I am a socialist... Always Democratic Fair capitalism with a good safety net like every other successful country. You dupes think socialism is communism. Communism means dictatorship that owns everything. You are a brainwashed functional moron. Why don't you throw in fascist 2 like most dupe idiots... Well at least you're in the rich white party, doofus.You are a perfect chump of the greedy idiot Mega Rich GOP. Reagan ism only works with huge debts and defense spending. The 1% are so bloated now it's ridiculous. And all they produce is minimum wage life is impossible crap jobs. The country is is dying 4 a Giant Non rich tax cut, a big hike on the rich, and investment in America. You are an idiot.What today's conservatives don't (or refuse to) see is that wealth disparity has a fairly finite shelf life.Offering a solution means that a problem must have that need. There is no problem with most of us on who has what. I don't care what somebody else makes. It's none of my business and it's none of yours. Worry about what you make--not what other people make.
As more wealth & influence concentrates itself into a smaller and smaller percentage of the populace, the odds increase that there will be a pushback. It's just human nature, and it sure as hell isn't a tough sell. At some point, the lower strata are going to revolt, and that will manifest at the ballot box. A Libertarian laissez faire approach to wealth makes sense theoretically, but not in real life. Ultimately, people will revolt.
Another thing that today's conservatives don't (or refuse to) see is that, within a capitalist system, there will always be people who have a lesser capacity to create wealth. There will always be people who are simply built to work within it at a higher level. Okay, great. But the issue I point out above, remains.
Remember how fired up the Regressive Left got the Trump base, the role they played in helping him get elected by calling you stupid deplorables? Well, that backfired on them in 2016, didn't it? Calling people lazy freeloaders has pretty much the same effect in the opposite direction. So it's up to you.
,
I'm not worried too much because the lazy freeloaders never voted Republican in the first place. Lazy freeloaders are Democrats.
The deplorable remark insulted a much wider group of people. For instance, if a female was planning to vote for Hillary because she wanted to see the first female President, but agreed with Trump on many issues, Hillary basically insulted her. Or perhaps people who were on the fence and unsure of who they were going to vote for. Hillary made that decision easy for them.
So here is the way our society works:
People produce goods and services. They sell those goods and services for a profit. When somebody expands their services into let's say a franchise, or has such a good product everybody wants what that producer is making, the producers become the wealthy.
If people revolted, what would they be revolting for? As I pointed out to Joe, the wealthy didn't come in our home when we were working and take our money, we freely gave it to them; we gave it to them in exchange for a product or service we desired to have.
I'm happy to give the one percent my money. Why? Because look at all the things the one-percent create to make my life easier in exchange for my money. I love this internet. I love my Apple computer in spite of it's age. I love my 80" television set and the remote start on my car. I love my cell phone and it's ability to keep me connected to the internet while I'm away from home. I love my lawn tractor that I'll be using next week sometime. I love stopping at McDonald's for breakfast on the weekends. I love the joys of what the one-percent bring to me.
Why would I revolt? Who would I be protesting against, myself? I helped make and maintain the one-percent.
And you are a commie Socialist.
