The Socialist Plan

[PaintMyHouse]

The lie is we are still at war with North Korea, which we haven't been since 19 ******* 53 even though you have a laundry list of BS that might have reignited the war, and did not, not even for a ******* hour.

How can it ignite something that has continued to go on until now.... As I said, you're a moreon, and I enjoy showing just how moronic you are...oh, and entertaining as it's SOOO ******* EASY to ***** slap you!

Dumbass, even with all that we haven't been at war with them since 1953. God you're an idiot...

Just exactly what I said...

Yes, you added that last sentence AFTER I posted, but that's OK, we still know your a low life, scumbag!

No, I'm honest, something you are not. I don't go around telling people we are still at war with North Korea, which makes you a fuckin' loon...

You? Honest? You are one of the most dishonest posters here. And one of the most ignorant.
We have never signed a peace treaty with North Korea. We are still in a state of war against that country but not shooting because there is a cease fire in place. This is simply fact. Do you dispute these facts?

What you call Sanders' 'socialist' agenda, point by point, is more popular with the American people than the average rightwing anti-socialist agenda.

It's popular with those who think all those things he supports is owed to them and that someone else should be forced to provide them. In other words, it's popular with the leeches of society.

That's one way to look at it.

Another is people with vision trying to use the tool of government to run the pesky bureaucracies that are necessary for a society to function where almost every member has running water, heating and/or air conditioning, communications out the wazoo, and relative security concerning everything from product safety to stored treasure.

Government only hurts when it's Gerrymandered in to the hands of extremists.

`​

A vision doesn't involve establishing a system where those who don't contribute to the society benefit from those from whom that funding is taken and the non-contributors also get to determine how much someone else pays. It's a nightmare for those subjected to the government acting.

Bernie Sanders is not a socialist. The Democrats are not socialists.

In this whole mudslinging shit.................the working class has been radicalized and demonized.
Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Party and socialism - World Socialist Web Site

No. **** you.

this will be your future under the Socialist/Democrats. of course they will be your Masters telling you what you can eat, drink and do or they cut you off the government tit. should be fun

snip:

The Danish model of government is close to a religion here, and it has produced a population that regularly claims to be among the happiest in the world. Even the country’s conservative politicians are not suggesting getting rid of it.

Denmark has among the highest marginal income-tax rates in the world, with the top bracket of 56.5 percent kicking in on incomes of more than about $80,000. But in exchange, the Danes get a cradle-to-grave safety net that includes free health care, a free university education and hefty payouts to even the richest citizens.

Parents in all income brackets, for instance, get quarterly checks from the government to help defray child-care costs. The elderly get free maid service if they need it, even if they are wealthy.

But few experts here believe that Denmark can long afford the current perks. So Denmark is retooling itself, tinkering with corporate tax rates, considering new public sector investments and, for the long term, trying to wean more people — the young and the old — off government benefits.

Great timing, as Paul Krugman also has this glowing piece out today: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/19/opinion/something-not-rotten-in-denmark.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

There is, predictably, very little overlapping data and evidence between the two, which is why there is simply no way to know what's actually happening.

We can't make intelligent decisions unless and until we're getting whole story. I'd think that would be obvious, but no one seems to care about that.

Does that bother anyone besides me?

Some on the left believe in simplifying government to help with self-reliance.

It's a propaganda piece.

What is the difference between a nurse or health care worker that comes out to the house or apartment for the elderly here and the caregivers that do the same in Denmark?
