Why do Republicans bash socialism - when it's all around them?

[Ame®icano]

Lol
Keynesian economics are Proven to be a total failure, Sick motherfuckers That believe in them need to be weeded out...

haha yea, is that why everyone in the leadership quickly turns into a Keynesian as soon as shit hits the fan?

No, the reason folks in power turn to Keynesian-ism, is b/c it is convenient. Those economists will tell folks in power what ever they want to hear to make their base feel good. It is about power and winning elections, not about reality with them.

Yes, helping an economy in distress is politically convenient...but good idea too.

Especially if you're in control of government and can decide how that help gets distributed!

So?

American public infrastructure is in big part centrally planned....therefore bad?

American public infrastructure is in big part centrally planned....therefore socialism?

Socialism is taxpayer funds being used collectively to benefit society as a whole, despite income, contribution, or ability.

Sounds horrible, huh?

Well I hate to be the one to tell you, but Socialism, which you have been told to fear all your life, is responsible for all this...

1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.

2. Highways/Roads - Those roads and highways you drive on every single day are completely taxpayer funded. Your tax dollars are used to maintain, expand, and preserve our highways and roads for every one's use. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany's autobahn and implemented the idea right here in America. That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away.

3. Public Libraries - Yes. That place where you go to check out books from conservative authors telling you how horrible socialism is, is in fact socialism. Libraries are taxpayer funded. You pay a few bucks to get a library card and you can read books for free for the rest of your life.

4. Police - Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?

5. Fire Dept. - Hopefully you have never had a fire in your home. But if you have, you probably called your local taxpayer-funded fire department to put the fire out. Like police, this is state socialism. You tax dollars are used to rescue your entire community in case of a fire. It use to be set up where you would pay a fee every month to the fire dept. for their service. If you didn't pay, they let your house burn down. Sadly, a man from Tennessee had this exact situation happen to him in 2011 because he didn't pay his $75.00 fee. I guess that small town in Tennessee would rather let people's houses burn down that resort to evil socialism. So don't take for granted the fact that you have a 24/7 fire dept. to put out your burning home thanks to socialism.

You need to look up the definition of socialism

Because none of what you posted is correct

Government is literally socialism in action.

You're literally a moron.

 

[Ame®icano]

The same way Finland does, oh wait............Finland is going broke, aren't they? LMOA

But Sweden,Norway and Denmark are not...so...

They're changing policies. Refugees and social programs are becoming too expensive and not sustainable.

Norway has largest sovereign wealth fun in the world (worth cca $1 trillion), but government is in huge debt. To resolve it, they're trying to get their hands on sovereign fund, and got voted down every single time. The result, cutting social programs and immigration.

Noooo, that's racisssss.

Men have arguments not the gossip of ad hominems.

 

[danielpalos]

if the right wing didn't appeal to ignorance, they would have no arguments at all.

 

[Markle]

Does anyone think that American socialism is the same as Venezuelan socialism? Why or why not?

it is about management not labels.

And ownership...

We subscribe to Capitalism for the metrics. Our form of socialism includes eminent domain, for the Good of The State.

As you know, eminent domain is for the benefit of the citizens.

we subscribe to Capitalism.

 

[danielpalos]

a market friendly price, is all that is required under capitalism.

 

[Ame®icano]

So you can't defend not giving the definition and posting it. Didn't think you could.

Government is social-ism in action.

Go ahead and show us the definition, we are still waiting.

Socialism defined.

Example #1 All 4 of Al Gore's kids go to Harvard while his supporters go to a crappy community college somewhere.

Example #2 Obama family purchases 15 million, 8000 square foot water front property at Martha's Vineyard. But, his supporters must conserve and live with the AC set at 82 degrees and eat with a paper fork to support conservation.

Many more examples.

That is how socialism works. You make the sacrifices because you are not royalty and only a few can enjoy that privilege.

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

You can repeatedly post a link, your parents must be real proud of you.

I claim it. You have to come up with arguments refuting it not simply claim you don't believe me because I haven't been plagiarizing.

You can claim any bullshit you want, it doesn’t make it true. If you make a claim, you need to defend your argument. That is how it works. Thanks for admitting you have no link to support it. Quit trolling.

it is a self-evident truth. want to argue about it?

So is that you're moron. No argument about it.

"you didnt build that" was referring to roads and bridges.
Keep things in context. "that" could be anything if unspecified.
"that" is public infrastructure.

Of course not, but that is your goal. See Sen. Bernie Sanders.

In my opinion, our American Democratic Socialism is the only thing that keeps capitalism from destroying us.

Congress is supposed to be promoting the general welfare whenever possible.

Promote it. Run the wellness ad in the paper.

 

[danielpalos]

Metadata for the general welfare not the general warfare!

 

[Ame®icano]

YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!

Fuck off, Marxist swine.

"you didnt build that" was referring to roads and bridges.
Keep things in context. "that" could be anything if unspecified.
"that" is public infrastructure.

No, commie in chief was referring to business.



So let me repeat it: Fuck off, Marxist swine!

That video clearly shows that he's referring to roads and bridges in the context of "you didnt build that".

Granted, Obama wasnt speaking carefully.

And only you got that message. Find the video of the whole speech (45 minutes).

He was talking about business owners. He said what he believes, that business owners owe their success to government investment in infrastructure and other projects. His message cant be clearer than "if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that."

our alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror are nothing but, command economics.

 

[Papageorgio]

lol. we could have solved simple poverty Yesterday, but there is simply "too much social horror for the right wing to bear."

Then why didn't you?

What is "social horror"?

Since President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty began, how much have we reduced the rate of poverty?

Because their answers don't work. Look at the mess the left wings have made of west coast cities. I haven't been to downtown San Francisco or Los Angeles in quite a few years, however Portland and Seattle are just plain disgusting. Homelessness, camps on almost every block in the downtown area, riots, garbage strewn all over, the smell of pot and urine, people crossing the streets with no regard to traffic. I have heard that Los Angeles and San Francisco are worse. Those cities are starting to lose revenue for conventions because they don't feel that people would be safe in those cities, which mirrors, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans and Detroit.

I provided arguments in several posts. You kept repeating over and over: "Government is socialism".

I guess you're right, you're not a man, just a troll.

...maybe in right wing fantasy you have provided arguments. I keep repeating what you have to refute, not simply reject. that is "how i keep my place in arguments."
