So You Hate Socialism.......

[Uncensored2008]

And if socialized medicine is so bad, why does the rest of the world have it? Everyone sees how America does it and no one else wants to try it our way.

And Canada and Germany were number 1&3 on the best countries in the world list, so they can't say "America is the best" because we aren't anymore.

This is a huge social safety net. Americans can save for retirement and have it all wiped away in a day if you get sick.

Two other things that shouldn't be privatized but are in America. Prisons and our elections. We trust corporations too much.

Corporations are not our enemy but never forget they aren't our friends.

That must be why so many people travel from the USA to Canada for medical treatment.

Oh wait, no one does that, thousands of Canadians come to America for the superior care we offer.

Silly Bonobo, let me explain this in a way a chimp like you can grasp.

Two chefs make pots of soup. They both have savory broth with lots of vegetables and diced chicken. Each has two gallons. Both chef C and chef U have enough soup to feed about 10 people. There are 100 people who want soup, but only 10 are willing to pay for it.

The government says the soup is a human right, and the chef C must give his soup to everyone or go to prison. So chef C adds 20 gallons of water and gives soup to all.

Chef U adds no water and sells his soup to those who are willing to pay for it.

Which is the better soup?

You say chef C, because no one should pay for soup. Sure, the soup is watery and tasteless, but everyone gets some, eventually.

But chef A serves a soup with integrity, that tastes and has the nutrition that was intended. It is vastly superior, but only those who are willing to pay get it.

Canada has vastly inferior care, monkey boi. They spread the same resources across a wider field meaning that everyone gets less care. The USA has much better care, but that care is given to those who can or will pay. You point to illegal aliens and indigents and shriek "NO FAIR, they get less." and then claim Canada is "better" because the lowest segments get the same watered down gruel as the productive.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Rebuttal is not just a word, try it sometime ES.

"Credibility" is a word.

You simply don't have it.

The rich in Canada come here for better service and treatment. They have more options than the average American. Sorry but your analogy is bad. Only rich Canadians come here for treatment and they pay out the ying yang. They also get in to see the doctor quicker than you do, Mr. American dumbass.

The average Canadian likes their healthcare and its pretty much just like yours, only free. No Canadian has to worry about cancer wiping out their life savings but we do here in America.

 

[sealybobo]

We have the best healthcare if you can afford it. What if you can't? Canada doesn't have to worry about that. Germany, Australia, no one. And their healthcare isn't VASTLY worse than ours. That's just American exceptionalism bullshit.

 

[Ernie S.]

Daily Kos???? Really?

Rebuttal is not just a word, try it sometime ES.

October 26 and you just now thought of a reply? Good job!

 

[Uncensored2008]

The rich in Canada come here for better service and treatment.

As do the middle in Canada.

What socialism does is drop everything to the lowest common denominator.

They have more options than the average American. Sorry but your analogy is bad. Only rich Canadians come here for treatment and they pay out the ying yang. They also get in to see the doctor quicker than you do, Mr. American dumbass.

Bullshit.

They have no options, which is why those who can afford quality care go across the border to get it.

The average Canadian likes their healthcare and its pretty much just like yours, only free. No Canadian has to worry about cancer wiping out their life savings but we do here in America.

Hardly "free" chimp. That the government owns the means for production doesn't alter the reality that there are costs associated.

Canada severely limits the care that is provided. Antibiotics for an infection or other simple things are done fine. Your chance of seeing doctor, someone with a medical degree, are slim to none in Canada. What you will see is a technician who will follow a script from the computer. Provided the medical issue is in the parameters of the script, the treatment will work. Anything out of the ordinary and you're fucked, though.

Now America is well down this same path, not as bad but getting there. It was headed this way before Fascistcare, but has accelerated.

The biggest problem America has with healthcare is lawyers. Get lawyers out of medicine and costs will plummet. The reasons are way beyond your educational and intellectual scope, but the one advantage that Canada has is that no one can sue for malpractice. No greedy shyster looking for a deep pockets payday can drive unneeded services and absurd premiums.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

So we hear so many Americans claim they hate socialism and don't think Bernie Sanders would have a chance to win if he were selected as the Democratic candidate. I wonder how many truly understand socialism and are even enjoying socialism without even realizing it.

