The Joys Of Socialism

[RDD_1210]

And they all suck.

Yet you said Singapore is good. Can't make up your mind?

You people literally contradict yourselves with every statement you make.

Exposing you rubes for the morons you are isn't even a challenge anymore. The key is...just ask for your opinion and watch the hypocrisy flow like the nile.

Yeah we're all hypocrites and ignoramuses. Now will you get lost?

Waaaah, you've all been exposed and you can't handle it. I think I'll stick around and continue to point out how hypocritical and idiotic you all are.

The thing is, when all healthcare is private it will be more efficient and way cheaper because of free market competition. Nowadays, only wealthy people can afford healthcare because there's not enough competition between hospitals and insurers. When a big healthcare market starts everyone can afford it plus the fact that not everyone has to pay high taxes to invest in the expensive and bureaucratic public healthcare.

 

[Ame®icano]

What makes you think Singapore's system is a failure?
You are getting pwned yet again here because you want to play gotcha but don't have the smarts to do it. So you put words in my mouth and then claim you caught me saying something contradictory. It's like being in 8th grade again.

It's not a failure, but they're not socialist state neither.

So would you be in favor of the Singapore healthcare system being used here?

Not at all. Their system can work in US only if government take control over health care industry. Plus, they don't have illegal immigrants there that additionally overwhelm the system.

Every single industrialized nation has a more socialized system than we do. Every single one.

And they all suck.

I said Singapore is the most free country in the world. That doesn't mean I endorse every single one of their government policies and regulations.

If it wasn't for logical fallacies, would you have any arguments at all?

I asked which was most successful and you said Singapore. When I pointed out that a country can be successful, by your standards, and still have socialist policies you bailed out like the bitch you are.

You should quit trying to commit logic because you have repeatedly demonstrated your utter inability to do so.

The fact that Singapore is the most successful country doesn't mean everyone of its policies is ideal. You can't seem to get that through your thick skull. I haven't said that I approve of everything the Singapore government does. Repeat that to yourself over and over until it penetrates.

They can't. It's impossible. They literally cannot summarize what you write without distorting it.

But you have deemed it successful and major portions of their society being "socialist" in nature haven't doomed them. So, I guess a society can survive and, according to you, do well even with major elements of socialism in place.

Time for more back peddling, turnip.

I said the freer a society is, the better it does. Nothing you've posted contradicts that. Socialism is a blood sucking tick on the neck of society.

Venezuela news, all the latest and breaking Venezuela news - Telegraph

 

[georgephillip]

"For most of the past 13 years, most of the discussion of Venezuela’s economy has either assumed or
concluded that it was headed for some type of collapse. During the first four years of the Chávez
administration, when the government did not control the national oil company (PDVSA), there was
indeed a great deal of economic instability. This culminated in the military coup of April 2002, and
then an economically crippling oil strike (December 2002-February 2003). The oil strike caused an
extremely severe recession, with a loss of 29 percent of GDP. However, even after the strike was
over, analysts predicted a dire future and a slow, difficult recovery. International Monetary Fund
(IMF) forecasts repeatedly underestimated GDP growth by a gigantic 10.6, 6.8, and 5.8 percentage
points for the years 2004-2006.
1
"Instead, the recovery was very rapid and the economy grew at a
record pace over the next five years, with real GDP nearly doubling from the end of the oil strike
(first quarter 2003) through the fourth quarter of 2008.

Me like charts as well.

Geaux4 -- you need to look at the contraction of NET assets in the corporate world to understand how profits are being increased.. If BofA closed 25% of their branches, their profits would go up. So when they BUY 2 or 3 competitors and hack away at their overhead and SELL OFF duplication -- the profits rise.. Conslidation and shrinkage is the reason for profits today.. And thats what companies do in times of economic uncertainty and too much regulation..
