  1. The Royal family is not responsible for national economic policy or people's personal choices.

  2. Sure you will!

  3. Welfare enables and encourages irresponsibility.

  4. Like the average Cuban.

  5. No. People are dying by the hundreds of thousands because of government meddling. <Energy companies must be stopped in their criminality.> Energy companies are indirectly owned by the government. <The Government are not regulating the criminals.> Because government enabled those criminals by overtaxing and over-regulating everyone else out of the market. The tax-the-rich policies the people support.

  7. No. You have nothing to lose except your freedom and personal agency as under communism you'll become state property.

  8. LOL. Technology will not save humanity.

  9.  @Freedomisintelligence  No it won't as technology eventually breaks down and can be used for evil.

  11. You misspelled socialism which actually has what you accuse capitalism of.
    1
  12.  @TiredEnigma  Cuba. Food = still relies on US aid. Home = crumbling and lacking basic utilities. Healthcare = only for tourists and bureaucrats.

  13. Only for costs to be increased 500% to cover it.
    1
  14. Pretty much. If anything this is the social democracy and welfare state much of the West vote for.
    1
  15. The fruits of feminism and welfare on full display.
    1
  16. And also unsustainable welfare.

  17. Thanks to the socialists in charge.

  18. And then a DISPOSABLE INCOME TAX. <yet the millionaires and billionaires pay less tax for no work while there bank accounts grow.> Because they were wise enough to INVEST while you spent all you have on trying to live "the good life." Yes you may have worked hard and earned the right to try and live that life, but it doesn't make it a wise thing to do especially if you care about your future.
    1
  19. LOL. <This is the problem that capitalism cannot ever resolve.> Or socialism as proven by Cuba.

  20. Beats the socialism many migrants are fleeing from.
    1
  21. Well, it is with hundreds of thousands wanting out.
    1
  22. Labour will not save you.
    1
  23. You have only high taxes, inflation and big government bureaucracy to thank for that. Welcome to the welfare state you voted for.
    1
  24.  @Loostyc  Only for costs to be passed down to everyone else to cover it unless you don't mind shortages and a regressing economy.

  25. Australia already has this and its situation is every bit as bad.
    1
  26. Footballers work in an industry that's profitable enough to pay them such salaries.
    1
  27. Because government enabled and facilitated it.
    1
  28.  @dantohatan  Yet many slaves risked homeless and death to escape as apparently all the guaranteed basic needs were not worth the abuse and mistreatment they had to endure.
    1
  29. Which is a by-product of feminism and (Cultural) Marxism.
    1
  30. Because you live beyond your means when you're not being overtaxed.
    1
  31. Or deserve an easy life at someone else's expense.
    1
  32. And HELLO to destitution when you become too old to take care of yourself.
    1
  33. This is the socialism you voted for. And socialism costs a lot of money to maintain.
    1
  34. With money stolen from families struggling to provide an easy life for themselves. <no human should struggle or think about where their next meal will come from !!!> How idealistic? Inevitably every other human will struggle and think about where their next meal is going to come from once there are no more "rich" to tax. Socialism failed for a reason.

  35.  @elina4005  To support the ever-growing size of government and public sector.
    1
  36. Energy companies are indirectly owned by the government.
    1
  37. Rent control does not work unless you don't mind shortages, no new housing built, 0% vacancy rates, higher rents for whatever's available and housing either sold off to corporations or left to crumble.
    1
  38. Because under communism, people would be living in squalor and have barely anything at all to buy.
    1
  39. You allowed them to when you decided to cede welfare and family care to the state.
    1
  40. Not everyone is innocent. Some people are living beyond their means and/or can't manage their personal finances.
    1
  41.  @candyann-qb2xi  Because in 1934, there was no welfare to encourage single motherhood.
    1
  42. No it isn't. Build your own or buy it.
    1
  43. Left-wing/socialist policies = inflation, internal displacement by mass immigration, high living costs, debt, bloated government and public sector, etc.
    1
  44. Because they invest while the poor live beyond their means.
    1
  45. The beneficiaries, descendants and ex-members of communism rule Eastern Europe.
    1
  46. The vast majority who are not making minimum wage?
    1
  47. Well, average citizens got what they voted for.
    1
  48. To cover the higher taxes, inflation and other costs imposed on them.
    1
  49. No. Common people failed to provide themselves dignity. And dignity is not going to be found in socialism either waiting on the state to provide for you as if you're too helpless and pathetic to support yourself.
    1
  50. Left-wing economic policy at work.
    1
  51. Because socialism was allowed to co-opt and pervert it.
    1
  52. Then you better not complain when an immigrant comes in and will happily takes those jobs as he/she sees them as preferable to whatever they had in their home countries. <people shouldn't be forced to do them.> But the rest of society shouldn't be forced to support those who choose not to work because they rather starve than work a job that's beneath them.
