A member Democratic Socialists of America will be giving Democrat response to State of the Union.

OK, stay vague!

I said nothing vague. We are largely a Socialist nation that still pretends it practices capitalism.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Is that right? Hmmmm, I guess I never knew I did. Thanks for filling me in.

As dblack said, corporate welfare is an abuse of government. At the same time, it leads to government owning the means of production....you know.....Socialism....

I said nothing vague. We are largely a Socialist nation that still pretends it practices capitalism.

And who is maintaining that abuse of government?

Not me.

"I agree BUT it is our economy." is vague horseshit. If you don't want to have a discussion, if you don't want to be understood - that's your call.

So we all agree. Our economy is largely socialist.

 

[pknopp]

Not me.

Largely the "capitalists".

There is nothing to discuss.

I agree BUT it is our economy.

What the **** is that supposed to mean, that it's not the government's fault?

 

[dblack]

What the **** is that supposed to mean, that it's not the government's fault?

It's a secret!

 

[pknopp]

What the **** is that supposed to mean, that it's not the government's fault?

We are the government.

 

[bripat9643]

We are the government.

Try not paying your taxes and then say that.

 

[pknopp]

Try not paying your taxes and then say that.

I have no problem paying for what I use.

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

So we all agree. Our economy is largely socialist.

Still debatable.

Do we all agree that it shouldn't be?

Exactly what have you seen in the past year to even suggest anything like that is happening? The rifts is between the modern far left Democrats and the radical extremist socialist "squad." In other words, far left vs off the reservation.

The bluedog Democrats you refer to are nearly extinct.

The bluedog Democrats

Still debatable.

Do we all agree that it shouldn't be?

Largely? Sure.

He thinks that makes him look smart, he is all show, no content. It will expose how dumb he really is.

 

[bripat9643]

I have no problem paying for what I use.

I have trouble with paying for stuff that I don't use and never asked for. I don't use public schools. Why should I pay for them? I don't use mass transit. Why should I pay for it? I don't use agricultural subsidies. Why should I pay for them? I don't use the SLS. Why should I pay for it?

You still haven't proven your claim that "we are the government."

Should I prove the sun rises in the East also?
