Germany is not an economic powerhouse? Man, just like most 'Conservatives' you are totally out of touch with reality.Nope, and they aren't economic powerhouses either! The reason for that? Because they are Social democracies!
Who here wants to look like Europe, signify with a "I do, I do."
If Europe was sooooooooooooo wonderful, why they never would have come here, now would they. Did you see all those Americans going over to Europe in the 40s, 50s, and 60s? No, why not? Oh wait, I am wrong, forgive me-( We actually DID see a lot of Americans going over to Europe; American soldiers, to save Europes ass from European born NAZISM, FACISM, and COMMUNISM.
And what did Europe send to us as their gift? Why Fabian Socialism, the degrowth movement known far and wide as environmentalism, the welfare state, outrageous taxes, and out of sight fuel prices. And what is the NUMBER ONE argument that lefties use for these policies? "Europe does it, and so should we." See, FABIAN SOCIALISM. I know it, they know it, but better yet, YOU know it. And if you allow these idiots to turn us into Europe, then welcome to the end of the grand experiment that kicked everyones rearend, and now we can be like........oh I don't know, lets pick one...........France. Polly-vu-screw-you- lefties.
Neither socialism or capitalism is successful by itself. Both have fatal internal flaws. However, using each as a tool, rather than a religion, and you get a successful system. National Parks, public libraries, public education, military, FDA, CDC, and the other alphabet soup agencies that regulate and protect us, are all socialist institutions. Businesses from the multi-nationals to the mom and pop grocery are capitalist institutions.
You don't like parts of the mix, that is what elections are about. You want to drown the government in a bathtub, go to Somalia. That is where you belong.
Capitalism and Socialism can work together but Capitalism must be greater......otherwise, who pays for Socialism??
Ask about who saved the Banksters (capitalism didn't work very well there) Oh right, it was socialism saving capitalism
Bush: ‘I’ve Abandoned Free Market Principles To Save The Free Market System’
It was Capitalism that afforded him to make that statement. Think boy.
You mean the thing that almost collapsed the worlds economies?
You are not thinking. You are attacking because you hate Capitalism.
