So American laborers aren’t interested in making money? That’s odd. Why unions?You're the fucking thief and freeloader, relying on American labor for your wealth and then complaining when they assert themselves and stop you from exploiting them. Oh wait, perhaps you're not of the millionaire class, you're just one of those dumb workers brainwashed by the rich to vote against their own interests? Yes, that's probably what you are.

It's great that the US government refused to subsidies StarLink directly recently, for providing internet to rural areas. The US government subsidizes Elon's businesses in many ways:
Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies
Los Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space.

Elon Musk is speaking out against government subsidies. Here's a list of the billions of dollars his businesses have received.
Musk's companies benefited from subsidies as recently as April, when SpaceX won a $2.89 billion contract from NASA. Tesla got subsidies for years.

The US government reportedly paid to send Starlink terminals to Ukraine
SpaceX seems to have received millions in public funding.

Telecom should be nationalized due to its strategic importance to our national security and vital infrastructure. There is no need for SpaceX or BlueOrigin, hence the US government, the American people, should not be relying on these private for-profit companies to get into space, much less handing over space infrastructure to private companies. Our government should get itself into space and at best, contract private companies to build infrastructure in space while maintaining ownership. Whatever the US government spends on such endeavors should always remain in the hands of the American people.
We socialists, are the true patriots, not you. You want to hand all of our nation's wealth to a few billionaires and corporations. You people are stupid. Socialists love this country and want the American people to own our vital infrastructure, not Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

It will be because of scum bags like you who serve the interests of billionaires at the expense of the working class (i.e. public good).what our newest resident twat waffle fails to understand is when our economy collapses (and it will) it will be BECAUSE of socialist ideas not in spite of them.

Yeah, you commies think the government should own everything. Just because Musk provides good products that are contracted for by the government does not mean he is being subsidized by the government. As far as subsidies for EVs and solar panels, his customers get the same as every other company gets for similar products. So take you lies and commie propaganda and shove it.

Not "yeah", but NO. When was the last time that a private company you worked for held an election, allowing you to vote on who will become a manager, and how the workplace is going to be run? Never. If you tell me otherwise, you're bullshitting. Our system of government holds elections, at the local, state, and federal levels. The government is just our management company, managing our public assets, depositing the profits in a bank account owned collectively by the American people. That money can be used to pave our highways, build, repair, and maintain our bridges, and pay for healthcare, and education. etc. How can a true patriot be against the American people owning our nation's vital resources and infrastructure? We manage it through our government, that's all, very simple. Only complicated for disingenuous, miscreant assholes who want to hand all of our nation's natural wealth and heavy industries to a few billionaires. Why do they want that? Because they've been brainwashed by their capitalist masters.
Our nation's most precious assets should be owned by the public and become part of our commonwealth, not the private property of a few billionaires. This is common sense but you right-wingers are just completely brain dead. Fucking stupid.

Poor little commie, what do you fail to understand about "private"? It's pretty clear you're just a sniveling little brat that has never signed the front side of a paycheck. Get back to me when you have.

The US in the 1950s and 60s, had the highest tax rate ever at 90% for the wealthiest and that's when America experienced its golden age economically. It was 75% when Reagan became president and he lowered it to 39%.
What Warren said is true, for example, Starlink the global WIFI satellite network is heavily funded by the US government and yet Elon Musk is keeping all of the profits. Why shouldn't the American people own at least half of that company? Why should important space assets and other resources vital to our country's infrastructure remain in the hands of a few billionaires? Why should one man or family have so much power in our society and privately own resources that should be our commonwealth, owned collectively by all Americans? How are conservatives "patriotic" when they want to hand all of our nation's wealth, resources, and vital infrastructure to a few billionaires? That's not patriotic, that's just dumb and very dangerous.

These Commies never get tired of slinging bullsh**!
1. NOBODY paid the 90% tax rate because there was loopholes everywhere. What that tax rate did was stop money from moving out of investments into others because of the taxable event it caused.
2. The loopholes were closed, and the tax rate lowered, causing massive amounts of money to move from 1 sector to the other, which did cause LOWER taxable events which massively INCREASED money to the treasury. Look at income tax to the treasury tables!
3. What those lower tax rates did, was create far more millionaires, as people moved money from sector to sector. It created the American dream by allowing upward mobility for everyone willing to take a chance, and guess correctly. All you need do is look at tables from our own government which showed massive upwards mobility.
4. In fact....................more people moved from poor to middle class, and middle class to millionaires, than any other time in our country.
5. Want absolute proof by NOT looking up anything? What is the largest expense for most families? ANSWER------> that would be their home, and the mortgage they have to pay. Now then, look at the average size of the homes being built during the Commies supposed golden age. What was the average size? Now look at the average homes being built in the mid 80s on through to REGULAR Americans. Hmmmmmmm, if it was sooooooooo bad, where did they get all that money! How did most of them sustain their lifestyle when it sucked so bad? How did they do that, AND invest in 401Ks, along with sending their kids to college to learn how to be SOCIALISTS? Inquiring minds want to know!
6. These Commies whole stick is--------->look at all the money some people have. But, the real question is--------->how many of those people INHERITED that money, NOT named Kennedy? If they did NOT inherit it, how did they get it? How many of these Commies complaining own a new I-Phone? A new Galaxy? The latest and greatest gaming system? All of these companies/corporations, are filthy RICH! So why did you buy their products? ANSWER------->because they offered something you wanted, and were willing to pay the freight to get it! Now, you want your money back (through taxes) but want to keep your products, lol. But when the price of the next generation phone or gaming system rises dramatically because of the taxes these people are forced to pay because of SOCIALISTS, they will complain that they are getting screwed again, won't they; but they will again pay the freight while demanding their government does something about it, lol.
As a very wise person has said, and I repeat it often---------->Conservative Republicans are not, and never will be, the answer to all your problems. But liberal Democrats are certainly the cause of most of them! The rest of the problems, are caused by Socialists, and Communists.

Having a privately owned business doesn't mean shit if your business undermines the public good. More, there's no reason for the public to depend upon dictatorially run private companies for their goods and services when society can organize democratically run labor cooperatives. So go fuck yourself with your "private", exploitative, self-serving businesses. The dictatorship of the proletariat, where the people rule rather than a few rich assholes, is what socialists are going to establish here in America, whether you like it or not. The new generation is more socialist than any other in our history, tens of millions of Americans hate capitalism and identify themselves as socialists.Poor little commie, what do you fail to understand about "private"? It's pretty clear you're just a sniveling little brat that has never signed the front side of a paycheck. Get back to me when you have.

The rich ended up paying as much as 60% in taxes, with all of the loopholes. We should actually place a cap on yearly income making a million dollars or 1.2 million the most anyone can take home, the rest goes to the community (local, state and federal governments). Society shouldn't allow individuals or one family to privately own hundreds of millions or billions of dollars due to the negative effects it has on the community and as a matter of principle and ethics. If you're not satisfied with 100K monthly, too fucking bad, move to Mexico or Dubai, we don't want your greedy ass here in America.

Yeah, I wasn't paying taxes when the rates were 90%, but I do remember you were even allowed to write off cigarette taxes. Also any interest paid, not only on mortgages, but car loans and credit cards. But remember, legitimate deductions are not loopholes, no matter what propaganda the commies choose to spew.

You ignore the fact that with all of the exemptions the rich actually paid far less in taxes than they did after the tax rate was lowered.
Funny how you always seem to ignore the fine details.
