A true socialist is always a "have not" person. [I Am a Socialist]

@easterniowegin But government socialism for corporations is fabulous, huh? I do agree the politicians we have now suck. I keep hoping Donnie the Con Man might inject himself with some Clorox.......or maybe get windmill cancer and we can flush him away before November even. But "government controlled services"....welfare and the like are completely preventable and 100% politically caused.

The main Republican bitch is about supporting the needy......socialism. People that wouldn't be on those rolls if it wasn't for a generational political agenda of keeping people poor. If the minimum wage was raised to $15 an hour that would take about 90% of everyone getting assistance of any kind---just barely off of those rolls. Those people then would pay taxes--not just get automatic refunds for not working. But the GOP fight is to make sure the poor always stay poor.

The working poor should NEVER have a pay raise for minimum wage....which means they will NEVER make it without assistance----but as soon as they are forced to ask for it--the bitch is they are lazy people looking for a handout. So the working poor are a perpetual problem because of socialism........and if you elect me I will make sure they don't get a raise------OR help. That---and "OMG there gonna stele ur gunz" is the perennial re-election chat.

As far as what you can get from private business investment vs "government services"---why didn't you send your kids to charter schools? Have you opted out of paying FICA so you can live off of your investments and buy your personal insurance after you retire?? You can do that...but we both bet you haven't, huh?

@easterniowegin If you receive a negative return on your dollar------------you are a stupid investor. I make really good money---up market or down.

@anythingoes477 do you think about your comments before you type them out?
Anyone who is forced to pay into these government scams, are receiving a negative return. Including you.

I most certainly could pay for my kids to go to a charter school, but until I get a voucher to take my allocated tax dollars with me, why in the hell would i pay twice for the single service?? See, this is exactly why libs don't want the voucher system implemented... they know the public education is terrible, and they would eventually watch it erode away as everyone moved to charter schools. Then the government would no longer be involved in education. The market would naturally move away from the government, if it was allowed to.
On a similar manner, do you understand how difficult the government has made it to opt out of social security paycheck deductions?? It's not 100% impossible, but nearly. Smdh. Why even throw that in to your argument? You don't want people to move away from the government and into the private market. That's why it is made to be cost or logistically prohibitive.

Why don't libs act like they understand anything about economics? Why stop at $15/hr for mininum wage? Why not make it $50...or $100??! Because the amount of inflation that accompanies such a hike ultimately makes the wage useless no matter what. The key is NOT raising the wage...it is raising the skillset of the people who have been content to remain at a minimum sillset for that minimum wage. The minimum wage has more than doubled, just in my lifetime. Despite that sort of increase, minimum wage people still suffer. The government cannot lift people out of poverty...they must work to do that themselves.

You still haven't proven any benefits to socialism... "because we have mandated it" doesn't work.

@Picklebobble2 nope. An old-school conservative will always look at women and children first.

@easterniowegin Then shove them out of the way so you can get into the boat first.

@anythingoes477 are you guys projecting your feelings onto me here? I still hold doors open for women. Feminism hasn't ruined that!
