The foolishness of socialism...

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah but **** Jeff Bezos. The idea of him going broke only puts a smile on my face.

He is worth 110 billion dollars, I think he would be ok if he had to pay 7 billion in taxes. I do not think he would be going hungry.

So when that first 7 billion doesn’t pay for everything the left wants we go get another what? 14 billion next time? Even Besos eventually runs out of money.

True. I did not say I supported it, if you read the rest fo the thread you will see that I do not.

Lol
That’s not the point no one deserves what he has... lol

 

[Oddball]

Maybe so. In the big picture, he probably owes that money to the american people for all the damage he's done to local "brick and mortar" business. Lol, but that tax money they bleed from him won't be used to rebuild communities destroyed by e-commerce. It will be used to pay for black and hispanic people's constant unnecessary emergency room visits.

Meh....Most of it will end up on the pockets of well-heeled DC bureaucrats.

As much of a totally detached Marxist fuckchop that Bezos is, he made his money honestly....Rich assholes like him who promote crony corporatist socialism do so to squeeze out the competition....They learned well from how the FDA acts as a giant protection racket to keep BigPharm big.

Jeff Bezos would pay nearly $7 billion to Elizabeth Warren's Medicare-for-all tax

Why even own a business when the governments going to take everything from you, redistribution is for ******* pieces of shit.

And the money won’t even help anybody except for career politicians/deep state… Because tax money never leaves career politicians pockets. Lol

ahemmm....

OOPS CORRECTION, A MONTH, NOT DAY

Jeff Bezos earns that much money, on average, every single month he works...
let that sink in...

he would not get paid, for simply 1 month of work out of a year.


How much does Jeff Bezos earn per day?

How much does Jeff Bezos earn per day?
At the annual earnings rate Business Insider calculated — again, an estimation based on the change in his Forbes net worth year-over-year — Bezos has earned $6.54 billion a month, more than $1.5 billion a week, and more than $215 million a day in the last 12 months.Jan 9, 2019
How much money Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos makes every day, hour ...

See that is the difference between socialists/progressives like you and normal average people... I don’t want what other people have, I don’t want any part of it.

The politics of envy is only embraced by cowards like yourself, No one should have a claim to anyone else’s shit. Especially if the federal government agrees with fucked up socialism...

not surprised you feel that way.

Where the hell is a person supposed to buy their daily needs when the entire town is nothing but McDonalds and Walmarts? Even if we wanted to object to the corrupt business practices, a man's gotta eat. We're gradually becoming slaves to these evil corporations and it won't be long til we're subjected to oppressive Chinese laws on free expression.

I have never seen such a town and I have traveled extensively around this great country of ours.

It is interesting that you are against big corporations having such a "monopoly" over our lives but you fully support giving our own government a Chinese like monopoly over our lives.

Where do YOU go to buy groceries? Where I live there's only two choices, Walmart or Giant Eagle. The only type of independent enterprise that stands a chance around here are the hipster restaurants in the downtown sector where people employed by the local govt bureaucracy eat their lunches. The outlying residential areas are wastelands of urban blight: crumbling parking lots and abandoned storefronts.

I buy my groceries mostly from a local company that has grown to about 100 stores in the metro area I live close to. We have a WalMart and a few other choices in my town, but I prefer this store, so that is what I use.

If those are the only choices you have it is because the consumers of your area choose that by giving those two places all their business.

I have little sympathy for companies that cannot compete, it is not the fault of bigger companies they were better at what they do. WalMart started off with a single store just like everyone else. Sam Walton was just better at the business.

When I moved to the wonderful city of Yuma Az there was one hardware store, a little mom and pop kind of place. They were so outrageously overpriced that people doing any sort of project more than a simple thing drove 2 hours one way to Phoenix to get what they needed as it was still cheaper. Home Depot and Lowes opened stores in the town about a year later and the local place promptly went out of business, as they should have since they could not adapt.

Yep, Competition is the best thing for business. I invite competition it’s always made my business more successful. The last thing we need is fucked up government shit dictating all commerce.

If there's a Kroger affiliate nearby, I most often shop there....In the midwest, I choose Cub or Hy-Vee...Though I do hit the WallyWorld when on a road trip project, their selection usually is pretty limited.

It’s only fair, envy is the backbone of socialism. The have-Nots Will never realize they are exactly where they are because they deserve where they are...

Generally? No
But, shit does happen… I grew up basically in a Third World country the pine ridge Indian reservation. And true there’s no such thing as a self-made “man” But that does not mean that redistribution by some fucked up federal government is the answer to anything but fucked up envy and control freak nature.

Expecting to take something from someone else for your own success obviously is unacceptable, Socialism says for anyone to have any sort of happiness you have to take from others. Redistribution has and will never work.

Don’t like where your at get the **** out... I’ve been out of debt for over 20 years I don’t owe anybody for anything. Socialism makes the have-Nots its slave... fact

There has got to be a middle ground between being fucked over by bloated government and being fucked over by international corporations.

The key is to worry about oneself no one else, Everyone is in the station of life they deserve… It’s just the way it is.
Taking from someone else will never benefit anyone... Theft is theft.

...And political correctness makes people ******* retarded

You are seriously in need of some nuance in your worldview. No, not everyone gets what they deserve otherwise someone like Hillary Clinton would not be walking around free.

I 100% agree that redistribution by some fucked up federal government is not the answer...but not that people always deserve what they get or always get what they deserve.

My sister finds herself a widow at 60 due to the fact her husband had some rare heart disease that even most doctors never check for it as it is that rare. Diagnosed in Sept, dead in Jan. He did not deserve that nor does she deserve all that comes with being a widow and having your income cut in half just as you are making plans for your life together as you prepare to retire.

I Never personally knew my parents, socialism made sure that.
But that fact had no affect on my success/view of Entitlement.... Most of life is the state of mind and not thinking anyone owes you anything.

Protectionism, not redistribution is the sort of economic policy I am in favor of. Only insane people would say "yes" if the issue of selling American independence to international markets was put to a vote.