The one that really surprises me is the military......conservatives claim they love the military and don't mind the bulk of our tax-payer money going toward maintaining it....the military, it's the closest to socialism of the many programs we support.


Socialism.

There is nothing more feared and hated in America.

The word alone sends shivers down the spine of the American people.

Those three syllables conger up images of Big Brother Government ruling over us all, telling us what to eat, wear, buy, and think. Our children in national uniform being indoctrinated with propaganda in government education camps that use to be schools, turning them into little slaves. While their parents work twelve hour shifts in the concentration camp that slaughters rich successful billionaires, as the poor and needy get a million dollars a month in welfare. A murderous government waging a war against freedom and liberty to gain complete control over everyone and everything.
They imagine the USSR and how Democrats are turning America into it because our government will give money to poor people so they don't starve to death. (Giving money to billion dollar corporations is NOT socialism somehow. You would be a communist and a hippie to think otherwise.)

This is scary stuff!

And it's about to get scarier, because I have some terrifying news for you....

Socialism is alive and well in America and it has been here for a very long time!

Oh, that's not all. it gets much worse! I hope your sitting down...

As it turns out, You love socialism and you use it everyday, and you may not even know it! It may have even saved your life. I know, this is bad...


1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.

2. Highways/Roads - Those roads and highways you drive on every single day are completely taxpayer funded. Your tax dollars are used to maintain, expand, and preserve our highways and roads for every one's use. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany's autobahn and implemented the idea right here in America. That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away.

3. Public Libraries - Yes. That place where you go to check out books from conservative authors telling you how horrible socialism is, is in fact socialism. Libraries are taxpayer funded. You pay a few bucks to get a library card and you can read books for free for the rest of your life.

4. Police - Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?

5. Fire Dept. - Hopefully you have never had a fire in your home. But if you have, you probably called your local taxpayer-funded fire department to put the fire out. Like police, this is state socialism. You tax dollars are used to rescue your entire community in case of a fire. It use to be set up where you would pay a fee every month to the fire dept. for their service. If you didn't pay, they let your house burn down. Sadly, a man from Tennessee had this exact situation happen to him in 2011 because he didn't pay his $75.00 fee. I guess that small town in Tennessee would rather let people's houses burn down that resort to evil socialism. So don't take for granted the fact that you have a 24/7 fire dept. to put out your burning home thanks to socialism.

6. Postal Service - Like having mail delivered directly to your front door and paying next to nothing to send mail anywhere you want? Well it's all made possible by socialism.

7. Student Loans and Grants - Did you go to College? If you did, you family might not have been rich enough to pay your way through. So you got your education anyway through student loans and grants from the federal government at taxpayer expense. Of course you have to pay back the loans, but if not the government, did you know anyone else who was going to lend you tens of thousands of dollars? Probably not. So the taxpayers lent you the money and you paid it back with slight interest. The government grants you accepted were gifts from the taxpayer and the federal government that you did not have to pay back. Socialism got you through school.

Canada and Germany don't have the dynamic of underclasses putting the squeeze on the money. Germany's working on it, however, with their influx of muslim refugees.

Don't worry about the rich in America. If everyone has basic coverage, they will have above average coverage.

This is the biggest bunch of horse shit and biggest reach I've ever read. There's no other way to put it. It's the governments role to provide for the common defense for rather painfully obvious reasons. It's not the governments role to make other people pay for someone else's college bills or whatever other shit you want to throw in there.

You're a little late for the party........were you in some coma? If left to the Republican conservatives all we would have in this country is the military and everyone would have their guns on their hips defending themselves.....we'd be no better than Somalia. No thank you.....if you don't like our country with its beautiful parks and the services of the police and firemen....and properly maintained roads and bridges, go to Somalia and let the rest of us who aren't greedy and ignorant continue to enjoy these benefits.

While their parents work twelve hour shifts in the concentration camp that slaughters rich successful billionaires, as the poor and needy get a million dollars a month in welfare. A murderous government waging a war against freedom and liberty to gain complete control over everyone and everything.
They imagine the USSR and how Democrats are turning America into it because our government will give money to poor people so they don't starve to death. (Giving money to billion dollar corporations is NOT socialism somehow. You would be a communist and a hippie to think otherwise.)

