How to sell me on socialism.

[PredFan]

You want to get me to support the idea of socialism? Here's how you do it.

The essential idea is that everyone has the same as everyone else, there are no rich and no poor.

1. The rich, like Gates, the Clintons, Warren Buffet, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Cher, Meryl Streep, and also the Koch Brothers, all of them must give up their riches.

2. The government controls the means of production, everyone gets paid the same.

3. The law of the land is that you must work. Unless it is medically impossible for you to do so, you have to have a job. Severe penalties for those who do not. You can and will get fired if you do not work to standards, and severe penalties for that as well.

4. As production and GDP increases, everyone gets raises.

The problem with socialism as Crazy Bernie and Hollywood and the DNC want is that they have no intention of giving up their riches. The rest of us little people will, but they won't. It will fail as it always has.

Bernie went way too far with his free everything...but it is fair to make sure that the mega rich pay taxes honestly

Where in the Constitution does it say the Federal Government should be paying for any of these things?

Dear PredFan
The way to "sell" it is similar to Christianity:
1. practice it yourself
2. fund the charity programs yourself
3. demonstrate it works so well that
other people CHOOSE to join, participate and contribute FREELY
4. GROW the program naturally where
participation and development is by FREE CHOICE not coercion
5. WHAT A CONCEPT, Right?
a. People *choosing* to join and follow a belief
by free will instead of being forced by govt? What? No way!
Is that like, religious freedom or some "foreign" concept??
b. Programs growing to serve more and more people
because they are proven to work, just like other
nonprofits or businesses that EARN and maintain good service reputations.

Is that the opposite of FAITH based?
Isn't it the liberals who insist that things be proven BEFORE
demanding that people follow and fund them?
What is this? This sounds like the right to choose.
Can you really expect that to work in a free society?

Where in the Constitution does it say the Federal Government should be paying for any of these things?

Where in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government should be paying for Congress to get full pay of $170.000 plus medical, Life, benefits a year only working 149 days...?

Adding to that the money they get from Big Donors, gifts,and lavish vacations.

Article I

Donors give to their campaigns. And the maximum donation is $2,700 per election. Gifts and "lavish vacations" are against ethics rules.

You say that as you live in a socialist republic.

I am an individualist before I am a socialist.

If socialism means that communities should collectively organize their means of production and distribution, then I am more than in favor of that. I don't approve of states using coercion to make us their revenue slaves. If your socialism isn't voluntary, then I wont stand for it.

EXACTLY Eaglewings
Two wrongs do not make it right!
Corporate Welfare vs.Social Welfare
does not balance the budget, but doubles the debt and burden on taxpayers!

It's not either/or
but GET RID OF BOTH!!

Why would anybody try to sell you on anything? You've already made it clear that you're a tinfoil hat loon, and you mind is closed, and you only accept right wing rhetoric. Think what you want. Your beliefs don't matter.

Who has tried to "sell" you on supporting the idea of socialism?

Do you believe that regulating an essentially capitalist system (such as ours) with certain well-conceived socialist policies and programs is the same as transitioning to total and complete categorical Socialism such as existed in the USSR, Red China, Cuba, et al?

Do you understand what socialism is? Do you know why and how it comes into being? Do you understand why the very idea of the U.S. adopting a socialist system is utterly absurd?

Give some thought to those nations which have adopted socialist systems; Russia (and its satellites), China, Cuba and a few smaller, less significant countries. What did they all have in common? The answer is complete social and economic collapse, usually subsequent to the ruinous effect of a major war or civil upheaval. So with this in mind, why do you suppose the United States of America, the richest and most powerful Nation in the world, would choose to discard the elements of its success and assume a position among the social failures of modern history? The simple answer to this question is the U.S. has absolutely no need to do so.

Any ideas you have to the contrary have been surreptitiously deposited in your mind by the super-rich who have good cause to fear and despise the implementation of socialist policies which benefit the ninety-nine percent of Americans while (justly) penalizing the one percent of pathologically greedy money hoarders who have severely damaged our economy and our social order with their ceaseless attempts to transform America into a two-class system -- the super-rich and the dependent poor.

That sounds about right when the top 1% have at least 40% of the wealth.

Dude, they have so many write offs so they pay less taxes...I own several homes and other things, I can't imagine what these billionaires have let alone the best tax employees in the US..
