I kinda miss old Bernie. He loved to tell us how wonderful socialism is. But he and the democrats seemed to back off of that. Maybe because people in Venezuela are eating dogs???????????

They quit talking socialism, but if democrats get in, they will try hard as hell to move the US as close to socialism as they can.

If Reps are in control much longer, squeezing the blood out of the rock that is the dirt-poor of so many in the low-income of those that Trump, Trumplicans and the Trump Cult piss on, then Americans will be eating dogs under the oligarchy/plutocracy of conservative ideology, aspiring to meet Maslow's lowest level of hierarchy.

On what basis do you claim Center-Right Capitalist Moderate Centrist Biden and Harris would move at all towards socialism?

Does this mean you've totally abandoned the bet you put forward yesterday? Are you too cowardly to put your metaphorical money where your mouth is?

Of course what you say is a democrat lie. Fully 50% of taxpayers in the country pay no income tax at all. And that includes all of your "dirt poor" and low income people.

BTW which is the BIG TAX party???

And AGAIN you prefer to attack me rather than debate the thread. As Thumper's mother said, if you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything at all.

Conservatives claim its Capitalist. Then they turn around an call anyone who advocates for policies like those in Norway "socialist" and say that America would be "socialist" if we adopted them.

BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE MASSIVE HYPOCRITES.

Not so much hypocrites as they are just trolls. They have no real ideology, that's why they're so consistently inconsistent. "**** you liberals" is their only real motivation. They enjoy the frustration their "debate" creates, because real debate was never among their goals.

So you can't name a single Leftist position either of them holds?

Are you still too cowardly to take me up on that bet you made in your other thread?

Fully 50% of taxpayers in the country pay no income tax at all.

Whose fault is that?
60 percent of those who don't pay income tax are still working and paying taxes for Social Security and Medicare. Their tax liability is just too low to qualify for the income tax. Whose fault is it that their income is so low that they don't hit a tax bracket?
Another 22 percent of non-payers are retirees. Is it their fault?

"Nearly 5 million taxpayers will be off the rolls as a result of the tax relief this year. What's interesting is that the tax relief lowered rates, but the amount withheld from the paycheck was not adjusted until summertime last year. And so the Treasury Department estimates Americans will receive an additional $50 billion in higher refunds and lower tax payments when they file their taxes in April -- April 15th of this year. That's positive news, to help keep this momentum, this economic momentum alive and well."
(George W. Bush, 2004)

Poor Dubya, he didn't think he was creating an army of Obama voters. He thought it was good policy.

Nice to see you back to your usual habits of blaming poor people for everything.

No, not “full” 50% that you can prove. Wrong again, Logical1. BTW, those that don’t pay fed income taxes don’t make enough income to tax and still keep food on the table, clothes on their backs, and a roof over their head. It’s not a matter of how many don’t pay. It’s a matter of who can afford to pay AT ALL.

The Rep party is the big tax GIVEAWAY TO THE RICH AND LARGE CORP party as they give the avg American crumbs and go back on their promise of a 10% tax cut to the middle class. The Rep party promises tax cuts to those who most need them, but give them only to the rich and large corps.

Do you have private health insurance? Health Insurance is based off of socialistic ideas. In other words, you pay the same monthly premium as everyone else on the plan, regardless of your age or health.

I don't know your age, but as you get older, it makes a difference.

Hitler increased private firearms ownership and ended Weimar Era anti-gun laws. Seriously, you have no ****ing clue what you talking about.

Socialized medicine is supported by conservative parties all over the planet.

Increased only for Nazi Party members. Jews were prohibited from owning firearms, and that's the group that matters in any discussion about Hitler.
