FDR infected this country with some socialist germs.

yep. let the fleas vote to tax the dog to death. then the fleas starve and everybody is dead
Yep that is what libertarians believe! Sure is a good thing they represent less than 1% of the country. LOL!
so you deny that some of what FDR did was based on socialism? that is different than saying he was a socialist
You deem socialism to be whatever is best for the majority of Americans.

you seem to think quantity is more important than quality
its like saying you should adopt the training methods of all the guys who cannot make a college team because there are far more of them than those who make the Olympic medal rounds
but then again when one is content to never win it makes sense
Did he take over means of production? Perhaps he made land ownership illegal? Yeah, I think you're loose with the actual definition of socialism.
The best quality for the most people is what the majority of the country want. If only the 1% wins and everyone else loses that is no victory for the country.
actually that is stupid again
you seem to think that giving addicts drugs is best for them
actually the government took steps in that direction, companies were used for the war effort on direction of the government.
You consider a better standard of living for more people and better economy to be drugs?
And which nation unequivocally won the war?

Used? people got rich. But, no, he did not take over the means of production. Sorry.
I consider people becoming more and more dependent on government handouts and expecting others to continually pay for what they want to be bad for them in the long run
If you had any idea how the world works, you would realize that we have been here before. ANYONE with a half a brain would understand this clearly in 1930, but few today seem to have the ability to think beyond the pure BS handed to them by banks and the free ride crowd on Wall Street.this is one of the most moronic suggestions that I have seen on this board in over 7 years
Says the guy who thinks the country has been socialist since FDR.
says the guy who thinks there are more people in the bottom 20% of the population than in the top 20% of the population :lol:
Technically, Marxism dictates taking over means of production - and Marxism CAN be an element of both socialist and communist systems. When you consider things such as TVA and the BLM, or even work done by the Corps of Engineers, that state ALREADY owns a substantial chunk of the property and means of production. Hell, doesn't the US still own it's stake in Government Motors??Did he take over means of production? Perhaps he made land ownership illegal? Yeah, I think you're loose with the actual definition of socialism.
I would love to see the poor people you see!the question then becomes...how much does someone really "need"? i would be much more generous towards "the poor" if I didn't routinely see people driving up to walmart in a shiny new car, wearing designer clothes and jewelry, talking on a smart phone and then pay for their groceries with food stamps. the govt robs from the rich to pay for food and shelter for the poor so the poor can spend their paycheck on wants instead of needs.
if people want something and are unwilling to pay for it but instead demand others pay more taxes I don't find their attitude to be any different than that off a thief. they are merely outsourcing thievery and of course, outsourcing something one can do for themselves is the Sine qua non of the leftwing mindset
