Do you consider yourself more left or right wing?

Nonsense.  It is my money in my accounts with my name attached to it.  It is my work that provide said money.  

And the West is mediocrity?  I'll bear that in mind when the entire world uses Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft...  every day, all day.  The US is flatly leading world-wide innovation.  The US doesn't have 8 out of the top 10 companies because reasons.

When Nvidia is worth more than UK, France and Germany stock markets...  yeah, the west is falling behind, lol.  Please.  

The only countries with national stock markets worth more than Nvidia as of Thursday were India, Japan, China, and, of course, the U.S.

.... yep, we need a change, the US is falling behind the world!! 

No, it is not your money, it is the total common wealth that you get to hold a slice of, as long as society agrees that it is reasonable.

That the entire World uses Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, and that they are more valuable than individual countries, is good for those companies, it is not good for the West. The US debt is astronomical and the workers cannot pay their bills. China has coupled their innovation and growth with a rise in the living standard for the population, that is smart and a lot more sustainable.

Yeah, it is my money.  it is my account with my name.  I am the one who went to work, performed my duties that warranted my paycheck.  My duties are assigned based on my education, my knowledge and my experience. This push for people's things to be community owned is nonsense.    

The US's debt to GDP ratio isn't much different than places like Canada, France, Italy, etc.  So, no.  

Again, people in this thread want to paint a picture that simply isn't accurate.
