Just as ‘08 and ‘12 Obama “evolved” on marriage equality, Hillary has recently been “evolving” on issues like TPP, student loans, & BlackLivesMatter.  Not all there yet, but a start. 

Trump wants trickle down economics, a reinstatement of stop and frisk, and conservative SCOTUS nominations to reverse our progress. He will not “evolve” for us no matter how much we lobby. 

I know we all want and deserve more progress. Many young voters want to sit out unless a candidate has it all. Voter silence is a mistake that will hurt us. Staying home won’t “revolutionize the system.” The system is used to youth voter apathy. They ignore us because we won’t pressure them. 

We have to use our voices, vote for the person most likely to listen, & shout & lobby till we achieve our goals. Please. It works. Apathy doesn’t. #Hillary2016 to protect our progress from Trump. #Hillary2016 so the person we lobby for the next 4 years might actually listen. It does seem like she’s starting to, or we wouldn’t have seen this:

Apple is based out of California, they generated 233.7 billon dollars in revenue last year. Yet Apple refuses to manufacture in the USA. Apple has continued to use Foxconn as their manufacturer, and America has continued to turn the other cheek. 

But everybody seems to forget that Apple isn’t the only company to have their products made by Foxconn. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo’s major consoles, all made by Foxconn. They make TVs for Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba. Phones for Nokia, Huawei, and Motorola. They’re a major assembler of PCs for Dell, Acer, and Hewlett-Packard. 

This is a lot worse than just one company.

This is what happens when you tax the fuck out of everything that moves and mandate minimum wages. It gets too expensive, so businesses cut costs wherever they can.

No this is what happens when capitalism runs the world. It costs less to pay people sweatshop wages than a fair wage. 

Yes and no. Wages for skilled, or even semi-skilled labor in the U.S. are so high, due to the rampant taxing of everything that everybody has to pay for, presumably from their wages, that not only is it cheaper to pay the sweat shop prices, it’s cheaper to pay the sweat shop prices AND the cost of shipping your goods back halfway around the world AND the import tariffs than it is to pay someone enough to do your job -and- give the government their cut of the money that they had literally no hand whatsoever in you earning, beyond being a hindrance to you earning it in the first place.

No we actually have relatively low taxes compared to the rest of the world, most democracies do.  And as long as the economy can handle the tax (higher average incomes than dictatorships for example) then it doesnt significantly impact productivity. It only impacts productivity when the relative tax is fairly high. We arent really at that point yet and if anything we should be taxing the wealthy more. The poor of course dont really pay income taxes in the US. The tax cut ideas of the tea party and regan didnt actually improve the economy, it was a huge waste of money and were still trying to undo the damage. So please, pay your taxes.

You really just seem to not know about how economics and politics work.
