It's worth noting that pollution generally is a failure to properly encode (i.e. make good laws) and enforce property rights. On your property, you have a right to not have the air coming onto your property poison you.
There's nothing wrong with child labor per se, provided it doesn't harm the child or interfere with the parent's responsibility to educate and in other ways care for their children. Historically, child labor allowed children to live, who would have otherwise starved to death. Many children want jobs, to be able to buy toys of their own choosing and otherwise achieve some measure of independence.
In most cases, monopolies are established by the government. Removing the government restrictions instead of setting up the government as a competitor is usually a better solution.
"The needs of the people" is a remarkably plastic concept, showing little agreement between different people. Someone claiming to know (and to provide) "the needs of the people" is likely to be a fraud or worse.
Buy somebody's manufacturing plant. Jack up the prices; if you're the only maker of new machines, you can set the price almost arbitrarily. If it doesn't work, it's because the demand side is completely gone.
In 1980, a new VCR was $750. Today, they're $90 combined with a DVD player. That would indicate that there's some room for price increases for people who really want a new machine.
Also due to cold tires having higher rolling resistance. Expect cars to have roughly 10% worse MPG due to tires at 0 C than at 25 C; for human-powered bicycles the results are more dramatic.
Police cars need to be big so that the rear seat area can be armored to hold a large violent prisoner and keep the police in the front seat safe. How do you do that with a tin can like the Charger?
The new energy-saving washers are front-loaders, which save energy by not using as much water as a top-loader. By using less water, they have to agitate the clothes a great deal more to get them not as clean as a top-loader. That agitation is tough on the clothes. You may well be dissipating your energy savings money by replacing the clothes your washer has turned into lint.
Economy of scale applies even to the basics of life: food, clothing, shelter. Thus, with more people, the labor required per person to provide the essentials is less. That leaves more time for each person for other productive activities. Until such time as side effects become more critical than a lack of productivity and ingenuity, more people means more wealth per person. We ain't there yet.
It's also worth noting that the federal government has foisted on the states a host of burdens that has shifted the place where the money passes through. This may be observed by looking at the total employment at the federal and local levels over the last few decades. The federal employment numbers have declined slightly, but state and city employment has increased by a factor of 4 or more.
Who is producing that wealth? What are those producers being paid? Why don't those who aren't working, work, so that they can get some wealth of their own?
Money is a declining asset. Why would those who you claim are hoarding money keep it, instead of investing it in some productive enterprise? - You know, paying people do do work? You are accusing those at the top of being stupider than you should be - why aren't you richer than they are?
This is a tariff issue, an unsuccessful attempt by domestic sugar producers to protect themselves against foreign competition.
Government meddling always leads to unintended (and often damaging) consequences.
Once you correct for inflation, the difference between the short term economic growth from Democrats and Republicans disappears. The long term effects of bad programs - mostly from FDR and LBJ - are devastating us to this day. The power grab of Obamacare is already causing economic damage, and it's only going to get worse.
Minimum wage generally only applies to inexperienced or grossly incompetent workers. People who have gained even a little experience get raises.
High legally mandated minimum wage leads to high unemployment among young black men. That in turn leads to criminal gangs and drug trade, and adds to the recent spike in general violence and shootings of policemen. This is the sort of disaster that the left and Democrats want, so that they can blame everything on 'racist Republicans'. As things get worse, they demand more of what caused the problems in the first place.

You confuse mistakes with malice. Marx and Engels attempted to put on over on the world.
And yet Hillary remains free.
The telecom wouldn't do the physical buildout, so it failed to provide that part of the service.

Yes indeed, the global warming fraud is indeed an obvious event,

Bankruptcies have to be approved by a court.

Mahindra, an Indian company, has become he world's largest manufacturer of traditional tractors. It has assembly plants in the U.S.

Until 1971 other nations (not individuals) could convert dollars into gold at the US "gold window". Nixon ended that.
Have you ever been in a typical 1950s' house that was affordable on a single income? We're talking Levittown: 750 square feet on a tiny lot.

And Nixon nailed the lid on the coffin when he ended the last governmental link between the dollar and gold.

As in the USSR? Multiple families living in one room - that's the wonder of "social housing".
Just as "social justice" means no justice, "social housing" means no housing.
Ideally slavery needs to be combined with freedom. Ideally private property needs to be combined with universal mandatory theft.
