Economics 101

[Rshermr]

Are you serious, or are you simply trying to prove you are a toad. You forgot all of the amendments. Jesus, me boy. Were you born stupid, or have you been working at it. Have you ever wondered why, if Social Security, for instance, was not illegal, the Supreme Court disagrees with you? Proof again you are an idiot.

No, stupid....I don't wonder at all. The Supreme Court does is not stacked with 9 justices dedicated to upholding and defending the U.S. Constitution as it was intended to be. Instead, idiots like Obama stacked it with political activists such as Sonja Sotomayor and Elana Kagen.

It speaks volumes that you can't dispute my factual claim. If all you can say is "why does the Supreme Court disagree with you", then you have no leg to stand on at all. The U.S. Constitution dictates how the government functions - not the Supreme Court. Show me what article and section in the U.S. Constitution the federal government is authorized to provide Social Security, Medicare, etc.

You are so astoundingly ignorant of the most basic fundamentals of the U.S. Constitution and U.S. government that you are actually shocked when someone speaks the truth to you. You are a Dumbocrat master's dream. Completely ignorant, totally blind, and fiercely obedient to their false narrative.
What is really stupid is that you think that social security and medicare are illegal. And, me boy, it would take one chief justice to determine it was illegal. Sorry you think that a Supreme Court that has been mostly conservative for over a decade could stop that.
Now, here is the thing. If you think those programs are illegal, you could no doubt find a source to back you up. You know, me boy, an impartial source. If you ever use them. So, I will be waiting to see that source to back up your claim. Otherwise, we can all consider it just a stupid claim by a stupid person.

Here are a few Democratic Socialist Nations, for you review. And please, you should not get pissy with me. I am helping you. Get pissy with the people who have been lying to you.

"The Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism orNordic social democracy) refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries(Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Sweden)."
Google

Now, if you were capable of it, you could look at the internet and find another 40 or so.

I don't need to "review" them. I can promise you that I know about them than you ever will. For instance, I know that everything you point to about those nations is 100% false. I know that you people also pointed to Greece for these same "success stories" only to watch the nation completely collapse. Over the past 5 years, they have experienced horrific riots. One the past year, the banks were shut down and people were allowed to pull $70 per week to live off of. I know that England is currently trying to decentralize their single payer, government-run healthcare system because it is collapsing their nation.

And I know the single most important thing that you are far too stupid to realize - that while libtards such as yourself point to all of these other nations as bastions of liberal utopia, not one of you assholes ever denounce your U.S. citizenships and go live in these nations. Meanwhile, people from all over the world (including these nations) risk their lives to make it to the U.S.

You lose. But thank for playing.
You won nothing, me boy. At this point, I have provided proof that there are democratic socialist countries doing very, very well. Complete with a link;
You, on the otherhand, have no proof of what you say. No link. Just your opinion. And you must know how much I value your opinion.
That is two losses for you, two wins for me. Dipshit.

Second, a public library is not socialism as it does not take from one to benefit another. Everyone can use that library. Same with roads. Furthermore, it is done at the local level where it is legal.

So, you are suggesting it is LOCAL socialism. Did you have a point?

The fact that you actually need this explained to you yet again is unbelievable. There are two points to be made here - both of which I have already made. Both of which are very simple. And both of which you have been incapable of grasping for some reason. Here they are yet again:

The U.S. Constitution explicitly restricts the federal government to 18 enumerated powers. Anything beyond those 18 specific powers is 100% illegal for the federal government to involve themselves in. It is unacceptable for our federal government (or any level of government for that matter) to engage in illegal behavior.

A library and a road is not socialism. It does not take from me and give to you. The road is not yours. I have as much access to that road and that library as you do or as my neighbor does. But when the federal government takes my money and buys food with it that they then give to unemployable people like you, and you eat that food, that is socialism. I labored - you benefited.

The fact that you actually need this explained to you yet again is unbelievable.
Perhaps it is time you provide a link, dipshit. Because so far you have not proven you are correct.
So, are you unable to prove you claim?

incapable of grasping for some reason. Here they are yet again:
I grasped them. They are untrue statements. Which is why you can not prove them.

A library and a road is not socialism.
Of course not. A library is an entity that is social, created and run by local gov. A road is a product created by a private company but paid for and governed by the government, either national or local. Neither are socialism, dipshit. Socialism is an economic type. They are social entities in that both were paid for by taxes.

The road is not yours. I have as much access to that road and that library as you do or as my neighbor does.
The road, me boy, belongs to us all. In other words, it belongs to the government, who collects taxes to pay for the road, and to maintain the road. Making it (Now pay attention) a social entity. If it were private, as toll roads often are, then you would have no right to use the road unless you paid tolls to the owner of the road. And it would be PRIVATE.

Yes, me poor ignorant con troll, food stamps are a social program.
That is really, really bad, me poor ignorant con troll. You got one of 4 correct. I would shoot myself if I were that stupid.

 

[P@triot]

What is really stupid is that you think that social security and medicare are illegal.

Me boy....I don't "think" anything. I know they are illegal. The U.S. Constitution says so.

And, me boy, it would take one chief justice to determine it was illegal.

Again....me boy....a "Chief Justice" doesn't determine that. The U.S. Constitution does. The question is - why haven't you taken 10 minutes out of your life to read it and why do you comment about something you've never read?

