Socialism can be a wonderful thing if it is used properly, and other countries like Denmark and Sweden show that good forms of socialism work. It's not a bad thing that other people make it out to be, and let's face it, capitalism with hardly any restrictions is more trouble than it's worth. The best thing that we could do is become a capitalist-socialist country, where both ideas are combined into one. After all, progress is learning from mistakes and correcting them, and we need correction.

Wel lookie there folks!! The big banks were bailed out and giving billions in YOUR tax dollars. Then they are turning around and kicking you out of YOUR home! while you struggle to feed your baby with both you and your spouse working 2 jobs they jack up the interest rate on all your credit cards. They steal your money and then sue you for money accrued in the late fee scam. TAX THE RICH

Social health care and day care does not spell communism but bailing out banks and giving them tax breaks on the money they stole does.

( coersion ) = too big to fail

( theporksicle) = Retard ( I think Bill Oreilly needs a blow job so get to work )

( daveusaz ) = smacked you down really hard :=)

@SKClouD This shows that socialism is more popular than you think, despite the campaign to make it a curse word. I submit that a very bad thing for American people was the end of the Soviet Union. It used to be that high unemployment was embarassing. Not any more. There's no competing ideology. So the contradictions of capitalism sharpen...

[lordhighexecutioner]

@lives2live Even a typical businessman, otherwise blameless as he or she did not engage in these gambles, someone running a company, benefit by the lower wages caused by the unemployment caused by the crash. The rich owners and controllers have made out like bandits.

@theporksicle Stealing? So how will bridges and highways be built? A collection plate, perhaps?

[lordhighexecutioner]

@theporksicle Assuming that what you say is true, that does not change the fact that their Marginal Propensity to Consume is lower than that of the middle class and poor. It's more efficient to tax the rich, to move the burden to the rich than it is to shift it to the lower classes. That they consume so much is a function of the incredible inequality and is an indictment of the US system.

@theporksicle  And Capitalism isn't coercive?

[theporksicle]

@daveusaz1218

So you disagree that socialism is a coercive ideology? Or am I wrong in that respect too?

[daveusaz1218]

@theporksicle The only smart thing you said was "let them fail" if congress would have let the banks fail you would be singing a different tune But we would not look so stupid for giving them so much money for being irresponsible.

So you, my friend, can go back to sitting on your porksicle and tell us what flavor it is, because it so clear, that, it is the only thing you are qualified to do. So sit down and shut UP!!!!!

@theporksicle Sounds like you are one of the few with their head up their ass.
