Explaining Socialism to a Republican

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The Declaration was a form of propaganda and had no legal force.

Of course only a scummy treasonous stupid liberal would say that. The Declaration reversed 100,000 years of human history in a second. Like the birth of Christ it was a huge and monumental leap forward.

So what was the purpose of the Declaration of Independence?

To reverse 100,000 years of human history in a second. Like the birth of Christ it was a huge and monumental leap forward.

dear, Americans are the richest people in the history of the world and oddly we've had the most capitalism.

people with mental illnesses don't usually participate in the capitalist system. See why we say slow?

Perhaps the 'mentally ill' should read this.

The good news is that they both pay the same federal corporate rate, which is the highest in the free world.

yes, you either pay the highest tax rate in the world or move out of the country to avoid them. In their zeal to punish corporations liberals collect little corporate taxes in the end while driving corporations and jobs off shore.

To compile the pure ignorance liberals lack the IQ to know that any corporate tax is just an expense that is is passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

My guess is that his capital investments, acquisitions and other deferring considerations fall fairly well short of AT&T.

The good news is that they both pay the same federal corporate rate, which is the highest in the free world.

Except nobody pays tax rates. We pay effective tax rates.

My trust is a corporation. The actual tax rate is 4%. Thank You Republicans!

Is that the tax rate in La-La Land?

Explaining Socialism:

I wants what you got - gimme dat.

Socialist ideals help the middle class prosper.

They do nothing of the sort. They reduce the growth rate of the economy and thereby impoverish everyone.

That STILL begs the same question, where did it go. 100 billion buys a shit ton of infrastructure.

You do know that $100 billion is only $25.00 per mile of roadway in the US, right? Seems we may need $100 trillion.

The federal government doesn't maintain all the roads in the United States, only the interstates. There are 37,000 miles of Interstate highways. $100 billion is $2.7 million per mile. It probably didn't cost that much to build in the first place.

Four percent on what?

Do you like police, fire fighters and clean water? Well, you're a socialist! See it isn't all bad.

WTF? There's good policies and there's bad...Funding police, fire fighters, education, science and infrastructure are all good policies! Are you really going to tell me that they hurt the economy? lol

too stupid if you have a police department it does not mean you are socialist. Where did you get your definition ??? Care to tell us???

dear it is only when you have free market competition that you know if you are using resources and money efficiently. Do you understand?

You wish the rich pay nothing. Are you rich??? Must be nice to fuck over most of the rest of the country and use more of the resources while demanding less of the cost being carried on your back.

I hope you don't use the police or our roads.

dear, the top 1% pay 40% of all federal income tax. In NYC and CA they pay half of city expenses. Do you understand anything??

Do you really want a private business doing your policing? Why even elect a government if they don't do nothing. Talk about anti-freedom as you won't have the slightest say in the matter.

Man you're a fool.

Yes, they do. for one thing, policemen and firemen get paid far too much. They can retire after 10 years on a 100% pension and collect that pension for 30-40 years. Government education makes kids stupid. It's positively detrimental to their welfare. Private corporations can build and maintain Infrastructure a lot cheaper. As we have seen with the global warming scam, government "science" has been corrupted to support political agendas rather then to search for knowledge.

Good question: why even elect a government?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Do you really want a private business doing your policing?.

why not, is policing more intricate or special than building cars or running hospitals?
I'm afraid the point is that liberals lack the IQ to understand capitalism so imagine that a magical liberal govt can run everything. Ever see a liberal say ok the govt is now big enough??

What does that teach you?

 

[OnePercenter]

U.S. effective corporate tax is the 16th lowest among the 20 industrialized nations.

There are two reasons why corporations off-shore:

1) Walk from previously deferred income.

2) To purchase product or equipment and deduct the cost from monies not taxed.

Either way, it screws the U.S. taxpayer.

Is that the tax rate in La-La Land?

Is that what you Canadians are calling the United States of America?

 

[OnePercenter]

It's what pays for and maintains such things as streetlights.

Why don't you go back to where you are supposed to be; The Canadian/Koch pipeline to China.
