“Say what you want about the G.O.P., man, but this shit—this was gangster,” Noah said on Tuesday night’s episode of The Daily Show. “They swapped out a Supreme Court seat in four weeks. This whole process—this whole process—in four weeks. It was like watching a chop shop strip down your car for parts. Like, yo, I’ll miss my Audi, but you’ve got to admire their technique.”
Except instead of your Audi it's the supposedly bipartisan lynchpin that holds together your entire nation's legal system. RIP American jurisprudence. -

You DO understand what socialism is, right? Full on socialism would be taking control of industry in the name of the people. It is the abolishment of private property. It's like full out communism or capitalism. The extreme form of it is just unsustainable.
Thankfully we don't have pure, unbridled capitalism. We've got rules, regulations, taxes, etc, that are used to help the people. A lot of policies that already exist are democratic socialist policies.
Democratic socialism is koool with the redistribution of wealth, but not the abolishment of private industry. It's basically like organized hippie anarchy.
Bernie Sanders for example would never try to create a public fund with profits from the oil industry, like Norway did. But he's cool with the redistribution of wealth. He believes that we should be run by a democracy, not 'the people' like full out socialism would mean.
I mean, you're okay with food stamps, right? Disability? Unemployment? Government health insurance? Social security? These are all great institutions that I think improve quality of life for everyone. So what if the wealthy pay more taxes? There are basic human rights that everyone should have, and should be ensured.
Capitalism in America SERIOUSLY needs to be choked. -

Those are all gay, if everyone had more money nobody would need those things. Taxes don't go to that, they go to corruption and helping our greatest ally Israel.
Just look at California, some of the highest taxes in the country and they also have a large homeless population and potholes in all the roads because the money gets wasted, like it always does because politicians are all scumbags. They are just in it for the money to hire their friends to do government work and keep all the money for themselves and you support helping the 1%
At least with business they can't waste the money on stupid shit because it's not financially viable, they have to profit or they go out of business. Capitalism built everything the world has, the internet, computers, cars, technology. Socialism hasn't done anything for anyone. -

Didn't read. I only read posts by people who aren't on welfare.
