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.

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.
 

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?

Slogans are fun. Most are utter nonsense, but still fun.

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:

Here's How They Missed the Early Clues of the Financial Crisis

The 2007 financial crisis is when banks stopped trusting each other. This timeline includes early warning signs and steps taken.

You clearly have, (a) no idea what you're talking about and, (b) have no idea what constitutes Communism.

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.

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.

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.

Obama was and is Putin's bitch.

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

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.
 
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.
