Reduce taxes and increase government spending, all while reducing national debt! What an amazing woman!

Debt is largely exaggerated issue.

Debt is the basis of the working system of capitalism. Only issue is congress' budgeting.

Oh, so that's what's wrong with her?

+1. The amount of debt that is too much is vastly underestimated.

No, the hagraven thinks socialism works too. Can't really tell which position is more insane.

Well of course MGSB, a completely capitalist system would destroy itself. The US does regulate it to some extent, but not enough.

Explain how a completely capitalistic system would destroy itself. If I remember correctly, the last major recession was caused by the government causing malinvestment and easy to get mortgages.

Well, I'd never vote for Jill, even if I lived in USA, which is another thing I'd never do, but if you cared to read the page try to note it says:

* End all subsidies for fossil fuels and impose a greenhouse gas fee / tax to charge polluters for the damage they have created.

* Make Wall Street, big corporations, and the rich pay their fair share of taxes.

* Rewrite the entire tax code to be truly progressive with tax cuts for working families, the poor and middle class, and higher taxes for the richest Americans.

* Strengthen rather than cut Medicare and Social Security. Remove the cap on social security taxes above a certain level of income.

There are both tax cuts and tax increases in there, and if she raises more than she cuts, she doesn't really need to be a magician.

The goal of capitalist company is to produce a product, as cheaply as possible and sell it for as much as possible

Yes, meeting the needs and wants of your fellow man as efficiently as possible. Don't see the problem here.

Meaning all regards given to one's fellow humans are destroyed for the sake of profit

Companies aren't the ones robbing folk en masse.

which is why so many banks are willing to give huge loans to African nations and force them into debt in order to achieve a cheaper price for the natural resources of the continent

Africans have a natural tendency to be anti-saving. This comes from the most successful folk in the region before now, usually being hunters or warriors, due to farming not being widespread. This means that genes that influence waiting being passed down usually leaned to the side of instant gratification rather than waiting for something better.

There is also strong interventionism and deterrents to saving in Africa currently, with things from interest rate lowerings to war and outright confiscations of savings, frustrating anyone who would want to save.

Capitalism will produce ecocide simply because of the greed that is required for the economic style.

Funny enough, government is the biggest polluter.

Renewable energy is also heavily subsidized. Energy subsidies need to be abolished because they are siphoning public money. Without subsidies energy companies could compete and reach the most efficient solution instead of bringing in the government dollars are not having to innovate.

Cut social security for druggies and the bottom of the barrel IQ scores and let natural selection take its course. Society should support the talented not equalize them with lesser people.

Encourage people to live within their means instead of requiring big tax money.

Taxes are better spent engineering a better society through eugenics and education. Educate people to be productive, virtuous individuals, Crack down on degeneracy.

End government since it is siphoning public money.

Smedley found another anarchist.

while we're at it, since we're going back to nature, let's stop wearing clothes and end government.

She's the best candidate by far (except for maybe G. Johnson).
