    So what?

    The "progressive" states created all sorts of poverty and especially child poverty and starvation.

    That's the only way @barfo can be right about something.

    "million millionaires" next to each other looked odd when I first typed it, I guess.

    Ha! Well sir, you do sort of give off that vibe. See how long it took to get you to admit you worked for a rich man. Probably take another year to get you to say you appreciated the work.

    Russia created all sorts of poverty and starvation, not that I'd call them progressive as if it's a bad word or something...the cost of living hasn't helped the poor by any stretch.....big pharma, real estate ballooning into the biggest get rich quick scheme in the country driving up housing costs....that's what many Oregonians despise about the California transplants that come up here to buy inflate and sell property....the working class can only take so many rent raises and now few can dream of owning a home.....but we now have more billionaires

    LOL

    Bill Clinton promised his cabinet would "look like America."

    I think they were all midgets/little people. Shalayla, Reich, Albright, probably others I'm not recalling. I do remember seeing them all together at the State of the Union address and it was interesting to see so many little people.

    I guess according to Clinton, America looks like little people. Not that I have anything against little people - I don't.

    They absolutely were socialist/progressive.

    From about the same time as the Russian Revolution, the ideas of the Progressives:

    You know, to make a more perfect society.

    Fuck that.

    I did indeed, due to lack of any other info. But I notice you make no mention of appreciating the jobs you had. Do you view rich man as users, instead of the source of a job?

    Well, that is something that's gone in and out of style.

    I don't really give a shit about being politically correct. The name doesn't harm them.

    I have many many wealthy friends I admire.....and I've already said this but I'll repeat it...I view corrupt tycoons who profit at the expense of others bad for the country and I view wealthy people who contribute to betterment of our country great people....the divisive issue here is Trump.....I think he's a liar and less than honest about his dealings or his past. I think he's an asshole and I don't think he is a self made man. Snake oil salesman...I've made no claims otherwise, yet my personal feelings about him should not reflect on my values, wins or losses. As far as I know Marz....you could be in debt up to your ears and corrupt....I like to think otherwise, especially in conversations around here.

    Well there has to be a reason for this difference in opinions of the man. In fact, my opinion, the man has the chance to be the best President in my memory. That sir, is a stark difference that I can not begin to see a reason for the difference.

    It's not a horrible name.

    It's not like the Progressive Agenda to murder them because it's makes a better society. That's really harmful.
