Sweet so if my company falls on its face I should get a big fat bailout as well. It's the American way. Socialism is the government bailing out the investment banks. If you want it your way then those company's shouldn't have gotten a fucking dime.

It amazes me that after the past year, stupid Republicans can still stand up and say the best way to move the middle class up is to make the rich even richer. I mean seriously, turn off Sean Hannity for 2 minutes and use your freakinâ brain. Thatâs like saying to cure world hunger, we should spend a bunch of money to give all the patrons at Ruthâs Chris even more steak and potatoes because that way more food will get thrown out in the dumpster for the homeless people.
I donât think Socialism is a viable option, in fact I voted for Ron Paul. Really if you just get rid of the fractional reserve banking, the gap will narrow significantly. But I do love it when people talk about Socialism as if itâs just taking the ârichâsâ money and giving it to everybody else. Like it doesnât matter what you do, the government is just gonna send you a check that they took from some rich guy. Thatâs not it at all. Does anybody actually think that a system would be set up whereby everybody just shares everything no matter what they do? Pretend for a minute that you had a âsocializedâ company. Everybody got paid the same. Or maybe the workers all got paid the same, and the managers a little more but all the same. Republicans act like under this system everybody is just getting a free check from someone elseâs pocket. They all do unequal work, but all get the same pay. In fact, you donât even have to show up to work to get paid. In reality thatâs not how it would work at all. Itâs more like the company(government) decides how much each job pays and then the person does the job and then gets paid. Do you actually think this pretend âsocializedâ company would still send a check to all those people who didnât show up to work and are liabilities to the company? All these stupid Republican catch phrases like â the problem with Socialism is that, sooner or later, you run out of other peoples moneyâ are just fancy slogans to win elections and keep the people dumbed down.
In the end everyone gets richer. If you want proof, you can look at the percentage of individuals or families making $70,000 or more or whatever amount and see that proportion from the 50's to now has grown by leaps and bounds. It's not a race to the bottom, but a race to the top, and all of the empirical evidence out there supports that fact. Any evidence to the contrary is from people without any data to back up what they're saying.
Not when jobs are getting sent overseas and the only people who are getting bailed out(subsidized) are financiers. Are you really this stupid? A lot of talented engineers and scientists are out of work. Because the government and our own people sold them out to foreigners. Dumbasses like you don't understand that because most likely you and your job don't produce shit. Seriously what do you do for a living? What do you produce?
If there is so much opportunity then how do you explain this? http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/the_dead_end_kids_AnwaWNOGqsXMuIlGONNX1K I'm sure they're all just lazy bastards. It also talks about small businesses. I also heard Rush Limbaugh talking about it earlier today saying its a problem.
