The Don

I’ve been struck by this during the whole election – that how often Donald Trump uses money as the measurement of his civic virtue, or his talent, or his credential to become the president of the United States. And clearly money can serve as one way of measuring success, but in my business over the years as a journalist, I haven’t seen another candidate rely so much on claims of wealth to underscore personal integrity”


Robert O’Harrow, Washington Post
 
In China’s social media, Trump is transliterated into “Chuan-pu” or “Tang-Chuang-Po,” both of which sound funny and disrespectful in Mandarin. The former literally means “Sichuan-style Mandarin” and the latter “Donald Breaking Bed.” Chinese internet users gave Trump these nicknames mostly because they believed that Trump was just a joke and had absolutely no chance of getting elected.

Clinton’s child-care proposal follows her push for paid family leave and universal preschool. Her rival for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), has pledged to tax the wealthy to create a public child-care system.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump has largely avoided the subject. He has referred to child rearing in an interview about his personal life as his wife’s job. The family, he said, does not employ nannies

Well, it has been like that for several millennia, why change? Nothing wrong with that comment because when mothers do stay at home, the kids are better behave unlike those who go to daycare and learn terrible habits, video games and other destructive things they can get into without PROPER supervision.

My mom waited till we were 14 years old before deciding to teach because she always grew up that moms stay at home with kids and she agrees with Donald but she won't vote for him just because he does not have a "D" in front of his name. Funny, she agrees with about 90% of his views. I told her he is a Liberal so it is okay to vote for him.

Studies show that kids are healthier and score better in school when their mother is a stay at home mom.

Those are meh studies though.

The phenomenon of both parents working full time is still something relatively new, and schedules and work accommodations are much different than before. It will be another 10-15 years before we really know how it works.

So what you're saying is if jobs paid better that a parent (be it mom or dad) was able to stay at home, things would be better? Maybe you need to take up that argument and demand companies pay higher wages to their employees, and fight the rising costs of common goods and sevices.

FWIW, my mom was king of a hybrid between working and staying at home. From when i was in pre-k age and on she worked as a teacher, and kind of similar with my siblings. She worked a lot and sometimes my parents got by on foodstamps. THey worked very hard to get where we were and certainly I think their hard work had a much bigger impact on the relative success of her children in school and in life.
 
Funny how it's socially acceptable to "demand companies pay higher wages to their employees" when that is private money, but it's "selfish" and childish" to ask for the government to let people keep more of what they earn

Oh it's fun to be a leftist

Correct on both counts.

Funny how a capitalist likes to claim to believe in the free market, but doesn't believe consumers have the ability to control what the companies they deal with pay their employees.

When Trump brags about not paying taxes, he brags about getting you to subsidize his gross chandeliers and cuticle treatments

wha??

You're the one who insists on a minimum wage... I insist on a free market.

If the government wants workers to have more money - they can control that legally. They can cut tax burdens and spending.

But no, that would be selfish!
 
Correct on both counts.

Help me understand why I have a "right" to tell a private citizen what to do with his/her money.

Also help me understand why it is not selfish to insist that other people pay higher taxes for terrible government programs.
