The Problem with Socialism

You vote and elect representatives, so you're the govt if you really believe in the american political system. Make a decision.

Wrong. I'm not the government. I would vote against 95% of what's in place if I was the government.


Further suggestion that the american political system does not answer to "the people", but rather concentrated wealth and corporate power - regardless of the party and partisanshit.
It was never designed to answer to the people.

Yup, land holding, titled, privileged white males alone. Even the most hopelessly intransigent poster in this thread woulda been "out".

It provided more freedom and a better standard of living than any other country. So what are you blubbering about?

1. So now the ends justify the means.
2. Better than any other country? Dear God son, you don't hate the media, you swallow-n-follow. Get a job abroad and live somewhere else for a few years, you really need to get out more.
 
There are people who think they could maintain their current standard of living if "the government" were cut in half. Or....laughably....improve their standard of living.

These are funny people who don't understand how things work.

Our standard of living would skyrocket if government was cut in half.

People who think government improves their lives are the ones who don't understand government.

If you really believed that you'd be out in the wilderness off the grid.

Yes, life was so much better when the government didn't regulate food,or drugs, or build roads. Of course the water was unsafe to drink, the food was tainted, and the drugs poison but oh how I long for those good old days.

How electricity grew up? A brief history of the electrical grid…

He won't like this one, it uses words he hates, grow up.

So your story is about how FDR forced poor people living in cities to subsidize electricity for people living in rural areas. And this is supposed to make what point?


FDR saved capitalism in america, just say thank you. We're at the same type of inflection point again and I see no one with his insight that will stave off the eventual wielding of pitch forks. The power structure understands very well it has lost all semblance of legitimacy. That’s why police departments have been militarized.

You are on record wanting NO mandatory taxation.
The word "mandatory" is redundant when put before the word "taxation."

So how does getting rid of taxation make the telephone and the light bulb disappear?
The telephone and the electrical grid for the light bulbs? Both things we paid up or cut deals for. Without the government people would still be going to bed when it got dark.

What does "paid up or cut deals for" mean? The government played no part in the invention of the light bulb or the initial construction of the electrical grid. Government normally gets involved only after a technology has proven itself and is expanding rapidly. Government always wants to horn in on the action.

Pitcairn Island has no government, per se. You can do whatever you please as long as you do not harm anyone. It is the paradise you seem to want, so please for your sake and sanity (it there is any sanity to save) catch the next boat out.
Cuba has your idea of the perfect government, so why don't you emigrate your ugly ass to Cuba?

Cuba? Not, though I'd like to visit and see "my" '57 Chevy still on the road - that would be cool. My dad sold mine when I left on active duty, for (gasp) $125.00

I do have a quesition for you, why do you feel the need to post four, five, six etc. in a row. Does the brain in your ugly ass have so few synapses you can't combine thoughts (thoughts - lol that's an overstatement).

It would rid you of it, no? But you chose society because you want to shit indoors, drive on roads you didn't have to pay for by yourself, you wanted health insurance which is socialism, you wanted city utilizes and water, you know, you just cling to denial because it’s easier than confronting life long held fallacies.

So you can't really articulate it then, 'cause you didn't even read it through, this is just another linkoff/googleoff "so there" kinda thing. Is this the same Heritage Foundation that crafted "obamacare"?