This is scary stuff!

And it's about to get scarier, because I have some terrifying news for you....

Socialism is alive and well in America and it has been here for a very long time!

Oh, that's not all. it gets much worse! I hope your sitting down...

As it turns out, You love socialism and you use it everyday, and you may not even know it! It may have even saved your life. I know, this is bad...


1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.

2. Highways/Roads - Those roads and highways you drive on every single day are completely taxpayer funded. Your tax dollars are used to maintain, expand, and preserve our highways and roads for every one's use. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany's autobahn and implemented the idea right here in America. That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away.

3. Public Libraries - Yes. That place where you go to check out books from conservative authors telling you how horrible socialism is, is in fact socialism. Libraries are taxpayer funded. You pay a few bucks to get a library card and you can read books for free for the rest of your life.

4. Police - Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?

5. Fire Dept. - Hopefully you have never had a fire in your home. But if you have, you probably called your local taxpayer-funded fire department to put the fire out. Like police, this is state socialism. You tax dollars are used to rescue your entire community in case of a fire. It use to be set up where you would pay a fee every month to the fire dept. for their service. If you didn't pay, they let your house burn down. Sadly, a man from Tennessee had this exact situation happen to him in 2011 because he didn't pay his $75.00 fee. I guess that small town in Tennessee would rather let people's houses burn down that resort to evil socialism. So don't take for granted the fact that you have a 24/7 fire dept. to put out your burning home thanks to socialism.

6. Postal Service - Like having mail delivered directly to your front door and paying next to nothing to send mail anywhere you want? Well it's all made possible by socialism.

7. Student Loans and Grants - Did you go to College? If you did, you family might not have been rich enough to pay your way through. So you got your education anyway through student loans and grants from the federal government at taxpayer expense. Of course you have to pay back the loans, but if not the government, did you know anyone else who was going to lend you tens of thousands of dollars? Probably not. So the taxpayers lent you the money and you paid it back with slight interest. The government grants you accepted were gifts from the taxpayer and the federal government that you did not have to pay back. Socialism got you through school.

75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America

You do realize that things like the military, roads, police, fire dept, etc existed thousands of years before anyone ever even coined the word "socialist"? Your thread is fucking stupid because its based on retard logic. Go read some books you fucking yokel.

Bwahahaha....what an idiot. Just because they didn't call it socialism doesn't mean it wasn't. Boy, another stupid one giving his two-cents. Thanks for proving yet again the ignorance from wrong-wing.....I bet you support Trump, too!

So we hear so many Americans claim they hate socialism and don't think Bernie Sanders would have a chance to win if he were selected as the Democratic candidate. I wonder how many truly understand socialism and are even enjoying socialism without even realizing it.

The one that really surprises me is the military......conservatives claim they love the military and don't mind the bulk of our tax-payer money going toward maintaining it....the military, it's the closest to socialism of the many programs we support.


Socialism.

There is nothing more feared and hated in America.

The word alone sends shivers down the spine of the American people.

There is no god damn way you have an IQ above 70. That has got to be the dumbest fucking counter debate ive ever heard.

As to be expected some nut claims the bulk of tax payer money goes to the military without knowing shit or spending the time to research where the bulk of taxes paid by those that work go.

Thank you for proving once again how ignorant conservatives are.........you're the one that doesn't know shit about where our tax money goes, idiot.

Whats the problem with military spending? I thought you said "the military is socilialism".

The military is the closest program to socialism than any of the others in the United States. I don't have a problem with military spending....we're a military family...I was just pointing out to the bozo that this country does spend more on the military than any other program, he was stating that it didn't. If you had read his post you might have figured it out....or not..

Unless a socialist invented a particular thing, you cant claim it to be a socialist idea. Its quite simple. I mean, i could do the same thing with capitalism... every thing that is man made and sold in the world is a capitalist idea. Clothing, groceries, the money that socilialists want to take from us, technology, modern medicine, schools, homes, skyscrapers, roads, trains, bottled water, the keyboard you are using to type your nonsense... i could literally go on forever. Your position is absurd.
