When America was American...were there cries for socialism like there is today?

[basquebromance]

from the article:

“The situation is extremely dire for the huge percentage of the population that lives in poverty,” Andrés Guilarte, a young Venezuelan political activist who is now living in the United States, told the Washington Examiner. “Almost 90 percent [of the country] is living with less than $1 per month.”

Guilarte argues that socialism has taken the people of Venezuela to a “primitive survival mode.”

“Every single day, people are facing choices between buying food or paying for bus tickets, eating garbage, not being able to find medicines or not having money to pay for it, [as well as] water and electricity shortages,” said Guilarte.

“Millions of people, due to the constant electricity and water shortages, had to go back to using oil lamps and gathering water in big plastic containers. Every single one of the factors that make the humanitarian crisis as bad as it is is growing day after day, and people are leaving the country by any means they can.”

The 'Greatest nation on earth' is being destroyed, and many Americans are revelling in it'.

Agree.
We call those whom are causing the destruction and reveling in it....LEFTISTS.

Sorry, but it is the idiot Trumpers.

Hold on a minute...”Trumpers” like America just the way it always was...you know, when it grew into the greatest nation on the planet...It is piece of shit Leftist who insisted on taking something great for the masses and morphing it into something great for the .002 percentile....Remember now?

I remember it recovering under Obama, now it is dying quickly. And whether it was ever the greatest country would be a matter of opinion.

What metric are you using to reconcile your assertion that America is “dying”?
Or is this an opinion of someone gay with a blue Mohawk, face tattoos, nose piercings and no job?

It has been going downhill for years, and it has lost the respect of most of the world.

The attraction to socialism has nothing to do with skin color.

It's happening because the Right has fucked up capitalism.

That’s a hell of a spin...A quick glance at the data proves you’re a liar....Socialism is attractive to poverty stricken, lowlife criminal pieces of shits...Guess who tends to be poverty stricken, lowlife criminal pieces of shits?

No, back then America consisted of Americans. Americans love freedom over free shit, the defining characteristic.

Your completely fallacious take on what social programs do and what their goals are, continue unabated. The idea that social programs are "free shit" it utterly false.

When Johnson started the "War on Poverty", the poverty level in America was 23%. When Reagan ended the "War on Poverty", less than 20 years later, the poverty rate in the USA was 12%. The rate of poverty went up during the Great Recession to around 15%, but has been steadily declining for the past four years.

When America was American...were there cries for socialism like there is today?

Programs which provide food, shelter and income assistance to low paid corporate workers via food stamps and earned income credits are a Republican scam to provide wage subsidies to some of America's most profitable corporations. And fools like you continue to support this lunacy.

 

[Dragonlady]

Did politicians build entire foundations and campaign platforms on TAKING from others to fund our worse, our least productive, Mexico’s worse an least productive?
Has the injection of tens of millions of thirdworld foreigners into American society changed and influenced the traditional American perspective on matters such as socialism? Isn’t traditional American perspective part of what built the greatest nation on earth? Are we sure we want that gone?

Yes they did. Reagan build his entire platform on tax cuts for the rich - the laziest and least productive members of society. He did so by taking money out of the pockets of working men and women, and giving it to the corporate owners. By destroying the union movement, and by refusing to give minimum wage workers a raise - 1 raise in the minimum wage in 9 years, while executive salaries doubled, Reagan gave millions to the least productive members of society.

Reagan promised all workers a big fat raise when the unions were gone. Just as Triump promised workers a $4000 raise when he cut corporate taxes. Workers are still waiting - for either one of those "big raises.

Before we go any further..let me make sure I understand you clearly....Have you asserted in few words that rich folks are the “laziest least productive” people among society and those working minimum wage are the “hardest working most productive” among us?

A legitimate goal of a welfare program would be to provide for fellow citizens who are having a rough time.

Instead what they do is provide for anti-American invaders who would rather destroy the country, while also encouraging dysgenia, the procreation of low IQ idiots like DragonLady at the expense of average or smart folks. As a result we are now all dumber because of the policy, just as we are as a result of the utterly stupid post by a non-American.

Every year, we are literally dumber because of what morons like dragonlady parrot.

Unless you made the money yourself, you're simply standing on the shoulders of giants. The members of the Walton Family have done little productive with their lives, and aren't even running their father's company. I don't see why the lazy children of industrial giants get a free pass in life.

I'm neither bitter, nor envious. I've done well enough for myself and have nothing to complain about. But I see a lot of my working class friends and family who are being utterly screwed in the "new economy". Many haven't had a meaningful raise since the 1990's. They're approaching retirement with little to show for a lifetime of hard work.

The elite of the world have convinced fools like you to turn over the world's income to the elites and leave crumbs for themselves. What fools you worshippers of the wealthy and the elites truly are. I have respect for those who make the money themselves, but their children, should not be handed the world on a platter.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Waltons. Trump and his children don't have that much money.

I'm of the firm belief that the reason Trump doesn't reveal his taxes is that he really isn't worth very much money at all. I also think that Trump truly hates the USA because he's been such a huge business failure, and he blames the bankers for his failures. US banks stopped lending to him in the 1990's after his Atlantic City bankruptcies, and still won't lend him money. I can see Trump wanting revenge and thinking he's justified because they've treatly him so unfairly.
