New Pope Is A Commie

[Avatar4321]

I don't think he is a commie. He's wrong about governments using force to redistribute wealth.

Socialism doesn't mean taking money from those who work hard and giving it to those who don't.

You're thinking of CAPITALISM.

Not familiar with the free market are you?

And you are partially right. Socialism doesn't mean taking money from those who work hard and giving it to those who don't. Socialism means no one works hard and no one has any money. Except of course the government officials make sure no one else has anything.

Governments are elected, so they aren't using force.

The business journal Bloomberg Businessweek point out that the country of Denmark has a minimum pay rate of the equivalent of about $20 an hour, but its business climate is sufficiently healthy for the World Bank to ranked it as the easiest place in Europe to do business in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Denmark is also "among the leading countries in income equality and national happiness." Denmark also had a lower unemployment rate (6.8%) and higher labor participation rate (64.4%) than the United States (7.4%, 63.6% as of September 2013) where the minimum wage is far lower ($7.25).

He also said not to kill innocents.

Where do the progressive scum in this thread line up there?

Meanwhile, I find it interesting that in two threads there are anti-religion pukes who are arguing for state enforcement of religious practice.

They're finally showing their hand. They have ALWAYS been the side that wants to exert state control over religion. Always.

Religion is the source of most of the evil in the world.

Islam, the Catholic Church, the Republican Party all want to exert control over women's reproductive rights.

It's really sad that you seem to think the greatest evil of the world is people standing up and saying that you can't kill your children.

I had to laugh here. Governments work solely by force.

Actually..you don't seem to be.

True capitalism is the "investment class" making money off the labor of those who work.

Do you get that?

Or not.

Our government works by elections.

And you keep losing them because your party only represents the extraction companies and the 1%.

Ask the people of North Carolina how they feel about having a 70 mile pile of toxic sludge in the Danville river because the governor used to work for Duke Energy.

The cities rule the nation.

And the cities are full of welfare recipients, elitists, and criminals.

Most all of the people in this Nation receiving some sort of government assistance for food etc ARE WORKING PEOPLE....and there in lies the problem....wages are too low vs the cost of living, for many of these WORKING people to support themselves and children.... but by no means are they idle and not working.

WRONG,

Education and students APPLYING THEMSELVES is the problem. Minimum wage jobs are for kids. If you're an adult working a minimum wage job it's your own damn fault.

Grandpa, I am not talking about minimum wage, I'm talking about a man making $20 an hour, (not $7.75), with a family of 3 is not making enough to fully support them in some areas of the States, (especially once all the State and Federal and Local Property taxes are paid)....the cost of living has gone up sooooooo much the past few decades and wages have not kept up....not in the private sector...Of course in the public sector, they have cost of living raises AND merit raises, so they are keeping up better than the rest...

Correct again.

In most states self-sufficiency is around $25 an hour.

Actually the red states get more money than they pay in taxes.

California and New York are paying for the Red states federal money.

No, that's socialism. Taking isn't allowed under capitalism.

Bullshit.

Capitalism is all about taking. Greed is good.

For Republicans America is a platform for individual fulfillment. But here's the catch: the Individual is defined in the narrowest possible terms. Any notion of the "The Public Good" is seen as "Socialism" (socialism being anything the government does for the non-wealthy). The Free Market will fix New Orleans levees. The Free Market will effectively control the amount of derivative based risk Wall Street will take. The Free Market will get us off imported oil(rather than spending decades making terrorists stronger). The Free Market will keep our rivers clean. The Free Market will make healthcare more efficient. The Free Market won't bribe Washington in order to increase it's profit margin. We don't need to worry about "The Public Good", individual selfishness driven by short term profit is a utopian reflex.

But the world doesn't work that way. Selfishness harms society....tears it apart....destroys the world economy....spills millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.....tears a hole in the ozone...creates a garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas...melts the North Polar ice cap.....creates massive deficits by giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy....

But the Republicans celebrate this selfishness. It is their core value. For them greed is good.

Wrong. Under capitalism all transactions are entirely voluntary. Only government is allowed to use force.

Now you are changing your logic.

Really? Then please try to do something contrary to the rules the government has made and let me know what happens to you.
