So lefties want socialism because everybody would be in the same wealth class....

[Daddyo]

America like most countries has a mixed economy and in some sectors the republicans are far more socialist than the democrats. In others far less.

Please explain which sectors.

Country is responsible for defense and infrastructure. Now its a nanny state. Taking care of people from the cradle to the grave.

I hope you returned your $1200 socialist handout cheque, uncashed. We like to look after our people in Britain. That isn't a "nanny state", it's a mature and caring state. Yours, on the other hand, is a culture of selfishness, greed, profit before health and 'screw you, I got mine'. Guess where I prefer to live.

Please explain which sectors.

military, police, welfare, medicaid, UI, waste services, parks, etc.
As to Republicans specifically when there was an attempt to privitize air traffic control they refused to support it. Placing America which tends to be more capitalist than most western countries in a position where

It was unregulated capitalism that caused the 2007 Wall Street meltdown and the worst global recession since the 1930s. Ignore that and all the bankruptcies, jobs, businesses and homes lost as a result of greed. If that's an example of the awesomeness of unrestricted and unregulated capitalism, well I don't know what to tell you.
Oh, and your country is now $26 trillion in debt. Isn't living on credit wonderful!

Because the CRA is "unregulated capitalism."

It's amusing to watch Communists lie without restraint.

The drones have truly purged the last vestige of integrity and honor.

So that’s why we supported civil rights legislation, established Social Security, Medicare, workers rights to organize, unemployment and disability insurance, the ACA, and environmental legislation? Didn’t know that.
And obviously, we want to undo the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Who will have to break the news to DaVinci, Rousseau and Voltaire, to say nothing of Jefferson?
Can you refer me to a source for your point?

democrats, who fought against voting rights for women, who fought against voting rights for black Americans, seek to present the Ponzi scheme of social security as a net benefit to workers, but in fact it is not - which is why the ruling elite in Congress and the government unions opt out of it. PERS makes government workers rich when they retire, SS has the peasants eating dog food - it they are foolish enough to depend on it.

A worker who entered the workforce in in 1980 and made the median wage until retirement who has paid into Social Security the entire time is being raped. The same funds invested in a mutual fund for the same period would return over 1800% more than the worker will get from the Ponzi scheme.

Unemployment and disability are state programs and have nothing to do with the utter bovine feces of the Communists.

And Obama's fascist care?

How embarrassing it must be for you to have a foreigner educate you on your own country. Note the use of the phrase, "unregulated use of derivatives" and then tell me where the lie is:

Trump summed up his views at a rally yesterday in very simple terms, "I like Putin, he likes me."

Trump wasn't through with his adulation of the Russian dictator. "I like Putin. He likes me. We get along. Wouldn't you say it's smart to get along? OK? It's smart," he told supporters in Ohio.

Again, this might be a question of intelligence.

Considering the fact that Putin is no friend of the United States, considering the fact that Putin will do whatever he can to weaken our country, considering the fact that is why Putin approved of Trump in the first place, isn't that akin to President Roosevelt saying, "I like Adolf Hitler."

Trump's followers will have nothing to say.

They don't want to know.

These are the people who chose our President the last time.

I knew it. Not a word from Trump's supporters. Is it a question of intelligence?

The real issue is not socialism. That is simply a fantasy concocted by Trump's followers so they don't have to talk about their candidate of choice, Trump.

The real issue is Trump's competence, which is why his fans avoid talking about him.

We are beginning to feel the effects of Labor Day weekend. 206,000 Americans have died from the virus, and deaths from the virus has increased in 20 states. The number of cases of the virus is increasing in 24 states. United States Coronavirus: 7,095,623 Cases and 205,393 Deaths - Worldometer

What does our President say about all this? “By the way, we’re rounding the corner. We’re rounding the corner on the virus,” Trump told reporters and the American people during a recent news conference.

On Monday, our President told a crowd of his devoted followers in Swanton, Ohio, that the coronavirus "affects virtually nobody" except "elderly people."

It is readily apparent Trump is living in an alternate universe. It is difficult to understand how he could make statements like that. They go way beyond political convenience and border on senility, lack of intelligence as well as lack of awareness.

In the meantime, Trump is endeavoring to kill off his supporters. He held still another political rally yesterday -- this time in Moon Township, PA -- in front of a mask-less, close-knit crowd of adoring admirers. He is holding similar rallies in front mask-less crowds nearly every day now.

I guess he doesn't care how many of his followers become sick and/or hospitalized.

Is he endangering the health and well-being of his supporters to prove a point? Before answering, study the source provided at the beginning of this post.

Never could figure out what was wrong with Obama's statement. He was telling the truth.

It is called reality. I know Trump's fans have a difficult time with that concept. They prefer fantasy.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Socialism is just feudalism wrapped in a pretty bow then sold to the stupid. The promise that if you give up liberty and indenture yourself to the ruling elite, they will care for you is the same paradigm offered slaves. Plantation masters provided room, board and healthcare to the slaves, just as democrats promise now.

The desire for socialism is the desire to be a serf, it is the province of idiots.

The lies you tell about Trump are particularly ironic in light of the fact that Obama was in Putin's hip pocket.

Remember Obama telling Putin's vice president that he would have more flexibility after the election lol. So after the election obama would give putin what he wanted lol.

Direct question......why did Obama tell medvedev to tell putin that he would have more flexibility after the election?

Does russia, an oil based economy, benefit from the US producing more oil?

Does Russia, our enemy, benefit from a rebuilt military?

Only ignorant gullible sheeple with the mind of second graders could possibly fall for the horse crap the media is selling. That putin wants trump, considering that Hillary and now biden would gut the military and stop US oil production. Oil prices would rise and our enemy would have a crappy military to focus on. Will your brain allow you to understand what i just explained? You are being lied to. Obama, Biden, and Hillary would appease every putin request. After all Hillary helped a Russian company obtain 1/3 of our uranium production. So she was in putins pocket.

Bull crap that was caused but governement loaning money for mortgages to unqualified borrowers. It led to private lenders fighting to compete by lowering standards as well. Soon the bubble busted. It was government that caused it.

Yes, and who didn't do the regulating? You got it; your (republican) government in the case of 2007.

 

[bongsaway]

I keep hearing that argument and, frankly, it's at a point where we're talking about a distinction without a difference. If the role of government is to be the regulation of business to such an extent that the owners have little to no autonomy in the decision making and then to tax business profits to an extent that the owners have little to no economic benefit then that is de facto government ownership. It's the equivalent of sitting in the back seat of the family car on a road trip to Chicago with your finger half an inch from your brother's nose and boldly proclaiming that you're not touching him.

So tell us if you keep hearing the same argument, or better yet show us where any dem on here has said they want the government to own mcdonald's. Just one will do. These crazy arguments you and other make are only to tell each other, no dem thinks the way you think we do. Government owning mcdonald's, give us a break.

I'm a taxpayer. When I pay taxes, I understand that I owe them, just like everybody else who pays them.

I don't pretend that they're still mine after I've paid them.

If I did that, I'd be deluding myself, and I prefer to live in reality.
