Crony capitalism is just socialism lite

YEs you have as you will not condemn obomacare and admit it is horrid..

And no you never said that til now. But Obamacare and Foxxcon would the same as well, based on your logic..

Because one has solid plan (sustainability) and the other never really had one (even Bush rejected Solyndra). Just that the far left big donors would make millions on this, even knowing it would fail.
In order to condemn Obamacare I would have to feel like I know what the answer is. I have said it didn't fix out problems. But I don't know what the answer is, do you? Tell me what we can do? Republicans have no answer.

Exactly you will not condemn it, being far left will not allow you do so.

And the far left posting over and over say republicans have no answer is another far left debunked talking point.

So you see you are ok with things as long as it is far left and you can blame anyone with an (R) next to their name..
If it is debunked then please tell me how we will fix healthcare. The costs continue to skyrocket.

I see you still avoid the question as Obamacare and Foxxcon are the same, by your own standards. Yet you refuse to admit it.

This is the standard far left mindset, they will do all they can to avoid admitting Obamcare as the failure it is.

Although they can not understand why the costs are skyrocketing after allowing the insurance companies, large medical companies and big pharma to write the law.
You keep repeating yourself like a moron.

Obamacare and Foxconn are not the same. Heathcare is not going to fix itself obviously, something needs to be done. If it makes sense for Foxconn to start manufacturing in the the US they are going to come here without the government throwing money at them.

Now again, how are we going to fix healthcare? You seem to think you know so please share.

And now it is a matter of record the far left will never denounce Obamacare.

Even though the far left sets the standards they claim they are not the same, yet they are exactly the same.
 
Our government picks and chooses who wins and who loses...........And the Politicians join the self serving ranks of the millionaires club.
That's the American way, always has been.
It is not supposed to be the way.............Founders wanted a limited gov't for this very reason...........Once we gave Gov't to hand out for anything they please...............well.......now our politicians should have Nascar suits on.
The founders payed the cost of safe passage for merchant vessels passing the Barbary States. It was costing the country a fortune.
Until they built a Navy and created the marines and kicked their asses.
Right, and we have never looked back. The US taxpayer pays to protect private capitalist interests around the globe. You sound happy that the government is picking winners and losers.
And that power was in the original powers................One of the gov'ts primary purposes............but power was to rest in the States........with enumerated powers to the Feds...................Once the common good candy machine opened............the sky was the limit.......and we pay for it now...........

Too much power.......corruption occurs.......at the tax payers expense.

I already said obamacare didn't fix the problem there princess. Your just stupidly repeating yourself over and over.

The power to use a standing military to protect private capitalist interests is in the Constitution?

No you didn't but it is par for the course..

And since the far left will not admit that Obamacare is a failure or the same as the foxxcon deal, it goes down for all time that the far left has nothing but religious narratives.

Next they will be posting the GOP has never offered up an alternative.

You are welcome to go start another obamacare thread. Clearly you just want to stupidly babble about obamacare.

No just using it as example to counter your narrative.

It shows that you came with a specific narrative and it was defeated when Obamacare is thrown in, it fits your OP. Yet you do not think it does!
 
Crony Capitalism..............Football example.

The Government is only supposed to be the Referee..............unbiased..........not taking a side............

But in this game..........they throw penalties against those they choose to lose........giving yards to those they agree with.......

Player catches the ball out of the end zone.............Ref calls touch down anyway.........because the Ref has already decided the winner.......the loser might as well go home..........the game is rigged...............

I'm not twisting it really. The US government used public moneys to protect private interests.

Why didn't the merchants pay for their own defense? I thought we believed in responsibility and the free market? How come in this case the citizens interests are looked after, but in the Foxconn case the government is overstepping? Is it because they were the merchant class and not the working class?

And how come this idiot OP throws around meaningless terms like socialism lite and crony capitalism?

That is twisting it.............Protection of U.S. citizens around the world is within the scope.....Taking on the pirates would be protecting citizens.
 
No but funding the military is Constitutional spending.

Military spending and defense spending are two entirely different budgets.

I'm all for defense spending. But I'd bring our troops home and build more bases here.That's real defense spending.

All of this illegal occupation all over the world is unconstitutional absent a declaration of war, however. That's all military spending and it's only enriching the weapons manufacturers and special interests.

So, if Wisconsin was in Saudi Arabia it would be okay?

Nope. We print money. We have a planned economy. We have economic interventionism by the government. We have a centrally planned economy by a central bank. We have a belief in deficit financing. We have protectionism. We have inflationism.

I wish we had free markets. But we don't.

While I agree with much of what you say, the bases are not illegal. But I am all for closing them all bringing everyone home.

The bases are there based on the requests of others. They are funded through the military budget. And while there was no formal declaration of war with North Korea, we still went there anyway.

But as we have seen if you are far left you do not need to follow those rules anyway, in the illegal wars of Obama.

But do you really want to close bases in Germany, South Korea and Japan?

What we have here is every excuse in the book to protect capitalism from being exposed as faulty.

What we have in reality is a capitalist system of production and all the ills that stem from it.

I'll tell you something. Some of the biggest promoters of socialism are people whom identify as conservative. Some of the biggest promoters of the concept of government-over-man identify as conservative. Some of the biggest proponents of a government controlled/interventionist economy identify as conservative.

If I were a socialist, I wouldn't be arguing with them about remedial things. I'd be expanding on precisely what they're already expressing in their own arguments.

I think that's really the brilliance of this thread.

So it sounds like you are conflating government over man with socialism and I know it is a common conception, but it isn't mine. So ya'll just keep fighting it out among yourselves.

My fighting days are over. Mainly I just run my mouth once in a while.

I plan on retiring on a warm beach some place sipping on those little fruity things with the umbrellas in em.