Now, here is the thing. If you think those programs are illegal, you could no doubt find a source to back you up.

I did. I've given you the source a dozen times now. It's called the U.S. Constitution, me boy... You seem really confused. Perhaps all of this is just a tad over your head?

You know, me boy, an impartial source. If you ever use them. So, I will be waiting to see that source to back up your claim.

There is no more impartial source in the world than the U.S. Constitution. I've proven you have no idea what you are talking about. You're completely and totally unqualified to be having this discussion because you simply have no idea about the subject matter.

 

[P@triot]

That is two losses for you, two wins for me. Dipshit.

Uh-oh....someone is a little butt-hurt about having their ignorance about the subject matter exposed. But here's the thing "me boy" - that is your fault. You're the one who wants to speak out about a subject you are 100% ignorant about. Don't blame me for your failures and your mistakes.

 

[P@triot]

I would shoot myself if I were that stupid.

You are that stupid. You can't even figure out how to respond to comments on a website. You have to change colors to respond instead of properly quoting. What kind of a tool can't figure out how to respond to comments properly? You have to be really dumb for this to be too difficult for you.

 

[P@triot]

Perhaps it is time you provide a link, dipshit. Because so far you have not proven you are correct.
So, are you unable to prove you claim?

I provided it at least a dozen times already. It's called the U.S. Constitution, me astoundingly ignorant boy!

Here is a link, me astoundingly ignorant boy!

And here is the actual document itself, me astoundingly ignorant boy!

The road, me boy, belongs to us all. In other words, it belongs to the government, who collects taxes to pay for the road, and to maintain the road. Making it (Now pay attention) a social entity. If it were private, as toll roads often are, then you would have no right to use the road unless you paid tolls to the owner of the road. And it would be PRIVATE.

Wait. Wait. Wait. You think Toll Roads are "private"? Bwahahahahahahaha!!!! You really are the dumbest poster in the history of USMB.



(Psst......stupid.....the toll roads are owned and operated by the state governments. The tolls are just to pay for the roads themselves, repairs, etc.)

 

[P@triot]

Me: A library and a road is not socialism.
You (stupid): Of course not. A library is an entity that is social, created and run by local gov. A road is a product created by a private company but paid for and governed by the government, either national or local. Neither are socialism, dipshit.

(Synopsis - you 100% agree with me and then end it with "neither are socialism, dipshit". Uh....yeah stupid....that's exactly what I said)

Me: The road is not yours. I have as much access to that road and that library as you do or as my neighbor does.
You (stupid): The road, me boy, belongs to us all.

(Synopsis - once again you 100% agree with what I said and just parrot my accurate points)

You (stupid): You got one of 4 correct. I would shoot myself if I were that stupid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, stupid let's think about this. I got the food stamps right (according to you) and I got the fact that roads are not "socialism" right (according to you). So by your own account, I got at least 2 out of 4 right.

You are literally so stupid, you either can't count past one or you don't even realize when you agree with what other people say.

What is really stupid is that you think that social security and medicare are illegal.

Got it, dipshit. So you can not prove your point. Because you were lying. got it.

That is two losses for you, two wins for me. Dipshit.

Sure, me boy. You can not find a single source. You would need to have the constitution and all amendments, and you do not, dip shit. But, if you were telling the truth, you would simply provide a link. I know you are lying. I know ss and medicare are completely legal. And I know you lost, and are twisting and turning like a frog in the fire. You are funny, however. Sad, but funny.

 

[P@triot]

Ayn Rand believes in greed and selfishness which she seeks to justify by vilifying the poor. Anyone who reads her has wasted their time.

Exactly like you do! When is the last time you skipped a meal to make sure that someone else had a meal? When is the last time you picked up a second job to pay for the health insurance policy of someone who was uninsured?

Never. You know why? You're selfish and greedy.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!! You're so humiliated by your astounding ignorance being exposed that you're attempting to cover it up by posting something that proves nothing. Where in that entire post does it show any private company owning any toll road, stupid?

All you did was list the roads, the tolls, and the costs. Not one word about them being owned by private companies. You are such an asshole. You comment on things when you have no idea what you're talking about. Then you throw a tantrum like a small child when someone proves that you have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[P@triot]

If it were private, as toll roads often are, then you would have no right to use the road unless you paid tolls to the owner of the road. And it would be PRIVATE.

By the turn of the twentieth century most toll roads were taken over by state highway departments.

Q: Why do I have to pay a toll to use the Ohio Turnpike when I already pay taxes?
A: The maintenance, operation and security of the Ohio Turnpike are funded almost exclusively through tolls – not taxes. Your taxes pay for other roads and interstates, but not the Turnpike. What’s more, the Ohio Turnpike receives no federal funding and only a small portion of state tax ($0.05 per gallon from gasoline purchased only at service stations on the Turnpike). This small portion of state tax money is specifically allocated to the maintenance and repair of bridges and overpasses that are state routes

Taxes?!? Taxes? Private companies can't lay and collect taxes. Only government can. Why would there be a FAQ on a government website about the reason for toll fees when the people already pay taxes.

Oh that's right...because the toll roads are run by the state. Not by private companies. Unless you're living in the 1800's.
