We require zero socialism, dumbass.
Really now. You are using socialism when you post in there over the Internet. You are using socialism when you drive to get your groceries. You are using socialism when you turn on your lights. You are using socialism when you fire up your furnace in the winter.....it's a very long socialist list, cupcake.
That's 99% bullshit, dumbass. The internet was almost entirely created by private corporations. Yeah, the roads are built by the government, but that doesn't mean they have to be. My electricity is supplied by a private corporations, moron. The same goes for the gas in my furnace. You obviously don't know the slightest thing about our economy.
The US is a mixture of Capitalism and Socialism and always has been. All the way from the Whiskey Tax to today. It's now whether we need socialism or not, but how much. Capitalism, at the level of the United States could not exist without the social programs to make it work.
You just won an award, cupcake.

At the time of the Whiskey Rebellion, the government was less than 5% of the economy. Now it's 50%. There has been no noticeable improvement.
We don't need any socialism. Government ***** up everything it touches, including the military.
It's time to bust your bubble.
I was using the Internet long before you ever heard of it. We were using it in the Air Force. It was called ARPANET. It was a playtoy in the late 60s and early 70s by the Universities but the Air Force used it for work. We used it for Telneting, packet transmission, and more. The Bulletin Board System grew out of that. And from the BBS grew the Internet in the late 80s and 90s. The operating system was provided by IBM (Unix), the hardware was provided by Univax (Sperry Rand). From this, grew the roots to make the Internet as you know it today. Kid, you think you actually invented something? The threat of loosing over the air and over the telephone lines communication communication was the reason that ARPANET was invented. It was always intended as a Military Communications Tool.
I would list everything in your life that came out of a Socialist Program but the list would be almost everything that touches your life. You would even have to get rid of your Microwave and the electricity it takes to power it. Knowing you, you think that giving up your lights means you would have to watch Fox News on your TV by candlelight.
IBM didn't develop UNIX, moron. The government developed a few parts of the internet, like the TCP-IP protocol, but private corporations developed 95% of it. They were other private networks before the internet. We had something where I worked called token ring. If TCP-IP hadn't been developed, then private business would have used something else. There is nothing on this earth that only the government is capable of creating except possibly for the atom bomb.
The government is responsible for every product or service in this world that sucks, like the military and public schools. Both are grossly overpriced and ineffective. And, once again, private corporations supply your home with electricity, not the government.
Every time you submit a post you only demonstrate how stupid and ignorant you are. Of course, that's pretty much required to be a leftist.
If something else were to be needed then it would have been invented. But it wasn't needed because the Government contracted IBM to write it for the Government. The original idea was to us buried cables that were not affected by nuclear blasts and the Military Complex would still be in operation and the inner workings of the Federal Government could be taken under that umbrella. Your stupid little porn site wasn't on the agenda. Military use was the original idea. It just grew out of that. Just like many other things you take for granted today. If you were to stop using all those things intended for Military Use then you would be sitting in a cave foraging for sticks to fuel your fire.
You honestly believe the Interstates had anything to so with your little jaunt to the City? Eisenhower learned from Hitler on that one. The Interstate had the same original intent as the German Autobahn. It was to move military resources quickly over long distances. And those were paid for by the Rich, not the Middle Class. The very tax that you are fighting so hard to prevent. Without that Tax, there can be hardly any growth. In fact, we can't even maintain our infrastructure. People that made over 200K were taxed on the amounts over 200K from 70 to 90K to pay for those types of services.
Your drinking water is another case paid for through social programs. And you can add the sewage along with that. Again, paid for by the Value Added Tax of those making over 200K a year.
Let's not forget abut DARPA and NASA, both Federally funded programs and what they still contribute. You honestly thing Musk could do the things he does without those two? Could the Airlines be where they are without the Military Supported Programs?
Then there is Medicines. Universities are Federally funded. Insulin was funded and the patent was owned by the Federal Government and sold for 1 dollar AFTER it passed it's trials. Why is the US version (the same exact formula as the original Federally funded formula) costing over 1000 buck a dose when it costs only a few dollars to actually make? Hello Capitalism.
Your Capitalism seems to screw up many "Social" programs. The problem is, when you allow Capitalism to go unchecked the greed factor goes completely insane. You need a Social Program as a watchdog on it.
Plus, some things, you must have a social program to administer it. Capitalism is not capable of doing it otherwise, it goes insane and the corruption messes the whole system up.
Both Capitalism and Socialism need each other to exist at a high level. One without the other means a total disaster. So you keep screaming "Socialist,....spit on floor" all you want but you are involved in Socialism every day of your life.
