I bet you thought you had a point.How much of what other people earn is your fair share?Fudging and defiling the language is what authoritarians and their toadies do.He specifically says "socialist-friendly". The term has clearly changed. It now means including having more "socialist" elements within the capitalist structure.
But boy, that's just too dang complicated.

The mental midgets on the right are the ones that fucked up the language by calling social safety nets socialism.
How much of what other people earn should be spent on bombs?
Recap: In GDP terms, we spend about a third on the military today compared to what we spent in the late 1950s. We spend almost exactly the same on interest on the debt. We spend 20 percent less on energy, transportation, the environment, and natural resources. And we spend almost four times as much on welfare. Again, that is in GDP terms, and our economy is a heck of a lot bigger than it was in 1957. As a share of all federal spending, welfare has gone from 23 percent of spending to 73 percent of federal spending. In constant-dollar terms, we spend 17.5 times as much. In nominal-dollar terms, we spend 150 times as much.
Fuck the national review. Of course those warmongers would try and justify more money spent on American interventionism. These are the same people that hope rural communities would just hurry up and die.
