  1. Finally, I am against welfare actually completely, it is not the job of government to STEAL money from people to subsidise anybody, be it destitute poor people or large companies with political connections. If somebody is destitute they must seek PRIVATE HELP. Using gov't as a collection agency with guns and 'law' to transfer productivity of some individuals to others is immoral, it's stupid economics and actually it's unconstitutional, (which is the reason for Flemming v. Nestor ruling).

  2. Nonsense, the countries you like to speak of have no protection of individual freedoms, they never did. USA OTOH USED TO have protections of individual freedoms, the most important protection was the right to own and operate private property, all the other rights are derivative of that most fundamental, most basic right. Without that right there is nothing, and there are almost no countries in the world even today, that actually do that - protect individual rights.

  3. Core liberal ideology: STEAL. SS = a bankrupt pyramid scam. USA = a bankrupt country. slashdot . org/journal/303677/the-fake-fiscal-cliff-the-fake-debt-ceiling-and-the-fake-ss

  4. The banks should have never been bailed out, absolutely true. It is the SOCIALIST POLICIES that propagated from the bottom to the top, and the FASCIST IMPLEMENTATION, that is also collectivist, just a little different from straight international socialism, fascism is ultra-nationalist socialism. It is collectivism, central planning, anti-individualism, it is theft, discrimination and slavery. That's what created the situation that allowed the go'vt to bail out banks in the first place.

  5. For all the people who may not know and actually read your nonsense and believe it: Due to all the problems that those Scandinavian countries experienced with their socialist economies 20 years ago Sweden has ABOLISHED inheritance tax (0%) Sweden has top corporate tax that is LOWER than USA: 22% norway 28 corporate Norway's top tax bracket is 47.8%, which is LOWER than USA's counting State income tax They are lowering their taxes all the time and they live WITHIN their means (no deficit).

  6. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chad, Congo - great examples of government destroying the people, not protecting ANY freedoms whatsoever. Somalia - a country that had a civil was to gain liberties lost to the British and later to the Communists. Great example of what a post-civil war country looks like that is even now being exploited by super-empires of the world.

  7. Yeah, the entire problem with Republicans is that they are NOT actually conservative (and obviously they are not for sound economics, they are not libertarian, they are all talk). If Republicans were actually REPUBLICAN and Conservative, they would NOT be talking about percentages. 35% vs 39% tax? NO. That's not the compromise. The only compromise is 0% income tax, abolishing the Federal reserve, shutting down SS, Medicare, Wars, Medicaid and most of gov't departments, that's compromise.

  8. So in your country people would rather work but they don't work. You know why they answer that question that way? Because they ARE getting the subsidy and they feel ASHAMED of it (which they should). They are the problem - voting for the socialist policies and getting them in form of poverty. Socialism = universal poverty, that's all socialism does in the long run. The planet has rejected the principles of individual freedoms, unfortunately China is the best capitalist on the planet today.

  9. "So I guess you're against the concept of insurance as well, right?" - you don't know what insurance is. Insurance is not government. Government is not insurance. Insurance is a PRODUCT that people buy voluntarily (first key word for you), where there are ASSETS (second key word for you). You don't know what assets are, you don't know what voluntarily means, you don't know what insurance is. As to car: I have a bond, I don't have to buy insurance. One more comment on poverty coming right up

  10. You know what, US bonds will collapse, USD will be in crisis, US will no longer be able to borrow, just like Greece. Printing money is not a solution, it's the problem. Under those circumstances people WILL leave the 'union'. It's not legal at this point anyway, hasn't been for 100 years now. Here is a little for you to think about on 'Fiscal Cliff' and 'Debt Ceiling' nonsense (that's my journal): slashdot . org/journal/303677/the-fake-fiscal-cliff-the-fake-debt-ceiling-and-the-fake-ss

  11. Private sector is extremely effective at fighting poverty and private sector in the free market environment in the first 124 years of USA did an exceptional job fighting poverty. People, who used to be subsistence farmers, gatherers became urban dwellers, working on factory floors, being able to access products and services that never actually existed before, not only couldn't they be afforded, they didn't exist. Private sector created all the wealth that gov't destroyed over the last 100 years

  12. If by 'sincerity' you mean being sincere about wanting to STEAL from people, then I agree. As to 'exploiting others' - this character trait is extremely well expressed in your dear leaders, however in the free market people can't exploit each other as long as the gov't is authorised and used for one purpose only: protection of individual liberties. This is what you don't have, as a liberal this is what you can't even understand.

  13. As to Denmark, Sweden - they are running SURPLUSES, so they are extremely prudent. Whatever their taxes are, their spending does not exceed their revenues, which makes them much more conservative than USA. And of-course you have no idea that those very countries are moving away from socialism every day of every year for the last 20 years. 20 years ago they all were staring into abyss, they were able to save themselves by changing their direction away from socialism.

  14. If there are people who legitimately cannot survive without SS (the elderly without ANY other income and without any property, the disabled and such), those people must be transferred to legitimate welfare. The rest must be means tested, SS needs to be abolished completely, it's not a fund of any kind, there are no assets, gov't Treasury bonds are NOT assets, they are potential debt (if they ever can be sold, and once interest rates go up, good luck with that).

  15. As I mentioned enough times: SCOTUS ruled in Flemming v. Nestor (1960): "no one has an accrued property right to benefits from Social Security" It's NOT insurance, it's just a general purpose income tax, nothing else. Assets don't exist there, it's all bonds. They collect $1 in tax, spend it, put a $1 bond in, which needs to be SOLD to collect $1 to pay in benefits, and INTEREST must be paid and later TAXES must be collected AGAIN to buy that $1 bond back. For each $1 benefit $2+ is taxed.

  16. Those people, that are getting unemployment (as you said), they didn't buy that in the private sector. They didn't work and buy actual insurance against losing their jobs, they are relying on THEFT. They are thieves. Let me repeat it in a more correct way: they are THUGS. They use government threat of violence to STEAL money under the BARREL OF A GUN from people who work, so that they would be subsidised in their worthless existence. They are scum and thieving thugs.
