Allow me to sum up what leftwing economic goals are

[Billy000]

Whatever bullshit claims you or anyone else might make about what “leftwing economic goals” might be, we are now seeing the reality of what leftwing policies create.

So leftwing American policy is the reason why inflation is high all over the world?

 

[Billy000]

OK, NK, USSR, Cambodia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Communist China, Argentina of yore. You want more?

FFS, they were all premised on the OP's wishes.

It is not our first rodeo.

So wanting to make sure no one making 40 hours a week is impoverished is a Zimbabwe thing?

 

[petro]

could easily cut defense spending

Let's start with the 40 billion going to Ukraine's defense.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Where are you getting the ridiculous idea that only homeless people are poor? Just because being homeless is better than being poor with a home does not somehow mean it is the only measure of poverty.

Go to a few third world dumps and then come back here.

1) Policy to work towards anyone working 40 hours a week is not living in poverty.

2) Unions to ensure good compensation and benefits.

3) Ending the ridiculous loopholes that allows the wealthy and corporations to not pay taxes. See, the OFFICIAL tax rate that corporations are supposed to pay is not the EFFECTIVE tax rate they actually pay.

4) Improving US infrastructure. It’s something that republicans agree with yet they won’t give democrats credit for it even though Biden passed signature legislation for it.

Now I’m not suggesting that democrats in office are doing enough for the above, but they are still goals progressive voters want.

Notice how none of the above has anything to do with ending capitalism or able bodied adults just mooching off the government full time.

55 Corporations Paid $0 in Federal Taxes on 2020 Profits

At least 55 of the largest corporations in America paid no federal corporate income taxes in their most recent fiscal year despite enjoying substantial pretax profits in the United States. This continues a decades-long trend of corporate tax avoidance by the biggest U.S. corporations, and it...

Profound Ignorance

 

[jwoodie]

I already gave you the source about what corporations effectively pay. You’re not getting anything else because 1) it doesn’t matter for me to name these loopholes and deductions if they clearly exist either way and 2) Your dumbass demands sources but never provides your own. It is childish, stupid, and you should feel embarrassed.

Childish and stupid Profound Ignorance

Try again without moving the goal post, clown

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Never said anything about them being identical. Youre just making shit up.

Then why are you whining that they aren't?
You know why no one ever pays the "official rate", right?

Spell it out.

You can work 80 hours a week in a socialist shithole and still be impoverished. That's the primary reason they're shitholes.

But only you are making this about Zimbabwe lol. I said absolutely nothing about it being better there.

Zimbabwe was just one of several socialist shitholes I listed because some snowflake took umbrage at my mention of Venezuela.

Well I didn’t mention that country either. Of course you should know that Venezuela has a private economy. You republicans like to think it’s completely socialist but it actually isn’t.

Well 1, 2, 3 and 4 are full of rampant Dem corruption.

Leftwing policies FUEL inflation, period. Now grow a pair of balls and accept responsibility for leftwing policies you gutless cowards.

If you can find the clean end of a turd, put sprinkles on it and call it Democratic Socialism.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Obozo in his first year in office talked about shovel ready infrastructure jobs being a top priority of his agenda. Two terms in office and he did nothing.
A dozen years later and the Democrats are back in office with Biden and they're still talking about addressing the country's infrastructure problems. ...

IHTM - Obama admits there were no “shovel ready jobs,” ...ihatethemedia.com › home › obama admits there were no “shovel ready jobs,” krauthammer pounces
October 14, 2010 - by editor on October 14, 2010 After all his talk about “shovel ready jobs,” President Obama admitted yesterday that there really never were any shovel ready projects nor any shovel ready jobs. Does that surprise you? It shouldn’t. We’re willing to bet this guy’s never owned a shovel.

Lol I never said Venezuela was democratic socialism.

So for this logic to make any sense, inflation would be a problem globally all the time.

Many civilized countries have a much lower inflation rate than we do.
