we want automation then we need people who can work on the robots.

>>721180965
And as the other anon said, small business is what really drives employment, and small business have a lot to gain through access to lower-priced imported goods. Bringing these manufacturing jobs back will have little-to-no effect in respects to both the employment rate and GDP growth. The price of goods, however, will increase.

>>721170644

>>721181344
>Factory workers aren't responsible for working on robots, people that work on robots are responsible for working on robots.
If you automate a factory, then the people who work on the robots become factory workers.
A mechanic or a conventional factory worker can more easily retrain to work on maintaining a robot than someone who has never worked with machines. Building a manufacturing force now makes us more able to handle the advent of automation.
