Psaki says it's absurd to think corporations would raise prices for consumers due to higher taxes.

Frederick Hayak said, many years before, if socialists understood economics they wouldn't be socialists.

Just some more lunatic ramblings of the socialist idealists … clueless

@DownTheStreet Socialists don't tax, they seize.

IronHamster · 56-60, M

@QuixoticSoul Most of all, socialists make poor decisions with other people's money.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@IronHamster Maybe, but these aren't socialists, because they're not seizing the means of production.

IronHamster · 56-60, M

@QuixoticSoul Yes. Technically statism comes in different flavors. For instance, Fascists will tell you who to hire, what to pay, what to make, and what to charge. Fascists just are not as honest as socialists about who owns what.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@IronHamster Ah, now they're fascists. You just can't seem to make up your mind.

IronHamster · 56-60, M

@QuixoticSoul I never said they were Fascists, but I see you have identified them as such by the traits I mentioned. Interesting. You may well be right about that.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@IronHamster US establishment is not socialist nor fascist, you have lost all sense of perspective.

@QuixoticSoul

you have lost all sense of perspective.

Assumes facts not in evidence.

Can’t lose something that was never possessed

IronHamster · 56-60, M

@QuixoticSoul So now you are backpedaling on your observation. That's ok. Take time to rethink that.

@IronHamster So we should get rid of the taxpayer funded military and replace it with volunteer citizens militias, because socialism is always bad.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@IronHamster I’m not backpedaling on anything lmao. Psaki and company are not socialists.

@LeopoldBloom Glad to hear you agree socialism is always bad

IronHamster · 56-60, M

@LeopoldBloom I actually like that idea. My Howitzer would not cost me a $200 tax stamp and six months wait per shell, and the government would have a balanced budget, if the people were the military.

@LeopoldBloom You silly man! I thought you were educated. Providing for the general welfare and common defense is not socialism.
I bet you call Scandinavian constitutional monarchies, "socialist" countries too, don't you? They'd probably give you a nose job if you said that to their faces. They are not.

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Oberon1 I think many people understand that, except perhaps your friend up there from the great state of Florida

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Oberon1 I’m glad someone gets this, though of course it tends to lead to the usual conversation.
