College Park decides Tuesday whether to allow noncitizens to vote

First of all, if I were going to engage in an economic debate you'd be the lasst person I'd do it with because your grasp of even basic economics is abysmal (aka - static, finite economic pie).

I didn't say the economic pie is static. It increases with resource extraction. It does not get bigger because you built a house.

(I can always sense when either someone says Ben Carson isn't smart, or when GCG's "wealth cannot be created or destroyed" theory come up)

Yes, and they cross a desert to get here and eat shit, because it gives them more money than they can make at home. Because our wages are insanely high, compared to the rest of the world.

Or if you weren't such a whiny snot you'd say the rest of world has insanely low wages and they need to step up their game.

But you don't because in that allegorical relationship between the poor nations and the rich ones, you see yourself as the poor ones, and it's the rich ones who are wrong and need to be brought low. Which is why you express those same sentiments towards anyone in your own society who fills the role of the rich nation to your poor nation.

You can't be happy about your place in a rich nation, because you identify as poor, and it's a whole lot easier to label everything others have that you don't as ill gotten.

It's also why you so frequently say all of this wealth we enjoy is going to come crashing down soon. Any day now. Grumps has been saying it his whole life. The system you say is going to collapse is the system responsible for the wealth of others that you see as ill gotten. Your prediction of the imminent demise of America and the rest of the modern world along with it is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Indeed. You won't find a lot of illegals hiking the desert just to sit around. Those people work their asses off.

Why don't they work their asses off getting citizenship? I know, do you?

If anything, the price of labor in this country is exorbitantly high (along with the price of everything else).

Won't somebody just make the prices fair? WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN??

Yes... We've entered a 50-year period of hyper-inflation, by printing magic money, and the rest of the world should have been doing the same. Those lazy pricks.

Also, the wealth of this 'fabulously rich nation' is directly tied to currency inflation. Great stuff, as always, man.

Why don't they work their asses off getting citizenship? I know, do you?

Uhhh because the process takes 30 years, and has a near-certain chance of their families getting deported in the meantime.

Look, we now have bigger numbers! We're fucking loaded baby!

Please show your work on where you get 30 years from.
